Back in 86 I remember being miffed when, after all the endless promos, poor Chris would get bumped by some stupid interruption. So good - I miss the early days of Dave.
Thanks for posting this! I hadn't watched Letterman in a while, and I tuned in one night right as Chris was hanging on wires, with a fire extinguisher providing fake jet-pack exhaust, and Peter Allen comes walking on, leaving Chris hanging there. Never knew there was a whole backstory I'd missed!
35 years later and actors still unironically say "I dont know what the clip is they just threw me out here". Chris Elliott was poking fun at how they say that way back when.
I was always too busy Tom catting around as a lad to watch t.v. so I missed all this hilarity.Thanks for posting these gems.Chris Elliott is a national treasure
Great collection! Just an idea to make your descriptions a bit better. You can add time stamps to each promo. Just a simple "1:23" becomes clickable for most users.
"Sources from within the State Department, the Pentagon, and the Franklin Mint confirm that everything is pretty much the way it was before." 🤔😆🤣😂😆🤣😂😅💀💀💀💀
You know, and I don't want to make a whole big thing about it or anything, but Chris "Genioplasty" Elliott was a Fabulous Performer and the Raw Guts of the David Letterman Hour. Now I may be mistaken, but I don't believe that I am, Chris is the son of Bill Elliott, the 1983 NASCAR Sprint Car Champion. Some say that Bill cheated to win, or was a big Crybaby, but I think that it's best to reserve judgement until all the facts are in.
