He is the son of comedian Bob Elliot (one half of Radio/BobAndRay) and the father of SNL cast member Creator/AbbyElliott.

He is the son of comedian Bob Elliot (one half of Radio/BobAndRay) and the father of SNL cast member Creator/AbbyElliott, making Chris Elliot the only ''SNL'' cast member whose child is also a cast member and second member of the Elliott family to appear on ''SNL'' in some capacity (Bob Elliott cameoed on an episode during the 1970s, while Chris and Abby were cast members).

Unlike his daughter, Chris Elliott's time on ''SNL'' was not a happy one[[note]]though, to be fair, it wasn't for a lot of cast members during the show's 20th season. Janeane Garofalo quit mid-season because she felt the cast and writers were juvenile and homophobic while Michael [=McKean=], Ellen Cleghorne, Kevin Nealon, Laura Kightlinger, and the rest -- save for Adam Sandler, Creator/NormMacDonald, and Chris Farley -- were just sick of the grind of working on the show and the critics and viewers telling them they sucked and should be canceled[[/note]]. Elliott didn't have any recurring characters and only had three celebrity impressions: Anthony Edwards (as his character, Mark Greene, from the NBC medical drama ''E.R.''), Yassir Arafat, and Chris Berman.
