the timing of Steve Martin, is priceless
So true
I’m half black. From the waist down
“But how did Tom come so far so quickly? Well, nepotism.”
The timing of that delivery should be studied in every acting class around the world. Absolute perfection.
2:32
Facts. The thing is, people who know him say that Steve Martin works SO hard to get better at his craft. He got this good... very much on purpose. You're right that it should be studied, but few will give it so many hours as it takes.
The way he said , "Well thank you but tonight is about him" was outstandingly funny. Hhahha
Pete Pan 0.
Pete Pan “
It wasn’t...he’s not a very funny person
@@マシュードーラン holy shit dude. I made this comment 7 years ago and I have 1.2k likes? Had no idea! Thx for commenting hahah
@@Miguel_Molina 7 years later and he’s still not funny...
I love Steve Martin. He's one of the best comic actors.
sad he stopped doing comedy
yea your right
i still enjoy watching plane trains and automobiles ;)
+Averagebum Bum He's a lot more than that I think. He's a renaissance genius. He can sing he can dance he can act he can play the banjo. THE BANJO! I love this guy. He's the greatest.
What a legend.
oh shit it's maxmoefoe hahahaha
***** Brilliant
maxmoefoe ya gay
me too t.hanks
Well thank you, but this video is about Steve Martin
The world will be a less funny place when the great Steve Martin leaves someday. Let’s pray not any time soon.
He is a national treasure

That was the best placement of the word " MotherF**ker" in an award speech that I have ever heard. .... ( and great delivery....ah, Mr. Martin, time and time again, you keep showing us why so many millions love you )
Tom Hanks received a life time achievement award at age 46. That's truly amazing!
midlife achievement award, ftfy.
A bit premature, like when Obama got the Nobel Peace prize.
It was bullshit. A lot of powerful people made that happen.
Most prizes are worthless now.
Considering Al Pacino didn't receive 1996
I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this, but I return to it time and time again for its brilliance, the impeccable timing and delivery, and the genuine belly laughs of the assembled celebrities. Pure gold.
You'll also enjoy his tribute speech to Paul Simon.
Steve Martin is so unbelievably smooth in his delivery... brilliant opening! Two-thumbs up!
he's a genius...him ,robin williams ,martin short are da best.....
Steve Martin got Steven Spielberg to smile, well done.
Spencer Tracey
The spencer Tracy films
Guess who coming to dinner
Masterclass in comic timing
I agree!!! The forrest gump thing was genious !
+Ben McGrath And writing...
Agree. He didn't saturate the whole speech with too many jokes. But every jokes are so brilliant timed and placed in the amusing context......"For those of you actor, who don't know what the word range means". That such sharp dig at the box office selling actors who can't act. And then Steve went ahead make a even sharper dig at himself; his acting range consist of estate lawyer and tax lawyer........🤣
Steve Martin literally teaches a Masterclass in comic timing
While we're on the subject, I still think Tom Hank's best performance was in The Money Pit
I do a lot of public speaking in my job and one of the best training tools I use is watching Steve Martin on various awards shows. His timing, humor and delivery are impeccable. He is slightly irreverent and sarcastic but never mean. If actors pay their agents 5% I should probably pay Steve 5% of my salary. After taxes, of course. 😆
Malcolm's face when the F word is uttered...haha...
He was thinking : Are we even allowed to say that amongst these people?
you mean Frankie....
Yimello Who?
TheGoldcountry Frankie Muniz
+Yimello who?
he meant malcolm lil nigga aint no spy
“well thank you but tonight is really about him” the simplicity and timing of that line makes it funny! His comedic style is truly unique
Steve Martin’s writing and delivery in this tribute for Tom Hanks is, in my opinion, brilliant.
Steve Martin is just pure class. His book was excellent.
excuse me, could you tell me the name of his books?
@@luizrodrigues175 I only know about Shopgirl
@@luizrodrigues175 I’m sorry I never saw this reply! The title is “ Born standing up “
@@konkyolife thank you
@@luizrodrigues175 you’re gonna love it. Won’t ruin it for you, but wow, you’ll be surprised at just how hard he worked
Tom Hanks is the fucking man one of the best actors of all times
Couldn´t agree more!!
+Do M Rubbish
Do M Nope. De Niro the best ;)
@@elestireninsanylmaz9581 What about Al Pacino ?
@@elestireninsanylmaz9581 DeNiro plays himself in every role. 🤣
That there Steve Martin is funny! He should be a comedian.
uhh he is...
and you Lynn
+Mag Ster He was being sarcastic.
+Mag Ster went right over your head didn't it?
rantanen1 I know right? It's definitely a joke that Steve Martin would say.
His whole delivery was really funny.
Tom Hanks and Steve Martin doing a movie together. How has that not happened.
Also, Tom returned the favor this year (type Tom Hanks Honors Steve Martin) when Steve got his honorary Oscar.
Steve Martin, there's no one else who could of done this: So brilliant, ty SM, and for TH wow.. awesome ~
The timing of his jokes! No one could do it better than Steve!!
What a range Tom has, such a huge talent, WELL DONE SIR, WELL DONE!
+Kevin Russell why the fuck are you so aggressive? have you seen the roles he's played? Hanks has far more range than 90% of celebrity actors
+Kevin Russell K dude. I really don't care about your opinion considering how you replied to the initial dude's comment. You can fuck right off with your baseless anger.
Drixen oh i can can i?
Hi my name is Yes she was in Cast away. Bad luck for you. I wasnt molested till i was much older.
Kevin Russell damn you must have been one ugly child.
"this kids' good....i wish him luck".
kid's
You get an A for effort, though...
@60sisthashit Obviously, I care. You fuck off.
@@RaiceGeriko And in an instant...everyone finally knew who the grammar nazi was...on the Internet, all these years.... nice goin' uptight...
Man, both these guys are amazing. Tom is an amazing actor and not just a good guy for Hollywood but a good guy in general. Steve Martin is simply this generation's renaissance man extraordinaire. The guy can do everything. I would love to have dinner with these two guys.
tom was officially voted Hollywood's biggest box office star of the 1990s well done tom
Martin's improv timing is amazing, "well thank you but tonight is really about him."
Some people are just naturally funny.. You can't train for that..
Steve Martin should have awards named after him.
I love the recognition on Dennis Miller’s face. He knew exactly where this going and was laughing already.
You gotta love Steve, what a charismatic guy.
"I'd rather do it my way Mr. Spielberg." XD
I watched this over 50 times as well as Steve's other stuff.
Love all these guys you can’t beat the 80s for launching so many great actors. Comedy was at its peak and don’t care what anyone says they were the the best movies that you could sit down with your friends to your gramma and just laugh.
You're the best Steve Martin :)
and i said to myself....only steve martin could get the most laughs of the night from his most heartfelt compliment.
I want to watch the Steve Martin lifetime ceremony!
Steve Martin is a freak of nature... amazing job on this gig
Steve Martin is such an underrated legend.. how many can pull off saying MF and still get the whole house rolling in laughter..!!!
He's not underrated in any way. He's highly praised by his peers and the general public for his wide array of talents. Btw... "underrated" and "legend" are rather contradictory.
"We're going to honor Tom Hanks, but for an MC we'll need to find someone even MORE likeable...."
Steve Genius Martin.
Is there anyone, ANYONE, who can present like Steve Martin?? My goodness, I'm so lucky to have grown up during his time!
My first time seeing Tom Hanks was in Bosom Buddies!
Steve Martin = Total Boss. Tom Hanks = Total Boss. Legends with well earned reputations.
YOU DA BOMB !! AIIGGGHHHTTT
Frankie Muniz didn't get it.
Steve makes hosting look so easy
You know at 0.36 Tom Hanks is thinking, "OK Steve let me have it, let the jokes at my expense out" lol XD
This is Steve Martin at his brilliant best. He just knocks this dead to the delight of a who's who of Hollywood. What a great monologue!!!!!!! Made me laugh out loud!!
I’m proud of you
Steve’s comic timing is unparalleled.
I wish that there was a way to find these shows in their entirety
Same! Love AFI
Gotta love 'em both. Never get tired of seeing Martin do anything, though.
that's the truest thing I've ever seen on youtube
That was a great speech. Tom Hanks is a great man. And he really does have range! He conquers the kid world with Toy Story and the dramatic world with Forrest Gump. I would love to meet him.
My boss is the splitting image of Steve Martin it's so cool he lets us call him Steve haha
I cannot not watch this.. I must have viewed it 200 times and I laugh my ass off every time..
I have watched this like so many times. Just love Steve martin.
This guy is off the charts. How he wins the audience over in a matter of seconds is just incredible. This speech proves that humor is the biggest weapon to deal with just about anything. My hat off to Steve Martin!✌😃
Holy shit steve killed it.
Wow that entire speech was epic, the best part was whenever he mentioned his genius dramatic and he says to himself "motherf***er"
Steve Martin is a genius in the leage of Robbin Williams.
league? Robin?
@@Berniewahlbrinck "Betty Davis is my faverite." Welcome to the internet.
Steve never fails to leave a memorable impression. 😂
I grew up as a poor black child
Steve Martin = Genius.
Steve Martin in 'The Spanish Prisoner' blows anything Hanks has done out of the water.
Steve Martin is the king.
Great speech
I knew this was gonna be good before I even watched it. Does this guy ever bomb? If you guys like this, then you have to find his part at the podium at an event honoring Rob Reiner... trust me on that one.
So brilliant
They all love giving themselves awards.
The best introduction i have seen
Well thank you but tonight is really about him ... this gets me everytime :-D
I remember watching this that night! Still one of the best tribute speeches ever.
Steve Martin was bloody good!
Steve Martin an absolute legend.
There should be a movie with Tom and Steve
There are some people in that audience that take themselves waaaay too seriously. Martin is epic.
Steve Martin = Comic genius.
"There's no crying in baseball"- still one of my fav's.
that has to be one of the best opening speeches at an awards ceremony ever!!!!.....didnt have to rely on cheap gags, ill-mannered jokes which risk more than offending a few ppl present there and tabloid sentationalism/speculation......just pure classy comedy which had you in stitches.
thats comedic talent right there.....and tom hanks is a brilliant actor, he so deserved the lifetime achievement award!!!! xxxx :)
“Let me give you an example of range..... in one movie I did..” lmaoooo😂😂😂😂
I love this video and I show it to my advanced English students as a topic for discussion. Steve Martin is hilarious and Tom Hanks is brilliant
Steve Martin's band is also pretty heckin swell.
Steve is great
Geez, there is some serious talent in that room. Spielberg, Hanks, Garry Marshall, Robert Zemekis, etc.
when he started to talk about an actors range l thought he was going to say l played a poor black boy in the jerk
2:26 "I'd rather do it my way, Mr. Spielberg" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
How could there be any dislikes on this? haha
Because there's always haters
john doe are. there ARE always haters. ;)
Andrea Goodsell Haters Gonna Hate
there's a guy in these comments who thought he clicked on his shitty music video and instead he came here,,,that's how u get dislikes
"Then in Apollo 13 I saw the brilliance of his dramatic acting..."
Loved steve martin here. Funny, this was a time when 300 mil ment something on a movie :).
Wow. Never seen Steve Martin outside of movies and have just discovered how funny he is. His comedic timing is absolutely spot on
Was a writer for the Smother’s Brother’s show. Many comedy albums. Did all that before doing movies.
This was a fantastic speech. Funny and to the point.
Love Stevie Martin!
@Eatmybologna the specific comment I posted??? it's not an improv act, I'm talking about Martin reacting to the crowd and coming up with something unrehearsed on the spot. He's very good at that
THE BEST opening to an AFI ever, soooo funny
Hey! Look at that! And Tom hanks didn’t even slap the (BLEEP) out of Steve Martin! Amazing! Lol.
I love both of these guys, we need more of them and less of tyler perry or jlaw.
jlaw is a great actress, what the hell are you talking about?
ARKA DASGUPTA she's okay
Definitely no Tom Hanks
Steve Martin is always funny.
There's a lot of people trying to be funny.Then...there's Steve.
I don't get that "Lincoln" + "honesty" joke. Can anyone explain?
I prefer this any day over the "roasting" comedians do nowadays.
Now that’s a proper respect to your idol and a legend in your industry. Bravo Jamie!
