I would love to hear Marc ask Chris about his great role on Schitt's Creek as well. I am glad that David Letterman has opened up his vault and is putting so much of his old stuff on RU-vid. I didn't get into Dave til the late 80s and missed a lot of Chris Elliot's brilliant stuff like "the guy under the stage" and other recurring roles. Chris is a comedy legend and his daughter Abby is pretty funny too.
This is from 2014. Always loved Chris Elliott. I always felt he was just below professional and amateurish which was part of his charm in a way. However whatever he did worked and his character acting was brilliant. Some of the funniest tv I've ever seen.
Didn't know his father was part of a comedy duo. In retrospect, especially in those early Letterman appearances, you can tell that comedy is in his DNA
*Eastside Low Bottoms shit !* I remember watching and liking Get A Life. I don't recall much but off the top of my head, i always remember him either being hit by a car or being repeatedly ran over by one. But what was so funny (to me) about it was it was obviously a dummy. Still memorable tho. The days of Get A Life and Parker Lewis Can't Lose...
I grew up watching my dad's vhs recordings of Get a Life, really fueled me. The Tim Burton film Cabin Boy has always been one of my favorites. It's an acquired taste but one that's worth it.
That's it. That's why Louie had to come down. He's the biggest representative of comedy today for the public, comedy being one of the last bastions of free thought and speech. Insidious.
