What a shame Steve didn't play a bit more. He's an awsome banjo player.
Steve Martin is an amazing banjo player. World Class!
Brilliant - he's a so talented genius
would like to see more of him in german TV
Hahahaha... 🤣😂😂😂🤣
This is just brilliant, Steve Martin at his low key hilarious and David Letterman just giving it that late night class!
I love this episode, and what a truly great banjo players!
steve martin is a national treasure, so freakin' talented!
Except when he does standup
Yep and a conservative
I met Steve Martin when he was filming Planes, Trains and Automobiles in NorthernIllinois. He was a PRICK to the fans who had come out to see him. John Candy was great! He walked over to the fans and talked and signed autographs until the crew dragged him away. Martin just waved the fans off without a word and walked away.
and A Wild and Crazy Guy too
Nice reward 50K!
Great clip ! I love how Steve Martin channels Jack Benny with that long silent look at Noam ! Thanx for sharing !!
I snicker every time he hands the check to Noam knowing what is coming 😂😂😂
How much fun is this???!!!! LOVE IT!
Awesome. So funny. I really get Steve Martin's humor.
The look that Steve gave him was HILARIOUS!
Such a funny guy and he plays so good!
Thanks for posting this video!
Ach, I love this!
And now with Noam being one of the Punch Brothers and part of Mighty Poplar, the sky's his limit.
Good stuff. Thanks for posting.
Love this!
such talent wished I could have been there
I love how Steve Martin looks at him like "Oh you didn't!"
saw him at the cellar door in georgetown in DC in the 1970s before he got movie famous. top notch banjo player and comedian.
Priceless
Pure Genius.
Steve always excellent!
I had a friend that fell down in P.E. class couldn't get back up found out he had Leukemia and he wanted to meet,
Steve Martin in person then call his Booking agent. just so happen Steve Martin was talking to him same time ,
then call him. Steve Martin drop everything flew down that very day and saw my friend Bruce spin then play Banjos And told each others jokes with one an other. And Bruce got his wish. The next day I lost my friend.

I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. I know he's in a better place, in a body that doesn't hurt, surrounded by love, including yours. and, if you listen for it, you'll hear your friend.
Peace be upon you, and within you.
thank you Steve Martin. you helped.🙏👍🛐
Try not to cry try not to cry
Paul playing Foggy Mountain Breakdown on the intro is pretty cool. Especially since he played it with Martin on the show.
OMG! Banjo to sitar to piano? He certainly deserves a big ole prize. My mind is blown- so was Steve Martins, lol!
Wow--listen to those harmonics!!!
Two comedy Grammy awards, three musical Grammy awards. Not bad, Steve. I liked his book, too.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Great !
I was in england when this happened and one month later i was back in India.
They are Geat !!!!
So is Beowulf …(a Geat)
Awesome.
Great gag :)
Awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👈👈👈👈👀
It wasn't a handkerchief, it was the 50,000 dollar check he just presented to Noam.
Steve Martin is just awesome!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
@@edithbannerman4 I’m blessed. How are you doing?
@@mattgordon1977 Great, how’s your day going and what’re you up to?
@@edithbannerman4 I’m working today. I get out at 8:30 pm. 🥲it’s almost over though. Lol what about you? What are you up to today?
@@mattgordon1977 Relaxing now, how was work? Where you located?
Mr Martin is a comic genius. His comedic timing is perfect.
You're great ❤😅steve
Martin does a great W.C. Fields grimace there.
Deserving of every penny of that check
super funny bit. classic steve.
fuuuuuuuck
mighty fine pickin an a pluckin .
Chain chain chain?
I never thought Steve was that funny , but , he is an accomplished banjo player.
Then you must never have seen The Jerk or Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
Or read his book of essays with gems like “side effects,” “joining Mensa,” and “puctuation.” He just keeps on giving, whatever form it takes, it flows and he gives. He’s an inspiration.
Noam reminds me of Chris Thile the way he looks when he's playing.
My dad and grandpa both could play but by ear never learned to read music but far from it hurting them any they sure could play
2:35
OMG I freaked out so hardcore when that happened. I want checks that do that.
Especially for a video featuring music the audio could'ave been a bit better.
steve should have just replied to that with.. da da dung ding dung.. and a smile
So Much for That Duel Huh...Lol..Awesome !!! :-) (y)
Miss David letterman, Carson, etc.
Barbara Bivens , me too. Hate late night political hacking.
Whoa. That check flew.
Was that Bach's inventions, normally on harpsichord? Stellar! Kudos!
If Steve Martin were not "Steve Martin" .. and approached Noam at a festival for a jam... you can pretty much bet what would NOT happen.
the lick is from the 1st strain of Bach’s violin partita 1 courante double
Down at teddysbarn
Rachel Dunzweiler Oh thanks! 💛👍
word!
PICKLES!!!! During a Punch Brothers show, he asked a couple if they were done eating their fries. HA! The man is scammin' for food during a show. Too cool...and all decorum was lost. It took a few for Chris Thile to get serious again.
HaHaHa! Steve looks pissed!
Fact is Martin is one of the best pickers on the planet.
No. He's a highly talented amateur - not anywhere nearly as good as Noam Pikelny and at least 10 other banjo players.
@@buckhorncortez - Then you better contact the experts and tell them they're wrong.
@@justafanintexas7913 "Experts"😂 The internet is not an expert, it's wrong about a lot of things, ESPECIALLY when it comes to banjo. A lot of things it says about banjo stuff is honestly laughable. Steve is pretty average. It says he's one of the best because he's so well known. Noam is close to being best in the world.
@@MasonCroneMusic - I stand by my post and know that I have facts on my side and you don't.
@@MasonCroneMusic - And was honored at the Grand Ole Opry a few years back and hailed as one of the best pickers. You obviously weren't there and don't believe what you don't see. Here's another one for you that I know you didn't witness - Columbus made it. That pile on the floor behind you is what's left of your ignorant, arrogant ass ! ! ! We're done here.
Noam making sure the check isn’t post-dated.
that sounded a lot like what Ralph Machio played to win the duel in "Crossroads"
Reminds me of Jack Bennys’ deadpan!😂
First time I’ve heard Bach on a banjo.
Great bit, Haha
That's a "Jack Benny grimace"
I'm more impressed with that floating napkin that travels to steve Martin's front pocket real fast..😮
I swear this is the only banjo song i know lol its kinda strange you don't get much mainstream banjo 🪕 music or songs including banjos
"Deliverance" ^______^
May 2020
Think there is a duelling Sitars somewhere down this rabbit hole!
i guess dave didn't notice the check jump from noam's pocket back to steve's pocket after noam showed him up.
I miss David Letterman. David and Johnny Carson were the GREATEST!!!
Me too Mick !
Roy Clark yesterday
Ol' Steve was expecting the Deliverance version.
I wonder how many people missed the check flying back.
wait wait wait... was the beginning the same from Deliverance?
Wow that's what Dueling Banjos is.
Yup, obviously a classical guitarist. Steve's response, quite amusing. Lol
Never knew Steve Martin. Played the Banjo
He's a really good banjo player. Check more YT videos of him playing.
Steve shoulda said “ I’m canceling that check “
1:45 when Steve follows up with the same discordant note that probably was a fluke (or intentional?)
You should see him in the Jerk.
The piano version foggy mountain break down was sick
Paul playing Foggy Mt. Breakdown on the piano was cool!
how'd they pull off that bit with the pocket handkerchief??
+alanna zaritz I just listened to punch brothers interview on the Nerdist podcast. the check was on a piece of fishing line and Steve Martin had a gizmo which retracted the fishing line. It's a classic magic trick.
I think that was the check that Martin just gave him.
You don't say.
The funny thing was, I didn’t see Steve or Noam or anyone else make a move to trigger the check coming back
hahaha
Hysterical, but of course it's Steve Martin, so....
Ah, is it not the good teachers goal to be bested by their students! 😅
Was that a garden gnome with Steve Martin on letterman
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
The banjo guy looks a bit like a young Tom Hanks by jingo
Jack Benny routine
This was filmed in 2010, why does it sound like it's from the 1960s?
Wait what was the pocket thing
It was the check flying back to stevie
dueling banjos is ole fashioned?
Great to see white classics in Hollywood
Maybe unless you're Bella Fleck lol!
no sound
Are you sure that's not a young Tom Hanks?
🤣
Anticlimactic. But for those who enjoy that, this video upload must be a real treat. If u want fun try typing in Leslie Nielsen.
Steve Martin brushing off an old bit Jack Benny did with his violin.....
That was a short duel.
that other dude looks like jimmy kimmel
Paddle faster I hear banjos 🪕
