    This guy always looks the same no matter what the decade is.

    True comedy is all in the delivery. Steve Martin is the master.
  • Steve Martin is a great writer, comedian, brilliant actor, very talented musician. I believe he's underrated in many ways.
  • @SaltyTowers
    Still, today, one of the best monologues in Oscar history

    There are no losers here tonight-But we're about to change all that! 😂😂😂

    "Mickey, I'm sorry we couldn't get you a better seat, but Vin Diesel is here." - such a savage (and true) indictment of how Hollywood works. A man who's box-office draw carried a whole studio for years, and one of the biggest stars of the 20th century is considered insignificant when he stops paying off.

    Steve Martin is a comic genius. I needed a laugh and came here in 2022 because I knew he'd deliver. He did! LOL
  • @rednasseel4113
    I think STEVE MARTIN SHOULD HOST AGAIN! So much funnier than today’s Oscars.
  • @danielgreff2873
    Effortless master performance from one of the most likable down to earth celebrities out there

    this randomly popped up in my recommendations and I have to say: this is one of the monologues I've ever watched. Steve Martin carefully balanced his set without going too far with jokes and social commentary on just about everything in the industry
  • @Victoria-ni3tf
    There’s always a closeup of Jack Nicholson, and he’s always in good humor and laughing.
  • @jordanb3756
    I wonder if the Vin Diesel quip was ad-libbed. Steve’s face at 3:56 seems like he’s genuinely disappointed that Mickey is sitting in the back.
  • @dddmmi
    Steve is one of those great comedic talents. Effortlessly funny, the jokes are so simple
  • @TonyTube407
    I've watched this many times and it never gets old!
  • @mlchc9004
    Julie Andrews is super special! She never misses a beat her response always fun endearing & appropriate! Classy lady.
  • @adaboBADa
    I believe Steve Martin was the very first person to ever be considered adorkable.
