Yes and check out the video from Carson at one minute where he looks at the camera and speaks about how he keeps records of his appearances and how he never repeats himself. 'God forbid.' It's his bit and not someone else's. Steve Marin is timeless.
To be fair, he did not repeat the same joke other than sluggish, and I thought it was much funnier this time around. Its a great bit and he's allowed to do it whenever ever he wants.
I love the irony here!!! The fact that he did this same bit on Carson after having just made a comment about repeating material is comedy GENIUS!!! This man deserves a medal!!
greg55666 Watch it again, with the knowledge that he knows exactly what he's doing, on a surface level he's pretty funny, but there is a seemingly infinite depth to some of his work.
He did a good job of updating this bit from carson. Tweets are very jack handyish. Love Steve so much. Happy he and conan get along- the world makes sense :)
He still seems to have it, its a shame his films havent shown that. Would love to see him at his best again on the big screen cause it does seem he hasnt lost it
Steve Martin and Conan O'Brian...both talented champions of comedy. (Steve knows who should be running the Tonight Show and hints at that with this homage)
+thevoxdeus I think it was supposed to poke fun at his Carson appearance in 1989, when he did the diary skit, but just before, he told Carson isn't it good to make note of comedy bits you did, so you would not repeat them years later. So an in-joke here.
Definition of magnanimity [a real word] [not made up by the comedian in question] 1: the quality of being magnanimous : loftiness of spirit enabling one to bear trouble calmly, to disdain meanness and pettiness, and to display a noble generosity
In the old Johnny Carson bit they said that rehashing material is a cardinal sin. I like to believe that this rehash is a callback to that and if so Steve Martin really REALLY is a genious.
February 15, 2017. I just watched a UA-cam video of Steve Martin being the master of Twitter on "Conan." The show seemed fine. Steve Martin seemed hilarious! Conan O'Brien seemed sluggish in a robustly robotic way! #LOL #TeamCoco
That was the whole point of the joke. He was hitting a punchline based on something he said he'd never do on Carson 30 years ago. The bit is funny, but the underlying meaning makes it even funnier. Sometimes he tells jokes that you don't even fully understand until days later. Dude is savage.
I think Conan is definitely funnier than he ever was. Top of his form. Great fun watching his clips. He should've been the next Johnny Carson. Long live Conan!
Ha, Thats the most brilliant thing ever!! Watch 1:00 to 1:20 on the Johnny Carson appearance! He says something like "I keep the book, to not do the same sketch again...". I'm sure i must have watched the video before the appearance, and redid it because of that line... Brilliant :)
thats what makes it so funny ._. if anyone gets the irony.. they'll laugh their ass off, in fact he did it on many shows in the past, and he did it on conan to see (i think) if people remembered it :)
Yes people, Steve Martin did the same joke on Carson. That was 25 years ago, so I think the statute of limitations for repeating a joke has passed.
Yea but nowadays you can see the two videos on UA-cam in the span of 10 minutes
Yes and check out the video from Carson at one minute where he looks at the camera and speaks about how he keeps records of his appearances and how he never repeats himself. 'God forbid.' It's his bit and not someone else's. Steve Marin is timeless.
That’s the whole joke
To be fair, he did not repeat the same joke other than sluggish, and I thought it was much funnier this time around. Its a great bit and he's allowed to do it whenever ever he wants.
I think this was Steve Martin's way of affirming the passing of the late night talk show torch from Carson (to Leno/Letterman) and now to Conan.
Great interview, Conan seemed a bit sluggish though.
Eh, he seemed a bit robotic to me.
But wow Andy was very very funny 😆
Well his dog died
Think he might be fanboy ing. Steve Martin is one of his inspirations.
I did understand this joke until I finished the video.
Conan knows how to let comedians do their thing.
I love the irony here!!! The fact that he did this same bit on Carson after having just made a comment about repeating material is comedy GENIUS!!! This man deserves a medal!!
Holy shit, not only did he do the same bit on Carson, he told Carson that the REASON he kept a journal is so he would not repeat himself!
haha what the fuck
His sense of humor is often self-referential.
His comic genius is frightening.
Brainbuster While I agree he is a comic genius, THIS clip is hardly a frightening example of it! Give me a break!
greg55666 Watch it again, with the knowledge that he knows exactly what he's doing, on a surface level he's pretty funny, but there is a seemingly infinite depth to some of his work.
***** Yeah, if you cross reference his work with the material his comic peers were making, it blows them all out of the water.
Steve Martin: Trolling everyone since dawn of time.
Yeah it feels like eternity ;)
He did a good job of updating this bit from carson. Tweets are very jack handyish. Love Steve so much. Happy he and conan get along- the world makes sense :)
This makes me love Steve Martin even more. He obviously knew he was doing a call back, no one even uses the word "sluggish". Comical, love it.
I just love how Conan is trying so hard not to break.
He still seems to have it, its a shame his films havent shown that.
Would love to see him at his best again on the big screen cause it does seem he hasnt lost it
Steve Martin and Conan O'Brian...both talented champions of comedy.
(Steve knows who should be running the Tonight Show and hints at that with this homage)
Steve Martin & Conan... the most intelligent comedic pairing of our day.
This guys a riot
Both Steve and Conan got their start as comedy show writers and went on to performance.
Steve Martin: “To Practice Fake Laughing...”
Jimmy Fallon: Hold My Laughs.
🤣
I loved being able to recognize that Steve Martin did a similar thing on the Johnny Carson show. Gosh, steve is awesome.
Magnuminity, adding that as a new personal trait
This man is not just a comedian, he's a comedic genius.
This is a joke he did on Johnny Carson's show. Still a great bit though.
+thevoxdeus I think it was supposed to poke fun at his Carson appearance in 1989, when he did the diary skit, but just before, he told Carson isn't it good to make note of comedy bits you did, so you would not repeat them years later. So an in-joke here.
my oh my Conan has such big hair tonight!
GUILTY
This is his Tonight Show bit with Johnny Carson. Watch the original. It's great.

Oh my gosh how have I not heard of this man before?! Literally laughed until I cried XD
Tori Guise
You've never heard of Steve Martin huh?....Tell me about living in a cave
At that moment, Conan might feel honored for being called sluggish because he got treated the same way as Johnny Carson.
Steve Martin is a national treasure.
In the old Johnny Carson bit they said that rehashing material is a cardinal sin. I like to believe that this rehash is a callback to that and if so Steve Martin really REALLY is a genious.
My IDOL
Damn I didn't know Steve Martin was this funny. But yea idk what it was but Conan seemed sluggish in this interview.
martin was a god in his prime
The best proove is "Planes,Trains & Automobiles"
+Mike J Check him out on Carson doing his "Flydini" bit. You will not regret it.
Yeah, Steve Martin was extremely funny! But at least he didn't seem sluggish, unlike Conan! #LOL
Steve Martin is hillarious watch his time on snl, three amigos, little shop of horrors, even when he just hosted the oscaes.
Great video! thumbs up!
OMG he did this on Johnny Carson as well in august of 1989, it's on youtube
Steve Martin, as funny as ever! Such a great guy :)
Conan (with) Steve Martin always 😂
This is a beautiful way of him saying Conan is closest a modernday Carson
He did this on Johnny in 1988. Still very funny.
he id this with carson. shows how much respect he has for conan.
Bad Gamer6993 comedians recycle their jokes....lol

4:54 "BWAHAHA" Love Conan's laugh
Lost of comics do the same shit over and over again, I think the master is allowed to recycle some material from back in the day.
That was the whole point of the joke. He was hitting a punchline based on something he said he'd never do on Carson 30 years ago. The bit is funny, but the underlying meaning makes it even funnier. Sometimes he tells jokes that you don't even fully understand until days later. Dude is savage.
just saw the original act he did earlier many yrs ago on the johnny carson show !!! hillarious..
A legend and his idol..
conan's hair is extra tall today
+rick ross ikr!
In order to direct attention away from his receding hairline.
He did that with Johnny Carson
I think Conan is definitely funnier than he ever was. Top of his form. Great fun watching his clips. He should've been the next Johnny Carson. Long live Conan!
He did the sluggish bit in 1989 with johnny carson on the tonight show, repeating the material after decades, what a legend
sTEVE did the same gag on Johnny Carson back in the mid or late 80s. Johnny didnt know what would hit him . Steve surprised Johnny at the end.
love steve martin
Steve did this bit on Johnny Carson in 1989!
And, the kicker is, he even ironically referenced that you should never do a bit twice on tv, during that original Carson appearance.
Steve Martin Reads from His Diary on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" - 1989 HE DID THE SAME BIT... funny though
Ha, Thats the most brilliant thing ever!!
Watch 1:00 to 1:20 on the Johnny Carson appearance! He says something like
"I keep the book, to not do the same sketch again...". I'm sure i must have watched
the video before the appearance, and redid it because of that line... Brilliant :)
Only just realised he did the same skit with Carson in 1989
wow i miss the pink pather.Both with Steve Martin and the animated series.
Steve Martin is such a classic. No toilet humor needed.
conan's hair volume in this episode reminds me of his rolling stone cover
I saw ole Johnny's routine coming! :^) It's a good one. One worth repeating.
Andy laughing in the background makes it ten times funnier
He did this in Carson's show many years ago.
So weird that I just watched Martin do the same bit on Carson two minutes ago.
Lmao! Steve Martin is delightful! Hilarious! Enjoyed this!
He did the same thing on Carson.
one of the greats
conan's laugh at 2:06 cracks me up
i call for a pink panther 3
Steve Martin is my new idol
Steve Martin is such a subtle troll xD
2:06 Conan's face deflates
gonna have to re-add Twitter to my phone just to see his tweets
Conan looks like a member of Kraftwerk.
Robotic.
4:05 phil did this bit, Steve, and rickles
He did this bit 1989 with Johnny Carson.
whats with the eisenhower pencil holder on conans desk lol 2:18
3:45 well that was just Martin short on an alt account
my god everything he does is hilarious
We must protect Steve Martin at all costs! He’s a national treasure
This made me laugh my pants off, even if he did it on Carson TWENTY-FOUR YEARS ago!
Steve Martin. Comedic genius. One of the very BEST.
So sad. RIP buddy.
Steve Martin is great. He's my favorite vampire,
Thank u! @ first I was like....has he done this on Conan b4? :P
2:06 real laugh
Conan and his crew are pretty awesome :D
Steve martin! glad to have his name :)
@3:55 - Martin Short wrote that comment. :-D
The amount of win is TOO DAMN HIGH!
Watch the first time he did it, it's actually pretty genius what he slipped in.
HE DID THIS SAME THING WITH THE JOURNAL ON THE JOHNNY CARSON SHOW LIKE A MILLION TIMES SMFH.. the "sluggish" thing
Who else came here from the Carson clip where he made this exact same joke?
thats what makes it so funny ._. if anyone gets the irony.. they'll laugh their ass off, in fact he did it on many shows in the past, and he did it on conan to see (i think) if people remembered it :)
He did this bit on Carson's late night.
Didn't know Twitter was around in '89
awesome!!
Little did Steve know the same bit he did on Carson would end up on UA-cam.
He's done this bit before on Johnny Carson.... lol good bit. :)
That was awesome!
Steve Martin did the same skit on Johnny Carson.
He did this bit on Johnny Carson!!!!
I feel like this is Steve Martin's way of saying Conan should have been kept as the host of the Tonight Show
hahaha "I know isn't that fascinating?"
2:00 he should have reserved that joke for Jimmy Fallon.
She wasn't making a statement about the legitimacy of Steve Martin redoing a bit. She was merely mentioning excitedly that this was also done in 1989.
loved this !!!!!!
He even used the same word
