Carrell was perfect for this. The idiot savant line is so absolutely Steve Martin. Seems so simple, but that was Steve's brilliance and Carrell captured it perfectly.
I'd like to see my mans Eddie Murphy get this award! His career spans over 30 years, and entails hits that add up to an amount that most in his field can't claim.
That was Bush being magnanimous and cordial to his guest, something I could not do with this character. His comedy eludes me. The man is NOT funny, rather pathetic. I think his characterizations in the IDIOT should have been recognized for what it really was, a dramatic autobiography. When he is choreographed, he is okay (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) but decidedly not funny doing his own material.

From stand-up comedy, to acting, writing, books, and plays. Steve Martin is one of the funniest and most gifted performers of our generation.

Interesting to hear "Comedy Tonight" playing at the beginning!
It was also played when Carl Reiner came out to introduce for Mel Brooks tribute.
Can we talk about how it looks like Jr. turned at the intro like "Um, wait, that's the wrong Martin, isn't it??"
Amazing-do you have the second part?
He has paintings is musuems yes?
What a life. And we are all the richer for having been along for the ride.
what's the opening music?
+HaWkBeAtLeSnElSoN It's "Comedy Tonight" from Stephen Sondheim's musical "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum".
ain't that the truth!
Look at Bush, pretending to understand the jokes
