If the rotary phone doesn’t make you feel old, Johnny smoking 🚬 on set should. Seems like 100 years ago. Classic comedy. And yeah, Steve Martin has looked 50 since he was about 9.

@Paul71H 28 күн бұрын

From what I recall, rotary phones were still somewhat common in the 1980s, but they were definitely on their way out, and touch-tone (push-button) phones were steadily replacing them. I'm pretty sure that touch-tone phones were already in use in 1976, but there were probably still plenty of rotary phones too.

The guy from the garage fixing the cigarette lighter in Steve’s car on the answering machine sounds like Frank Abagnale. The guy (former con man) who the movie “Catch Me If You Can” is based on. He was a guest on Carson at around this time and told the most amazing stories. His voice has a unique pattern. Plz, can someone one else watch the Frank Abagnale appearance (first is best) and check this?

Steve was well known for incorporating banjo into his comedy act in the 1970s, and several decades later he did a bluegrass album and tour playing banjo along with a band called the Steep Canyon Rangers. Check out the video (somewhere here on KZfaq) of Steve Martin & the Steep Canyon Rangers playing a song called "Orange Blossom Special" -- it's amazingly good.
