Take a few minutes to watch Steve Martin's very funny appearance on a 1984 episode of Late Night with David Letterman, now streaming on Letterman's YouTube channel.
launched earlier this month, streaming a collection of the host’s interviews and regular comedy bits that grows by the day. It gives anybody who missed Letterman’s 33 years in late night some insight into why he’s considered such an important figure in comedy, while letting long-time fans relive moments that they might have forgotten.
Steve Martin’s a little goofier than Letterman, a little more eager to please, more California to Dave’s Indiana, but they still share a lot in common when it comes to comedy. They both acknowledge the fundamental insincerity of the entertainment business and its lack of substance. Martin often glories in the shallowness of entertainment, using it as an opportunity to be as silly and over-the-top as he can get.
A number of Martin’s appearances on Letterman’s shows are now on that YouTube channel, but there’s one in particular that you really need to watch. In this bit from February 9, 1984, Martin shares his collection of priceless Chinese ceramics with the audience before taking it to the Met for an exhibit. Even if the YouTube title didn’t spoil what happens, you’d probably be able to guess just by hearing that setup.
