A Young Steve Martin Performs Magic on the Smothers Brothers Show

Steve Martin so young that his hair’s not grey. Don’t believe it? Believe it. Martin became a writer for The Smothers Brothers Show at the age of 21, and he was part of their Emmy for best TV comedy writing in 1969 on a staff that also included Rob Reiner. He learned his magic chops by working at the Main Street Magic store in Disneyland.

Mikl-em

Actor, nerd, poet, producer, writer mikl-em made his name short so you wouldn't have to. In addition to his blog you can find his writing in "Hi Fructose" magazine and witness him almost life-sized in various plays at The Dark Room Theater in SF's Mission district.

He tends to write about theater, humor, San Francisco culture and history, and stuff that's just plain weird. He thanks Scott for sharing the keys to the Laughing Squid virtual HQ and promises to uphold whatever it is that the mirthful cephalopod would prefer to be uplifted.
