Steve Martin gets the documentary film treatment

He sure doesn't sound or move like he's 78! Steve Martin is ageless and a gift to the world.

Only Murders in the Building. Brilliant. It’s a gift for us all. So much nuance, quick throwaway lines that are spectacular and just plain heart. I particularly love Season 3 with all the theater insider jokes and love for the stage and musicals. I came for the mysteries (I’m a mystery geek) but found so much more.

I loved Steve Martin in Roxanne. Such an endearing role for him and a very sweet movie.

I love his smile. It's disarming and easing, when difficult questions are asked

Saw Steve at Caesar's Palace in 1977! During his balloon animal phase. He was/is riotous!
Truly a national treasure!

Steve's talent is intelligence.

Steve Martin is a national treasure. Unbelievably talented. ❤ Love love love! 👏👏👏

“Parenthood” is my favorite Steve Martin movie, even though it’s an ensemble movie. It’s not only funny, it’s also realistic. It’s one of the most relatable movies ever made.

Steve Martin is one of the last of the great comedian superstars. Watching him on tv and movies left a big effect on so many people through the decades.

A fan since the beginning! I have every comedy album. There is something special about Steve Martin....as a human being, comedian, actor, writer, screenwriter, playwright, musician, collaborator...... He simply makes me happier.....that is a gift! 😊❤

I have loved Steve ever since he started his comedy in the 70’s. ♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🥰

His King Tut skit on SNL is fabulous.

Planes Train and Automobiles is a masterpiece.

What a kind & humble beautiful man he is, love you sir , Blessings

Had the pleasure of watching Steve on every episode of Saturday Night Live he was one the night it aired. If we were at a party, someone would turn it on and we'd all gather around the TV to watch. Brilliant man.

Steve coming on Johnny Carson was an EVENT. His appearances in SNL were essential viewing.

Huge part of my childhood. Never missed SNL when he was on. He looks remarkable for 78!!

The banjo is perfect. Steve Martin and the banjo are perfectly American.

I too love Steve Martin & not just as a Comic,his musical career, talk shows, everything about him!!

We LUV You Steve Martin, One of my FAVORITE Comedic Inspirations 💐 💐 💐 💐

I love Steve Martin. 🙃

Can’t wait to see this doc. Steve Martin is an American legend and easily one of the greatest comic actors to ever live.

Bowfinger was the most hysterical movie, couldn’t stop laughing. All of Me is a close second. Thanks Steve. My most favorite skit on SNL was you and Gilda deer trying to cross the road.

I've watched "All of Me" so many times & still love it.

Steve Martin became who his by sheer will. His story is amazing and inspiring.

Man with Two Brains is very underrated

Loved Steve in all of his genres including acting in the very funny movie Housesitter

I have always liked Steve Martin and look forward to the documentary. His autobiography was really great.

My first introduction to Mr. Martin was "The Muppet Movie". Loved him then, love him now.
I watched the Steve Martin and Martin Short: An Evening You'll Forget For The Rest of Your Life on Netflix. I laughed a lot - They play off each other so very very well.

Jane Pauley you’re still at the top of your game.

Steve Martin's performance alone in the Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band movie makes it worth watching .

He's been one of our comic geniuses since he first appeared on stage. I know big stars like to be humble and that's admiral, but he can also entitled to be really really proud of his work and his contributions. His genius is deep and often goes over the heads of a lot of people.

I loved him & still love him, he's always been my all time favorite!

Was able to see him live with Martin Short in Ft. Myers, FL. An unbelievable talent. His career is insane.

..."I have this theory that as you age, you either become your worst self or your best self."
-Steve Martin #wise

For younger boomer/older GenX, there was nothing quite like seeing your friends on Monday morning if Steve Martin had been on Saturday Night Live over the weekend. It was all we could talk about.

One of the best period

I’m may be the only one but dead men don’t wear plaid is my favorite Martin work.

The Great Flydini, a magic act that was both touching and comedic.

What the hell is that? What the hell is THAT?!? Oh, I know what that is..... What the hell IS that?!?!? (My second favorite Steve Martin gag!)

My favorite comedian of all time..

My fav comedian. Thanks, Steve, if you're reading this.

A friend helped him in a clothing store in Boston years ago and said he was really rude. I am so happy he learned to be kind and gracious as the years come upon him. 🥳

One of My first celebrity crushes! 😭❤Still is...!🎉😂 and to be nearly 80! 🥺🥴

"Pennies from Heaven" is a great movie, and Steve dances like a madman in it! It's a dark movie, but well worth watching. Christopher Walken is great in it, too.

Genius

If I’m ever stranded on a desert island, I hope it’s with Steve!

I've seen all his movies. While in High School I would go to local theatres and ask for his posters and cardboard cuts out after his movie left the theater and decorated my room with them.

Always love Steve Martin!

Bless you, Sir. You've brought much joy to rhe world. I loved My Blue Heaven. 😂

I ❤️ Steve Martin

Right, everyone goes through highs and lows. Love his work, he’s made me laugh for years. Thanks, Steve.

Love his humility. One of my all time favorite celebrities.

THIS GENTLEMAN CRACKED ME UP WHEN I WAS A CHILD..
FROM MOVIES..SNL..
LOVE THIS GENTLEMAN AND A MUSICIAN TO BOOT..
GOTTA LOVE HIM..
I DO..❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

He’s a comic & musical genius, kind, respectful
He’s always been my favorite comedian
I listened as a teen to his “Let’s Get Small” album over and over
He started stand-up in my hometown of San Francisco
He wrote for the Smothers Brothers & Johnny Carson
✍️ 😁

Always wondered if he was the one playing the banjo during the bridge of SQUEEZBOX by The Who?😂

Hell yeah!
Aykroyd was just on Howard Stern today too!
Did y'all know that Ghostbusters was originally written for John Belushi and Eddie Murphy?
Dan got a phone call that Belushi had died _as he was writing a line for him._

I have no idea how Steve Martin lived through that arrow through his brain thing. Must’ve had really good sturgeons for that one! I meant to say surgeons!

I graduated high school in 1978 and under the picture in our yearbook they allowed us to put a saying that had meaning to us, as most yearbooks do. Mine was “Let’s get small”. I was sure that one day I would be a great comedian like Steve, but unfortunately I got small too many times and before I knew it that dream went up in smoke. Love everything this man has ever done.

First time for me to go to a Nitty Gritty Dirt Band performance in Meridian Mississippi and have a great experience seeing Mr Martin open 1972 or 73 ?

He’s the best❤

Mr Martin you are such an amazing essence in this world and I am so grateful that you are in it. For you, your wife and child, wishing all the best of making memories for many many many years to come 💐

When the documentary starts out discussing his childhood years, “I was born a poor black child in the Mississippi delta”

Steve dancing with Gilda Radner........love it.

Anyone who makes 40 films is clearly talented. I hope the documentary is more widely available soon. Good interview.

My generation loved Steve Martin. Now days there is so much other stuff on tv you don't see the classics.

the world needs more steve martin....... he is amazing!!!

0:31 “Once upon a time in the magical realm of Manhattan, there was a handsome white haired prince who played an enchanted instrument called… a ‘banjo’ in his royal palace. He’s literally just chilling out and minding his business, not hurting anyone. Why am I even doing this”

I love a guy with that much fame, fortune and great movies yo his name to be like “I don’t think I’m all that great. I doubt myself. I wonder how all of this happened.”

Waco, Texas... What starts here changes the world.

A very respectable body of work and then when you see how musically talented he is as well - kind of puts him over-the-top brilliant!

He is such an amazing musician.....actor....comedian,human.

I loved him in It’s Complicated! Such a funny movie.

Steve is truly versatile : comedian, actor, musician, author.

Steve is such a LEGEND 🌠👑❤️

I have a picture of Steve holding my dog, a Boston Terrier back in early 80's. He was at my job filming a scene for The Man With Two Brains. I think he was kidding but he asked to buy my dog.

My most movie fave of Steve Martin will always be "Bringing Down the House" 😆 the scene where he goes up into the club dressed like some rapper, the lingo he used in that the voice 🤣 the best.

Steve is a legend and completely ageless.
I didn't realise he was 78.
He's pretty much looked the same to me for the last 40 years. Advantage of going grey early I suppose ha.

Steve Martin is a gosh darn national treasure & I absolutely lurve all his movies & Only Murders In The Building, a comedic gem of a series! My Blue Heaven, Three Amigos, Father of the Bride, L.A. Story, The Man With Two Brains I could go on but Steve Martin is just #AWildNCrazyGuy!!

Steve Martin's brilliance is knowing what people will find humorous/funny - and knowing what other comics have not done before. Much of comedy is the surprise, and Steve was always ready to do that.

That director is really something else. It would be a dream come true to be able to make a project like that with the person I look up to; truly expressing that they are as important to the qorld as they are to me.

Love him! Brilliant. ❤

I wouldn't describe myself as a die-hard fan, but -- the funniest thing that I think I've ever seen in my life was Steve Martin's retrieval of his answering machine messages on THE TONIGHT SHOW.

SO WELL DESERVED..
❤❤❤❤❤❤

I agree with what he said about aging as far as you either get better or you get worse. But I think its a conceious choice you make. I volunteer once a week at my local senior center. There are younger seniors like me and much older ones. Some of them are just the most insufferable people you'd ever hope to meet. Others are quite open and lovely, so full of life. I think it also has to do with how much trauma you have experienced in your lifetime and how you delt with it. There are some super angry people out there whom I don't think even realize that they are, which is sad to me. To reach your golden years to be nothing but a huge angry, self entitled narcissist is such a pathetic way to spend that precious time in one's life. Not everyone is blessed with the opportunity/gift to BE an older person, so to me you should embrace it and find your bliss!!!

He is an amazing personL

"Leap of Faith" is my favorite Steve Martin movie. "Roxanne" and "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" are also really good.

BEST EVER MOVIE..
SIMPLE FAITH

Hey Steve, is this moment (of getting a documentary made about you) similar to the moment when Navin saw his name in the phone book? You should’ve ended this interview by saying, “Things are going to start happening to me NOW!”

I also recommend the underrated "Pennies from Heaven".
Martin is a very good dancer (he studied Tap for this film)
plus "Pennies from Heaven" is one of my three favorites of Christopher Walken.

Here it is 2024 and I love this guy!

Best smile in show business.

I ❤ Gern Blanston!

I used to live in Brevard NC close to where Steve's retreat house is. It's said that he is always a very nice guy when in and around town.

Steve Martin is my hero.

For the past several years I have wanted Steve Martin to play Tim Cook. I thing he would do a great job, as he always does.

Awesome. ❤

The day the dopes came over. Comedy gold. 😁

Surprised there was not any mention of Planes, Trains and Automobiles, his best movie in my opinion.

I saw his '77 (I think) show at the UNI-Dome. I worked directing traffic before and after his performance. As we left to do our jobs, we turned to see what I'm guessing didn't occur very much. His white bus entered the stadium and he ran down behind the stage and stuck up his thumb hitching for a ride. He entered the bus and left the stadium. The audience loved it. His bus happened to drive past me outside at my post. I stuck up my thumb hitching for a ride but no luck. 🥴
