The most shocking scene in James Cameron's "The Abyss" is watching a harrowing underwater accident, followed by a cut to Chris watching it on a monitor. It really killed the tension.
Always great to see Chris Elliott do whatever his bit was, during Late Nights heyday. Chris can be seen on the (Canadian TV) C.B.C.' show "Schitt's Creek" with Andrea Martin and Eugene Levy.
I can't understand why at least ONE late night host doesn't just copy 100% what Letterman did in the '80's and '90's. He/she could even get Chris Elliott back for bits like this - - and Chris' Marlon Brando impression. I'd watch (or record) this kind of show every night.
Back when Chris "had hair".. Chris elliot is a really UNDER RATED COMEDIAN.. I enjoyed his comedy get a life.. His guest appearance on The king of Queens Skink the bounty hunter on letterman. Eagle EYE . simply H ilarious guy....
He was also in a short-lived series called Tattinger's (sp) - the show was about a restaurant and Chris took people's orders using an earpiece/headset kind of thing. That's what I remember most about the show... Plus he had a guest appearance in one of those Law and Order shows.
For a guy that was discovered by Dave during some kind of tour with his mother i think of one of the studios? Chris has done really well. He's not a leading man but can act in other areas quite well.
Does anyone have a clip of the old skit where Chris Elliot plays "The Dupper" - a little dog in a box, with Elliot's face superimposed over the dog's face, and talking to Dave. He tells Dave: "Hi, Dave, I'm The Dupper... and we're gonna be best friends, for ever, and ever, and EVER!!!" It is SO HILARIOUS!!! I think it was circa 1985 or 86, and it was the last "Viewer Mail" out of 4 or 5 hilarious viewer mails. I used to have it on a VHS tape a long time ago, that is how I remember...
dave "and a.... ... did you bring a clip?" chris "a clip, no i don't think so, they just kind of shoved me out here..." "i don't think we have a clip, we do have a clip? i guess we do have a clip..."
If that's the same show I'm thinking of, Dave was _not_ pleased. No more "Mr. Nice Guy", the veneer of congeniality with the crew he likes to project was totally gone, and despite Dave's best efforts to pass it off and appear jovial, the hard ass _Mister_ Letterman was quite apparent. Sometime before Letterman's arrival on set, it seems that regular guy Murray had gotten a genuine, somewhat loose, party atmosphere going with the the crew (the _very thought_ sincerely treating the "help" as equals) and Massa *did not* like it one little bit. I'd be willing to bet good money there were firings, at least of some of those not well protected by a union.
man, these were the days, and Dave was the MAN...I remember waiting all day for this to come on every night. aah, life was simple
+Randal Clarke i agree
+Randal Clarke i uploaded another one with Chris that's a parody of This Old House. check it out.
Sure sounds your life is simple. Dave is gone. is ur life real simple now?
What a pathetic life Randal Clarke
@@NELOPES7 why the malice?
"Could you give me the name of the guy that helped you?" Crushed it!!
i've quit watching the news. I just watch old Letterman clips. Much healthier.
BULL SCHEIST I never saw Dave talk trash about politics on his CBS stint
I quit a year ago. I'm sorry it took me this long.
Still a great idea!
Word
Exactly
"Can you give me the name of the guy who helped you?" Comedy gold.
No DVR back then, just me and my reliable VCR every night so I could watch these the next day.
I'm quite sad that Chris' career never really took off. He's definitely an A-lister for those that have seen his roles.
EAGLEHEART!
was he supposed to step into Burt Reynolds roles? i think he's done pretty good as a wacky comedian type. he's just not leading man material.
Yeah, well, he did alright. It would have been nice if he had a lead in a feature film. He was good in support on Groundhog Day.
Watch Cabin Boy.
Schitt's dude
Parting words from a talk-show host: "Good luck with your hair." 😄
And he was actually on miami vice! That was a real clip for once lol
I know. I want to see this episode.
@@RobAGabor I was shocked lol it is real
@@RobAGabor season 3 - down for the count part 2

Michael Mann used him again in Manhunter.
He was always so quick-witted.
What ever became of Chris Elliott!? He was iconic in the 90’s, then just kind of faded away...Definitely a great comedian!
Schitt's creek. He's still hilarious!
This guy is underrated.
Better than Will Ferrell.
because he didn't make childish noises and shove the comedy down your throat he never was appreciated.
These were ..great days indeed...most peculiar.
Nobody told me there were days like these;-)
Yehh...he is funny as hell. I remember the show he played in called "Get a Life" I thought that was hilarious.
matrox That is a cult classic now
You can buy the series. I think I got it on Amazon. Weirdest show ever
@@joebauers3951 Thanks for the info! It's been a while since last I checked and at that time it wasn't available.
👴🏿🚬 YIDDISH

"Baking oranges." "I'll use those this weekend."
Love Chris Elliot
SOOOO UNDER RATED COMEDIAN!!!!!! I pissed my pants laughing when I first saw this when it aired. Thank you pukenshette!

that's catherine o'hara,not andrea martin. good show and chris is great on it.
His wigs. LMAOOOO!!!
My dad used to come down from upstairs and yell at us for laughing so hard when watching this show.
The Meryl Streep of Letterman. Nobody close.

That's gold, Jerry! Gold!
"Baking oranges". Classic Chris!
great performers
Underrated
Genius!
Didnt he get an Oscar for Cabin Boy?
Yes, in fact, it won Best Movie. How soon we forget.
lol
Unfortunately, no. The Academy is a fickle mistress; she often forgets her children born of January.
@@joeyoung1498 Classic
"Can you give me the name of the guy who helped you?" :)
"Uhh, no"
"Please!?"
Man, I wish I could grow a head of hair like Chris's!
it was purchased
"Baking oranges." Brilliant.
"Please, do pardon my digressions" 😂
I've seen this guy in Everybody Loves Raymond and King of Queens, I didn't know he went this far back or about his talkshow stuff.
He was also in a short-lived series called Tattinger's (sp) - the show was about a restaurant and Chris took people's orders using an earpiece/headset kind of thing. That's what I remember most about the show... Plus he had a guest appearance in one of those Law and Order shows.
My favorite book is "Daddy's Boy" written with his father.
I still have my copy. that book was great. Loved the photos inside too.
Dave & WWP had access to the best entertainers from around the World , but the best talent they ever had on was Chris Elliot.
For a guy that was discovered by Dave during some kind of tour with his mother i think of one of the studios? Chris has done really well. He's not a leading man but can act in other areas quite well.
His dad was Bob Elliot, from Bob and Ray. His mother was a television director.
Ha Ha. Try again.
What happened to quality / late night comedy talk shows? Asking for a friend...2021....
Wow, Chris' armpit hair transplant has really taken off!
He plays Don Johnson but Paul plays him one with "Secret Agent Man." Pat McGoohan would have been tough one to copy.
Why cant the current late night "shows" do good comedy like this?
That hair !!!!
lol, that could have really been a tv show. I would have watched it.
that wig
I could grow that much hair but could never get it to stand up like that!
I remember him on Letterman in the 80's. I think Dave insulted him a lot as part of the show.
Dave insulted everyone
The guy under the stairs brought me here.
I loved Chris Elliot in Home Alone
wtf are you talking about?
@@jackskywalker5235 what you never loved chris elliot when you were, you know ... home alone ?
What's up w/ the Johnny Quest hair? LMAO

I've been looking for this too! This was legendary.
Here it is! Got it by special request. Good times. th-cam.com/video/govUD5KuL48/w-d-xo.html
Cabin Boy was one of my favorite movies, but my mom hated this guy and wouldn't let me watch it.
Florida has the best baking oranges
dave "and a.... ... did you bring a clip?"
chris "a clip, no i don't think so, they just kind of shoved me out here..."
"i don't think we have a clip, we do have a clip? i guess we do have a clip..."
That’s a BIG turkey.
Baking oranges 🍊 😂
Hanson the Caretaker, the early years.
I never realized he was lead singer of the Stray Cats
Still remember Dave's first show with Bill Murray stoned out of his mind. After Johnny Carson Dave was the man.
If that's the same show I'm thinking of, Dave was _not_ pleased. No more "Mr. Nice Guy", the veneer of congeniality with the crew he likes to project was totally gone, and despite Dave's best efforts to pass it off and appear jovial, the hard ass _Mister_ Letterman was quite apparent.
Sometime before Letterman's arrival on set, it seems that regular guy Murray had gotten a genuine, somewhat loose, party atmosphere going with the the crew (the _very thought_ sincerely treating the "help" as equals) and Massa *did not* like it one little bit.
I'd be willing to bet good money there were firings, at least of some of those not well protected by a union.
gotta love the buvet of hair,if only it was real for chriss
-Chris Elliot, folks.
them kicks g
Who is the blonde lady beside the door
Fancy Lad
What episode is that?
Dat hair....
I don't know what the hell it is but I'll lick it anyway XD
The "doctor" that helped Letterman with his erection problem was just padding you on the back Chris.
