I bought a banjo once, learned a few tunes, all because of Steve Martin. No joke, lol.

Great comedian.

Bookmarked - DH will want to see this when he gets home. Steve Martin’s biggest fan lives here. Martin is funny, in person and many of his movies. All Of Me was enjoyed immensely. The Jerk - not so much. King Tut....

The more you learn about Steve Martin, the more there is to like. He’s incredibly smart and a world class banjo player, and obviously, funny as hell!

He probably made a face saying “thank you” like the one he used in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels when Michael Caine gave him permission to relieve himself at table. Very funny man.

Thanks for posting this. Genius as a stand-up and genius for getting out with grace and style.

“I’m here tonight because they promised me ‘a little bit of this’” he said rubbing his fingers together.

pause

“Maybe I should have asked for money instead of ‘a little bit of this’.”

Saw him perform in the Richfield Coliseum in the late 70”s. Came out in his signature white suit with arrow through his head and banjo. I LMAO.

I know that I’m in the minority here, but he just isn’t funny. I have seen several of his movies, and his stand up act. He just corny, and not in a good way. Obviously, most people disagree since he’s been pretty successful in his career, but I don’t get the admiration. Please don’t hate on me too much! :)
