I loved this show. Just Bob Costas and a guest for 30 minutes. No studio audience. Just two people having a conversation. It was great. Chris Elliott (along with his father Bob), Dave Letterman, Martin Sheen, Julian Bond, Jesse Ventura, and Jim Brown are some that I recall. My God. How could I forget Marilu Henner? Damn.
This was great, but the appearance they reference at the beginning of the interview (with Bob Elliott) was even funnier. I hope we can see that one eventually.
The guy under the seats seems to be a riff on Bill Murrays appearance on the first Late Night in Feb '82. Murray at one point turns to Dave and starts threatening him saying "I swear Letterman if its the last thing I do, im going to spend every waking moment.,. making your life.. a living hell...." Now I think about it, I don't recall seeing Bill Murray on any other show but Dave's, ever.
Bob Costas didn't' know how to roll with the joke at the end. He's smart with his witticisms, needs to be the smartest in the room. but doesn't know how to make others look good I guess.
I think he played it exactly as planned. His failure to reciprocate Chris’ gift is the final joke of the interview. That leaves Chris exclaiming, “Bob? Bob?”

Chris Elliot: funniest man alive.
I Highly recommend Daddy's Boy. Simply an amazing book.
I love that he’s wearing David Byrne’s jacket
Thanks Don!
Cool footage
This is so cool! Thanx.
To this day, Brando's banana dance still cracks me up!
Loved the Letterman/Elliot/Costas trifecta! And still do.
I bought that exact same sports jacket that Chris is wearing in early 1992

Yeah, I plan to put up all of the Chris/Bob interviews I've collected (not that many, maybe three or four).
Always loved Chris's act and always will ~ I am wallet boy ~
God bless us...every one.

His Marlon Brando Is The Best!
Are his childhood stories made up? I hope so.
My love of chris Elliott is not… line?

Is this all made up?
Made up in what way?
@@dongiller I don't know. He's such a phenomenal ad libber. I feel like he hilariously and seamlessly flows between reality and the absurd.
@@Pottedplants17 I sense he was honest for interviews such as this.
