One of the requirements of being an actor is that you have to do press to promote your latest project. For Steve Martin that meant that he had to do The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon to promote his Broadway musical Bright Star, even though he didn’t want to. So he sang about not wanting to do it, and it is his best musical performance since Dentist from Little Shop of Horrors almost 30 years ago.
Seriously, this song and dance number was so spectacular, it is one of my Top 10 late night bits ever. Sit back and enjoy it because I know you will.
