	Boilerplate meets Chris Elliott
		Elliott finds himself in a comic nightmare, bending over backward to avoid being accused of a comedian's cardinal sin - lifting someone else's joke - and agreeing to a financial settlement with the robot's creator to head off potential litigation.

		Elliott, who is scheduled to give a reading tonight at 7 at the Barnes and Noble at 4 Astor Place in Manhattan, said in an interview that he knew Boilerplate was some kind of a spoof.

	Chris Elliott
		Elliott developed a succession of memorable characters such as the Regulator Guy, the Conspiracy Guy and the Guy Under the Seats, where Elliott literally would crawl out from under the floorboards and heckle Letterman.
		Because of his exposure on the late-night talk show, Elliott was given a small role in Michael Mann's 1986 movie "Manhunter," as well as a guest shot on "Miami Vice." But he said he has no great desire to parlay his talents to the big screen.
		Elliott, who writes most of his material with longtime partner Matt Wickline, said one good thing about having popularity on the Letterman show is, now he's primarily responsible just for writing his own skits.

	Chris Elliott \| The A.V. Club
		Veteran comedian Chris Elliott has had small turns in big comedies like There's Something About Mary and Groundhog Day, but he's best known for Get A Life and Cabin Boy—two projects that landed with resounding thuds when they were released, but have since won a cult following.
		Soon, Elliott got the opportunity to be even weirder (and in prime time) when he and fellow Letterman writer Adam Resnick created Get A Life, a TV series about a 30-year-old paperboy.
		He could have been a lawyer as far as I was concerned, because his humor is sort of the buttoned-down, Bob Newhart sort of dry wit.

	PreViewed DVD - DVD Review - Get a Life Vol. 1
		Get a Life, the Chris Elliott vehicle that appeared on Fox for a few years in the early nineties, may not be considered a classic by a lot of people, but for those of us who "get" Chris Elliott, it was a joy to watch.
		His mother (Elinor Donahue) and his father (Elliott's real-life father, comedian Bob Elliott) put up with him and his antics, often to their detriment.
		I would have enjoyed hearing commentaries from Chris Elliott and Brian Doyle-Murray, even if they were just goofing around and not paying much attention to what's on the screen.
