'this is nor the time or place' is a classic Steve Martin delivery. He had used it on multiple occasions. Still feeling fresh, though.
Martin Short also uses it
And the line, "I don't use genius very often........I just thought I'd mention that.

Every now and then, over the years, I've had to come back to this clip. Steve Martin was on fire that night.
@Maryln Mcvey And this matters to me because....Oh, that's right. It doesn't. And can we assume that you now have one less friend?!?
Absolutely hilarious!!
@@roncoghlan8196 You are going to jail for sucking Austin and Luke Francis dick all these years yes? Are you going to jail for sucking Prince Edward‘s dick all these years yes? are you going to jail for sucking prince prince Andrews dick all these years yes? are you going to jail for hanging out with princess Dianne all these years with her kids not knowing it?
@@el7jake u by no
So much so that Richard Pryor avoided him that night, and for about a week after.
There two ways to be a comedian, Steve Martin's way and everybody else's way.
This is timeless. I've lost count the number of times I've viewed this. Again and again.
Same here -- I laugh so hard every time!
because it's perfect
I have seen many Steve Martin clips on KRplus over the years… the guy always delivers… what a brilliant comedian!!
Steve Martin is the best! Love his delivery....what a master comedian
The Streisand line is still remarkably funny. Only twenty years ago when we could still laugh at each other.
I think it’s a testament to how great Steve Martin is when an amazing man such as James Earl Jones is star struck.
Was he star struck? I see a man laughing at another man's jokes.
@@bossfan49 There was a clear admiration and sense of adulation, but you will likely spend more time looking up what that means than you will spend actually EVOLVING. Stay buried in your own colon
"I don't often mention the word genius very often. I just thought I'd mention it."
Up to that point I was simply chuckling at Steve. At that point I started laughing in my recliner and a tear formed.
Oh dear; could you get it stitched?
@@AndrewJens No. It's a very cheap recliner bought for delivery from Amazon. It's probably made in China. It's a super thin imitation of black leather. It's not repairable. I'll probably cover it with a blanket to keep the already growing damage from spreading until I can get a better quality recliner.
@@PlanetEarth3141 (I was considering a tear to your person.)
@@AndrewJens 😂
“It’s been nice being a citizen.” That line slays me every time.
THE best comedy speech EVER!!!!! I salute you, Steve Martin. You´re the best.
Interestingly, Steve Carrell's Kennedy Center Honours speech for Steve Martin was better than this.
@@Simonchez Ofcourse you know that's not true.
guess you haven't heard 1. Jon Stewart tribute to Springsteen or 2. Rick Wakeman acceptance speech RnR Hall of Fame
Steve Martin's speech for Tom Hanks AFI award...awesome.
The best "speech" was Billy Crystal's eulogy of Mohammed Ali at his funeral.
Love it. Also James Earl Jones seems to have the night of his life :)
Back in the days when a President could celebrate the accomplishments of someone else other than himself, especially our artists, our creative minds, and thinkers!
Well, I wouldn't have used "accomplishments" when writing about the person to whom you refer. I think "bragging about his PERCEIVED accomplishments" might have been more accurate.
Back in the days when a President could remember the names of the people being honored.
From a time when a President wasn't a pedophile
@@patrickmorgan4006 Why are you even here. Steve is a left wing liberal.
@@eclecticmusica I thought this was a public website and everyone was allowed to comment. Sorry if I was wrong. It was an f-ing joke. Laces out Dan!
I've seen Paul Simon in concert I think maybe 3 to 4 times and he is absolutely fantastic
He knocks it out of the park with he first sentence, and then keeps them coming -- genius!
If your feeling down, Steve Martin with his with & charm & comedy tone he will cheer you up!
Paul's amused reactions to Steve's jokes show that he knows the guy too well.
His timing is so sublime...The master of setting up the audience....!!
Steve Martin such a master on stage
Steve is so good at these occasions, among other events, such as Oscar hosting.
never a dull moment with Steve Martin, can play music, act, even dance. His Pennies from heaven movie literally and pleasantly surprised me.
Yes, PFH was remarkable, especially given his wild and crazy guy image at the time.
Very sweet and touching film.
His work in The Jerk, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, L.A. Story and especially Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid has set him as a great actor as well.
I can watch this over and over watching James Earl Jones busting a gut laughing. 😂😂😂
Classic Comedy! I've watched this 20 times already and always come back for one more time! This is what a genius sounds like!
Priceless speech! It is funny, cute and honorable to one of the greatest American composers. I have always enjoyed his music either solo or with art. Heard his songs many times on the radio. Have his greatest hits and Graceland lol. The reactions from the audience shows their love for Steve's speech. Thanks utube
What a terrific tribute! Humor mixed with the usual accolades. I'm glad Paul Simon counts Steve Martin among his friends, such that he could do it, to the huge enjoyment of the audience then, and us now.
If I need a good laugh-out-loud complete with tears, I always come back to Steve
I don’t use the word “genius” very often.....I just wanted to mention that....also...Steve Martin is the greatest comedian of all time ..just wanted to say that
yet another Steve Home Run -- and at The Kennedy Center no less!
He totally killed it!! Great job Steve!
Steve Martin is ALWAYS funny.
One of the greatest songwriters of all time!!!
He may be, but this is neither the time nor the place to mention it! :)
Yes, his hit King Tut will be cherished for ages to come
Steve Martin is okay on the banjo, but greatest songwriter of all time is a bit much. 😊
yes of course. and Paul SImon too.
Classic. Genius. I go back to this clip all the time.
A small guy but a huge, boundless musical talent....love your music Paul, with or without Art. Keep it going!!
From one legend to another. Fantastic tribute.
Steve Martin's delivery is the best and I never get tired of listening to him, in fact, I just want to slip a slice of baloney in each of my shoes so I feel funny just listening to him!!!! Thank you Steve.
Steve Martin's speech shows why he got the Mark Twain prize for comedy.
By the way, many people mention Mark Twain, but few have read more than books of his we were forced to read in school. Try reading his LETTERS FROM THE EARTH to see the range of his wit and knowledge. It's online for free.
Yes, and his biography of Joan of Arc
So delightful.. and funny.. we salute Paul Simon..and.. yes..Steve. :)
Hello there Sharon Nice meeting you here
World's best comedian, ever.
George, James and Paul loving every bit of this.
Love me some Steve Martin.
Not sure why this came into my feed but it's pretty cool. The whole cast of characters looking much younger than they are today. I even saw a younger Burt Bacharach, RIP.
Steve Martin is hysterical.
Who doesn't love Steve!! He's a total Blast!!
If this is not one of the funniest bits ever recorded I'll eat my hat!
Even his entering stride is precision. Jones and others smile in anticipation - - they know the quality coming.
Steve Martin: “Thank You”
Me: AHHHHH MY HEART!!!
"nice being a citizen" 🤣🤣
Paul is a genius an so is Steve Martin
What a genius...we don't have many left
Paul Simons reactions are priceless!
A legendary artist paying tribute to a legendary artist. I will continue to rewatch this amazing entertainment.
I met Steve once many years back. Not much of a conversation becuase, at the time,
he was holding a banjo. That was an exceptional moment, as well. He's a wild and crazy guy.
Steve Martin you are a GENIUS COMEDIAN!!!
Steve knocked it out of the ballpark with those funnytributous jokes!!!!!!!!!
i dont use the word genius,, i just thought id mention that ,, kills me everytime ,thanks steve martin you sir are a comic genius, and one more thing i just adored your work in dirty rotten scoundrels, that was pure artistry
This is one of the best speeches ever.
Comedy genius!
1:14 Love how EVERYONE is in stitches.
Men, women, democrats, republicans...
Paul should really give Steve some credit for helping him to be so successful!
Brilliant. Steve Martin is great!
"I don't use the word genius very often. I just thought I'd mention that."
Wow. The audience had a sitting president, two presidential nominees and an actual Kennedy that was a direct relation to a president.
Holy shit that was a good set
Steve is so 1-derful !!! Timing is the most important element in comedy and this guy is the Master, the absolute best !!! Every aspiring comedian should learn some lessons from this video.
There can be only one Steeevee, however.
@@chasbodaniels1744 Agreed !!! That crazy guy is unique, so talented !!!
flawless!
Genius
Steve Martin is Comedy Gold
Steve Martin is a comical genius.
I love the fact President Bush has such a great sense of humour.
For all his political failings, he’s supposed to be one of the coolest guys to have a bee…. whoops, he’s a recovering alcoholic, so let’s say “coffee” instead.
Steve Martin you are the Genius !!!
James Earl Jones reactions are the best part of this.
There can be no fire without fuel. That Paul Simon's humorous song should serve as decent cattle fodder enough to inspire and to draw out some of the best comedy lines that a front-runner if not in-fact also a trail blazer of modern day comedy has delivered, is in itself a true testament to the versatile lyrical genius and ability of Paul Simon. Work always speaks for itself, and although there is much said about grace and even if it not be apart from work, not much of it is any good.
I think you meant "cannon fodder", not "cattle fodder"?
Thank goodness , I didn't.
@@sundareshvenugopal6575 I don't think you understand the meaning of the terms.
If it means what it really means, which hopefully is also what the dictionary defines it to mean, then I don't think you do. But it is more like shining in reflected light.
@@sundareshvenugopal6575 Whatever you say.
"I'm cooking a chicken". I hope he got royalties. 😂😂
Brilliant speech.
Legends seem to hang out with each other.
I'll use it, "genius!"
I have never understood Steve's comedy but this... THIS is absolute gold...
I've always preferred the Steve Martin persona more than his actual stand-up routines, and his personality here is hilarious.
Steve is GREAT!
No way that Garfunkel shouldn't have been there with him!
His best movie was when he was raised by another family. I laughed throughout the whole movie. We need to laugh more. This is 2020 and many people I see are angry. Few people I see have s smile.
'The Jerk'
I own a copy of The Jerk and The 3 Amigos. I don't know why.😏
i would be so honored to have steve martin give a speech about me
I’m just having fun spotting the same celebs in these clips no matter what year...I’ve spotted Glenn close and Christine baranski in nearly all of them
Steve's delivery was masterful. I don't use the word genius often. Just saying.
Well done, Mr. Martin!
i like it when the camera cut to Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney after that hilarious line "... i love her music but can't be seen buying it"
It was Kelsey Grammer and Romney.
@@seattlewa8500 i meant the guy (one shot) before Romney.
@@ISYETUNKNOWN That was Ted Kennedy. He was the designated driver for the night.
That is one wild and crazy guy.
Many years ago a good friend of mine was teaching school with Paul Simon's father. Every afternoon his father would sit in the teachers' room and kvetch about him. "My son Paul is a very bright guy. I want him to go to law school, he would make a wonderful lawyer. Instead he sits around the house all day playing his guitar and writing songs. I tell him Paul, you're wasting your life."
Nice story :)
@@mariamesaiashvili8040 Paul finally did go to Law School but quit after a few months. Thank G-d. NYC had enough lawyers and Paul's career was exemplary. He certainly did not waste his life.
@@vogparis09 Sure I agree. It is just another proof that parents do not always know what is best for their children :)
@@mariamesaiashvili8040 You have an interesting name. Only matching name I could find is a Prof. who at one time went to Fordham. Presently in Georgia (not U.S.). However I hope you appreciate Ray Charles singing "Georgia."
@@vogparis09 Yes, I am from country Georgia, currently live in Georgia and indeed went to Fordham for some professional courses :) I appreciate Ray Charles, he visited Georgia BTW, but I love Paul Simon and the Boss :)
Steve , Steve. Hey Steve. lol 😂
Very good 👍
Lennon/Mcartney Paul Simon best ever
Brian Wilson may have topped 'em all.
"I don't use the word genius very often. ..................pause............. I just thought I'd mention that." Prize winner!
What an opening line/delivery - wonder if this came to Steve right
away - or he considered a lot of different ways-to-go. Fooled the shit
out of me, as I thought Steve was going down
the dignified/ceremonial Road.
Steve's cookin'... 😂
God I love him
I'm not gonna pretend to know the reason for paul and art splitn up but i'm happy for the time they did have together cause they gave us some of themost beutiful songs ever and that my freinds is the straight up truth. No argument, paul is absolutly one of the best ever on his own but still the pair will never be outdone. Just an opinion of s music lover
brilliant humour
Holy crap it's Mitt Romney (3:57)
And before that Ted Kennedy ...
Wow, this Steve Martin guy is good. I mean really good.
You think?
Elizabeth Taylor didn't seem to know what was going on
Comedy at it's best!
Done like a classic roast, love to see something like this today
