Well pops, kids of today wouldnt know what a coal chute in the house is either. Or rotary dial phone, or TG&Y stores, or Bicentennial tyco locomotives... WTF is that got to do with anything?
They continue count change out if the register doesn't tell em Example total is 1.56 you give them 11 bucks They ring the register and then hand them 6 cents and they're simple lost .... Isn't Education is great in America
In his book, Steve mentions this as an example of one of his lesser routines. He was just beginning to make attention for his stand-up and this was one of his early appearances on Carson. After starting strong, his follow-up spots got, by his own words, less funny. He would be demoted to only appearing with guest hosts for a time before Carson agreed to have him back on with him, and his return appearance with Carson was the one that really broke him through with the mainstream.
He was awesome doing King Tut on Saturday Night Live ...remember those days were the best.. Saturday Night Live isn't funny anymore First we loose Johnny Carson Then somewhere along the line Saturday Night Live DIED I haven't watched in so many years sad, very sad to loose the best comedians of our time in the real world
@@vika0194 ya he always had an old face when he was young. and his premature grey hair always made him look old. I think he said it went all grey when he was 30
Steve Martin with (sort of) dark hair. What a treat! Also, if you didn’t find it “funny” - you didn’t really get the point. In this phase of his career, he was often doing a meta-act that was a send-up of traditional comedy.
I loved Steve’s old school slapstick comedy back when comedy was safe and free for every comedian to write and deliver jokes without having the fear of being cancelled by the woke mob!
If I could make a request (this video was great, btw): Alden Whitman was the New York Times obituary writer in the 60 to the 70’s. He was featured in a February 1966 Esquire article called ‘Mr. Bad News’ by Gay Talese. It was mentioned in a recent article that Alden Whitman appeared on the Johnny Carson show, so would love to see Johnnys interview with such an interesting man. I’d guess the interview was the late 60’s or early 70’s?
That’s because Steve’s material was more of a postmodernist meta-act - you weren’t supposed to find it funny in the same way as with other comics. It was more in the Andy Kaufman vein.
That ended abruptly. I do hope he survived to go home and see his newborn son, but if he survives and continues to fight on the eastern front,…Then his beliefs in the German general staff, the German army and Hitler are going to destroy along with his bigotry, ignorance and total under estimation of the Russian army. I hope he learns and that he doesn’t teach his son the same arrogance, bigotry and hatred .
Not very many comedians can say that they made it through 5+ decades!
Thanks! Never saw this one before. 😂 He’s so adorable and, of course, a genius.
LMAO. Kids today wouldn't know what a telephone or phone book is either.
Or time. If you tell a kid that it’s a quarter to nine, they will look at you like you have three heads. lol
@@joebiggs4387 LOL give them a wind up watch with hands like I wear and watch the fun ensue

@@hwoods01 I dunno, perhaps because it was important to the bit, maybe?

Sometimes I miss those old rotary phones. 😊
#5XB was the best. And interops 'what nuhmba ya callin ?'
He was 28 here. In 4 more years he'd be the biggest comedian/star in the world!
He was awesome doing King Tut on Saturday Night Live ...remember those days were the best..
Saturday Night Live isn't funny anymore
First we loose Johnny Carson

He looks 40. Then looked the same forever.

I like that when you take the mustache off Groucho glasses, they just become Steve Martin glasses.
Brilliant.
DID HE JUST CHOKE THE CHICKEN ON THE JOHNNY CARSON SHOW? GOOD CLEAN FUN, NOBODY GETS HURT, UNLESS THEY'RE IN THE FRONT ROW WITHOUT A VISER😮
LOL 😆 🤣 😂 😹 THANKYOU 4SHARING!!!❤ MUCHLOVE Loves !!!❤ 🎊 🎉I Remember The Episode !!! LOL 😆 🤣 😂 😹 ❤❤❤
Saw raw yet so much obvious potential that blossomed soon after.
The "young man" Steve Martin. And I see this was 4 years before his smash album, Let's Get Small.
You know you're going to make when you're on carson
Going to make what, whoopy?
If you do well. Which Steve Martin did.
Only if your invited over to the chair
Getting laid back then was so much easier than today. For one thing, hiw you looked and your pocket book didn't matter nearly as much!
it’s the Pickwick man

Steve w brown hair!!😅
Can you post a clip when Steve hosted and Chevy Chase was a guest?
That's why Steve Martin's career would never amount to anything; the punchline to all his jokes began with 555.
Bro thinks he's Andy Kaufman

Seems weird to see him without white hair
When I was young but after Martin got grey I thougt that he was funny.Not since 2001.
Am I missing something or have times just changed so much that this is not funny at all..? And I like Steve Martin
That sucked real bad
First time to ever see Steve Martin unfunny.
I know, I know, different humor for different folks. But I never could get into Steve's schtick.
That’s because Steve’s material was more of a postmodernist meta-act - you weren’t supposed to find it funny in the same way as with other comics. It was more in the Andy Kaufman vein.
I like Steve Martin, but that was one of the dumbest, unfunny skits ever.
HE IS NO Robin Williams Steve Just bombed here.
I didn't laugh once and I really like Steve Martin.

I like Martin but on this occasion his act was cringe and really bombed for me.
He must be out of material. I could’ve read the phone book with a silly wig. He was better in the 70s.
