The Chris Elliot Jr. Show

One (Juan?) could fill a book with the great Chris Elliot moments on Late Night and Late Show with David Letterman.  A few of my inexplicable favorites are below.  Note that Elliot started as an intern on the show and quickly became the panicky “Guy Under the Seats,” among many other oddities.  Eventually, he left to create “Get a Life.”  Seeing these, I wish he’d returned to Letterman full-time.

On several occasions in the late 1980s, Elliot parodied the idiotic “Morton Downey Jr. Show” with “The Chris Elliot Jr. Show.”  Here’s three occasions…

-Topic: Ice-Cream Flavors
-Topic: Women in Construction
-Topic: Convenience Stores

My favorite parts are his attempts to bring Dave into the show.  Two other Elliot quickies… Chris as Marlon Brando; on this occasion, note that Dave had just finished interviewing a very drunk Oliver Reed.



"Better put a leash on it!!!!!"

And here's Chris as consumer advocate.
