On television, Elliot replaced Jay Jackson as host of the nighttime version of the popular quiz show, "Tic-Tac-Dough" for the remainder of the show's nighttime run (1957–59). He was a host on other game shows, including "Beat the Clock" and "Win with a Winner". Elliot was also asked to host what would later become the Ed Sullivan Show.

Win Elliot anchored "Sports Central USA" on the CBS Radio Network.
