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.

Steve Martin and Martin Short are touring the country together and yesterday they brought out a surprise guest in San Antonio. That person is the recently retired David Letterman. The former late night host admitted he was enjoying his new employment status until Donald Trump announced that he was running for President. So how is he going to let the world know how he feels? He joined two old friends on stage and read a Top Ten about it that will have you laughing so hard, you wish he could get his old show back! Can he?
Even before Conan O’Brien was hosting Late Night on NBC, his predecessor David Letterman has been doing a Top Ten list. Well one of The Late Show’s biggest guests, Steve Martin, did a bit with Conan O’Brien on his TBS show and it seems to be a lot like something the Wild and Crazy Guy would be doing on the CBS late night show. That bit was a Top Ten list and you want to watch it all the way through because you will be laughing harder than you have during one of those other Top Ten lists in a really long time. I am not knocking Dave, I just loved the interaction between Conan and Martin.
Steve Martin has always been a slender guy and now he is revealing how he does it. It’s a work out that is so simple that anyone can do, even you! So watch the sneak peek he shared on The Late Show with David Letterman and don’t tell me that you won’t be adding this to your exercise routine.
