“But how did Tom come so far so quickly? Well, nepotism.”
The timing of that delivery should be studied in every acting class around the world. Absolute perfection.
2:32
Facts. The thing is, people who know him say that Steve Martin works SO hard to get better at his craft. He got this good... very much on purpose. You're right that it should be studied, but few will give it so many hours as it takes.
The way he said , "Well thank you but tonight is about him" was outstandingly funny. Hhahha
Pete Pan 0.
Pete Pan “
It wasn’t...he’s not a very funny person
@@user-hk7hz9cn7v holy shit dude. I made this comment 7 years ago and I have 1.2k likes? Had no idea! Thx for commenting hahah
@@Miguel_Molina 7 years later and he’s still not funny...
Tom Hanks received a life time achievement award at age 46. That's truly amazing!
midlife achievement award, ftfy.
A bit premature, like when Obama got the Nobel Peace prize.
It was bullshit. A lot of powerful people made that happen.
Most prizes are worthless now.
Considering Al Pacino didn't receive 1996
the timing of Steve Martin, is priceless
So true
I’m half black. From the waist down
“well thank you but tonight is really about him” the simplicity and timing of that line makes it funny! His comedic style is truly unique
Malcolm's face when the F word is uttered...haha...
He was thinking : Are we even allowed to say that amongst these people?
you mean Frankie....
Yimello Who?
TheGoldcountry Frankie Muniz
+Yimello who?
he meant malcolm lil nigga aint no spy
I love Steve Martin. He's one of the best comic actors.
sad he stopped doing comedy
yea your right
i still enjoy watching plane trains and automobiles ;)
+Averagebum Bum He's a lot more than that I think. He's a renaissance genius. He can sing he can dance he can act he can play the banjo. THE BANJO! I love this guy. He's the greatest.
I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this, but I return to it time and time again for its brilliance, the impeccable timing and delivery, and the genuine belly laughs of the assembled celebrities. Pure gold.
You'll also enjoy his tribute speech to Paul Simon.
Martin's improv timing is amazing, "well thank you but tonight is really about him."
Steve Martin got Steven Spielberg to smile, well done.

Guess who coming to dinner
Steve Martin’s writing and delivery in this tribute for Tom Hanks is, in my opinion, brilliant.
Masterclass in comic timing
I agree!!! The forrest gump thing was genious !
+Ben McGrath And writing...
Agree. He didn't saturate the whole speech with too many jokes. But every jokes are so brilliant timed and placed in the amusing context......"For those of you actor, who don't know what the word range means". That such sharp dig at the box office selling actors who can't act. And then Steve went ahead make a even sharper dig at himself; his acting range consist of estate lawyer and tax lawyer........🤣
Steve Martin literally teaches a Masterclass in comic timing
While we're on the subject, I still think Tom Hank's best performance was in The Money Pit
Steve Martin is just pure class. His book was excellent.
excuse me, could you tell me the name of his books?
@@luizrodrigues175 I only know about Shopgirl
@@luizrodrigues175 I’m sorry I never saw this reply! The title is “ Born standing up “
@@konkyolife thank you
@@luizrodrigues175 you’re gonna love it. Won’t ruin it for you, but wow, you’ll be surprised at just how hard he worked
Steve Martin is so unbelievably smooth in his delivery... brilliant opening! Two-thumbs up!
he's a genius...him ,robin williams ,martin short are da best.....
I do a lot of public speaking in my job and one of the best training tools I use is watching Steve Martin on various awards shows. His timing, humor and delivery are impeccable. He is slightly irreverent and sarcastic but never mean. If actors pay their agents 5% I should probably pay Steve 5% of my salary. After taxes, of course. 😆
His whole delivery was really funny.
The timing of his jokes! No one could do it better than Steve!!
That was the best placement of the word " MotherF**ker" in an award speech that I have ever heard. .... ( and great delivery....ah, Mr. Martin, time and time again, you keep showing us why so many millions love you )
Tom Hanks and Steve Martin doing a movie together. How has that not happened.
Also, Tom returned the favor this year (type Tom Hanks Honors Steve Martin) when Steve got his honorary Oscar.
Tom Hanks is the fucking man one of the best actors of all times
Couldn´t agree more!!
+Do M Rubbish
Do M Nope. De Niro the best ;)
@@elestireninsanylmaz9581 What about Al Pacino ?
@@elestireninsanylmaz9581 DeNiro plays himself in every role. 🤣
What a range Tom has, such a huge talent, WELL DONE SIR, WELL DONE!
+Kevin Russell why the fuck are you so aggressive? have you seen the roles he's played? Hanks has far more range than 90% of celebrity actors
+Kevin Russell K dude. I really don't care about your opinion considering how you replied to the initial dude's comment. You can fuck right off with your baseless anger.
Drixen oh i can can i?
Hi my name is Yes she was in Cast away. Bad luck for you. I wasnt molested till i was much older.
Kevin Russell damn you must have been one ugly child.
What a legend.
oh shit it's maxmoefoe hahahaha
***** Brilliant
maxmoefoe ya gay
me too t.hanks
Well thank you, but this video is about Steve Martin
Steve Martin is a freak of nature... amazing job on this gig
Some people are just naturally funny.. You can't train for that..
Man, both these guys are amazing. Tom is an amazing actor and not just a good guy for Hollywood but a good guy in general. Steve Martin is simply this generation's renaissance man extraordinaire. The guy can do everything. I would love to have dinner with these two guys.
Steve Martin is such an underrated legend.. how many can pull off saying MF and still get the whole house rolling in laughter..!!!
He's not underrated in any way. He's highly praised by his peers and the general public for his wide array of talents. Btw... "underrated" and "legend" are rather contradictory.
I watched this over 50 times as well as Steve's other stuff.
"this kids' good....i wish him luck".
kid's
You get an A for effort, though...
@60sisthashit Obviously, I care. You fuck off.
@@RaiceGeriko And in an instant...everyone finally knew who the grammar nazi was...on the Internet, all these years.... nice goin' uptight...
"I'd rather do it my way Mr. Spielberg." XD
Is there anyone, ANYONE, who can present like Steve Martin?? My goodness, I'm so lucky to have grown up during his time!
This guy is off the charts. How he wins the audience over in a matter of seconds is just incredible. This speech proves that humor is the biggest weapon to deal with just about anything. My hat off to Steve Martin!✌😃
Gotta love 'em both. Never get tired of seeing Martin do anything, though.
that's the truest thing I've ever seen on youtube
Steve Martin = Total Boss. Tom Hanks = Total Boss. Legends with well earned reputations.
YOU DA BOMB !! AIIGGGHHHTTT
Steve’s comic timing is unparalleled.
Wow. Never seen Steve Martin outside of movies and have just discovered how funny he is. His comedic timing is absolutely spot on
Was a writer for the Smother’s Brother’s show. Many comedy albums. Did all that before doing movies.
Steve never fails to leave a memorable impression. 😂
You're the best Steve Martin :)
that has to be one of the best opening speeches at an awards ceremony ever!!!!.....didnt have to rely on cheap gags, ill-mannered jokes which risk more than offending a few ppl present there and tabloid sentationalism/speculation......just pure classy comedy which had you in stitches.
thats comedic talent right there.....and tom hanks is a brilliant actor, he so deserved the lifetime achievement award!!!! xxxx :)
I have watched this like so many times. Just love Steve martin.
I remember watching this that night! Still one of the best tribute speeches ever.
That was a great speech. Tom Hanks is a great man. And he really does have range! He conquers the kid world with Toy Story and the dramatic world with Forrest Gump. I would love to meet him.
My first time seeing Tom Hanks was in Bosom Buddies!
Steve Martin an absolute legend.
This is Steve Martin at his brilliant best. He just knocks this dead to the delight of a who's who of Hollywood. What a great monologue!!!!!!! Made me laugh out loud!!
I’m proud of you
There should be a movie with Tom and Steve
That there Steve Martin is funny! He should be a comedian.
uhh he is...
and you Lynn
+Mag Ster He was being sarcastic.
+Mag Ster went right over your head didn't it?
rantanen1 I know right? It's definitely a joke that Steve Martin would say.
"There's no crying in baseball"- still one of my fav's.
Geez, there is some serious talent in that room. Spielberg, Hanks, Garry Marshall, Robert Zemekis, etc.
Steve Genius Martin.
Holy shit steve killed it.
The best introduction i have seen
Steve Martin = Genius.
I wish that there was a way to find these shows in their entirety
Same! Love AFI
"Thank you but tonight is really about him." Brilliant.
Steve Martin was bloody good!
Steve Martin, there's no one else who could of done this: So brilliant, ty SM, and for TH wow.. awesome ~
I love Tom Hanks mom's sense of humor and laugh
Now that’s a proper respect to your idol and a legend in your industry. Bravo Jamie!
him getting this so young speakes volumes!
I love this video and I show it to my advanced English students as a topic for discussion. Steve Martin is hilarious and Tom Hanks is brilliant
My boss is the splitting image of Steve Martin it's so cool he lets us call him Steve haha
Steve Martin is a genius in the leage of Robbin Williams.
league? Robin?
@@Berniewahlbrinck "Betty Davis is my faverite." Welcome to the internet.
I love the recognition on Dennis Miller’s face. He knew exactly where this going and was laughing already.
There is no one who can touch Steve Martin in this setting, the man is a comedic force of nature. (Now go watch his Paul Simon Kennedy Center opening).
2:26 "I'd rather do it my way, Mr. Spielberg" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
THE BEST opening to an AFI ever, soooo funny
Man these guys are just actors and they keep giving each other awards as if there's some kind of heroes
I freaking love Steve Martin. This man is brilliant!
i love steve martin. i have watched him all my life. its going to be real sad when he passes and there is no more of his genius.
"Thank you but tonight it is really about him" hahaha I over-love this man lol
I had ALL his comedy albums. back in the late 70's.
I like how he even had to laugh to himself, it was going so well. Such great skill.
Steve Martin's timing is superb !
Steve Martin’s films may not have performed nearly so well from the mid-to-late 90s onwards (although there were the occasional exceptions such as Bowfinger), but his gift of penning and delivering top quality comedic award show speeches has long been the gift that keeps on giving. Clearly stemming from his long-standing skills of writing and performing stand-up comedy, he’d be an obvious shoe-in for attending comedy roasts.
and i said to myself....only steve martin could get the most laughs of the night from his most heartfelt compliment.
I wish I knew Steve! He seems so fun
You know at 0.36 Tom Hanks is thinking, "OK Steve let me have it, let the jokes at my expense out" lol XD
tom was officially voted Hollywood's biggest box office star of the 1990s well done tom
This was a fantastic speech. Funny and to the point.
Love Stevie Martin!
Such grace, such class.
Steve Martin should have awards named after him.
Steve and Tom are amazing love their movies
12 years later a Tom delivers another stunning story in News of the World his acting can take you away for a few hours on journeys to other worlds and times
Steve Martin is undoubtedly a comedic genius. This is a prime example of "praising with faint damnation." It's a roast so brilliantly executed that people who do roasts (I'm looking at you, Lampanelli) could learn a lot from.
Steve Martin is a genius.
This was Steve at his stand-up best. totally brilliant and hilarious.
Im 12 months old and love Steve Martin
Steve Martin is always funny.
No one deserves this more than Tom Hanks! Prob my favorite actor!!!
Steve delivers the best speeches.
Love Steve Martin.
Natural comedian.
Love Steve Martin, and also Tom Hanks viva both of you
I want to watch the Steve Martin lifetime ceremony!
Steve Martin is one of the funniest comedians. Just great timing
He is THE MASTER of sheer awkwardness.
There are some people in that audience that take themselves waaaay too seriously. Martin is epic.
Coming here after the Podcast from Conan. Such delightful people!
You gotta love Steve, what a charismatic guy.
Steve Martin - a comic genius and a class act.
