Bob Elliott During a SNL Sketch in NYC, in 1975.Owen Franken—Corbis by [Lindsay Kimble / People](https://time.com/author/people/) ## Lindsay Kimble / People Feb 3, 2016 9:02 PM UTC Bob Elliott, one half of the longtime [radio and comedy television](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktYwuw9Mnjo) duo Bob and Ray, has died, his son, actor [Chris Elliot](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:ChrisElliott,00.html), told [_The New York Times_](http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/04/arts/television/bob-elliott-of-bob-and-ray-comedy-fame-dies-at-92.html?smid=tw-nytimesarts&smtyp=cur&%5Fr=3) on Wednesday. He was 92. Bob, who died at his home in Cundy’s Harbor, Maine, started working with Ray Goulding on a local Boston radio station before transitioning to NBC radio, and, ultimately, to television from 1951-53. The star often played straight man to Goulding’s more boisterous characters, and the pair took the act everywhere from _The Tonight Show_ to _The Ed Sullivan Show_ and, eventually, Broadway. After Goulding’s death in 1990, Bob continued on the airwaves, becoming a cast member of the _American Radio Company of the Air_. In his later life, Bob appeared alongside Chris (as his father, appropriately) in the latter’s Fox series _Get a Life_ and feature film _Cabin Boy_. Bob, is survived by five children, 11 grandchildren – including Chris’ daughters, _Saturday Night Live_ alum [Abby](http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20262837,00.html) and Bridey Elliot – and five great-grandchildren, according to the _Times_. Chris and Abby, who share the distinction of being _SNL_‘s first-ever double generation of cast members, [told PEOPLE](http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20264240,00.html) back in 2009 that the comedy gene runs in the family. “She had such a presence, and I remember thinking, ‘Oh my God. You’re going to be a star,’ ” Chris said of discovering her daughter’s talent at only 13\. “But we pushed her. I wanted you to follow in my footsteps. It was all planned before you were born. I just thought you were going to be a boy.” At the time, Bob marveled at his brood of stars: “Three generations,” he told PEOPLE. “We’re thrilled.” _This_ [_article_](http://www.people.com/article/comedian-bob-elliott-dies) _originally appeared on People.com_ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4206835/bob-elliott-death/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4206835/bob-elliott-death/"},"headline":"Comedian Bob Elliott Dies at 92","datePublished":"2016-02-03T21:02:03.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T14:44:22.528Z","description":"He was known for his role in Bob and Ray","url":"https://time.com/4206835/bob-elliott-death/","keywords":["remembrance","Television","SNL"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltcb578e29fa1c73bb/69887c08f887dc0454e94720/bob-elliott.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Lindsay Kimble / People"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltcb578e29fa1c73bb/69887c08f887dc0454e94720/bob-elliott.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Bob Elliott During Saturday Night Live Sketch","caption":"Bob Elliott During Saturday Night Live Sketch","creditText":"Owen Franken—Corbis","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/remembrance/","name":"remembrance"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4206835/bob-elliott-death/","name":"Comedian Bob Elliott Dies at 92"}}]}] ```
