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?”

I love that he’s wearing David Byrne’s jacket
To this day, Brando's banana dance still cracks me up!
Thanks Don!
Loved the Letterman/Elliot/Costas trifecta! And still do.
Chris Elliot: funniest man alive.

Yeah, I plan to put up all of the Chris/Bob interviews I've collected (not that many, maybe three or four).
This is so cool! Thanx.
Chris is GREAT on Schitts Creek now

His Marlon Brando Is The Best!
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.
@@danaskin5797 I sense he was honest for interviews such as this.
I Highly recommend Daddy's Boy. Simply an amazing book.
Cool footage
I bought that exact same sports jacket that Chris is wearing in early 1992
The Panicky Guy!

Many GET A LIFE ep title ended in 2000: PAPERBOY 2000, 1977 2000 etc
Doing comedy with Costas. true genius for trying
Always loved Chris's act and always will ~ I am wallet boy ~
The old Bob and Ray radio skits were hilarious
Popular enough on Fox tv than glee?
Wow. Didn’t know Chris came from a comedy family!
Are his childhood stories made up? I hope so.
