By request: Chris Elliott's impersonation of Paul.
Paul Shaffer interview in Vulture, February 2022:
Q: You’ve been impersonated on SNL over the years: Gary Kroeger, Mark McKinney, Chris Kattan. Anyone get you especially right or wrong?
Paul: All of them capture elements of my bizarre character that I try to do. But there’s nothing like when Chris Elliott tried to do it on Letterman. He nailed me.

Chris Elliott is one of the rare examples of being a child of a famous entertainment industry parent and actually having talent equal to or greater. Many today don't know about his father Bob Elliott who was half of the comedy team "Bob and Ray" (with Ray Goulding). They were extremely hilarious and clever with all sorts of droll humor. I think some of the droll and deadpan humor was imparted to Chris Elliott.

I met Paul in a book store a few years ago and had a 90 minute conversation with him. It was during the writers’ strike and he was browsing the magazine rack as a customer. Just a pleasant, low-key, decent guy... no trace of that “cool hipster” vibe he conveys on the show. He wanted to know all about my amateur music career. We talked about Christmas (my holiday) and Hanukkah (his) and upon parting I jokingly wished him a very Merry Christmas, and he wished me a Happy Hanukkah. He is a real down to earth, polite and friendly guy.

I hear this a lot. And maybe it's because I didn't start watching Letterman until 1995, but I loved his CBS era. From 1995 to his heart surgery, and then towards the last several years again, he could sit at his desk and tell a story for 10 minutes, and I'd be enraptured and in stitches. He never really did that on NBC did he?

@sdm12342002 7 жыл бұрын

I think more towards the end, Adam. He would do things like ask Paul what he was doing over the weekend and Paul would tell him and then Dave would say "I'm going to fry up some bacon and watch televised golf." That sort of off-the-wall/out of left field stuff would crack me (and my mother, who also loved Dave's NBC days) up. He was a big influence on me...and not always a good influence.

This was THE best time to stay up until, well, midnight, if you were in certain places, IDK when, if you lived on the coast... I remember, back in high school, friends talking about these Chris Elliott skits, when he'd pop out on to the set as "Marlon Brando", of course, the funny part of it is, the real Brando would never have been so wacky. But that's wherein the humor lies. Ha ha....now I want to go try & find a bunch of the older Letterman shows when Larry "Bud" Melman used to show up from time to time (that wasn't his real name, either, which, in itself, was funny)!

I remember. Also the song "Stand" by R.E.M.

I downloaded the entire series last year and rewatched, still hilarious.

Watched every episode twice - when it was on TV and then recently on KZfaq.

Brilliant bit. Just perfect old time late night letterman genius as I remembered it in the old days.

The band must have died laughing during this bit ... This actually shows how good the band is; they manage to follow Eliot's random conducting motions 4:46 ...
