Welcome to the Letterman UA-cam Channel, home to all your favorite clips from Late Night and Late Show - as well as conversations with the writers, producers and performers who helped make it all happen. And for those of you who like Miscellaneous, you may very well find some Miscellaneous here.
Chris Elliott is a comic genius and an American treasure.
Damn right.
His dad used to have a HILARIOUS dry humor comedy routine.
Agreed. Just imagine if he'd stayed longer with Dave, or even for most of the run.
Him and Gerard Mulligan were such a funny duo on Letterman
Pretty much the only funny part of Scary Movie 2. 😂
@@profoundwanderer1441 I haven't seen that and didn't know that Chris is in it. Definitely will have to check it out.
My 16yr old self would stay up to watch Letterman all of the time, late night television now is unwatchable.
Jimmy Kimmel is great
That impersonation is spot on. The little things...the hands, the smile, the way he walks and turns around, the posture, the self-dismissive comments....it was just amazing.
I'm really hoping that with all the Chris Elliott bits being posted that we finally get his staff favorite moments
Fun fact: When Paul returns at the end, you can see him subtly giving the finger.
Thank you!
@@weldongrisham9463 Yup. Index finger is straight also.
Nah
The universal sign of unappreciation? :p
Hard negative on that.
Remember watching this as a young person, and completely on the floor, couldn't get my breath. pure gold.
Part of the era when every damn night the show was in its wheelhouse.
Now there is Jimmy Kimmel and Fallon. Quite a drop. No wonder nobody cared when the writers were on strike.
@@davidziemann9653 I wish I could articulate without sounding like a dumb guy how LNwDL was a talk show but not ever “Genre: Talk Show.” It was Fernwood 2 Night masquerading as, I dunno, Johnny or Merv. And when it came to musical guests you would never see the likes of Tiny Tim.
@@davidziemann9653 Kimmel makes me laugh. Consistently the best monologue of the remaining hosts. Fallon is “Barney for adults.”
@@davidziemann9653 ouch
Chris Elliott has always been a stone cold comedy killer.
my all time favorite Elliott routine was the guy under the stairs.
My god... I can't tell if that is Paul or not Paul or an amazing reproduction!.
Who was that guy trying to imitate Paul Shaffer at the end?
I didn't see Chris in this sketch - maybe they uploaded the wrong one? Paul changed his shirt for some reason, which was funny
Chris Elliott is hilarious in pretty much everything. Just saw him in a rerun of Everybody Loves Raymond (which was produced by Letterman's company), where he plays the weird brother-in-law Peter. Very funny
The genius of Chris is the ability to make people cringe, he’s a master in his craft 😂
Yes, but this was not a cringe performance. This was a master class on impressions, and he was SPOT on.
Do u have the Drew Barrymore birthday gesture from a front angle?😉
I need the “Marv Albert” skit where he gifted Dave the chocolate football helmet, idk if I’ve ever seen Dave laugh harder.
I hear the full Chris as Marv compilation is on another channel.
Bite me.
You don't see it onscreen, but Dave's reaction to Chris' "Long Hot Summer" trailer is pretty good.
This was the screen door episode! I remember this. The quirky thing I loved about Letterman was the weird stuff he used to do. He was watching some home improvement show and was amazed on how simple it was to make screen doors, so he had the guy from the show come on and they made screen doors! I also loved this segment. He does a perfect Paul Schaefer😂
It's the thumbs up with the OK!
…the universal sign of appreciation in Vegas
@@TiltBrookThat’s all it is… The thumbs up with the OK 👍 👌
It's just the thumbs up and the ok. That's all it is.
Nice to see Paul's twin brother Chris standing in for Paul.
Didnt Chris live under Dave's stage for a few weeks?
Paul Shafer...excellent musician! Played with MANY musicians.
Source?
3:20 Hulk Hogan reference, and 3:59 Andre The Giant reference… This episode was 3/25/87… Four days before WrestleMania III 3/29/87
Wow! Chris really did an excellent Paul Shaffer impression. Wow!
I like Will Sasso's Paul Shaffer impression, too.
I like Will Sasso's Paul Shaffer impression, too.
@@djm5687 Okay. Let's stick to the topic. Didn't you like Chris Elliott's performance?
@@djm5687 Okay. Let's stick to the topic. Didn't you like Chris Elliott's performance?
Chris does his voice perfectly I couldn’t tell it was the real Paul until I saw him talking
The crowd didn’t understand it he’s doing Paul exactly awkward saying useless comments
I loved Get A Life. Great sitcom in the early 90s with Chris Elliott. Unfortunately it only lasted 2 seasons.
If you are a real Chris Elliott fan, you must have seen Cabin Boy!!! Haha
@@milart12 yes!!! And i also loved him on The King of Queens. He played 2 different characters on TKOQ and both were awesome.
Chris Elliott was awesome
Will Sasso does a pretty good Paul Shaffer, too.
One of my all time favorite bits!
Perfect, Chris. I loved this show so much when it was on. And still do now, thanks to UA-cam.
I love when Dave can barely contain himself. This is a pure delight. Also shout out to Ahmad (not shown)!
Please bring back some 'Don't call me chief' games, please. Those were great and include Rupert! There's a great one with a teenager whose parents are in the show.
Does all this chris elliot content mean we’re getting a staff favorite moments from him soon?
Hmmm..
Chris Elliott is more Paul Shaffer than Paul Shaffer.
This might be the funniest thing I've seen Chris Elliot do🤣😅🤣😅
One of the best ever talk shows.
*The* best
@@MattTee1975 true.
I wonder how many of those laughs were from the set crew. I bet they were crying!
Wow okay, so Mark Mckinney was actually doing an impression of Chris Elliott doing an impression of Paul Shaffer! 🤯
Chris Elliott doesn't get enough recognition, in my opinion. His daughter, Abby, is talented too.
LMFAO as soon as I put this on the imitation was nailed, thats really good hahaaa
Chris Elliot is the premier satirist of his time!
The best part is watching how funny Dave thinks it is.
This IS the BEST Fan Request EVER
I give this video a thumbs up and an okay.
I find Chris's conspiracy guy character still relevant in this day and age
Chris nailed it!
Chris steps on Dave's 'Small Town News' punchlines perfectly.
Miss this kind of genius humor each night. There is nothing like it on the air these days!
amazing to see Hulk Hogan playing Chris Elliott playing Paul Shaffer
I’m going to start doing that “thumbs up with the OK” thing.
When Paul came back, I thought it was still Chris.
More Chris please!!
the impression is dead on lol 🤣
Small town news, to the tune of Uptown Girl, lol. Chris is so funny.
Can’t believe this channel wasn’t sued for music copyright over that. 😢
This just made me realize that Paul Shafer probably has ADHD.
Nailed it
That’s hilarious. What a talent he is and what good times we had.
So funny!
This is great.
How come this guy wasnt around inkater years? Also he wasnt on the last show
Fallout from the failure of Cabin Boy?
The attention to detail is off the charts for this skit. Chris knocked it out of the park with this impression of Paul.
------------------ thanks4sharing.....close enough to count ....Chris earned his keep .....plus Paul was mellow , as usual... about it ....where did dancing girls go....
HI-LARIOUS, Chris's own show was great , with the opening theme song being "Georgy Girl" ,...
So dead on.
Chris Elliott was the best act on the Letterman Show.! The producers should have included him more regularly.
"These pipes...are CLEAN!!!"
And how!
PERFECT
green onions i dont like them when they are yellow 00:22
I was looking away at the end and thought I was still listening to Chris. Hilarious imitation.
It was great to see Paul Shaffer in _The Abyss,_ even though it was a small role!
Finally - you posted it!!!!
I grew up on Chris Elliot with Get A Life 🤘🏾😎 Alt Comics
Chris was great! Paul was done by Chris?😂
5:11 That's what she said.
I`m literally peeing my pants 🤣
what is the screen door reference that Letterman refers to?
It was the PBS show 'This Old House' guy making it from scratch. He was canned from that show, too many outside endorsement$ deals! Bob Vila on WIKI
My god... I can't tell if that is Paul or not Paul or an amazing reproduction!.
Im dying here 😂
Ahh Ahhh Ahhhhhh 😂😂
gotta love Chris
Damn the robots don’t like Chris
Really !;! Really !;!
Banana Dance
GENIUS!
Brilliant 😂
👍👌
the good times of our lives. thank you guys.
Ooops....sorry, cheap phone
BANANAS!
This is so spot on lol.
Lmao @ random laugh!
😂😂😂hilarious
RIP
My god... I can't tell if that is Paul or not Paul or an amazing reproduction!.
👍👌
ha! hahaha!!!
Memories from my junior high and high school days. Loved Letterman and his humor. Chris Elliot was gold. Back when this world made sense.
Did you know your goldfish is Trans?
Super mean spirited actually.
Awkward there at the end.
I'm pretty positive that was the point.
