I met Steve Martin when he was filming Planes, Trains and Automobiles in NorthernIllinois. He was a PRICK to the fans who had come out to see him. John Candy was great! He walked over to the fans and talked and signed autographs until the crew dragged him away. Martin just waved the fans off without a word and walked away.
I had a friend that fell down in P.E. class couldn't get back up found out he had Leukemia and he wanted to meet, Steve Martin in person then call his Booking agent. just so happen Steve Martin was talking to him same time , then call him. Steve Martin drop everything flew down that very day and saw my friend Bruce spin then play Banjos And told each others jokes with one an other. And Bruce got his wish. The next day I lost my friend.
Greg Lawless I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. I know he's in a better place, in a body that doesn't hurt, surrounded by love, including yours. and, if you listen for it, you'll hear your friend. Peace be upon you, and within you. thank you Steve Martin. you helped.🙏👍🛐
Or read his book of essays with gems like “side effects,” “joining Mensa,” and “puctuation.” He just keeps on giving, whatever form it takes, it flows and he gives. He’s an inspiration.
@@justafanintexas7913 "Experts"😂 The internet is not an expert, it's wrong about a lot of things, ESPECIALLY when it comes to banjo. A lot of things it says about banjo stuff is honestly laughable. Steve is pretty average. It says he's one of the best because he's so well known. Noam is close to being best in the world.

+alanna zaritz I just listened to punch brothers interview on the Nerdist podcast. the check was on a piece of fishing line and Steve Martin had a gizmo which retracted the fishing line. It's a classic magic trick.
@@johnshanesyandtheaccommoda1189 I understand your concern being a musician. No insult intended. I have a passion for playing guitar and have been playing for 40 years. I do think I'm not as good as a lot of other musicians out there but do appreciate playing on all levels from beginner to expert. That is what I was trying to convey. Not putting anyone down.

Steve Martin is an amazing banjo player. World Class!
I love this episode, and what a truly great banjo players!
What a shame Steve didn't play a bit more. He's an awsome banjo player.
Great clip ! I love how Steve Martin channels Jack Benny with that long silent look at Noam ! Thanx for sharing !!
steve martin is a national treasure, so freakin' talented!
Except when he does standup
Yep and a conservative

and A Wild and Crazy Guy too
Nice reward 50K!
Thanks for posting this video!
saw him at the cellar door in georgetown in DC in the 1970s before he got movie famous. top notch banjo player and comedian.
I snicker every time he hands the check to Noam knowing what is coming 😂😂😂
I was in england when this happened and one month later i was back in India.
The look that Steve gave him was HILARIOUS!
Such a funny guy and he plays so good!
And now with Noam being one of the Punch Brothers and part of Mighty Poplar, the sky's his limit.
Awesome. So funny. I really get Steve Martin's humor.
Paul playing Foggy Mountain Breakdown on the intro is pretty cool. Especially since he played it with Martin on the show.
Steve Martin is just awesome!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

@@mattgordon1977 Relaxing now, how was work? Where you located?
I love how Steve Martin looks at him like "Oh you didn't!"
Hahahaha... 🤣😂😂😂🤣
This is just brilliant, Steve Martin at his low key hilarious and David Letterman just giving it that late night class!
They are Geat !!!!
So is Beowulf …(a Geat)
Brilliant - he's a so talented genius
would like to see more of him in german TV

Try not to cry try not to cry
such talent wished I could have been there
Two comedy Grammy awards, three musical Grammy awards. Not bad, Steve. I liked his book, too.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
You're great ❤😅steve
Steve always excellent!
Wow--listen to those harmonics!!!
Love this!
Ach, I love this!
How much fun is this???!!!! LOVE IT!
Awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👈👈👈👈👀
Pure Genius.
Mr Martin is a comic genius. His comedic timing is perfect.
1:45 when Steve follows up with the same discordant note that probably was a fluke (or intentional?)
OMG! Banjo to sitar to piano? He certainly deserves a big ole prize. My mind is blown- so was Steve Martins, lol!
I never thought Steve was that funny , but , he is an accomplished banjo player.
Then you must never have seen The Jerk or Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
Or read his book of essays with gems like “side effects,” “joining Mensa,” and “puctuation.” He just keeps on giving, whatever form it takes, it flows and he gives. He’s an inspiration.
It wasn't a handkerchief, it was the 50,000 dollar check he just presented to Noam.
I hope if anyone wants to fuck around and find out that the old rebel call comes back!!!!! Sends chills down their spines as they running
Great !
Good stuff. Thanks for posting.
Fact is Martin is one of the best pickers on the planet.
No. He's a highly talented amateur - not anywhere nearly as good as Noam Pikelny and at least 10 other banjo players.
@@buckhorncortez - Then you better contact the experts and tell them they're wrong.

Whoa. That check flew.
Was that Bach's inventions, normally on harpsichord? Stellar! Kudos!
Priceless
Miss David letterman, Carson, etc.
Barbara Bivens , me too. Hate late night political hacking.
If Steve Martin were not "Steve Martin" .. and approached Noam at a festival for a jam... you can pretty much bet what would NOT happen.
Noam making sure the check isn’t post-dated.
My dad and grandpa both could play but by ear never learned to read music but far from it hurting them any they sure could play
the lick is from the 1st strain of Bach’s violin partita 1 courante double
Down at teddysbarn
Rachel Dunzweiler Oh thanks! 💛👍
word!
wait wait wait... was the beginning the same from Deliverance?
Wow that's what Dueling Banjos is.
Especially for a video featuring music the audio could'ave been a bit better.
I swear this is the only banjo song i know lol its kinda strange you don't get much mainstream banjo 🪕 music or songs including banjos
I'm more impressed with that floating napkin that travels to steve Martin's front pocket real fast..😮
Deserving of every penny of that check
PICKLES!!!! During a Punch Brothers show, he asked a couple if they were done eating their fries. HA! The man is scammin' for food during a show. Too cool...and all decorum was lost. It took a few for Chris Thile to get serious again.
2:35
OMG I freaked out so hardcore when that happened. I want checks that do that.
Awesome.
Reminds me of Jack Bennys’ deadpan!😂
Noam reminds me of Chris Thile the way he looks when he's playing.
I wonder how many people missed the check flying back.
May 2020
This was filmed in 2010, why does it sound like it's from the 1960s?
Martin does a great W.C. Fields grimace there.
fuuuuuuuck
mighty fine pickin an a pluckin .
Chain chain chain?
Roy Clark yesterday
i guess dave didn't notice the check jump from noam's pocket back to steve's pocket after noam showed him up.
Great gag :)
I miss David Letterman. David and Johnny Carson were the GREATEST!!!
Me too Mick !
Think there is a duelling Sitars somewhere down this rabbit hole!
that sounded a lot like what Ralph Machio played to win the duel in "Crossroads"
Never knew Steve Martin. Played the Banjo
He's a really good banjo player. Check more YT videos of him playing.
Was that a garden gnome with Steve Martin on letterman
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
super funny bit. classic steve.
dueling banjos is ole fashioned?
Wait what was the pocket thing
It was the check flying back to stevie
no sound
So Much for That Duel Huh...Lol..Awesome !!! :-) (y)
how'd they pull off that bit with the pocket handkerchief??
+alanna zaritz I just listened to punch brothers interview on the Nerdist podcast. the check was on a piece of fishing line and Steve Martin had a gizmo which retracted the fishing line. It's a classic magic trick.
I think that was the check that Martin just gave him.
You don't say.
The funny thing was, I didn’t see Steve or Noam or anyone else make a move to trigger the check coming back
That's a "Jack Benny grimace"
First time I’ve heard Bach on a banjo.
Ol' Steve was expecting the Deliverance version.
Yup, obviously a classical guitarist. Steve's response, quite amusing. Lol
steve should have just replied to that with.. da da dung ding dung.. and a smile
Steve shoulda said “ I’m canceling that check “
You should see him in the Jerk.
Paul playing Foggy Mt. Breakdown on the piano was cool!
The piano version foggy mountain break down was sick
Great bit, Haha
Wtf was that??? He gave up before the song even got started....
It wasn't about the song. It was about Steve getting outdueled and magically taking the check back.
Are you sure that's not a young Tom Hanks?
Great to see white classics in Hollywood
"Deliverance" ^______^
Anticlimactic. But for those who enjoy that, this video upload must be a real treat. If u want fun try typing in Leslie Nielsen.
The banjo guy looks a bit like a young Tom Hanks by jingo
Ah, is it not the good teachers goal to be bested by their students! 😅
I think Noam is a better banjo player than Steve.
No real musician ever says sh*t like this. They both have a passion for an instrument, it’s not a competition.

Hysterical, but of course it's Steve Martin, so....
HaHaHa! Steve looks pissed!
Jack Benny routine
Wish the guys had played all the tune. Feel cheated.
Steve Martin brushing off an old bit Jack Benny did with his violin.....
That was a short duel.
that other dude looks like jimmy kimmel
