To have this footage in 2022 is pretty awesome and good quality!

The precise moment that I knew that Letterman was my guy. Steve was already known as a comic genius, and this begins 35 years of Dave and Steve talk show killers.

I love when Steve falls back asleep mid interview.

Thanks to The Donz for preserving this clip. Still funny after all these years.

Agreed. He's done a great service for us Letterman fans.

Damn this is a funny bit, I think Steve and Dave are going places some day

I was home sick from school or something and I remember seeing this as a kid! It was absolutely next level and I was hooked on Letterman from then on.

Steve Martin is a national treasure.

Steve Martin is one of my favorite actors!

Me too, it's amazing when you look at his career of 50 + Years. He has reinvented himself many times and has been successful in TV, film, music, and stand up comedy.

I'm so glad to see all this stuff from the morning show! Until now, it was all just a legend.

@@chiefscheider You are correct! I don't know how I missed such an important word.

The one from the show where where Steve was sick and does entire show from Dave’s office and turns it into a party is great…Steve wrote about going on Letterman in his book….about how he always wanted to bring big funny. Late night isn’t like that now…though this clip is from the morning show.

The Morning Show. I remember watching it while on summer vacation in 1980. Good times!

That reminds me of a recurring dream I have where I'm doing things out in public, but I'm laying in my bed half asleep while I do them. And nobody notices, like it's totally normal.

These two were hilarious. I saw more vintage Dave in this clip than in some of the early Late Night shows. This show was ahead of its time. And they did it live! I missed this episode when it aired because I had started college classes by then. I'm sorry they cancelled this show. But in a way I'm happy they did: moving Dave to Late Night gave me a chance to see an even better show when I got back from my part-time job at 12:30.

I remember this episode, but only in audio form. I was a teenager and a big fan of both Steve and Letterman's morning show, but I was in high school, and I couldn't be there to see this episode. I had my mom tape the episode on a cassette recorder, so I could listen to it when I got home. VCRs weren't really a thing yet in 1980, unless you were rich and had like $2000 to drop on one, so I had the audio tape only.

Great stuff. I miss the 70s and 80s.

This is the greatest bit of all time

It's too bad Steve and Harrison Ford didn't make a movie together in the 80s. They woulda been great as brothers.

Wow, what a great idea.

I remember the morning show, it was actually fun...

Steve is a pro - maintained that lethargy/drunk thru the whole segment, most guys would have dropped it once they got to talking.

I just listened to Steve's Book "Born Standing Up". It was very interesting listening to him share his journey to becoming a Stand-up Superstar in the late 70's and why he walked away to never do stand up again.

Lol!!! Two ALL TIME favorites!!!

Legendary!

This is a mood

love dave and steve

To think a few years later, he'd play Neil Page chewing out Dell Griffith for beer in bed.

Steve Martin was a good looking guy

Nice looking set!

Steve Martin was probably one of the funniest guy in Hollywood in the 80's. His facial expression alone was pretty good. To me he was Jim Carrey predecessor.

Highlight of my childhood was Steve's "Comedy Is Not Pretty" tv special. Very hard to find now. Cannot believe what passes for comedy today. When Dave Chapelle and Amy Schumer are considered "funny", you know we live in Bizarro World.

Chapelle was once great, but has really bottomed out. Amy Schumer is one of the best comics around. (And both Steve and Dave love her.)

This was so loose and great. 40 years ahead of its time.

tv..worth seeing

I feel Steve's pain...

Was this the Steve Martin special that had a skit featuring Okra-Cola?

lol

He commits to a bit as well as anyone out there!

Dang he looks a lot like Kurt Cobain.

Interesting to compare this bit to Andy Kaufman which it reminds me of.. Steve is funny.. but you know 100% the full time it's a bit. With Andy you never totally knew.. and Andy never wanted you to know.

What? This is the morning show. But wasn’t that taped in L.A.? I’m confused. Meat?

Indeed, this is actually painful to sit through. It's like a parallel world of anti-comedy.

This is not in the slightest bit funny. He doesn't say anything funny, nothing funny happens, it's just bland and moronic. And not in some meta way, it's just boring. Basically it's like Jerry Seinfelds standup.
