    I'm glad he said that he regretted it. I felt the same at the time. It was kind of like shooting a puppy as Steve Martin never seemed egotistical or full of himself to deserve being taken down.

      Exactly. SM realised that he would be expected to do the same act every time if he just continued doing stand up. He made a conscious decision to get away from the pure nonsense he was so famous for. He was and is amazing though. His physical comedy is unparalleled.

    I like both Paul Kaye and Steve Martin. That joke was cutting coz there was an element of truth to it. Hence why it clearly hurt Steve Martin. He may have lost his funniness as he got older but he was so prolific as a young comic that it was bound to happen. A true comedy legend.

    Steve Martin is one of the funniest guys who ever lived but his prime was in the 70's and 80's and " How come you're not funny anymore?" is kind of a legit question from a 'comic' persona such as Dennis Pennis.
    I'm sure Paul Kaye has the upmost respect and admiration for Steve Martin but a little thing in the back of his mind must have said "Hmmm,Steve Martin isn't as funny as he was in the 70/80's is he."
    I'm going to take him to task on this if I meet him whilst I'm playing the character Dennis Pennis.

      Yes, you're right, although he wasn't a copy, according to Kaye. I'd not heard of Stuttering John, so looked him up and found this interview with Paul Kaye -
      In 1995, the same year Kaye was filming Pennis for The Sunday Show, Caroline Aherne was doing The Mrs Merton Show. “We were coming from a very similar direction I think. She did it brilliantly. I remember thinking at the time that what I was doing was quite Dame Edna, that was sort of the reference I had in my head. The production company on The Sunday Show were really into Howard Sterne and there was a guy called Stuttering John who did it on radio, and it’s a similar sort of thing. There was something in the air at that time.”

      I hate it when some celebrities try to justify everything with how rich they are. It's embarrassing and just shows a lack of class.
      He did the right thing by just walking away and giving him as little content for his show as possible,

      Steve Martin is a classic comic.
      Not as edgy as you need to be today, but even Eddie and Rich Pryor seem tame by today’s “shock” standards.
      Still one of the greats though.

    Pretty obnoxious interviewer. People who are correctly citing that Martin wasn't funny as Clouseau (I honestly couldn't understand why he even wanted to it while bringing NO new ideas to it) are forgetting that after the first two Clouseaus, Sellers wasn't funny either. It was the least funny stuff he ever did.
