He’s so quick

"You said Mary Lincoln could be pushy!" Marty's put-downs are always so choice. "There's a difference between being excited to be on Johnny Carson...and to be slumming it." Ha!

Unbelievable that Steve Martin is 77 in this interview. He looks 20 years younger, and he's still so sharp.

Likely a combo of great genes and taking care of himself. I remember stories of Steve hanging out with the Laurel Canyon musicians of the late '60s-early '70s, and he was one of the few who did not take drugs.

@@makeadifference4all Yes, and as you said, Steve was always an intelligent guy. He grew up mainly in the '60s and rocketed to fame in the '70s when drugs and alcohol were everywhere. He was smart and disciplined enough to avoid those wasteful situations.

All three of these guys are at the pinnacle of pro comedy - so revered and yet so down to earth and humble at the same time, it's heart-warming to behold.

Stories with the names Johnny, Bette Davis, Peter Sellers, Neil Simon, Carl Reiner, John Mulaney, Bill Hader, Fred Armisen, not to mention these three national treasures. I could listen to them forever.

I was in high school early seventies the first time I saw Steve Martin do standup on Carson. I had never seen anything like him, he was doing this absurdist, non-sequitur style humor that I loved and was totally unique. Anyway, one of the 'jokes" he told was "I like to give my cat a bath, but the hair gets all over my tongue". Then, he puts his famous arrow through his head, pulls his mouth wide open and before he starts jumping up and down, blurts out "here's something you don't often see!". Well then, there you go, a birth of a legend. And I have an inkling that "cat" joke might have been the reason that old lady he met said "yuk".

Steve's comedy has been so expertly refined over the years and that's why he is still on top. He left the white suit and the arrow behind in the 80's and began making movies that were the top comedies (and even some dramas), now he is back on TV with "Only Murders...." and the best nightclub stage act since the Rat Pack, which he does with Marty. All through this time he has been a musician, an art collector and connoisseur, a writer, a playwright and basically the renaissance man of our time.

Never could have predicted way back then how successful and varied his career would be. I was just happy that here was this new, edgy standup comedian that wasn't doing warmed over borscht belt schtick or pained political satire. He ushered in the "modern" comedy that was adopted, transformed and curated by Letterman and is still in fashion today by disciples like Conan & Kimmel. I remember telling everybody I knew you gotta' see this Steven Martin guy before anybody had heard of him, so I'm going to take a little bit of credit!

They missed a joke there, "Turns out it was his mom...."

"I was the control group". Steve Martin doesn't have a lot of zingers, but when he hits it he nails it big. Funniest joke of the segment!

Wow, 2/3 of the Three Amigos and my favorite talk show host EVER!

I must say (nod to Ed Grimley), that I fell in love with Steve Martin's zany (see Happy feet) early comedy and then over the years read his books and watched as his movies evolved and now I am in awe of his acerbic wit and perfect timing. It is simply unparalleled in show business. I was also reminded, while watching this clip that I should never be drinking coffee while watching Steve tell a story.

Have much respect towards those three. Legends, hope they will leave a great legacy and teach the next generation!

“What if we all prayed right now?” That killed me

Glad I was around for Mr Carson's heyday in the 70s and 80s. Still miss him.

"i was the control group" hahahahah

It is rare to see Conan so in awe with his guests that he was unable to delve into his inexhaustible reservoir of ingenious quips.

A mega standup comedy show with these 3 plus Dana carvey and Kevin Nealon would be hysterical

wow....that last second throwing shade at Paulie Shore by Martin Short is brutal.

The depth of talent in that room. Incredible.

I've always said, Conan and Jerry Seinfeld are real students and historians of comedy, and someday, when people like Steve and Martin are gone, Conan will have all these remembrances and fountains of stories of the great comedians to pass on to the next generation.

​@@daveclark8337Conan didn't spend most of his time on basic cable. He spent 17 years hosting a talk show on NBC, and after the Leno debacle did 11 years on TBS. And if it wasn't for Jay, I guarantee we wouldn't have to suffer through Jimmy Fallon. I won't say Conan is as good as Carson, but it's comparing apples to oranges. The world changes, and though Johnny was a titan of late night, I personally appreciate Conan's sense of humor more, but that might be a result of being in Conan's target demographic my whole life. If the Internet didn't exists, Conan would still be on network TV, no doubt, because Letterman would have invited him to take over the Late Show after what happened with Leno.

See the old film "the Music Man" 1962 with Robert Preston.

I could listen to these guys talk and tell stories for a solid week.

This is my favorite comedy discussion ever.

Comedy legends all around.

So wonderful to watch these guys tell their stories.

"Pauly Shore fell out." (As the video segment ends and it was my favorite line of the whole interview)

One of my most favorite movies is "Mixed Nuts," starring STEVE MARTIN (soo good at soo much!!) & Juliette Lewis (she so hit the🎯 w/her character), Rita Wilson, Anthony LaPaglia, Madeline Kan, Garry Shandling, Steven Wright, Adam Sandler, Liev Schreiber (amazing job!), Robert Klein & more. It's a farce, but more than meets the eye. I think it was waaay ahead of its time; critics didn't grok it/appreciate all the creativity & artistry of writers, cast, crew & director; couldn't imagine there were lots of peeps who would love it (for the so many reasons as there are layers & facets to it, including the variety of humor mixed w/varieties of real-life angst & ambivalences, nefarious peeps, absurdities, surprises, a very rich farce that provides food for thought long after movie ends).

_I was the control group._ That is a very _smart_ funny thing to say on the spur of the moment. Steve Martin is a smart person.

Last minute Pauly Shore joke.

Conan killed 'em with "roll long credits." 😄

3:49 that was the difference between Norm Macdonald on Conan vs Norm on letterman. He behaved on letterman out of awe and respect, but played more with Conan.

Two❤ of The Three Amigos

Steve’s appearances on Carson are really funny. He had such a great rapport with Carson who really brought out the best in him.

This is gold!

Lol…Martin throws out the very last second diss of Paulie Shore.

Conan is so deferential to these guys. I think he was to his guests on television. Can’t remember. Would like to see him back again. Unfortunately, none of the networks have ever been strong on taking risks.

The timing of these guys is still amazing. Made me LOL a few times

Heart-warming stuff right here. 😘

I remember Marty's spit take and the line that induced it: ..."Uncle Tonoose is staying for the whole week"

3 funniest people chatting. Love this 😂

“I was the control group” Loooool

I pray for a world where these three all have their late night shows 😢 lasting a long time they are the legends still so hilarious

I think everyone in the room missed Steve's "but she _did_ kill" comment's meaning re: Bette Davis.

So damn funny and Conan is the greatest facilitator.

Conan knows the tonight show is a easy job

After the Jerk and his first SNL he was pretty much a household name.

Steve “I was the control group”

Very good 👍 👏 👌 😂😂

I deeply adore these three men. Their comedy has given me so much joy and continues

People didn't get Steve Martin's act at first. He didn't really tell jokes or do observational humor. He did bits, like the happy feet, the Groucho mask, the arrow through the head, playing the banjo .... off the wall stuff. He was much better suited for The Smothers Brothers or SNL than Carson.

Icons !

Hi Conan!

LEGONDARY comedy duo ❤❤❤😂😂

“I was the control group” 😂😂😂

Thank you so much for not having the annoying assistant lady on this intwrview. 🙏😁

You said Mary Lincoln could be pushy😂😂

Oh Coco.

How much longer. Do I have to wait for Steve Martin to get Rick Moranis out of retirement for My Blue Heaven 2?

Last line was the best = "Pauly Shore fell out"

GREAT to see the Jerk and Ed Grimley again! 2 comedy heros!

"Pauly Shore fell out." I wonder how many times that's been said.

This was one of the best segments of this episode. It's fun to watch Conan make Marty laugh. He seems like a tough nut to crack sometimes. Im so glad i had those two old farts since the early 80s as a kid ❤

These guys are funny, Martin short is very funny, but still Conan is the funniest

Watch a rerun with Bob Hope as Carson's guest. You will see how nervous Carson was during the interview.

Poor Pauly Shore.

Back in 1979 a friend in L.A. told me that he saw Steve Martin walking by on Sunset the day after his first "Tonight Show" appearance and stopped him to congratulate him. He said Martin was very understated and it seemed like he wasn't expecting to be recognized. Did Steve forget this or was my friend making it all up?

You guys mentioned death and then prayer. On Sept 30, a group of friends and I are doing music for a memorial service for a good friend who passed away recently. Got any humor ideas that would be appropriate for this? We’ll be playing older church songs in a banjo/mandolin/acoustic gtr fashion.

Carson. Letterman. Conan.

Steve always had something prepared, not just for his stand up but also for when he sat down with Johnny. I think the only other person I remember doing that consistently was Ellen DeGeneres.

And were all gona die as well 😂😂😂😂
