  • Not much of a collection; Chris did Jack only two times, both of which have been previously uploaded by others:
    1. May 20, 1986. With his assistant "Tanya" (Chris MacLeod).
    2. August 12, 1986. With his assistant "Butch" (Matt Wickline) and Animal Achievement Awards, where Chris transforms himself from Jack to Marv Albert.

    What made all the Elliott bits so great, is that you never knew what character he'd be doing from one appearance to the next. These "Jack Hanna" bits are intermixed in 1986 with his "Marv Albert" bits, the "Regulator Guy", Gerry Mulligan's son "Kevin", and probably some others. This gave the show an element of randomness that made you want to tune in every night back then.

      Early to mid Letterman was must see tv for me. Chris, Larry Bud, Dave’s ‘running out of the studio to handle some bidness’ bits, lots of stuff I’m forgetting probably.

      Dave was a big fan of Chris, which is why he appeared so often on the show. He had been a writer on the show from 1982-1988 (he apparently wrote some stuff for a couple of episodes in 1980 as well) Remember Cabin Boy? Dave made one of his rare movie cameos as Earl Hofert, the "Old Salt" of the fishing village.
      I've always been a fan of Chris. I actually met him at a Taco Bell in Norwalk, CT back in 2006 or 2007. Nice guy.

Yes, he had the failed sitcom, and the movie, and other stuff in recent years, and I"m sure he was trying to move on and establish himself and do new stuff, but he always seemed to be Dave's fave, and they were a great team. There isn't an issue of a falling out, because of course Chris still did very sporadic appearances until the end.
