[stylindi]

AWESOME!!!!

[mysteryshrimp]

You've got to laugh once a day. A day without sunshine is like . . . night.

And now, I'd like to do a little something for those in the back row. Here we go, the magic dime trick!

[smbake]

The comedians of today only wish they had one-tenth the talent of Steve Martin.

[sabrinalou1]

YYYYYYEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHAAAAAAA!­!  Go Steve Go!!

[jehovahuponyou]

"Steve Martin plays Deliverance"

LMFAO!

[MidrealmDM]

@jehovahuponyou - The name of the Song is "Deuling Banjos" - and, Although made famous by _Deliverance_, was composed two decades prior to that movie.

[jehovahuponyou]

@MidrealmDM - That I knew, I was LMFAO, at the dunce who called the song 'Deliverence'.

[PerfectH]

"Dueling Banjo's"

[mrlegomovies100]

He looks just like Han Solo

[trckpllr]

omg he did good!!

and

he kinda looks like Han Solo loll

[fezmovies]

Surprised there was no "Squeal like Miss Piggie" joke.

[DogonDrugs]

Hot dang that Steve Martin fello can marry me sister!

[vaf88]

@DogonDrugs hes had gray hair for atleast 30 years

[2boddah]

he was hot in his day

[maisry]

@2boddah

Oh he's hot today! Check out Steve Martin with the Steep Canyon Rangers. GREAT show - I saw it last night in San Diego. They have an album out.

[sooperfukker]

JAY LENO ?

[Masterphonic]

0:48 Count Dracula is in the audience

[jalabi99]

Steve Martin has at least one Grammy because of his banjo-playing (most of his other Grammys are from his comedy recordings)...he's the man!

[Cropredy02]

It was tragic! Someone grabbed the banjo and tossed it out a fifth floor window into a dumpster ... and it missed the concertina...

[nedarbnieks]

I didn't know Han Solo could banjo! Something new every day ...

[Obehbi]

@nedarbnieks

...I do hope you are joking; Steve Martin didn't play Han Solo, Harrison Ford did.

[quixotecroc]

@Obehbi What's he doing dressed like Han Solo then?

[Obehbi]

@quixotecroc

-shrug-

[DethklokMinion]

@Obehbi Steve Martin would have played a better Han Solo then Ford.

[Obehbi]

@DethklokMinion

Hahahaha, that's hilarious. xD

[YaoiHuntressEarth]

@DethklokMinion I'd pay to see that.

[U33C]

@Obehbi Steve Martin, as Han Solo: "Well excuuuuuse me, Darth Vader."

[AllYourPie]

@U33C In a way, all of us has a Darth Vader to face. For some, shyness might be their Darth Vader. For others, a lack of education might be their Darth Vader. But for us, Darth Vader is a big dangerous man who wants to kill us. But as sure as my name is Han Solo, the people of Yavin IV can conquer their own personal Darth Vader, who also happens to be the actual Darth Vader.

Also: That's a REAL lightsaber!

[pennysavior2002]

"Dueling Banjos" is an instrumental composition made famous by the 1972 motion picture Deliverance.

[carolousinclair]

well i never knew! what an education!

[bittersong13]

it's called dueling banjos :) not deliverance.

steve martin is the shit. all i need is this banjo, this banjo and these muppets and i don't need you i don't need any body!

[Shenorai]

It's impossible to play something depressing on the banjo. o.o

[ldkinbote]

:-D

[sinestro75]

A truer word hath never been spoken!

[telsport]

If I t could be done, the Irish would have done it already.

Tom

[krimskrams]

@Shenorai actually there is someone. look for david eugene edwards and his band 16 horsepower - black soul choir... i also recomment listening to his other banjo tunes ;)

[GordosMama1111]

@Shenorai its not depressing for sure but have you ever heard bela fleck/edgar meyer "b song"? i'd say its "deep" but not so much sad..if anyone could do that, i think it'd be bela, though.

[gospelgirl1964]

@GordosMama1111 BELA FLECK IS THE BOMB!

[GordosMama1111]

@gospelgirl1964 thats an understatement but since words cant describe bela i'll let it slide lol. victor wooten is no slouch on bass, either. never heard a bass play "amazing grace" so beautifully. if i didnt see it with my own eyes i'd never believe you COULD make a bass do that!

[gospelgirl1964]

@Shenorai Right?!



[thesilverangel13]

Steve Martin is an AMAZING banjo player!!! And an AMAZING actor!! Love this guy!

[muziekfreak1980]

I agree on the bajo, lousy actor tho lolz

[missyadams]

me too, he's wonderful and so funny

[bigkellyr]

Yeah the music is "Dueling Banjo's" The movie it was first played on was "Deliverence." Steve Martin has always been an awesome banjo player.

[JeffKellySophie]

It's called Dueling Banjos. Not "Deliverance."

[wiseup1000]

No, it was originally called "Feuding Banjos" or "Mawking Banjos", not "Dueling Banjos."  Look it up.

[RealVikingsWearKilts]

Lubbock Lou and his JugHuggers in an encore performance!

[lucasmarr]

its just so great they chose to do the show this way. canceling it the night Steve is to be on.

canned laughter wouldn't have worked with steve and it's cool hearing the cast and crew really laughing at his routine.

2 of the best things in entertainment coming together: Mr. Martin and the Muppets.

[SDMF21]

BRILLIANT

[VonFrenchie]

steve martin is so awesome

[TheCrippledSilence]

Hot damn Steve Martin can play that thar banjo!

[formerfreak]

@TheCrippledSilence yeah, part of his comedy act was playing the banjo like a freak when he did live skits

[gospelgirl1964]

@TheCrippledSilence Have you checked him out in his older years....now....Foggy Mountain Breakdown! Fire in his fingers.

[wwAurelia30]

@TheCrippledSilence I've recently re-discovered Steve Martin. He not only plays banjo, he's got his own Bluegrass Band, The Steep Canyon Rangers. They're really good, too!

[dalebert911]

@wwAurelia30 To say that he has his own band is a little misleading. It is more like he plays with the Steep Canyon Rangers when he plays. I saw Steve and the Rangers at Merlefest last year. Good show! I actually saw the Steep Canyon Rangers a little over a week ago and they are really good also.

[LUNCHBOX762X39]

WOW THANKS!! I LOVE THIS!!!
