LETTERMAN 2/21/08 – Steve Martin (Part 1 of 2)

STEVE MARTIN: with his new memoir, “Born Standing Up: A Comic’s Life.” We had Martin Short. on the show a few days ago and he and Steve are good friends. How did they meet? Steve says he first met Martin Short while doing Three Amigos. The first day on the set he heard behind him Katherine Hepburn asking, “Where is my bicycle?” And during down time, Steve, Chevy, and Marty would play Scrabble. It got to be very competitive. During one game he sees Marty writing something on a small piece of paper. He slides it over to Steve. On the paper Marty had written, “I will let you ball my wife Nancy for an E or a Q.”
