ReplyLove these interviews and the podcast but, hmmmm maybe think about changing camera placement ,,, angles are confusing.
ReplyYou said Mary Lincoln could be pushy😂😂
Reply“I was the control group.” 😂
ReplyI love all these guys but this has no energy. Compared to Matthew Rhys.
ReplyI was in high school early seventies the first time I saw Steve Martin do standup on Carson. I had never seen anything like him, he was doing this absurdist, non-sequitur style humor that I loved and was totally unique. Anyway, one of the ‘jokes” he told was “I like to give my cat a bath, but the hair gets all over my tongue”. Then, he puts his famous arrow through his head, pulls his mouth wide open and before he starts jumping up and down, blurts out “here’s something you don’t often see!”. Well then, there you go, a birth of a legend. And I have an inkling that “cat” joke might have been the reason that old lady he met said “yuk”.
ReplyHelp a dog out! Steve has a piece of paper in front of him with very little writing on it. I don’t read human paw prints. What does it say? Is it a reminder to raise his hand to get a turn to speak? 😂
ReplyI must say (nod to Ed Grimley), that I fell in love with Steve Martin’s zany (see Happy feet) early comedy and then over the years read his books and watched as his movies evolved and now I am in awe of his acerbic wit and perfect timing.
ReplyIt is simply unparalleled in show business.
I was also reminded, while watching this clip that I should never be drinking coffee while watching Steve tell a story.
Glad I was around for Mr Carson’s heyday in the 70s and 80s. Still miss him.
ReplySteve Martin will never not be one of the funniest men on earth. After he dies, I bet he even smells funny!
Replylove it..post some more clips
ReplyA mega standup comedy show with these 3 plus Dana carvey and Kevin Nealon would be hysterical
ReplyHi Conan!
