"I took a 9 year old kid to Gladiator and he cried through the entire film... now maybe it was because he didn't know who I was" Can you even get away with jokes like this anymore? Steve Martin can.
@@NorthLVLowRoller It's a kidnapping joke, not a pedo joke. You added the extra steps. And it was clear his Mel joke showed how out of touch he was - that was the point of the joke.
who else is on a Steve Martin binge? This man is just pure genuise and class on all his speech and acts. great definition of entertainer... no politcs no environment no personal agenda being pushed .. amazing
This was the old school Hollywood Oscar monologue, nothing over the top. No sexist, racist, religious sensitive jokes, it was just delightful, DELIGHTFUL. 💃⭐️
Yes. But that's kind of Steve's thing too. Even though he can be quite absurd his jokes are always kind of family friendly somehow. Even when they're not, they still are.
@@annakochkin7693 Billy Crystal was the host for most times between 1990-2005. So just saying that he could only host Oscars and get the company of women only when Billy Crystal not available, otherwise Crystal is chosen over him
"I realize, hosting the Oscar is like making love to a beautiful woman. It is something I only get to do when Billy Crystal is out of the town." 😂😂😂 what a legend
“Please hold your applause until it’s for me.” “I love welcoming the young stars… cause it reminds me of my own death.” “Or making love, ‘are you Steve Martin?’ “ “But it seems like since you got caller ID, you’re never home.” "So I called my friend Giorgio Armani" "Oh, we have 5 hours!" “If Tom wins tonight, between Tom & myself, we will have 3 Best Actor awards!” "Hosting the Oscars... it's something I only get to do when Billy Crystal is out of town." One of the best Oscar openings ever =D
Haha, Steve Martin is great. His description of the dinner party with "Tom", "Mel", "Gwyneth", and "Julia" had me in stitches. Also loved the line about the trailer giving away too much of the movie and using Dude Where's My Car as an example.
Hahahaha. I love Steve Martin, the joke where he's having dinner with "Tom, Mel, Julia, and Gwyneth" was absolutely hilarious, as was the one on Charlton Heston ("Don't talk to him, he thinks he was in gladiator"). Brilliant!
We don't know if he laughed at Steve's other jokes. Not like the camera was on him the whole time. We can say that it took three jokes related to Crowe that finally made him laugh.
I think this was the final curtain on cinema . Just looking at all the great stars in the audience , many who have passed away , wants me to cry on my own for a while , and hope for the future .
Steve Martin is so genuinely funny! I mean, I laugh non-stop every single time he's up there on stage... and I see audience laugh so hard too! There may have been better presenters but Steve Martin got to be the funniest to date!
Great name drop on Paul Giamatti, he always struck me as the actor's actor as well. Sometimes performers like that aren't wildly famous but have a list of critical acclaim a mile long.
This was a bad idea...I am coming down from a cold...and this had me laughing so hard I could not stop coughing and I had an asthma attack....Damn you Martin you!
One of the best monologues OMG!!!!!! I Taped this on VHS cause I knew it would be years until I'd get a chance to see it again... I can throw the tape away now :D thanks
7:05 “At first I didn't realize that was a movie. Because to me "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" sounds like something Sigfried and Roy doing vacation." I died of laughter!
Notice how they didn't really laugh the times he called out the true nature of the industry. He was telling the truth and that hits close to home. I thought this was hilarious.
It is such a precious combination to have a fearless imagination like Steve Martin whilst being such a gentleman at the same time. I wish that more British comedians , nay more British people, would take a leaf out of Steve Martin's book because he is a master and they are not, even if people say that they are.
Love this monologue, but I have to admit that the only reason I rewacth it almost every year is for the pleasure of seeing Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix looking like they're too cool for school. Makes me giggle every time.
People usually think comedy now is offensive and too out there but old comedy was really offensive bordering a spiking fire. Always taking shots at individuals. Something Europe love
I'm in a cycle of watching award show opening monologues
me too ^^
Same here. Just the oscars for me. Just the comedians I love. Jon Stewart, Chris Rock and now Steve Martin.
Me,too!!
help i cant stop
Matthew Lazo me too
"I took a 9 year old kid to Gladiator and he cried through the entire film... now maybe it was because he didn't know who I was" Can you even get away with jokes like this anymore? Steve Martin can.
Best joke ever
thats classic oldschool filmstar joke , yes he can
Fred Kang he’s saying he kidnapped a kid and brought him to the movie
That's a Pedo joke dude, he also joked about not letting Mel Gibson's friend to his house that helps children? Wth?
@@NorthLVLowRoller It's a kidnapping joke, not a pedo joke. You added the extra steps. And it was clear his Mel joke showed how out of touch he was - that was the point of the joke.
"Please, hold your applause until it's for me."
That sounded like something he just ad-libbed right there.
Watch his Tom Hanks AFI award monologue
I could just spend my entire day watching Steve Martin's speeches
+TVB Land what do you mean you "could"? haven't you? i know i have :)
haha indeed I have my friend :)
make it my entire life
TVB Land.....Dude, you really gotta get a life ?
I'm doing that right now lol

Me
Mid 2024 binge... 😝
This was seriously my favorite Oscar monologue. Steve's deadpan is ideal.
Old school....the Best
You’re waiting for the next zinger he’s going to throw, but having too much fun to care.
Steve is so hilarious. His jokes are casual and yet hilarious, and he remain a calm face that makes them even funnier!

Yes. But that's kind of Steve's thing too. Even though he can be quite absurd his jokes are always kind of family friendly somehow. Even when they're not, they still are.
Are you watching the same Steve Martin I'm watching? All that stuff is part of his routines, though not necessarily all the time.
Delightfuuulllllllllllllll👍🏼
“... hosting the oscar is like making love to a beautiful woman, it's something I get to do when billy crystal was out of town.”
Best
Dwiki Halla Stolen from Swiss Toni
Brilliant double-burn.
Also from another Steve Martin's speech: "Hosting the Oscars is like making love to a beautiful woman... I guess."
What's the background story behind the joke?
@@annakochkin7693 Billy Crystal was the host for most times between 1990-2005. So just saying that he could only host Oscars and get the company of women only when Billy Crystal not available, otherwise Crystal is chosen over him
Steve Martin is such an underrated Oscars host but I really love his humor, one of the best.
If you can get Russell Crowe to smile at a joke, then you've won!
He was drunk.
Because it was the only joke that was worth laughing at.
He’d have to get it. 😉
He did that for a reason, Crowes affair with Quaids wife
I get the impression Crowe didn't laugh because he was never sure if he was the butt of the joke or not.
this is one of the funniest of these monologues for sure
So true!
I didnt laugh once but I love Steve Martin so all is well
By FAR, the funniest oscar host ever
Well, have you seen Paul Hogan's......?
Forza Juve
"I realize, hosting the Oscar is like making love to a beautiful woman. It is something I only get to do when Billy Crystal is out of the town." 😂😂😂
what a legend
on another monologue, he said: hosting the oscar for the second time is like making love to a woman for the second time...I guess. lol
How does this have 450 dislikes? Steve Martin is the man!
what he said about afghanistan
Bl4ckBull3t1
also about gays
...and also about everything else.
The first joke
Cause people are oversensitive.
This could be the best Oscar monologue ever
“I was thinking today Chris, that we have both hosted the Oscars before, and this is such an incredible demotion.” Steve Martin 2020
Please - hold your applause until it's for me. Hilarious!
I was so disheartened to hear more applause for Tom Hanks than Charlton Heston. That man was and still is a legend of the screen.
The National Treasure himself...
MR. STEVE MARTIN.
Effortless. 👏👏👏
"Does Russell Crowe remember laughter?" -Robert Plant
+jimmy sonhil 8:11 joke was too good for Russell to hold it in...
Well may be😂
The Charlton Heston line was great.
“Please hold your applause until it’s for me.”
“I love welcoming the young stars… cause it reminds me of my own death.”
“Or making love, ‘are you Steve Martin?’ “
“But it seems like since you got caller ID, you’re never home.”
"So I called my friend Giorgio Armani"
"Oh, we have 5 hours!"
“If Tom wins tonight, between Tom & myself, we will have 3 Best Actor awards!”
"Hosting the Oscars... it's something I only get to do when Billy Crystal is out of town."
One of the best Oscar openings ever =D
Ignatius AW I
We sleep with so many people.
There goes Russel Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix, looking like the cool kids in school....both quite hot in this vid!!
and?
no thanks, i'm good
Okay you're right, just talk about it online sorry for crossing any boundaries
+KK Warslut wtf lol
Joaquin still looks hot tho
This guy is the greatest. his timing and delivery.....and he plays banjo to boot
he really should leave that telephone in his pants 😊
This is what the Oscars used to be. I don't think we will ever get the same experience again.
Very true...
Steve Martin talked and nobody was mad or angry on him, everything was simple and funny
Steve Martin was a very good host.
Best Oscar opening ever!!!!
Haha, Steve Martin is great. His description of the dinner party with "Tom", "Mel", "Gwyneth", and "Julia" had me in stitches. Also loved the line about the trailer giving away too much of the movie and using Dude Where's My Car as an example.

steve martin is awesome, some people just can't go to sleep without being haters
probably one of the better opening acts for the oscars, steve martin is amazing!
It took 3 jokes to make Russell Crowe laugh
Literally
We don't know if he laughed at Steve's other jokes. Not like the camera was on him the whole time. We can say that it took three jokes related to Crowe that finally made him laugh.
Another one of my favorite hosts! Loved: Billy Crystal, Steve Martin, Hugh Jackman and Ellen DeGeneres.
That look Crowe gives is amazing.
"You just made the list, buddy."
I hate the Oscars and I hate Hollywood, but I love Steve Martin.😜😎👍
Im 14 an my friends cant believe he is my favourite
So many of those jokes you can't make today. Thank God for 2001!
I think this was the final curtain on cinema . Just looking at all the great stars in the audience , many who have passed away , wants me to cry on my own for a while , and hope for the future .
Tam Honks 😍
02:08 Winona Ryder...she´s just sooo gorgeous 😍💕💕
HOLY COW BABY RUSSEL CROWE
Steve Martin is a comedic genius. Look at his works...amazing.
Steve is absolutely genius. This holds up even 20+ years later
lol I love how pissed russell crowe looks every time steve jokes about him.
I think Steve and Billy should be the only Oscar hosts as long as They Live. Preferably together.
Awww Joaquin is so cute when he laughs :')
I'm blushing thanks to your comment 😊☺️🤗
One of the most comic greats of our time!
"So i called my friend Giorgio Armani" LOL
russels just biding his time... one day, steve, one fucking day....
mate i proper laughed out loud at this comment hhahahahahahahahahahahahah
lostintimeline this year he won the Best Actor oscar
fighting all around the world
Steve Martin is so genuinely funny! I mean, I laugh non-stop every single time he's up there on stage... and I see audience laugh so hard too! There may have been better presenters but Steve Martin got to be the funniest to date!
I find him attractive, whatever age he may be.
Steve Martin I love you!
Russel Crowe had epic hair back then.
Russel Crowe, best poker face ever
Russell was a tough crowd but he cant contain his smile
Great name drop on Paul Giamatti, he always struck me as the actor's actor as well. Sometimes performers like that aren't wildly famous but have a list of critical acclaim a mile long.
Steve Martin is a comedic genius.
Cant stop watching oscars......im hooked
Happy 70th Birthday Steve
This was a bad idea...I am coming down from a cold...and this had me laughing so hard I could not stop coughing and I had an asthma attack....Damn you Martin you!
Best EVER host...PLS bring Steve back!!
This is hilarious. Steve Martin deserves an oscar for best opening academy awards giveaway.
One of the best monologues OMG!!!!!! I Taped this on VHS cause I knew it would be years until I'd get a chance to see it again... I can throw the tape away now :D thanks
The line about Billy Crystal in the end stole the show for me! Steve Martin is always funny. Hope he presents yet another Oscar.
7:05 “At first I didn't realize that was a movie. Because to me "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" sounds like something Sigfried and Roy doing vacation."
I died of laughter!
Notice how they didn't really laugh the times he called out the true nature of the industry. He was telling the truth and that hits close to home. I thought this was hilarious.
comedians are really geniuses
Steve Martin is hilarious lol.
The 2 Steves who are best at keeping a straight face while cracking a joke ---- Steve Carell & Steve Martin
A GENIUS! A GENIUS! A GENIUS!
Steve Martin is the best hosting these awards, funny, but serious at times
The last times when Hollywood, movies, and award shows were fun and meaningful.
I didn't realize Steve Martin was this funny. Awesome
16 years later and they still spoil the movies in trailers lol
You know that Russell Crowe is uptight when even Joaquin Phoenix is laughing.
if people still laughing after the joke, then you're doing it right
It's weird that Russel Crowe decided to laugh when Steve Martin talks about kidnapping a kid.
That was such a good ceremony! One of my favorites!
He’s jokes so deep I don’t get lots of them
8:12 is such an underrated joke.
That was my favourite, couldn’t stop laughing
Sad part I didn't get it. Can anyone explain?
Gladiator actors looking too cool
WOW, a lot of valid points he's making still hold up even today! LOL xD
He WAS and I hope he STILL is.... AMAZING-SO CLEVER-TWISTY-SUBVERSIVE!!! In his movies, he was SO EXPRESSIVE!!!
Sofronis, a Loving ELLINAS [GREEK]
Why Can't there be Brilliance like this Today Potty humor has taken over "ugh"
8:24 If you Can Make laugh Joaquin Phoenix like that, then you understand why Steve Martin is such a comedy legend
“Ever since you got caller ID . . .”
It is such a precious combination to have a fearless imagination like Steve Martin whilst being such a gentleman at the same time. I wish that more British comedians , nay more British people, would take a leaf out of Steve Martin's book because he is a master and they are not, even if people say that they are.
Love this monologue, but I have to admit that the only reason I rewacth it almost every year is for the pleasure of seeing Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix looking like they're too cool for school. Makes me giggle every time.
Me too,during the commercials on tonight's ACADEMY AWARDS
Julia Roberts is such class. Beautiful smile :)
Well they do call her America's sweetheart for a reason. She's that damn beautiful.
She treats people like garbage. Takes more than looks to have class.
I love his name dropping. Julias laugh is so awesomr
I loved when Steve hosted. So funny!
steve martin is the best. don't see enough of him anymore.
This is so better than the Jimmy Kimmel opening. These are the days when Hollywood was far less political
STEVE NAILED IT!!!!!...GREATJOB
This year's Oscar winners Joaquin Phoenix and Renee Z. are there .
He is simply my favourite Oscar host ever :-)
You must be very young.
3:03 is the beginning of a bit that is near perfect in its delivery.
People usually think comedy now is offensive and too out there but old comedy was really offensive bordering a spiking fire. Always taking shots at individuals. Something Europe love
