I could listen to him 24/7.

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."

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.

How one can be so funny and witty

He so cute, amazing , sweet, smart, funny, wise, beautiful man. Thank you Steve

2:20 I think that maybe one of the few times I've seen Lorne laugh out loud.

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 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.

Why the hell Steve Martin's wife looks like Tina Fey?

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!

He's gotten 43 of them? 😋

Interesting that he omitted Tina Fey from his speech. Maybe he didn't too much like the joke about his wife?

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.
