Description of Saturday Night Live - The Best of Steve Martin:
No other person has been a guest on Saturday Night Live as many times as the inimitable Steve Martin, which is what makes SNL's Best of Steve Martin compilation the finest of the series. This collection gives us not only clips of some of the show's funniest moments, but also a sense of how the show has evolved from the 1970s. Earlier monologues were rougher, less staged, but absolutely out of control in the best way, as Martin is given free rein to unleash his "happy feet," play the banjo, and generally explore his zaniness. The earliest clip dates from 1976 and the latest from the mid-'90s, showcasing the program's greatest players throughout the seasons--Chevy Chase, Laraine Newman, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Mike Meyers, Dana Carvey, Nora Dunn, David Spade, Jon Lovitz. The beloved classics are here, from "King Tut," with complete Egyptian regalia, to the arrow through the head to, of course, a "wild and crazy guy." Not enough for you? Well, "excuuuuuuse me." Also included are the Coneheads at home (with Martin playing a hapless IRS agent), "Jeopardy 1999," "Common Knowledge" (one of the wittiest SNL sketches ever), and ads for "Rise" and for "Steve Martin's Penis Cream." This collection will satisfy longtime SNL fans and is a great way to show newer fans what comedy is really about. --Jenny Brown
Saturday Night Live - The Best of Steve Martin Reviews:
Not worth watching more than once... 
2009-08-21 - This DVD didn't make me laugh even once. None of the sketches on this DVD seemed like they could be Steve Martin's best. It is also short, and the quality isn't very good. The sound was hard to hear on some parts, and the picture was blurry. There were too many scenes that just weren't worth watching at all, and the few that were almost funny didn't make up for the others that weren't. I might be the only one, but I didn't see what was so funny about the King Tut song. I used to think Steve Martin was funny, but now I can't remember why...
Newer Issue is a better deal than this 
2009-06-08 - If you're interseted in this, then get the 2007 release which has 95% of this material plus additonal stuff, and shows much higher quality post-production.
The banjo playing skits are my favs 
2009-02-23 - A few funny ones and a few more I didn't like. As always some of the funniest bits don't make it to the dvd.

2009-01-06 - This is a great gift for yourself or others. It has ever Steve Martin clip you want to see.

I sincerely recommend this item:
-The selected scenes of his shows will make you laugh a lot.
-You can verify this artist's talents. Certainly, I am more than eager to see his new picture (The pink panther).
