- In Steve Martin's first major television appearance on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour in 1968, he shows off his juggling expertise.
The Smothers Brothers
The Smothers Brothers, Tom and Dick, are one of the most iconic comedy duos in the history of television. Tom and Dick began performing as a duo in the late 1950s, playing in coffeehouses and clubs in San Francisco. Their act consisted of music, comedy, and witty banter, which quickly gained them a following.
The Smothers Brothers became a household name in the late 1960s with their variety show, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. The show was groundbreaking in its approach to comedy, pushing the boundaries with political satire and social commentary. The show also featured up-and-coming musical acts, including The Doors and The Who, and introduced the world to comedians like Steve Martin and George Carlin.
The Smothers Brothers' irreverent style has made them a beloved and enduring force in American comedy.

Holy shit Steve Martin before he permanently became 50 for about 4 decades.

I had no clue that was him. Who knew he could juggle?
@@polish_filipino are you blind? He looks and sounds exactly the same just with black hair instead of gray
Hahaha 😂
Rumor has it he turned himself gray by trying to figure out how to end that thing.
very, very funny!
perfect comment lol
I always thought he was born with gray hair!🤣🤣🤣
I knew it.
😆
@@stevetomblin9007
I thought the same thing of Leslie Nielson.
"You're not laughing now." I've always loved his delivery, lol
"You're not. Laughing. Now." He was destined for greatness from Day 1, that's for sure.
"Hey, this guy's good!"
You have to Show this Todd Howard
Very Morpheus
He never once made me laugh. I just don't get it. Everytime he performs I feel like I'm being pranked.
Many many people forget just how talented Steve is. He’s not just a comedian … he’s the whole show. Keep us laughing, Steve! Legend
And he's a banjo virtuoso
Most definitely! Very talented. He has recorded several albums with his bluegrass band, the Steep Canyon Rangers.
@@erzahler1930 They are not his band but he works with them. They performed in their own right and did for 10 years before Steve.
i’m so lucky to have gotten to see him live with Martin Short when they preformed the Hollywood Bowl , absolute powerhouse
People had to be so talented back then to be famous. You really had to WORK!
Steve Martin is just the joy that left Harrison Ford in the 90s and I cant unsee it.
Haha that's deep
I had to read it three times to get it then had a good chuckle. Thanks
You made me actually laugh out loud at work, thank you internet person
God bless you that was a great analysis. May the force be with you
Yeah, no one ever talks about that. What happened to him? The only movie he tried in was Indy 4, and that was the movie no one asked for, but we got anyway.
That man is just insanely talented on multiple levels, comedian, musician, writer, jugler and producer .
Not a great juggler but a good casual juggler
30 years earlier and he'd have been a music hall star.
Not to mention actor.
And a politician..( he lied 2 times )
@@ders972sure, i bet u are
Juggling that proficiently while on TV takes big talent & confidence.
And the ability to juggle.
And a film camera.
And balls. I think you all forget the balls.
@@marvelcomix1 Yeah, you do have to have balls.
Honestly, what he’s doing is extremely simple in the large realm of juggling. However, it’s still a solid act
Such talent and a LOOKER too Thx for all the laughs over the years Love ya❤
Yeah, what dashing good looks!
Very talented guy, his banjo skills alone are amazing.
I remember seeing him on American idol and still love the song from his album
That's not 'banjo skills,' it's called juggling.
@@atomicdancer lol
Isn’t he like one of if not the greatest banjo players alive?
Yeah! And have you seen him juggle banjos? Amazing talent.
That's some good charisma right there. Charisma and presence is what separates a good actor from just a good looking actor or entertainer.
😊😊🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
@@aguasvivas809able q😊
Thank you for saying charisma. Today’s kids seem to be illiterate and can’t even spell charisma. All they can muster up is “rizz”
*cough* Chris Pratt *cough*
No shit
My grandmother loved this guy and I remember watching him growing up, well I'm grown now, then some and my kids are watching "Only murders in the building" 🤷 we love Steve in this household 🙏
The simplicity in his humor was always legendary
Dad joke personified. I crack up laughing out loud at the introduction of the infamous (that's when you're morthan famous) "3rd Ball"
Wow, never seen him with out grey or silver hair! Hell of a banjo player too!
I know right😅😅
The hair is iconic at this point
Only once in father of the bride 2.
Wait.. is he the banjoplayer in "Deliverance"?
Joke..
It's all fun and games until Steve Martin breaks out the banjo!!! 🤠🪕
He got stuck and dint know how to end loop😂😂😂
This is the first time I’ve ever seen him without his trademark silver/white hair.
some of us old folks aren't used to seeing them with the gray hair cuz we remember him from these days cuz he was also a writer for the Smothers Brothers
Don’t quote me on this because I’m too lazy to google it but apparently he went straight white haired because of a genetic condition. As a snot-nosed toddler I thought he was an old man in The Three Amigos and then saw him in Cheaper by the Dozen years later after it came out and I was like “what the hell he looks the same”
@@-DRIP I remember his first appearance even on Johnny Carson's you came up with that Arrow to his head he's a funny guy you did a movie with Michael Caine Dirty Rotten Scoundrels that's what it was if you haven't seen that that's a great movie to probably better than the Three Amigos I'd really don't like Chevy Chase but it was still a funny movie yeah my buddy turn gray in his twenties and must be genetic condition like you say. Take care
@@feellucky271 Greying hair is a "genetic condition" often accompanied by the beginning of wrinkles, sagging jowls and a baggy belly, and it's found in EVERYONE'S genes LOL.
same!
“You’re not laughing now!” I’m stealing this line and the delivery
Comedy Genius Steve Martin 😂😂😂😂😂❤
i felt the power in "your not laughing now" (also im keeping it as your get fuked)

Steve Martin is such a gift.
Gift? Just can't figure out how to exchange it for something I can use!!
@@smartfortwo451 he doesn't make you laugh?
You're a gift, handsome man :)
Oh shit I didn't realize until I saw your comment
@@smartfortwo451 he's a good entertainer. If you don't like him, maybe you're jaded and just can't feel things anymore.
The Smothers Brothers… Loved ‘em as a kid.
Steve Martin is the best. He did this juggling bit for quite a while but still funny. It got a bit longer in the 70s.
Crazy to see him w brown hair. 😊
He looks like he needs to be the captain of the USS Enterprise
fr 😂😂😂
He's just missing the Trekky logo on his shirt lol
That's it!! 😁 😁
@@emu-latergaming6607 nah, he's just Scotty's American double
Thats Mr. Spock
it's so weird hearing Steve Martin's voice coming out of that young man's mouth
He was one of the greatest
@Jim Catanzaro Yes he was, RIP.
@@aaronramirez2610 He is still alive, 77 years old.
@@ZaneDouglas1 He actually died at the age of 77.
I wasn't even aware he was ever young. Learn something new everyday. ;-)
I don't think people realize how long Steve Martin has been around! I'm 57 and I remember him as a real little kid!! ❤😊
He has always been and will always be hilarious, smart, and gorgeous❤️
“You’re not laughing now”💀
"💀"
Indeed, he did some stuff that you don't just do after a day of juggling. And much more than that, he did those things and talked while doing it and he made the audience laugh and gasp. That's the real magic.
The audience was coached. Professional laughers. Breaking the fourth wall was considered taboo for live comedy in the 20th century. Prerecorded comedy, not so much. The double-standard is confusing to some, and I'm sure finding out about it makes some generations of people cringe, as they're used to the concept of laugh tracks, but that's the way it was.
laughs are cheap... I'm going for gasps
I love Steve Martin! The Jerk is my favorite comedy movie. My dad had his book, The Cruel Shoes. It cracked me up 🤣😂🤣
The Jerk was funny! Loved it when he had to leave his house in his robe and boxer shorts and kept grabbing one more thing 😂
@@TheSmothersBrothersShow
So many quotes are running through my head.
“You mean I’m gonna stay this color?”
“Next week I’ll be able to send more money because Patty said she was going to give me a 🌬️job. “
“He hates these cans!”
🎶I’m picking out a thermos for you! Not an ordinary thermos for you! But the extra best thermos you can buy. With vinyl, stripes, and a cup built right in. I’m picking out a thermos for you. And maybe a barometer, too. And what else can I buy? So on me you’ll rely a rear end thermometer, too!🎶
I also know every word to the song Steve and Bernadette sing together, but knowing the thermos song is more impressive, said nobody ever.
🤣 We’re very impressed!
@@TheSmothersBrothersShow
Y’all are the only ones impressed, but thank you ☺️ 😂🤣😂🤣
What a legend. Comedy spanning multiple generations and still going strong!
“i could never figure out how to end this thing” 😭
That why it called the big deal 😂😂😂
Yeah we all heard him say that, congrats for repeating
@@Laluan yeah I was pointing out the part I thought was funniest, congrats on being a dunce 😭🐢
@@Laluanhonestly! people that repeat the punch line of a 30 second video are absolute NPCs and you can’t convince me otherwise.
@@SaWaii”congrats on being a dunce” 😂 😂 😭 😭
Steve: You’re not laughing now
Everyone: **laughs**
He should have saved that line for when his career hit the 1990's.
@@csb7376 good lord, shots fired lol
He's been a delight all his life. ❤
This is wicked!
Back when people on live television laughed like normal people
R u o k ?
That's canned laughter bro, it's existed since news reels existed.
@@BigWheel.Probably.
But to his credit, hard to tell with the Butterscotch filter effect of old mics
@@BigWheel.some canned laughter scares me bc it’s like listening to folks from decades ago laugh 😭
@@BigWheel.So it is a laughter track also? Like a recording edited into the video?
I hate those sooo much
I have never seen him being this young. Very cool. He has always been so multi talented.
I see Steve Martin in a video, I hit the 'like' button. Man is a national treasure.
I actually remember that precise moment during the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. I mean, deja vu all over again!
Damn, he was a handsome fella!
Yeah and I just realized he stayed handsome for many years! Grey hair and all
He's not black. He can't be handsome
@@CryptoRico77 Is that a reference to a Steve Martin joke? 🤔 Or are you being weird?
@@inajai6422 Why not both?
Martin was a cold dude
I really wish we got a movie with Steve Martin and Harrison Ford as brothers. They have remarkably similar humor, voice, and looks
You're right , fancy that. Maybe Julian Assange could be thrown in the mix .
And third brother, John Fogerty.
We need an ai version
Was just thinking this. Steve had some swag in him
Great idea, woulda been a nice pair
cannot recommend steve martin’s autobiography enough!! to any comedy fans it’s truly genius, and a light on a man that obviously has legend status but not everyone knows a lot about, especially the early stuff. he also reads the audiobook himself!! so amazing
Great! We’ll check it out!
Very talented man. Actor, singer, banjo.
"Never could figure out how to end this thing." 😂
Wow, I had no idea how handsome he was when he was younger.
Still is
What are you taking about, if he dyed his hair he’d look exactly the same
He got better looking with age.
One of the very FEW funny Steve Martin moments!
Such a amazing talent. Watched him since his early SNL days
Crazy to think Steve was never an official SNL cast member!
I saw Steve Martin at a state fair in 1977. I was only 6 years old, and my memory of that night is very minimal. Riding in the back of our station wagon on the way home wrapped in blankets, half asleep... eating cotton candy... and this crazy, goofy guy on stage who was able to cross generational lines and make EVERYONE laugh, me at 6 years old, my mom at 23, and my grandparents, who must have been in their late 40's or 50's at the time. We were all laughing. He is a treasure.
Holup
@@Nexii801don't do the math
😳
Now wait a damn minute…
@@Reddit_Tales2 What math is that?
Entertainment was still so wholesome 50 years ago
"BECAUSE I'M A WILD AND CRAZY GUY!" My mother used to listen to his standup on the record player when I was a little kid, and I never forgot that line.

With Dan Ackroyd, the Festrunk brothers 😂
steve martin is & was such a unique super talent.
In my 20’s i rented this little guest house in tbe hollywood hills & my landlord (old Hungarian couple) told me that steve martin lived here. cool i thought. Then they said it was when he was on saturday night live & everytime tbe show aired he would say “dis u see it?” & tbey said “yes steven!” & steve would then say “was i good?!” & tbey smiled & said “yes u were great” and he (steve) would be so happy
you might wanna do some spell checking next time haha
@@robinvanderpal372 no no the couple was Hungarian
I hate to be a troll … but… wasn’t SNL always filmed in NY? So how would he be in Hollywood hills at the place you are renting, when he lived in NY while on SNL?
@@chase_james he was never on the cast at SNL, just a frequent guest host
You realize the story was, “did you see me?” It’s past tense. How are people this dense and willfully obtuse? It’s a simple story. Sheesh
"I want a f' ing car, right f' ing now!😂
Steve is sooooo young there . I probably watched that episode as a kid as we watched the Smothers Brothers show when it was prime time.
What a multi-talented guy: Actor; Comedian; Banjo Player and Juggler.
And lasso, which he displayed in the Three Amigos
And singer
You forgot author.
Juggler is a big stretch
And dentist
Steve looked REALLY young and handsome here...man had the market CORNERED on TALENT!
He was ATTRACTIVE! Holy hell, I’ve literally never seen him not being a silver Fox. Never knew he was a juggler. This was amazing
Every style of juggling he did I learned when I was in highschool. Takes lots of practice.
What a treat after all these years
His autobiography, Born Standing Up, is a great read.
I watched the Smothers Brothers back in the day. I'm always a fan of Steve Martin.
Gotta love that he can juggle - keeping one rhythm - and deliver his lines with perfect comedic timing. I wonder if he can play the banjo with his feet. 🤔
Thats the first time steve martin made me smile
No, he cannot play the banjo with his feet, only strum it.
@@user-dy7vk6un2p You must be a blast at parties.
@@stevenkarner6872 Steve was born in
Waco, Texas about 1945. Has a sister
but no brothers. Family moved to
S. California when he was young,
and he worked in Disneyland as a teenager.
@@michaelcelani8325 he went to Huntington Beach HS
Multi talented fellow. Wow, and before the gray sets in too. Got so used to that look I forgot what he looked like in previous years.
He's truly a multi-talented man I really enjoy listening to him play the banjo that boy is a picker👍🇺🇲
Steve Martin was and still is VERY TALENTED!
His talent in this clip is in making underwhelming juggling into something entertaining.
@@Interdiffusion You have any juggling videos here on youtube?
@@percyvolnar8010 he doesn’t but others do.
@@peterwang5660 hes a big boy, I'm sure he can answer for himself....
@@percyvolnar8010you must have the hand eye coordination of a 3 year old to be incapable of doing this routine. You've seen what actual professional jugglers pull off right?
Steve Martin, what a person.
He sure is.
Out of all the people, he's definitely one of them.
What a guy! What a WILD and CRAAZY GUY!!
All these years later and still killing it!
“3 amigos” is on of my favorite movies with him in it. So many catch phrases and just plain master peace of comedy 😅
I feel like we don’t talk enough about how great Steve Martin was/is ❤
Same with Buddy Hacket or Redd Foxx.
Nooo they were talked about for years, legends. You don't rediscover them enough.
I'm grateful to have seen Steve Martin in concert when he was still juggling in his white ice cream suit, making balloon animals, and doing the arrow through his head shtick. He was hilarious. 😂 He was the opening act for Earth Wind & Fire in a small venue when I worked for Ticketmaster when I attended school at the University of NM in Albuquerque in the mid to late seventies. That was an awesome show! Steve was WILD! And EW&F was Rockin & Tight. I remember at one point the techs elevated the drummer's stage and had him revolving in a 360° as he played his solo! 🤩🤪🤯🥳😃 That entire show was MAGNIFICENT! Mr Martin was a most memorable part of it! He's a brilliant man. A gentleman and a scholar he is. 💐💞
All, forces of nature.
@@calebclunie4001 Absolutely, Caleb. No doubt. 🙂
I met Steve Martin once. He was doing an interview for his Blue Grass Band at Balboa Park in San Diego. He walked out one of the exit doors at a museum. He was walking with his wife. His exit door He came out of led to a low key courtyard. It caught me so off guard when I walked passed him. I let out an "Ohhhh shit, it's Steve Martin" he said Hello how are you.
I'm only a little envious because I was not even born at that point. But Ticketmaster is that old?!?!?
@guitarfan01 Yes, it is. They had a Ticket Office on our campus, and we actually printed out hard copy tickets there. It was cool. The customer would choose where they wanted to sit for whatever concerts we were selling, I'd punch it into the computer, hit print, and the connected printer would print out the hard copies. It was like an old-school theater ticket booth - very small... only enough room for one person (two if we were really busy). On concert nights, we also had access to the bigger ticket booths at Popejoy Hall, where up to 3 of us had a computer and printer. Oh my GAWD, it was the best job to have in college! First dibs for all the concerts wherever they were held in the city - some were on campus in the small venues, like Johnson Gym (where I saw Steve Martin & Earth Wind & Fire, amongst a few other greats) and Popejoy Hall (where I saw Patti La Belle & The Blubelles). But I also sold tickets for David Bowie, The Eagles, The Doobie Brothers, Tower of Power, Jerry Garcia, The Band, Chicago, Linda Ronstadt, Muddy Waters and just a whole bunch of other greats that played at The Pit in Albuquerque, which was where the UNM basketball team played their games. That stadium is huge, so the concerts were amazing. 🤩❤️ Anyway, I'm going all nostalgic now - and feeling quite old. 😅 Those were some very good times for me. Working for Ticketmaster as a work-study job on campus at UNM was one of my favorite jobs ever. My boss, Gary Golden, was the best guy in the world. I'll never forget him. He had the perfect last name - he had a heart made of gold... he was a wonderful man. 🥰😇
I tough myself to juggle a long time ago but I can never stop… how is that possible
Steven Martin, Dennis Quaid and Harrison Ford all remind me of each other. Like cousins.
Kids got talent. Probably has a bright future.
😂😂
I don't know, he looks too young, people like to see signs of experience.
@@magtovi yeah you're right. He'll just end up on tiktok
I bet this young fella goes a long way in show business
Might even do a movie with Queen Latifah one day, but who knows?
The most talkative comedian ever love him
Robin Williams?
@@reaper2r oh yeah.
@@reaper2r I havent heard much out of that guy is a long while. Id say steve martin is far more talkative at this point.
@@OptimusSatanasto be fair we haven't heard anything Steve in a while either.
@@reinaldopessoa2603 TF you smoking? I recently watched his show with Martin Short and Selena Gomez. You should look it up if you havent. Only murders in the building is a good show IMO. BTW My original post was obviously a crass joke about Williams being dead.
That man never changed a bit I love it there will never be another Steve Martin
Gorgeous and talented man ❤
That voice. I'd recognize it with my eyes closed. Love this man 💓
I still watch planes trains & automobiles, every Christmas eve.
it's a TG movie
Classic
He is so underrated and incrediblely talented
Love him. I met the Smothers Brothers my 1st year in high-school they came and performed there
Just an all around talent, always a favorite.
Steve Martin. The happy Harrison Ford.
😮
😂
Same guy, two different ages of America lol
Love Steve!!!
Had no idea Steve could juggle like this, wow!
And play the banjo and…very talented!
I loved the Smothers Brothers variety show
He's always been a charisma machine. Love this man.
"This is the one that really sends me away talking..." 😂
Was waiting for the orange in the mouth bit!
Steve's the best, forgot he ever looked like this.
Sooo talented, acting AND banjo!
hes a writer and composer as well
One of the Greats. Another Master at his Craft. Been watching him and laughing since I was a child. 😂👍🏾❤️
ditto... Dirty rotten scoundrels was a favc of mine as a kid... RUPRET!!!!! NO RUPRET NOI!!!!! lmaooo
Such powerful voice
I enjoyed watching the expressions of the people behind him. Genuine enjoyment.
Classic Steve Martin I love him in little shop of horrors
Ah yes, the sadistic dentist.
And Bill Murray was the masochistic patient.
Rick Moranis was the Plant's 'keeper,' and even Martin Lawrence's girl 'Gina,' and her best friend from the Martin show were the background 'doo wop' girls in Little Shop of Horrors.
With a collection of talent like that, no wonder that was such a great movie.
Back when he was basically just a writer for the Smothers Brothers.
And a low-key banjo player
Mom loved you best.
He gave his life...for tourism
Almost 55 years ago. WOW!!!
Another famous Smothers Brothers writer was Bob Einstein, who later became famous as Super Dave Osborne.
I haven't seen this film in a long time!
The only time I've seen Steve Martin without gray hair!!! I really dig this guy ❤
He's one of the funniest men on the planet....if you haven't watched Roxanne, then add it to your bucket list, swear I about died laughing watching Seven Martin in it 😆 🤣
Yeah, that is a great movie. Everyone's favorite part is when he burns that jerk in the bar into small crispy bits!
What a handsome fellow he was as a young man!
Love steve martin
Such simple, yet beautiful humor!
It will be missed for a time, before it is forgotten, and then reinvented. 🤔
Absolutely! Glad you enjoyed it!
Holy crap, Smothers Brothers? I used to watch this as a kid back in the 80s. Gimme some yo yo man.
As a little African child in 90s, I fell in love with Steve Martins. He still remains my forever favorite.
'A little African child' makes this sound like a joke
name checks out
@@lumonetic1124 lol
As a handsome white kid I don't see what color has to do with liking Steve Martin. Why do you have to tell people that you're African. I never introduce myself as White American. Are you insecure? Does your continent define you? Nigerian?
@@kevinhope561 Don't believe they said anything about their race in the post.
What a legend. His Banjo prowess is pretty astounding as well.
Just yesterday he posted himself playing one hell of a tune in his banjo... it's on CZcams.
From juggling to movie star. Amazing trajectory!!!
My all-time favorite entertainer, music and comedt
Damn, this really goes to show you that man loves to entertain, Steve Martin will always be a classic
Yup!
