In the Carson era, they almost never expressed an opinion on any subject, and certainly not on politics. (Carson himself may've been a Democrat, but he never said anything about it.) What they were was a fantasy. Their lives were a mystery to a great extent and their job was bigger than life. On top of all that, Steve Martin was perhaps the greatest entertainer in modern times.

I was only 13 when Johnny left late night but I don’t think there has been anything like him since. I can’t even flip through channels with my 7 year old in the room. TV is not family friendly anymore.

I saw Steve in concert at SUNY Oswego. In 1978. Front row. $7 student ticket. Magical.

@@jimbosaul3996 funny...Close - 1st car in 72 was a $50 Ford Falcon lol. Concert was open seating. Front row. Arrow on head. Balloon animals. Steve had blown up but had to fulfill campus gigs.

There's a lot of history behind this clip. Mr. Martin frequently performed the skit at parties. The clip shown was the final episode hosted by Johnny Carson. The skit was Steve's retirement gift to Mr. Carson. Typing "flydini" in the search box brings up a clip that was shot in the UK 5 years before his performance on "Carson"

no, it was Steve Martin's last appearance. May 14, 1992. There were 5 more episodes after him, 4 with guests

As soon as the curtain opened, I busted out laughing. I have no idea why.

Never been a big Steve Martin fan but this bit was pretty damn funny. Didn't realize his left arm was phony till a commenter posted it!

Came to look at this because I heard Steve Martin talking about it on Howard Stern this week. I watched Carson regularly when he was on but don't remember this. So damn funny. What comedy genius!
