Go one better. Tell them you'd like your whisky erect. And then look at them like silently like they're the stupidiest person in the world when they don't know what you mean.
Lack of plastic surgery. In Steve's case, he had white hair since he was a toddler, so you never saw white hair as shocking or old looking with him. Not that he doesn't look great for his age. But he's not somehow ageless.
@@wolverineiscool7161 Steve Martin had darker hair when he was young. There's a picture of him holding a banjo with dark hair and a beard from back in the day that went viral a few yrs ago.
What I love about Team Cocos postings: No clickbaiting! The Evlis story isn´t the last thing, that comes up...no...it´s right at the start with some other also great stories following.
Elvis was in the Army - unloading your weapon and proving it safe before passing it to someone else is a military weapons drill - no doubt that's why he did it.
Jesus. It's a general gun safety rule does anyone takes the gun safety class anywhere in the United States all 50 states have this. Fun fact, it's also part of the gun safety video that anyone in theater an d film and television is required to watch before they handle any pop gun.
These are the stories you get after decades of hard work. These guys are making the rounds. No one else is getting these stories. Conan has worked so much harder all these years than even the diehard fans realize
I could watch hours of Steve, Marty, and Conan anecdoting and ripping each other. It gives me a case of the warm fuzzies, as does Conan responding to Steve enquiring whether the fountain part of the Rickles/Sinatra story was true by saying yes, it was a fountain...of acid. Followed by Steve saying "so they killed him." So funny. One comedian leaves another an opening for a killer riposte then builds on it. Fantastic!
I've seen Rickles tell the Sinatra story many times and according to Don, Sinatra loved that gag at the dinner table. Evidently, Rickles could do no wrong in the eyes of Frank as long as he kept him laughing.
That “back and forth” is what made good radio back in the O&A days, between Anthony Cumia and Jimmy Norton. Kinda vulgar often, but definitely quick witted.
I'm not really surprised by that. More the walking through Vegas with 3 concealed guns on him... Ok, I don't think he was literally walking through Vegas, but my point still stands.
You gotta remember that the swaggering Elvis was a contrivance bolstered by Col. Parker... Then, over time and with the pills, he started to merge with the character. I once ran into Richard Prior in a CVS in Atlanta around 11:00 PM one night (he was in town for a couple of shows) and I figured maybe he'd shake my hand if I didn't act too goofy. Well, he did shake my hand but his eyes said "please don't mess with me." It was a 15-second imposition that - with hindsight - I've regretted. Still, I confess, too, that I still sorta dig recounting the moment.
Conan being invisible walking with Nicholson, reminded me of Carson saying that he never wanted to fly on a plane with Bob Hope. If the plane would have crashed, the newspapers would say "Hope in plane crash!". In the tenth paragraph, "Carson was also there".
I love how Carson hated having Hope on the Tonight show because he was not an easy guest to converse with. Carson would try to lead Bob into telling a story and Hope would just reply with "isn't that something?" 🤣🤣🤣
Watching these guys share jokes and memories is almost like you were actually watching Jack Nickelson, Sinatra and Elvis sitting around talking about meeting Charlie Chaplin, W.C. Fields and Humphrey Bogart.
This is so special. These 3 in a room together sharing their stories. Conan's story about Jack Nicholson and what Jack said to Conan-AWESOME and Hilarious.
Standing at the urinal at the great LA DOLCE VITA restaurant in Bev Hills. Finish my business and I turn to use the sink and slightly bump someone. I say excuse me , turn and see Sinatra smile and he says "Hiya kid - remember if you shake it more than 3 times you are playin with it!". Then he stepped up to the urinal and did his business...I'll always remember that.
How cool to be one of these three guys - all funny af - sitting around having a conversation making each other laugh about famous people they've met who they were in awe of, or just stories they remember hearing about other famous people. They're all great storytellers. ❤
These 3 are my all time favourite comedians. Was lucky enough to see Steve and Martin show in Glasgow in 2020, just days before pandemic stopped the world.
Shecky Greene Story: Greene had said something, either on stage or off, that Sinatra took as an insult. Franks sends some boys to teach Greene a lesson. After some punches were thrown and presumably Shecky “got” the message, Frank told them to stop. Greene used the line “Frank Sinatra saved my life” for the rest of HIS life.
I think it was a joke Shecky made about Mia Farrow (Sinatra's child bride at the time)....but anyway, I think they made up as if you watch more recent interviews with Shecky he speaks pretty well of Frank (maybe he's afraid not to??? lol).
One of my favorite things is listening to comedians tell jokes to one another. It's fairly obvious that they all know these ones already but they still laugh to them, perhaps just out of knowing that the delivery is so good from each of them that it works. It's like applause to a great performance.
I always wonder if Conan gets things slightly “wrong” so to entice the people he interviews to correct him and dive into the conversation. He’s such a good interviewer I wouldn’t be surprised if he does that kinda thing
Fully expected Martin Short to go full Brian Linehan here: "Steve Martin: Las Vegas 1971. You and Maime Van Dorn had drinks with Elvis. What did the King drink on this occasion?"
I'm mildly shocked that Martin Short didn't follow Steve Martin's "I was opening for Ann-Margret" line with "And Ann-Margret was opening for Elvis Presley!"
My prayers are with Conan's family. It must be really difficult for him to hold his tears back after losing his mother, who died 3 days after the demise of the father!! What an unimaginable loss!!
A truly priceless conversation! 3 important guys ( really well known!) all debasinging themselves as insignificant in stories about even MORE important guys! Love it ( so what America used to be like!)
Reminds me of the story about members of Led Zeppelin visiting Elvis at Graceland. After 15 minutes the guy came in to give Elvis an out but he waved him off. They stayed for a couple hours and ended up exchanging jewelry and watches with him.
I haven't seen anything about/from Steve Martin in ages aside from checking to see if he's still with us from time to time Wow it doesn't look like he's aged at all
Soupy Sales did that last bit on his TV show years before, only it was Tabs Hunter he asked to come over to his dinner table to impress his boss, who he's trying to get a raise from. And he says the same thing, "Do you mind? We're trying to eat!"
OMG!!!! I loved the last part. You can see the genius of Conan. He knows everybody already heard the Rickles - SInatra anecdote so the he spiced up a little bit :P.
I mean I love Conan, I watched his show every night he is the best. But I can totally relate to how cool it must feel to tell a story to Steve Martin and Martin Short about Jack Nicholson and have the two of them laugh at your story. To me.........thats bliss.
😂. Conan was the best to take over, just sad the ppl in the office didn’t give it time, still happy that this happened and he is more real and he can be more him self. But I honestly don’t watch as much late night shows anymore , Before when Conan came off. Me and my brother would watch him, my brother had cable, his gf would get annoyed, but when I would hang out we watched and it was like a bonding experience, both me and my brother older, but we would laugh at the monologue and just enjoying him. Conan I’d one of the greats me, Dave letterman and Johnny. Conan was that guy, I would stay up late during middle school and high school, loved it. Sleepy at school was worth it, and talk to friends that also saw it and just reminisced 😂
He keeps adding to his story. I believe he shortly met him and Elvis gave that comment, but pretty sure the rest is something he just added to his little story.
My legends from the Johnny Carson show, awesome. I love you Conan and Steve Martin. If I ever make it out of poverty I will share to the world what joy your work brings to people, especially through the bad times
Man... I could listen to Elvis stories forever.....
Engrained into DNA of caucasians for decades
I want my drink relaxed from now on
Sounds like something i would do
Go one better. Tell them you'd like your whisky erect.
And then look at them like silently like they're the stupidiest person in the world when they don't know what you mean.
Martin short is the gayest man on earth right?
Scotch ? SCOTCH??? 😂
Jack ain’t Scotch!
Steve Martin is one of those people that just look the same no matter how much he ages.
because he's had white hair from when he was like 15
Lack of plastic surgery.
In Steve's case, he had white hair since he was a toddler, so you never saw white hair as shocking or old looking with him.
Not that he doesn't look great for his age. But he's not somehow ageless.

The Elvis* story isn't* ...
Just subscribed because of that detail!
Elvis was in the Army - unloading your weapon and proving it safe before passing it to someone else is a military weapons drill - no doubt that's why he did it.
Every single responsible firearm owner on the planet does this, prior military or not.
@@PtotheMtotheK Yeah, keyword "responsible". There are many idiots out there...
Who the hell would hand someone a loaded weapon? 🫤

That Jack Nicholson story was amazing. It’s like the man lives in a movie.
Adam Sandler has a really funny one about going to a Lakers game with him.
Everyone wants to be James Dean.
Conan should have sent his agent a promo box full of mugs and clothing and signed 8x10's with a note saying it's for his kid.
Nicholson believes his own hype; he's so tiresome.
Steve Martin in the room an they talk about meeting legends? Surreal. Steve Martin is one of the legends legends.
My love for Steve Martin is boundless, but he’s not at the level of Sinatra or Elvis. That’s like Michael Jackson levels of fame.
@@maxducoudray yep

Seriously. I think this one of my very favorite episodes.

Conan, "Yeah they did, he never lived past 1961"
That “back and forth” is what made good radio back in the O&A days, between Anthony Cumia and Jimmy Norton. Kinda vulgar often, but definitely quick witted.
they suck
I totally imagined Elvis flexing in front of Steve.
Same here. 💪
Same sounding like Johnny bravo “check the pects baby”
Honestly, I'm slightly disappointed that that wasn't the case. 😂
I saw the title and was like, “Ok, this’ll be rich.”
Two minutes in, “Oh… like actual guns?… I mean, ok! Cool!”
Haha
Because he was a hunk a hunk of burning love?
Hearing these guys talk about the old days, and meeting their idols, helps me getaway from the problems of today. Thanks.
👋😊
really?
Me too
I'm glad, and mildly surprised, to learn that Elvis practiced proper gun safety.
I'm not really surprised by that. More the walking through Vegas with 3 concealed guns on him... Ok, I don't think he was literally walking through Vegas, but my point still stands.

Elvis was in the army, he probably learned gun safety there.
Until he's watching a TV show he doesn't like.
@@WillBravoNotEvil Are you saying that Elvis' manner on and off stage was something that Colonel Parker invented? First that I have heard about this.

James Cordon made a similar joke in a segment where he was skydiving with Tom Cruise. "If we both die... I will get zero press."
@@kowalski5599Sounds a little like Norm on Conan's show ;)
Similar to Tracey Ullman in her tribute to Meryl Streep at the AFI
Steve was friends with Elvis back-up singer Kathy Westmoreland. They worked together at Knotts Berry Farm in the late 60s.
Elvis is famous to famous people
Watching these guys share jokes and memories is almost like you were actually watching Jack Nickelson, Sinatra and Elvis sitting around talking about meeting Charlie Chaplin, W.C. Fields and Humphrey Bogart.
Great analogy !
👊🏽💥🫵🏽

Love all three of them together. Great vid.
These are the stories that can only be told when 3 legends come together in the same room. Glorious
This last year's Saturday night live stuff was solid. Some of these two s best. But be better 😂❤
Such great stories. Larger than life people. Imagine will people have stories about these guys when they are long gone.
They already do.
@@KennyRider137 I am talking about Steve and Marty and no they don't
Rickles getting beat up in dark alley. Frank Sinatra walks up and says, that's enough.😂
Man, this hit the spot out of nowhere for me. I literally could not stop laughing long after the video was over. Love these guys.

I worked for Elvis’ guitar player, James Burton, for years. I’ve heard some amazing Elvis stories. This is a great one too.

Which is a good thing for a podcast.

Three of the funniest people on the planet.
Getting to meet THE KING and OL BLUE EYES woulda made my life complete!! 😃🤩

I love all these fellows. I can’t believe life fast forwarded and we are all old now.
😂😂 I laughed at this story about Elvis.. holding three guns and he’s holding 16 bullets

Amazing how these guys are talking about Elvis and Sinatra the way people today talk about Martin and Short today, absolute legends.
I believe Martin Short is wearing his Order of Canada pin. Nice.
He is a proud Canadian :)
He is. They cost C $12.00 on ebay.
Steve Martin, Martin Short, Conan O'Brien - three funny, good, and delightful guys!
So much love between those two guys. Lucky they found their best friend.
I always wonder if Conan gets things slightly “wrong” so to entice the people he interviews to correct him and dive into the conversation. He’s such a good interviewer I wouldn’t be surprised if he does that kinda thing
Yeah I guessed so aswell. Especially because Martin Short has told his Sinatra story so many times, even on Conans talkshow.
“I’ll have it relaxed”
That Nicholson impression was top tier
The biggest names in the world were all star-strucked upon meeting Elvis. He is the goat of entertainment.
This is comedy heaven.
So enjoyable. Thank you.
I would happily pay a monthly fee to have access to all Conan O'brien Needs a Friend full video episodes.
I'll take it relaxed😂
Conan and Jack end of the night, gold.
Great stuff thanks Conan and partners.
Fully expected Martin Short to go full Brian Linehan here:
"Steve Martin: Las Vegas 1971. You and Maime Van Dorn had drinks with Elvis. What did the King drink on this occasion?"
Elvis did not drink alcohol.
Elvis did not drink alcohol.
I interpreted this title as he showed Steve Martin his biceps.
Imagine being so legendary like these guys and a single night with Nicholson makes everyone in the room shift positions in their seats
The CBS News website has a photo of Ann-Margret on stage in Vegas from 1971 titled: "Ann-Margret performs on stage in Las Vegas, September 30, 1971".
Having the ad at the beginning: much better than at the middle. Also, it seems to be shorter than before, which is MUCH better.
Ad? Oh, you mean those things I zip the video past.
Marty really doesn't drink scotch. Jack Daniels is a sour mash whiskey.
I wondered if he did that on purpose…
Jack Daniels is relaxed scotch.
I'm mildly shocked that Martin Short didn't follow Steve Martin's "I was opening for Ann-Margret" line with "And Ann-Margret was opening for Elvis Presley!"
😕
Steve Martin is 78 years old and looks 58 incredible
And plays a mean banjo
My prayers are with Conan's family. It must be really difficult for him to hold his tears back after losing his mother, who died 3 days after the demise of the father!! What an unimaginable loss!!
This is incredible...
Steve is holding an empty gun while he has an arrow through his head
That was a Don Rickles joke. One of my favorite jokes of all time. "Alright... that's enough."
It’s pretty funny Martin Short calls Jack Daniel’s “scotch”
Yeah, so we really know he is not lying here, haha.
Great episode 😂😂😂
I prefer the ad at the top of the vid vs interrupting the flow/vibe. Good change!

I will always have 100% time for this story lol

Watching this made me wonder when Hollywood was going to remake Cocoon.
Ooo, maybe Conan's company could make it and call it Coco's Cocoon.

Hard to imagine Martin Short being nervous in front of another person. Normally it's the other way around I'd assume. Must've been a sight to behold😂
Steve Martin's unformed 1971 act:
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Well, excuuuuuuuuuse meeeeeeee! Thank you, good night!"
I love these stories!
He keeps adding to his story.

I’m gonna start ordering Jack Daniels “Scotch” from now on, will make sure to order it *RELAXED* 😅
I once saw the weekend weatherman at the local walmart.
What a great story ❤
