- Steve is on to promote his new film "Roxanne," offer his take on the worst lyrics ever sung, and try to master the art of pencil-throwing. With Adam Resnick as the victim. Movie clip deleted due to copyright caution.
I was crying- laughing 30 years ago when I saw this. Thanks for the viewing again.
The delivery on the whole setup; Dave listening to Steve explain his own bits to him, viewer mail, etc. - had me in stitches well before the punchline.
He was in the middle of an incredible movie streak. Three Amigos, Little Shop of Horrors, Roxanne, Planes Trains & Automobiles, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Parenthood -- all in a row from 1986-1989.
Also My blue heaven & Father of the bride from 1990 and 1991
3 amigos was a piece of shit.

Steve's humor is brilliant, feels just as fresh today.
This is so unbelievably funny. Steve is such a legend. Its like he’s not even trying. Crazy
If I could go back to 1987 ! Good memories. Thanks my friend. N.E. OH Bob
This was the single funniest bit in comedy history
I've been looking for it, for ions.
Some folks looked for eons.
Nobody deconstructs comedy better than Steve.
Steve turned into Ruprecht while throwing those pencils.
One of the funniest people still working.
What a coincidence! Today marks the 30th anniversary of Roxanne's release in theaters.
Wow. I did not know that. :)
Just the other day, he said "Hey"
Did NBC or GE own part of Arena Football? Heard Dave reference it several times in shows and wonder if he was obligated to or to have a guest related to the subject
Wow it never ends on this channel lol...so much content!!! My gawd!! lol
Steve was really in his element here. Dave was loving it and playing it straight. Great to see them clowning together like this. Hilarious.
BTW 14:04 I think I'll move to a warm climate and wear a pimp outfit like that all the time. Always wondered who that guy was. They showed that clip so many times I got a little obsessed with that guy. Did he ever show up to the studio looking for his cut?
Ladies and Gentlemen, Please Welcome to The Stage, Mister Steve Martin
Came here for "It's the same damn clip!"
Steve Martin is a genius.😛😊😀😃😆✌💖✌💞😝😜
This is amazing.
What does Steve mean by Whoopi cushion gag ?
Michael Westmore, makeup artist of Star Trek, made the nose for Steve Martin’s Roxanne. If you are familiar with the Westmores they are a long line of makeup family: Gone with the Wind, Creature From the Black Lagoon, Breakfast at Tiffany’s etc. McKenzie Westmore has an amazing makeup line Westmore Beauty continuing the legacy 😊 fun facts 💄
I read about this writers' union strike in that new book Letterman: The last giant of late night.
The writers' strike was the following year, 1988. 1987 was the NABET (National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians) strike, which lasted from June 29 until November 1.
Genius.
Still screamingly funny 30 years later (this bit, not Roxanne)
...and speaking of Steve Martin. Might *ANYONE* know where I could find a clip of the time he was on Late Night & about 1/2 way through his appearance he told Letterman that he wasn’t feeling so good & that because of that he needed to go back to his hotel room to rest/sleep it off...Commercial break...Letterman still concerned with his well being checks in on Martin, only to discover that there is a full blown party (with lots of booze/lots of women & alot of cursing) going on in his room instead? Anyway, it is funny as f**k to this guy & if anyone could help me track that bit down, it would be much appreciated. Thanks, in advance. Cheers !!!
Will get to it, probably within a complete Late Night Steve Martin compilation.
btw -- Aired on October 1, 1984, in the 11:30 PM slot; Carson was celebrating his 22nd anniversary in prime time.
Steve was in Dave's office, not his hotel room.
Don Giller - Damn, how the hell did I manage to screw the up recalling the precise details of that particular S. Martin appearance on Letterman? 🤬 Considering that it ‘only’ aired a short 34 years ago. 🙄 Just messing with you, Don. Besides it only stands to reason that part of the show would have taken place in Dave’s office, as well. Thanks kindly for correcting me though. And look forward to watching it again should you be successful in uploading it. Have a good one. Cheers!!!
And you call yourself a fan. :)
Don Giller - Haha!!! That’s 1 point for Don & goose eggs for me. 😉
"And he said unto his children..do not mock or talk with scorn about Donovan or America lyrics , lest ye shall die!"
Good times.
Wait, Don. Was that you at 10:10??
As I wrote in the description, that was Adam Resnick.
Damn. And here I thought I finally figured out your connection to the Letterman empire!
First and foremost, just a fan.
Maybe fan of a lifetime!
Thanks, but I'm uncomfortable going there. This isn't about me; it's about a tv show many of us found extraordinary. Leave me out of it and the show's still there.
So handsome
How come no music for Steve?
This was Late Night, when guests rarely got walk-on music. Only stand-up acts received them. Seinfeld once guested without his usual stand-up and asked why there was no music intro. Paul then explained why (stand-up acts only). Thereafter, I think it was only Jerry who'd get the walk-on intro.
On Late Show, all guests received walk-on intros.
Interesting...great Letterman vid, thanks for posting!
He did get "Walk on the Wild Side" (reference to his Wild and Crazy Guy deal) for the commercial break
12:28
Classic 😂
Este tipo nació canoso !??🤨🤨😱
You mean the guy who wore the bunny ears? What has he ever done except become an accomplished banjo player, grammy winner, best-selling author, actor, playwright, director, teacher and astute art collector?
I miss the carefree ironic humor of the pre-Bush era.
caliente
I adore Steve martin. but Roxanne was a complete bore
