00:00 And if you bought my album and you came down here expecting me to do a lot of routines from the record and I didn't do them, well, excuse me!
00:11 This guy was getting people so happy.
00:15 I always thought, this just does not happen. And it did.
00:20 He's the most idolized comedian ever.
00:24 He reinvented stand-up.
00:27 It was a cultural phenomenon.
00:30 Good evening and welcome, my name is Steve Martin.
00:32 Steve Martin!
00:33 I am a wild and brave!
00:37 What he was doing was unique, it was chancy.
00:41 I always thought of him as the door out of the 60s.
00:45 You could be silly again.
00:47 All comedy was political. And I felt that it was time to change that.
00:52 Steve Martin has just taken the big leap onto the big screen.
00:56 I was launched into the stratosphere.
00:59 I was scared out of my mind.
01:04 You better pull yourself together, you've got a big movie offer!
01:09 Being able to witness an artist reinvent himself is quite extraordinary.
01:16 The people who like it are wise and intelligent people and the people who don't like it are ignorant scum.
01:23 You like the good one?
01:26 There is a longing at the center of everybody he shows us.
01:34 I'm glad you're not filming this because it would be so embarrassing.
01:41 Why don't I interview you as we're driving?
01:45 It's called Viking, but sure.
01:47 My whole life is backwards.
01:49 I go from riddled with anxiety in my 30s to 75 and really happy.
01:54 How did this happen?
01:56 Don't you have a score of servants take your laundry over?
02:00 Actually I'm just doing this for camera, it's the first time in 27 years.
02:03 Cut!
02:05 The End
02:08 Thank you for watching!
