Is an American comedian, formerly one-half of the comedy duo of Bob and Ray. Elliott was born in Boston, Massachusetts. He is the father of comedian/actor Chris Elliott.In 1989, Elliott co-authored his son's mock-autobiography, Daddy's Boy: A Son's Shocking Account of Life with a Famous Father. The junior Elliott satirized celebrity tell-all biographies by writing completely fictional and highly-sensationalized tales of his childhood as the son of a famous comedian. The conceit of the book is that the publisher's attorneys had insisted that Chris allow his father to write every other chapter of the book, so that Bob could rebut any "factual errors" Chris might have made in the preceding chapter. In his first "rebuttal" chapter, Bob professes not to have understood anything Chris wrote; he proceeds to use this and all subsequent chapters to talk about the summer he's having at his vacation cottage in Maine instead, employing the familiar Bob and Ray style of dry wit.
