"I don't deserve this award. but I have arthritis and I don't deserve that either. thank you very much" great closing lines!!
They used it in the irishman:)
Rick Dalton Jack Benny had some great lines. Inspired Steve Martin and Johnny Carson
An absolute legend. I watch this ATLEAST once a month.
Verb Satis Sabentibus…!!!
When he puts his flat hands on that podium, it gets me every time. It's like he is so comfortable to speaking in front of many other people (something not new to him or us) even in all his happiness and still tears up the room with his shower of comedy magic. Exactly the same as when he got his Governors' Award.
Here's a few tips for making a great speech:
Allow enough time.
Begin writing. Put down anything - it's better than empty space!
Ask for assistance from friends. You do not need to do it by alone
take advantage of ready made speech outlines.
Try it out with a few people and ask for their opinions.
+Zlatan Mustacevic Nice advice. No doubt he follows all those tips.
Steve Martin is my all time favorite comedy actor in movies or whatever he does, I adore him!
Sgt bilko and the 3 amigos were my two favourite ls growing up
Steve is one o the best joke tellers that I ever seen. Iconic.
The whole speech is just a mastepiece
But Marty's being Steve's biggest fan and Steve referring to Marty 7 times in 4 minutes just sends me, god I love their friendship😁😁
Love the friendship between Steve and Marty! True friendship love❤️💖❤️💖
I could listen to him 24/7.
What legends Carl Reiner , Mel Brooks 🥰
Whoever did not get to see Steve Martin live at the pinnacle of his stand up career missed the greatest comedian in history. If the standard is how hard an audience ever laughed during a stand up performance. (His movies don't come anywhere close to his stand up at his peak when it was new to the world) I've never witnessed anything like it. Everyone in the room was gasping for air from laughing so hard. He tapped the source of comedy. The god of comedy. Not one joke was told and people were dying from laughter.
You're so right. I remember a friend came back from the States in the early 80s with an LP of his performances and I couldn't stop listening to it. The line that still cracks me up: "That cat was the best fuck I ever had."
Greatest comedian in history?... Don Rickles, Robin Williams, Charlie Chaplin... need I say more? Duh.... 🤮🤮
@@chillkalang9025 ,there was also the great entertainer jerry lewis.
you can just look at his eyes ,and without him saying anything you smile!
please help i can't stop clicking Steve Martin's monologue videos... when you found me dead from starving with a laugh on my face please tell my family I love them 😢
This is one of the best RUclips quotes I've come across in years. Well done.
I think the comic genius bit went over a lot of people's heads in that room but that line was classic
+Reb Brown lol Did you see Conan's face when Steve gave that bit'? It went straight over his head and messed up his hair.
Looked more like Conan realized Steve was probably right.
It didn't make any sense. Would you care to explain?
@@tkjohn885 In the build up to the joke he lists a bunch of reasons why one might want to avoid going into the comedy business, and basically he's saying the smart people are the ones that avoid getting into comedy in the first place.
Martin got it.
Nice to see conan there
steve Martin is pure genius and class. Talent and class like this is rare.
Talent and class (two items) like this are* rare.
Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner - two comic geniuses!!
His timing is amazing. The biggest genius in comedy
I honestly think this is the best acceptance speech I have ever seen. At least once a year I find myself looking it up, it was so memorable.
It is wonderful. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend Steve Carell's acceptance speech at the Golden Globes (supposedly written by his wife)
James Cagney's speech was the best.
Love Steve Martin...he is a comic genius!
"Well a gift basket is a gift basket"
Didn't get it.
@@user-fu6ir6di1h Tickets were available for the event as an “Admission” ticket and a matching numbered “Gift basket “ ticket. Conan is getting Martin’s gift basket seat.
@@sage2556 Thanks
I liked the closing line 😍 he IS a comic genius!
Very deep person he is ... Great humorous sense ...love you Martin from Pakistan ...😊❤️💯✔️
The Lonely Guy, is one that many haven’t heard of, and many need to see it, it’s incredible.
He so cute, amazing , sweet, smart, funny, wise, beautiful man. Thank you Steve
Wow!
Neal Page, George Banks.
Steve Martin, such a great comedy actor!
I love u Steve ...
2:20 I think that maybe one of the few times I've seen Lorne laugh out loud.
An amazing actor!!
Definition of a comic genius? Steve Martin!
How one can be so funny and witty
AFI Achievement Award has become a good roasting show
Steve Martin........................all his life in Garden Grove, CA
That last one had me in tears 🤣
Loved the last line
A comic genius is self explanatory.
LEGEND.
All about the timing with Steve
Steve has been around me my entire life. Thank god I'm younger than him.
Legend
"Thanks for driving" LMAO!!
Steve Martin is just
If you are wondering about him thanking his wife, watch his Oscar speech
Mel Brooks is adorable!!!!
4:00 *Conan processing Steve's last joke/statement
The king
Steve Martin Level of Consciousness 481 #SteveMartin #AvatarConsciousness
Comedic genius.
Clever guy😀
steve martin
"What is a comedic genius?..." ... Ummm, he is standing to your right, Steve.
Mel Brooks is phenomenal, a legend!
Wow I didn't know that I was a comic genius
who's that guy in the audience with his mouth open behind Conan at 1:58? thought it was a cardboard cut-out at first.
Guess I'm a comic genius since I never went into comedy 😊
who is Blind Blake
American Film Institute will you posting Conan's speech???
Why the hell Steve Martin's wife looks like Tina Fey?
Why was Frank Gehry there lol?
I don't want to rain on everyone's parade here but although I like Steve Martin and always have his film catalog isn't deep enough to warrant his getting this award. There are several posts here pointing out his stand up comedy as the highlight of his career and if that's the case that would reinforce what I'm saying. If the AFI is finding worthy recipients of their Lifetime Award so scarce then stop giving it out for awhile until there is one.
Martin Short stop trolling Steve Martin.
LOL! Conan didn't get the comic genius joke. He was like 'What's that now?'
1:14 - the smile of the beautiful girl sitting behind the bald guy. Any idea who she is?
I noticed as well.
Just done a Wikipedia search
Steve Martin wins this award but
Quentin Tarantino or Oliver Stone have not
What the actual F U C K???
I thought Steve’s wife was Tina Fey this whole time 😭
I think Steve martins wife looks like Kristin Davis (sex in the city)
I see tina fey.
Am I crazy or is he (along with Diane) 70 here???
He's gotten 43 of them? 😋
Steve did say Chaplin and Keaton ( Buster) and he meant t those 2 and then it's really not definable ...
To him ! And so I certainly agree that there's not a comedic ,actor genius , even ant category ,genuis an only be ascribed _"I think Einstein is a genuis " is literally a. Opinion! " I think!" Like ,Mozart! Might and is. Is considerred a genuis! So by that ,guess what , ? Many are great few geniuses.... Like is Dylon ,"a genius writer to some "In Rock!?" So ,all Comics of all times rec ognize Chaplin as Genuis!!! As did Steve Martin saying ,"Except for Chaplin a nd Keaton!!!!! So genuis is a very very selective word ,a d should not be used for even some said Robin Williams ,smart ,very good but no not genuis! Period!
mr. punchline
The Godfather of irreverent comedy.
Funny
Apt
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Interesting that he omitted Tina Fey from his speech. Maybe he didn't too much like the joke about his wife?
The separate octagon puzzlingly afford because waste evocatively relax by a hushed zephyr. measly, devilish stone
Hey, comedy isn't pretty
Some people are so funny its ridiculous...and unfair !
Steve martin got an afi really? No robin Williams or Jerry Lewis but steve fucking martin?
I'm too young to find Steve Martin funny. He bores me to tears. Dad jokes are funnier. Best thing about him I liked was his opening for Tom Hanks' afi award.
+normalguycap You're missing out then...
yeah he's a genius! watch 'All of Me' 'The Man with Two Brains' 'The Jerk' 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels' :)
my nephew is 12 and he thinks hes extremly funny. i guess its not entirly about age but with whom you have watched all these "old" movies. half the new comics are selling old shit with glitter on it. but the youth enjoys it(i do too but i also laughed at the same shit 20 years ago^^)
He was good in little shop of horrors, too.
well, when you grow up, you’ll understand
Unpopular opinion alert: Good comedian - okay, but comic genius? He realy isn't.
There is a few comedians and a whole lot of actors who deserved this award before him.
