The Great Chris Elliott

You might know Chris Elliott from Adult Swim's Eagle Heart but before that he had a short lived sitcom on Fox called Get a Life! and before that he was known as the weird guy on Letterman. If you missed Conan last night then you missed the old school Chris Elliott. Well, that and the Mike Tyson interview which was a little weird. Chris was on the show to promote the new season of Eagle Heart which is produced by Conan O'Brien's production company. Instead of talking about his new show he went right back to the old days of doing outrageous shit. He was rambling about his life then said he needed a drink, pulled out a bottle of Jack Daniels BBQ sauce and slammed the whole thing but saved a little to share with Conan. So great!! It also got me thinking back to when he used to appear on Letterman as all kinds of weird guests, like the "guy under the seats" or as an olympic gymnast. My personal favorite though is when he came out as a scientist.....just watch the video. I don't want to ruin it. Check Chris Elliott on Conan last night at Team Coco and the video below is Elliott on Letterman back in 1989.
