I agree

Perhaps one of the greatest debuts by a standup Dave ever had. I caught this. Thought it was brilliant then, still do. And they let this same guy onto WWDTM ….

Holy moly. I have this on VHS. I totally forgot about it. What a time.

Great grandfather right there!

I am his great grand child. We have a lot of freemasons in our family, the family dynamic is weird.

looking good katie cutie but try to wear more revealing clothes so viewers can be more alert/awake

And I’ll go NOOOO❗️

16:56 yeap!!!! Happening today!

Annoying from start to finish

Coked up weirdo played in 83

That cat was the best fuck I ever had. Thanks Steve.

Idiotic

I only see th first 30sec, and already it comes across as spastic, coarse and jus not funny.. Hav seen him in other acts, and he wz good in th film, "blow"

And they make you eat meat you've never eaten before... 😂😂😂😂😂😂

My aunt Burnice and uncle Ken Roger's. My uncle Ken is Will cousin. This is cool. ❤

Will Rogers lives forever!

Will Rogers is my hero!

His mother looks like she can be part Indigenous. Father looks like he just stepped off the Mayflower. At best he looks a quarter native to the Americas, but okay. We’ll pretend.

I never understood how this could be a whole persona and not just a bit. Having to keep this up is just so, weird? Exhausting? Pretending like you have tourettes or something? I just dont get it.

His Share the Warmth special was one of my favorite stand up specials of all time. All of the jokes that miss here hit in that special. He was much better at what he did at that time. Dee Snider was in the audience too when twisted sister were at their peak

Best comic skit of his was the "Penis Enlargement Cream" Cant😢find it anywhere. Anybody have it?

Painfully bad.

This was really cool. I remember when 'King Tut' came out (the song - not the pharaoh), it was HUGE! Steve Martin was super-hot around that time. Didn't he play banjo for The Ozark Mountain Daredevils? Could have been another band - I can't remember.

Gary Gulman is greatness!

The not paying for carpet cracked me up.

I can't believe this guy got away with his garbage for so long..... Why don't you just try to tell a joke without All of the other nonsense....

Fantastic video!

I see that his performance of A Connecticut Yankee (by Twain) is here on CZcams!

Who is George carlin

I did not know there was a Ronnie Dangerfield game. I will definitely have to look for this. Thanks for letting us know. Ronnie was one of my favorite comedians. And I enjoyed his acting appearances. Looking forward to finding out more things I don’t know.

Just found this video/channel. A video essay about comedy and comedians is a new experience and I am here for it. The closest I have to relate to this is my attempt in a speech class about how comedy is a unifying medium with the ability to change cultures.

I'm in my 50s buy can remember watching his old movies and heard my parents talk about him.

I first became aware of Dimitri Martin when he used to appear on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. He would just have a segment, and he was always funny. And so I was very excited when I saw that he had a standup special, which I believe was probably also on Comedy Central. I seen a few of his specials. I think we have similar minds. Puzzle solver. I also am fascinated with words and anagrams, and rearranging the letters in signs. Unfortunately, as I’ve only gotten into stand-up comedy recently, writing for five years, but not doing an open mic until last November, I have to check to make sure I’m not duplicating any of his bits. Even though there is such a thing as parallel thinking. The audience thinks you’re stealing a bit, you just can’t do it pretty much. it’s hard to fight group perception, even if it’s incorrect. Currently, my stand-up comedy is very different than what Dimitri does. Really enjoying your videos. Thank you.

Of course, I have a lot of respect and admiration for Steve Martin. Brilliant comic, writer, actor, and a virtuoso banjo player. Inspired by Steve Martin, I have tried to always have a little bit of goofiness in my five minute stand-up sets. I’m still in the novice stage, only five months in at Open Mics, but my Comedy is still more traditional in structure than what Steve Martin does/did. I don’t think I could do what he does, in terms of his structure, which almost seems like lack of structure. He is a singular talent. I appreciate this video. Thank you.

not funny, just American.

Holy f*ckin shit, how high is he here? 😱

Despise his standup, love his movies.

This is utterly terrible

dump her

now its preachers with seeking friendly style like become a volunteer to my church and remember Jesus saves see ya next week

He was still a believer, he was disillusioned.

I like Robin Williams.

It had to be exhausting for him to be in character so often. I bet fans drove him nuts

Its amazing he could make a career from this act. Its definitely unique. He was perfect for Police Academy. The 80s were great.

Siyo Katie!! I've enjoyed your video many times. It's just super. Being a Cherokee American too, my NDN grandparents taught me about Will Rogers when I was 4. That's 60 years ago now. Wado for your video. You're as charming as you described Will Rogers. My wife and I would be proud to have a granddaughter like you. Be well!

...i want to get seriious for just a minute!

Great video from someone that looks far too young to be so wise... important story beautifully told. I can't wait to view your other episodes..x

I took a Bible as Literature course in college taught by my old Jr High Dean. except for the long hair he looked and sounded just like Sam Kineson.

You make REAL PEOPLE sound stupid. It's you that's STUPID!!! 😐
