SNL has changed and so has that style of quirky comedy with such an interesting brew of comedic actors. As young as I was, I understood the humor of the Jerk and along with Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is still one of my favorite Steve Martin films.

It was 1980, I believe, when I saw The Jerk for the first time. I was 10. About 2 years before this I had snuck my dad's copy of Steve Martin's, Let's Get Small, album and had listened to it so many times, I had it memorized. It got me through some tough times in my childhood. So I was very excited when The Jerk premiered. I have seen it at least 50 times. But after that first time, every year when my Birthday comes around, I always have a Twinkie and a Tab. I have done that for nearly 40 years. Last year, the only store I had known to still sell Tab, stopped selling it. So for the first time, since I was 10 years old, I was not able to have that Tab with my Twinkie. Probably never will again. Wow...that was long.

Steve Martin just gets better with every movie he makes. I actaully thing his straight roles are pretty fantastic. LA story is a classic.

I think he forgot to mention that the buffalo counter was on rodeo drive. Makes it a little funnier.

My favorite comedy of all time. Growing up, it was like Steve Martin was a member of our family/ We'd play his albums all the time. Jesus, Tommy Lasorda, Pete Rose, Steve Martin.

Another great subtle bit is he gets a ride in a pick up truck. But he stays in the back while his dog rides inside the cab.

I was chatting with John Mayall (great Blues musician) one day describing how I got into Blues and referred to this movie. I had grown up with mainly classical (my mother was a professional concert pianist) and big band music (my father's favorite). I said, "Remember in the movie 'The Jerk" where Navin hears this white bread music on the radio and says 'There must be more of this out there.' Well, I went to a friend's house and he played your album 'The Blues Alone' and also a Butterfield Blues album and I thought, 'There must be more of this out there.'"

This was brilliant. Around 2008 I ended up going with an older friend to his friends house - Carl. There was a huge poster of "Jaws". Shit. I knew who this was. I immediately said, "F Jaws - you co-wrote THE JERK!". He lit up and signed his own old copy of "The Jerk" Novelization book (all he had that he could find at home at the moment! He was much happier to hear I knew him from "The Jerk" than "Jaws" like everyone else. And I got to hear so much of this stuff from him! Yes, that opening line DID come from his stand-up, and when they first sat together, they had no idea what the story would be so they did exactly as Steve described. Carl was a gentlemen, Steve was a gentlemen (I worked with him on a film and he wrote me an unsolicited personal thank you note - a true class act). And Carl REINER - well, he's just brilliant and a world treasure. Anyway, I'm glad to have found Steve talking about the Reiner films - especially this one. As Lorne Michaels knows, "Steve hung up his white suit years ago". So it was wonderful to see SM talk about it. Thanks AFI! P.S. Only thing is, it was Lyle Ritz who played the final track you actually hear on "You Belong to Me" - Steve may have learned to play the uke (you can tune it like a banjo so it shouldn't have been too hard for him to learn to strum), but the actual final ukulele track is by the professional Lyle Ritz. I just hoped Steve gave a shout out since he should have known that...

Lynn Turman Carl Gottlieb is the man I was talking about. Co-wrote Jaws and The Jerk. Had I been to Carl Reiner's home, he would have been instantly recognizable of course!

That scene in the gas station men's room where Navin was already making plans on how to make it his living space. Was so funny as the guy is using the urinal. 😂😂😂😂. The cans scene was awesome!!!!
