Bob and Ray were an American comedy duo whose career spanned five decades, composed of comedians Bob Elliott (1923–2016[1]) and Ray Goulding (1922–1990). The duo's format was typically to satirize the medium in which they were performing, such as conducting radio or television interviews, with off-the-wall dialogue presented in a generally deadpan style as though it were a serious broadcast.
