In September, 1958, Elliot replaced Jay Jackson as host of the TV version of the formerly popular quiz show Tic-Tac-Dough for the last 13 weeks of its nighttime run.
The program was taken off the air amid fallout from the quiz show scandals that had rocked the industry earlier in the year.
[citation needed] In the mid-1960s, Elliot was the lead voice on "Schaefer Circle of Sports" broadcasts of Rangers and Knicks games, track and field and other events related to Madison Square Garden on WPIX TV and later WOR TV.
[3] All the while, Elliot broadcast horse racing events and conducted one of the early call-in sports radio talk shows on WCBS-AM in New York.
[citation needed] Elliot then started anchoring Sports Central USA for CBS Radio, which he continued to do into the early 1980s.
