If you didn't live through the 1970's it's hard to imagine how popular Steve Martin was.
I can't count how many times I've watched All of Me. His physical comedy was inspiring. And I've been able to spell "Albuquerque" since I was young thanks to Roxanne.
i was in high school..all us nerds knew every one of his album routines verbatim. they were funny then, but havent aged well.
@@douglaslowe5 How would you say they haven't aged well? I don't necessarily disagree, but how would you articulate it?
He was a Jerk.
Soooo true
5:33
No cgi, no safety gear, no wires.
Live tv no delay.
Bill could have tripped, set himself, Steve, the audience on fire.
I miss this world.
Yeah, I was shocked when he did it. I thought it was going to be part of the bit that he would NOT jump through a ring of fire.
Me too, the ANALOG WORLD. Technology will destroy us .
Andy Warhol said it's better to look old when you're young. Then when you're old people will say you look great.
Great, But what does that have to do with this monolouge?
It would be hilarious if he dyed his hair when he got older. Then he'd really mindfuck everyone lol
@@Drew__Films I don't think he's done that for any projects. That would completely blow my mind. He should do one as a ginge. That'd be incredible
@@fordsgirl8096 I once met a guy who cracked his head pretty good when he was a young kid. Where he hit his head the hair grew white, while the rest of his hair was chestnut brown. Pretty strange huh?
Bill was the first ever new cast member. The new kid on the block. Everyone got to pick on him
Bill was an SCTV alum, like Ackroyd, Belushi and Radner.
Steve Martin and Bill Murray are hilarious
Steve Martin is one of the funniest comedians ever. My mother and I went to see him live, in-person here in Utah. I can't remember what year, but somewhere between the late 70s and early 80s.
The 1970's SNL was the absolute, best cast ever! Steve Martin is one of my favorite Comedians!
What blows my mind is that Steve Martin was never actually a cast member at SNL. It sure seemed like it with the amount of sketches he was in, but he was only a special guest/host.
I suppose it was the combination of sketch comedy being in its infancy back then, so there weren't a lot of guest hosts to call up who SNL or themselves felt confident in their ability to do comedy, and also that Steve Martin was so damn good that his sketches stand out above nearly every other guest host during that era of SNL that these are almost all we see nowadays so it's easy to assume he was a regular castmember.
SNL has sucked for the last 20 years.
@@johngullo9420 wow so original. I liked the 2000-2013 SNL
The 90’s were pretty good too
@@johngullo9420 totally disagree. Kate Mckinnon is best cast member ever. SNL was always hit and miss..it's never been more consistently funny than right now. (I do think it's become overly political though).
This monologue was on an SNL compilation tape that came out in the 90's at some point, and I watched it (and I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say this) ALL THE TIME. I am so glad to be able to see it again. Love Bill, love Steve, and I still say things like, "But never at dusk..." every once in a while just to see who notices.
Bill Murray looks so much younger.. Steve Martin looks the same
sunnylilme -
Yeah, it’s amazing how in 1977, we all looked younger. I looked like I was 11! Crazy.
@@wildwoodandonyx is it just me, or does Steve Martin look EXACTLY the same age then and now?
Ya think?
Maybe later well go through baby pictures and comment on their rolls of fat too?
I think it's the hair.
My brother-in-law has the same white hair since he was a child. It's caused by a vitamin deficiency. No biggie, but we all perceive white hair as only something old people have. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@tyro244
Neighbor growing up had grey/white hair at 13.
One kid in my class had such white hair it glowed in the dark on a trip to the aquarium.
To see these two geniuses back when they were young...I remember them & still love them today!
Steve Martin is undoubtedly the best guest on SNL
Love the old bits he did, like - let's get small, the 'I forgot', cat handcuffs, happy feet, arrow through the head, etc
Here It is in the early, late, mid morning and I’m smoking marijuana watching ancient SNL clips in early, late, mid 2020
Ok but never at dusk!!
A portrait of the future
It’s 8:30. smoking a doobie....still 2020..mornings.....best time
@@marthawerbiansky3353 still 2021
Funnier now, huh?!
Saw this and just had to watch!! My mom had his comedy album on 8-track, A Wild and Crazy Guy, and we always listened to it on the way to Charleston. Loved it when he hosted SNL.
When you can rock silver hair at a fairly young age than most young people can do with blue hair, then you know you're gonna be legendary
One of my big turn ons is a handsome face with premature gray hair. Steve Martin is the greatest.
"this changes things for me financially."
I remember seeing this live. Steve Martin is a genius ❤. I was 12 lol
got a lot of mileage out of that suit back then
Cotton-Polyester blends seemed to be popular that decade
ultrakool oh yeah!!!!!
I see this and think of Fantasy Island and Ricardo Montalban, every time.
I'd wear this suit
It was brilliant branding.
If you saw him once you instantly knew it was Steve if you saw him again on tv.
Steve only owned one suit back then.
He had to pour all his money into crackers.
Little did we know the whole time Steve was rewarding Bill with a placebo, the gateway drug to self destruction.
The Cad. How could he be so cruel.
No dummy, he's feeding him treats, like trained dog.
@@everready19373 thanks Captain Obvious
Well, you didn't think those were just *regular* crackers, did you? They're laced with sugar!
@@everready19373
"...he's feeding him treats, like a trained... DOG" 🤣🙃😂🙃🤣😎😁😎😁
Funny... I thought Murray was mimicking A SEAL -- The placebo joke is way above your 6yr old pay grade 🤔
This was 42 years ago, but Steve has aged about 5.
I was waiting for Bill to say, “Steve, these placebo pills have got me high as a kite I could swear that hoop is on fire.”
Did not think he was going to go through the hoop.
That would’ve been Golden
IKR!
It's jarring to see this after forty years and to remember seeing this sketch in context.
I was born in 83,so I'm not sure what context that is?
Bill was still 14 years away from Groundhog greatness.
Gary Stump Sr but meatballs was way better than Groundhog Day.
Steve is one of a kind ! What a legend.
And he is still going strong today.
The Only murders in the building show is in an another class than most , if not all other tv shows today.
1974?
Steve Martin must be a
Space Alien that lives for
Over 200 years.
200? more like 2,000.
This is season 4. From November, 1979. Not 1974.
@@hectorheathcote9495 1979. I know the marijuana bit comes straight from one of Steve's albums. My guess is Wild and Crazy Guy, his second, but it could be from Comedy Is Not Pretty, the third album.
SNL didn’t even start until 1975, so yes, obviously 1979 not 1974, since there was no SNL yet.
Well.... maybe.... so is Keith Richards, except Steven Martin looks *great*. (Keith looks like he's.... hanging on.)
Bill Murray started the mullet!!!
I'd pay a lot for that clamp... I adore Steve Martin! My uncle is 18 years older than me, so I became a huge Steve fan at 2 years old. "King Tut" was one of the first songs I knew. Love his banjo work also, he is very talented!
2of the best then &now
My daughter who is 20 always has loved Steve Martin. She never saw this skit. When she was 11 I embarrassed her at a hardware store when I walked around with a clamp on my head until we checked out. Years later she saw it and finally got it.
I remember this,I was 22 years old...damn, it still cracks me up!
was that a pun? if it was good job mate
This is when SNL monologues were good. Steve Martin was and is a genius when it comes to comedy.
Yes but his biggest downside is, um, he was, he, nevermind.
instablaster
The cocaine was pretty good. Thanks Chevy.
@@pplrstrange he was what?
@@jeneraljax29 exactly. You got it.
I just finished steve’s martin‘s autobiography book about stand-up comedy and I have to say is one of the best books I’ve ever read about mastering a craft
What’s the name of the book? I’m interested in reading it
@@Cosmocarreon3045 born standing up
@@zaidilyas6663 thank you
I remember watching this the night it originally aired.
was it funny way back then?
Me Also
Same! Yes, it was hilarious. But of course we were smoking in the late early afternoon morning evening.
Me too! Every show was golden back then. And then on Monday at school we would talk about and go over every sketch.
@@paullawrence9056 that’s so cool!! I sometimes feel like I’m one of the only people my age that watches SNL (I’m 16) and every time I talk about it with people at school, some of them don’t even know what it is! 😟 I wish SNL was still in it’s prime, so people my age would still probably watch it, and I could talk about it with my friends at school
I'm so glad I got to see Steve Martin in person in 1978 in Chicago. What a great show; a number of audience members wore the 'arrow thru the head' prop Steve used. He took time for some serious banjo playing, too.
Was that show at the Arie Crown theater at McCormick Place? If so, I was there, too. John Sebastian was the opening act.
@@tomryan4968 Yes! That was the show. Small world.
The old 6B studio where Dave Letterman had his show for years.... and in the back I can see Paul Shafer.... And of course Bill was the first guest on that show..... Steve was the best, funny as can be... Get him with Bill and it is a comedy dream team...
Was Steve Martin born with silver hair?
Jürgen Sven Fuchs
almost.
He got it young. That's why he doesn't seem to age.
Somewhere there’s an old clip of Steve Martin as a contestant on “The Dating Game” pre-white hair.
He doesn't have silver hair in Little Shop of Horrors. It was jarring to see him without it.
@@millennialsdelight I know. He was so young then.
Oh man this brings back an old bad placebo trip i had
Two great actors and comedians.
They both were handsomer than I remember from back then... and younger!
Not quite what I was expecting from the description “cracker monologue “. But it’ll do.
One of the best monologues with two people in that I ever saw..
Him describing his weed smoking is me af 🤣💨🔥
I kinda like it better like this. It was more personal like a live comedy show.
2 of my 3 favorite comedians of all-time...the 3rd being Robin Williams.
Still, one of top-25 openers in SNL history.
Two of the best OG actors of all time😆😆😆
Ah the good old days of great comedy
For our “May Day” routine in 6th grade we did the King Tut song and dance. We spent late 70’s imitating Steve Martin. We were all just wild and crazy guys.
I wish all my friends were this well trained!
I remember watching live. Funny then, still hilarious now! 🤣🤣🤣
It was never live.
That was brilliant. I wish I had been old enough to see this when it came out!
WOW 1979 SNL in Its Original hey-day
Bill alone is the whole Monty Python and more, even when silent:-)
The two guys Frank Oz seems to love putting in his movies
I watched this with Dad at age 11 and it was the best. I didn’t understand some of the material, but Dad sure did.
Great times.
This is the kind of bold experiment which ws somewhat common back then. Ernie Kovacs and Steve Allen were even more outre :)
Love these guys!!
Where French Stewart really got his "Harry" face: 1:44
Bill Murray looks like he could have played David Banner or Michael Knight in this
This before Caddy Shack and Ghost Busters. Bill's career skyrocket after this year.
Both such talented comedians
Where were you in 1979?
I missed most of these shows.
I had a life.
Now I'm watching what I missed. I didn't think I would get to this age.
I didn't plan for it.
I was too busy
As I practiced, I realized I could do more than I possibly imagined (9/8/79)
Funnnnnny, clean humor... Could not have a "Cracker skit these days lol
Bill Murray was really cute back then.
* Lotusblume * still is
Linda Clark ehhhhhhhh
Damn steve , you one of the old school puppets...😅😅
Only occasionally mid, late afternoon. Never at dusk.
I remember watching that episode when it was live.
Can anyone hook me up with some placebos? I'll pay top dollar.
You never hear these two guys ever talk about each other, I can't find anything.
they're briefly in Little Shop of Horrors together, but that's it
This is 40 years ago. Not many things to watch on tv. Only about 5 stations to pick from. Joe Franklin was the only thing on after 12.
The Movie Loft
I remember watching this episode
Musical guest Van Morrison.
Let that sink in for a minute.
Yeah, that's how ground breaking this show was
Can't fault you on that. We did have to learn to appreciate Buck Henry. Our reward was Andy Kaufman. (Plus, we never had to listen to Kanye West, and that made our adolescent years absolutely golden.)
Also, George Carlin and Bowie were always worth the wait. We knew how to be patient. We didn't enjoy it any more than you do, but the payoff was a lot better.
Here's an example. This is what was expected out of George Carlin on the Smothers Brothers: ruclips.net/video/6xjvmYVGBYc/видео.html
And this is how he was allowed to expand later on SNL: ruclips.net/video/5ebyLkCaAL0/видео.html
Before cable was widely available, this made a big difference. It was engaging to see someone who might get bleeped or amusingly misunderstood by our parents, instead of having to sit through someone like Bob Hope...and most of the musical guests like Devo and Gary Numan were more interesting than getting the warmed-over Patti Page we could expect elsewhere.
Jesus, just writing this has reminded me of how dim variety shows used to be. God bless SNL; they raised the bar, and now nobody has to sit through the DeFranco family singers or a bunch of sad vaudevillian clowns on unicycles unless they decide to go slumming on RUclips.
I was 10 years old and a major fan ( I even understood most of the jokes ) and he played for a week at the Garden States Arts Center of August 1979 .... Anyone else ?
Why is nobody talking about how great Steve and Bill were in this? Two of the most underrated comedians of all time. That part where Steve was giving Bill the crackers and then Bill jumped through the ring of fire and didn't get a cracker. omg I'm dead. I can't believe nobody laughed at that.
Believe. It was a stupid show. All of it. I'm surprised it hasn't been cancelled.
@@johngalush8790 You voted for Trump, didn't you?
@@ontheruntonowhere No. I didn't. Steve Martin was not funny.
@@johngalush8790 I dunno. I think he was.
As a kid I got my taste of True Humer from this Wonderful man
Steve, one of the greatest!
When Steve Martin starts joking about how he smokes pot... like never at dusk, sometimes late afternoon,. Always at night and what not... that's how I am with my weed.. that dialogue really stood the test of time!
Good ole Steve!!! Ha, I have 2 of those vice clamps - they're my improve 'vice' to hold things on a steel apt. deck railing I use for projects 😆
I get such a Lemony Snicket vibe from him (Steve)
He's the "Head of Vice Control!"
Well excuuuuseee meeee
This made my day
ah the good ole days!
It’s not a monologue with two people.
45 years late, but ... thumbs up!
Holy crap . . . NBC allowed that ring of fire on stage (?)
Legends
Murray actually jumps through a flaming hoop on live TV here. They had real balls back then.
I don't think he actually did.
@@eternalextrapolations - It looked real. Explain the trick please?
@@CARTOONIVERSE1 Well I think it's just a simple case of forced perspective. You see they change to a different camera before his jump. Between the two camera angles, they stop filming, turn the hoop anticlockwise so it's really no longer facing Bill, but at an offset angle. His jump then is behind the hoop. If you look at the flames, they are in front of him around the entirety of the hoop.
@@eternalextrapolations Still looks real to me.
Does anyone remember when he hosted & put a plate of tuna down his pants? Then he put 2 kittens down his pants!
Reject modern SNL, embrace tradition
Loved it when Steve Martin was a great comedian. No idea why he thought being just another actor was more 'respectable' or something. There are 1000's of great actors, there are very few great comedians.
He's more into his (banjo) music now. ruclips.net/video/ZyHipL45pwM/видео.html
Steve had way more success in movies than being a standup. Not sure why you're surprised. Most comedians springboard into acting anyway. Or at least try.
Watch comedians in cars getting coffee, he explains his reasons. Cliffs: Seinfeld and Steve reminisce about his stand-up from his 'Wild Crazy Guy' days which people loved, so Seinfeld asks why he didn't do more comedy like that since it was so successful and Steve Martin replies "Because it took me 10 years to get THAT material!!" 😅
He tours with Martin Short. Very funny show.
He explains why in his book, Born Standing Up.
I've watched this no less than 10 times and I'm still not clear if he really jumped through that fire or not.
Well, of course he did. His back foot kind of dragged through it. He is lucky that didn't knock it over in his direction.
I went back to look again, because it appeared that the circle of fire turned sideways, so he was running past it, not jumping through it. If you stop the video at 5:36, you can see that's the case, though Idk how they moved it. You know he's not going through it because, if he were, his body would block part of the flaming circle as he passes in front of it. He is behind it the whole time. The only way that's possible is that the flaming circle is parallel to him.
Kim N you are CORRECT!!!!! FINALLY MAKES SENSE. I always knew (or strongly suspected at least), that something was up. There had to be some camera trickery going on because the entire bit is filmed straight on. They only move to a 2/3 angle so that one shot. The only possible reason is because there's some kind of camera trick happening. Your theory makes perfect sense.
He did jump through. If you pause it you can see that his upper body is blocking the flames while his feet are behind. Only way that happens is if he's going through the hoop. Plus this show is aired live. They don't stop.
this beats ANY SNL opening monologue after 2020...all the music stars, celebrities today have not even quarter of the talent of 70-2000s
Steve Martin was very popular,he was everywhere.
Friend of mine inherited his brother’s copy of Wild and Crazy Guy on vinyl & it had a signed picture in it of Steve, big goofy smile, that said “Best fishes, Steve Martin!”. You had to look at it for a few secs before you saw he had a fish sticking out of his coat.
That suit is Clean as FUCK tho
SNL, November 4, 1977 New York City, Host, Steve Martin.
Never again will SNL be this funny
Steve + Three Amigos/The Jerk/ Planes Trains and Automobiles/SNL/ and throw Pink Panther in there = Living Legend and can be compatible/ compared to any Comedy of any Time... "Clean Comedian" that seems to be able to appeal to any generation and people of any origin.
I agree. I also love Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
Nice mullet Bill lol
