What Happened When Steve Martin Met Elvis Presley

[@alanw505]

How incredibly famous was Elvis that future superstars from every walk of life proudly tell their "meeting Elvis" story as if that's one of the greatest moments of their lives.

[@braydenfletcher8159]

I remember hearing Paul McCartney recall meeting Elvis with John, George and Ringo. Even Paul was awestruck meeting The King and this was in the later half of the 60's so The Beatles were absolutely massive when this happened.

Until the end of time...Elvis will always be one of the most famous people in human history. He gave the world so much and asked for so little in return.

[@kenrod8378]

The most amazing thing about the Elvis story is his huge outsized life was all lived in about a twenty year period. Then he was gone...and he is still the most known person on earth.

[@bradhuskers]

100% correct. in a very very short career, he left behind critically acclaimed recordings in multiple genres of music. truly remarkable

Thank you Steve Martin for your funny, yet respectful story about Elvis. Stern, naturally wanted to take it in another direction, but you didn't let him. Kudos to you and I knew I always loved you and your wit...oblique or not!

[@HomeAtLast501]

I didn't understand why Stern was laughing.

“Son you have an oblique sense of humor.” - Elvis is the greatest

[@See-what-is]

Elvis had something very outwordly about him. He was almost from another planet. He was the King.

[@itheuserfirst3186]

He seemed exceptionally comfortable in his own skin, which is not something most of us can say.

[@Cloud007.]

The word you're looking for is otherworldly.

[@bulleranse8323]

And a bit immature

[@CooManTunes]

In 1969, someone asked him if there was anyone else he'd rather be, and he said, 'You kidding?'. If I were him, I would've said the same thing. He knew what he had. Depression doesn't care, though. It'll take you away, if you let it.

[@TheGeneral_LUFC]

He really was.

[@onlyiforgive5083]

He had someone to get him away from talking to people but wanted to stay with Steve, what a Dam honour

[@roger1976]

Find the Alice Cooper story, its hilarious too. There was another famous lady that met Elvis at the same time and she tells the same story as Alice so it makes that much better. I think it was Liza Minelli but I could be mistaken. If not it may have been Elizabeth Taylor, I always get them 2 mixed up for some reason
