Steve Martin was on Late Night yesterday to promote his album with Paul Simon’s wife Edie Brickell and the Wild and Crazy Guy made such a grand entrance! So grand that Fallon did to Martin what Jimmy Kimmel does to Matt Damon every night and ran out of time. In fact it reminded me of when Damon was on Kimmel’s show for the first time and the ABC host read off all of Damon’s movies instead of interviewing him. And Martin’s 2 and a half minute stroll into the studio reminded me of when Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert made a triumphant walk down to Kimmel when they were on his show in Brooklyn.
I am not saying the soon-to-be-Tonight Show host copied his future competitor, just saying I see there are some resemblances to what he did.
Now when it comes to Steve Martin, it is such a feel good entrance that I just had to share it with you! Seriously didn’t it put a smile on your face? And didn’t you love the surprise cameo in the bit?
Steve Martin has been on The Late Show more times than we can count, but tonight he tried to get out of his appearance. Instead of calling it in before the show started taping, he tried to do it after he sat down on the couch. He apologized to David Letterman that he was unable to be on the show because he was in Europe. Then he got up and walked out, but one of the staffers from the CBS show stopped him and he miraculously made it back from overseas before you could say that he is a wild and crazy guy.
Steve Martin was on The Late Show yesterday to promote the DVD release of Steve Martin: The Television Stuff. The collection has some of his best moments of being on television for the last 40 years. Since he is a favorite on the CBS late night talk show, the Wild and Crazy Guy decided to share one of his most favorite appearances on the show. I know David Letterman thought it was stupid, but I thought it was brilliant. So watch it to see why I love it and gap-toothed didn’t!
A few months ago someone suggested to David Letterman that he open a park outside his The Late Show studios in Manhattan, so he did. Well Steve Martin thought it was such a good idea, he opened up a park and let me tell you it has all the fringe benefits of Central Park but in one condensed area. Seriously I can’t wait to get back to NY just so I could go to park and see his grass that will leave you as high as a kite without actually flying one.
Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson were on Ellen DeGeneres today to promote their movie The Big Year and Nacho Libre left the taping all wet. Black was the member of the crew that was asked to be in the Breast Cancer Awareness Month Dunk Tank and his two co-stars were the ones that had to make him go down. While Owen played the game correctly Steve Martin, had his own ideas and I wonder what that says about how he feels about Black???
BTW from behind I can’t tell Ellen and Owen apart because they have the same hair!
