Steve Carrell doesn't get nearly the credit he deserves. Every joke, every spoken line, is infused with his humility and warmth. Steve, you are a man among men.
@@JohnStockton7459 : I hope you are just joking. "A man among men" is a very well known turn of phrase. It means "an exemplar." One who should be emulated. For example: "He is a king among kings." - would mean that, even among a group of extraordinary people (ALL of them kings), even in this group, he rises to the top, respected by all the other kings as being the BEST of them. "He is a scholar among scholars" - would mean that, at a university with the finest minds around the world assembled, EVEN among this group, he would be respected as the BEST of them, even more learned than the best of them. But the phrase usually does not change forms (king / scholar / etc.), It is almost always just said, "You (or HE) is a man among men." and people are familiar with the meaning.
What's amazing is that I knew nothing about Steve Martin before this video. But not only was Carrell funny, I have a strong impression of what Martin's act was like and what influence he had
I highly recommend watching Steve Martin's tribute to Paul Simon when the latter was a Kennedy Center honoree in 2002. That will give you an idea of what a brilliant comic he is. You can find it on UA-cam.
“with a possible exception of Martin Scorsese” Oh Steve, you won this speech. Steve Carell's the best at presenting, honouring and Accepting speeches. Give this man all the awards!!!!!
I am positive I was at the same show as Steve Carrell! It took place in the late 70s, when Carrell was living in Chicago, at the Amphitheatre, a large, defunct exhibition hall. The show was just as he described: thousands of people ringed around a small stage far below, where Steve's broad clowning was the only thing we could enjoy as the crowd's screams of joy blotted out his words. From now on I'm going to brag that Steve Carrell and I once went to see Steve Martin perform.
Nice speech. I agree whole-heartedly with Mr. Carell's comments. I saw Steve Martin do that act at Maple Leaf Gardens. Playing to a crowd of 15,000 or so, he started with the disappearing dime trick.
DO NOT EVER, you hear me? EVER, EVER put Carrell with Steve Martin in the same level! It’s like putting you and Emma Raducanu at the same level; you haven’t won anything, you’ll never be as talented as Emma, and she is way, Way, WAY, better looking than you! You get me?😉
Yes me too. Arrow through the head. I was too young. Babysitters watched SNL. But his expressions. And then watched him with my kids in family shows. And still adult show. "Bringing down the house" and so much more. Fantastic character 😊😅😂 And sooooo much more. Tyvm to a man who loves to entertain
Literally hasn't done anything good since Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988). But the movies prior to this were of such quality and big part of my childhood, yes, I'll admit he is a national treasure.
I think Steve Martin is the best comedian ever. I think he is better than Robin Williams and Rickles and Murphy and Dangerfield and Bob Hope every single one of them.

He is THE MAN
From one comedic genius to another. Love how his facial expression doesn't change until the last 30 seconds.

@@yorgiramos Buster Keaton's legacy...:).
Add it.
@Bebtelovimab c
Steve Carrel should be honored with the Kennedy Center Honors for this speech alone.
Im sure carell is getting his own show one day. That dude has barely made a wrong move his whole career
Why should he be alone on such a joyous occasion?
Presidential medal of freedom.
Agree
Watch the John Stewart one Steve did it’s the funniest thing I’ve ever watched! 😂
"It's truly the greatest honor of my life to pay tribute to you."
Wow.
for an average talentend and half goofy comic like him, truest words ever
@@MakeSomeNoisePlaylists if this was 1802 steve carell would probably own you as property to rub his feet after hes done with his day
Steve Carrel is this generation's Steve Martin
Steve Carrel is this generations Steve Carrel
Minus the stand up
Haha that’s the most insane comparison I’ve seen in a while
I don't know about that.
Nope.. both are different..
This was perfect because Carrell did this exactly the way Steve Martin would have.
Except Steve would’ve done it MUCH, MUCH, M U C H, BETTER!!!
exactly! 😂
Well said lol. This was such a Steve Martin vibe lol.
When it's Carell you just know nothing can go wrong. This man is Pure. Love Steve Carell.
I'm in love with Steve Carell. 100% talent 100% humbleness
100% Greed!
Steve Martin made me and my siblings' childhood.. He's an icon of the 80's and 90's
He made my childhood as well - he is also an icon of the 70s. A most atrocious decade and we needed him desperately. 😎
A note perfect tribute. So very much Martin's style to a t and funny as all hell. Probably one of the best tributes I've ever seen.
Larry David's was brilliant too. Love them both.
This is true Steve Martin. "Our world is richer because you are a part of it".
My favorite movie of yours is "The Jerk". I am so glad you have found your "special purpose". ❤
Love how Caroline comes up to Steve to tell him that he is suppose to be speaking about Steve Martin not Martin Scorsese. That was perfect.
👍… Me too, I love Steve C’s
Hand-to-forehead and eye squint, as if to say ‘is Steve Martin here tonight’. 😂
MARTIN SCORSESE, STEVE MARTIN AND STEVE CARELL TOGETHER is all i needed to see. I hope Steve stars in a movie by Martin soon. :)
There’s only a few celebrities who can get me to watch these award shows. Steve Carell and Ricky Gervais are all of them.
the last bit was beautiful and emotional...lovely

Martin hasn't aged for a bit, the dude has been gray since the 80's.
He's one of those unlucky guys that started getting grey hair in there late 20's early 30's
"I guess that's the charm of looking like 70 since your 30s". Martin Short said that
which one ? There are 2 "Martin"s.
Maybe not, Is there a Grecian formula for making hair gray?
"Good Evening, it's difficult for me to express what a personal thrill it is to pay tribute to Martin Scorsese..."
😆😅😂
Whenever I’m sad, I just come here to watch this.
Steve Martin and the late Robin Williams are national treasures. Comic geniuses.
Those two helped us get through the drought in entertainment in the late 1970s. Cheers to them both!

3:08 Wow, Steve Carrel actually smiled. He usually stays in character with his poker face during his funny bits.
It's because he had reached the end of his bit. Michael Scott is never off character
Perfect speech and tribute.
Steve carrell and Steve Martin. Wow two good actors.
*_2:35_**_ The expressions are beautiful_*
That was a wonderful tribute to Roland Martin.
Pure genius 💓 love Steve Carrell!
Love the hand-to-forehead “Is Steve Martin also here, tonight”. 😂
Loved Steve Martin and Dan Aykroyd on SNL as the swinging Festrunk brothers from Czechoslovakia..."We are two wild and crazy guys !"
He delivered exactly the way Steve would’ve done it!
Carell is so damn good at this sort of thing.
Love Steve Carell such a funny man!❤
Steve, total class!
That man is just effortlessly funny
What a legend Steve Carrell.
Brilliant speech
Fantastic tribute! I am in awe to see these two comedic geniuses.

That straight face should get an Oscar..
I only see Michael Scott
Same lmao
whos michael scott
@@FrancisSyCoCo wow you seriously doesn't know??
It's his character from US version of The Office
@@TMthe33rd Learn proper grammar.
Steve Carell is the young Steve Martin
One of the best KCH INDUCTIONS ever...
ALL I SEE IS STEVE CARELL GIVING TRIBUTE TO THE GREATEST HOLLYWOOD ACTOR
Yes me too. Arrow through the head. I was too young. Babysitters watched SNL. But his expressions. And then watched him with my kids in family shows. And still adult show. "Bringing down the house" and so much more. Fantastic character 😊😅😂 And sooooo much more. Tyvm to a man who loves to entertain
Steve has evolved to Greatness! but me he will always be a "Wilde and crazy guy!"
Steve squared, love Steve and Steve! 💕
He is and always will be a
"Wild (in hyper self control mode)
and crazy guy!!!
Two of our favorite and goofiest actors in America today... why haven't they teamed up on screen?
Holy shit, never in my life have I needed something, and not known until I read it.👍
He never misses man 😭
Whatever, MY world is richer because you are a part of it Steve Martin and I love you so much for it. Bless you
I absolutely miss this kind of roast comedy. Cant no one take a joke anymore.
Love it when Scorsese adjusts his bow tie! 😂
Good thing for Americans is they value to each other.
You could totally tell that he made that up as he finished that sentence with that smirk at 3:01 lol
I need a Steve Martin Will Ferrell Steve Carroll classic 🖤🙏🏾
We thought he was jocking, and at the end we saw he was just being humble and true.
Jocking?
I like it how he starts off all sincere then veers off and ends it on another note......
If Carell, Martin, and Short did a Three Amigos sequel (nobody will miss Chevy) it would be the gift none of us deserve.
It’d be “The two amigos and the retard”
Rude. We would miss him
@@metorido Fair. Should have said *I* wouldn't miss him.
Love steve Martin. 💖
That last line is literally the only nicest thing he's said about Steve Martin in the entire video.
Prashanth Saravanan only nicest?.... just funnin ya😎
Steve Carell should be touring as a stand up comic... I've been laughing so hard.
0:48 That's a stone faced man right there
Sure is. What the hell is his problem?
That's Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys
Fantastic....
Steve Carroll is a national treasure, and I don't mean it in a bad way like he did.
Steve Carell is also a national treasure.
STEEEEEEEEEVE CARRRRRRRRELL!!!!!! I love him
a lovely tribute
Literally hasn't done anything good since Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988). But the movies prior to this were of such quality and big part of my childhood, yes, I'll admit he is a national treasure.
The first joke is iconic
I am literally laughing as he walks across the stage to the podium.
Yes, I paused this video at :12 just to share this comment. LOL
Steve Martin's smile looks so much like Dennis Quaid's.
I swear to God, I don't trust anyone who doesn't like Steve Carell.
You know you are a comedian when people laugh even when you just walk.
Steves successor right there
I love him, I mean Martin 😘
I love Caroline’s ‘cameo’ in this!
Lovely tribute
When I was very young I read Cruel Shoes. I laughed and laughed and that is a good thing. EI read it to my sisters. I have nine. It was fun
Class!! Absolute Class
Steve x Steve
I think Steve Martin is the best comedian ever. I think he is better than Robin Williams and Rickles and Murphy and Dangerfield and Bob Hope every single one of them.
Great stuff
It's true. It's damn true
Great speech michael scott
What a tight set.
laura bush laughing at the balloon animal VD joke is classic
He's a Canadian national treasure...
If Steve carell doesn’t get a mark Twain prize in five year I’m gonna die
Wait, he doesn’t have one?!?
right, exactly!!!!
In america, honoring a person has literally become insulting that person. insulting is honoring, period.
Yet another Jon Stewart protege showing his brilliance. The Daily Show was almost like SNL - so many comic geniuses getting their chance.
Steve Carell might be th next James bond just saying 😂😂
This was perfect because Carrell did this exactly the way Steve Martin would have.
I love how Steve Carell always has his wife come and help him during his speeches.
Not his wife, wrong woman.
It was Caroline Bouvier Kennedy who is daughter of President Kennedy.
I thought the worst day of my life will be when steve martin dies-Michael scott.
I saw that same act in the 70’s as he opened for The Carpenters. Funniest thing my 12 year old brain had ever seen.
The fact that Steve martin received this award. But Legends like Ric Flair, Don Rickles, and Bob Newhart haven't makes no since to me
Yeah, I don't think we are ever going to see Ric Flair at the Kennedy honors. Wrestling has always been treated like a circus show.
@@osvie0167 true. It's a shame. Flair is one of the most consistent entertainers in television history.
@@joejoebrian1014 I know. His 1989 matches with Steamboat are imo the greatest in history.
Best movie to me was All of Me.
