How incredibly famous was Elvis that future superstars from every walk of life proudly tell their "meeting Elvis" story as if that's one of the greatest moments of their lives.

Until the end of time...Elvis will always be one of the most famous people in human history. He gave the world so much and asked for so little in return.

Every story I've heard about meeting Elvis is cool. The king

[kenrod]

The most amazing thing about the Elvis story is his huge outsized life was all lived in about a twenty year period. Then he was gone...and he is still the most known person on earth.

He had someone to get him away from talking to people but wanted to stay with Steve, what a Dam honour

“Son you have an oblique sense of humor.” - Elvis is the greatest

Elvis had something very outwordly about him. He was almost from another planet. He was the King.

Thank you Steve Martin for your funny, yet respectful story about Elvis. Stern, naturally wanted to take it in another direction, but you didn't let him. Kudos to you and I knew I always loved you and your wit...oblique or not!

Elvis -- the only person ever to say "wanna see my guns?" and be literal about it... 💪 💪

It always gives me goose bumps to hear these great stars talk about Elvis in such genuine fashion.

Steve Martin and Martin Short are such gems

Steve Martin was a comedy genius and to me the 70s and 80s was the best era with the most talent.

So thankful Howard is bringing all these stories to life

[seaniek]

What a sweet story. Always good to hear ur heroes are what u hoped.

I used to wander around and listen to different neighbors record collections when I was a kid. I did this in the 70's. In 78 I found Steve Martin. Lets get small. I must have listen to that until they kicked me out. Thank you Mr. Martin. You made me so happy.

Hello from England
Wow What a great story that Steve tells about meeting Elvis

Its wonderful to hear these stories as there are sadly less and less people alive because we are looking back over 50 years in some cases
