Martin acquired a modest but loyal following during the early 1970s as he performed his stand-up routine on numerous television shows, particularly The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. His breakthrough came in 1976 when he hosted an episode of NBC’s Saturday Night Live, the first of more than 25 appearances on the show throughout the years. Within months, Martin was the top comic in the United States and was drawing standing-room-only crowds to some of the country’s largest performing venues. His exclamations “Well, excuuuuse me!” and “I am a wild and crazy guy!” became national catchphrases. It was also during this period that Martin had success as a recording artist: his Let’s Get Small (1977) and A Wild and Crazy Guy(1978) comedy albums earned Grammy Awards, and his hit single “King Tut” (1978) sold more than a million copies.

At the beginning of the 21st century, his box-office success continued with Bringing Down the House (2003) and Cheaper by the Dozen (2003) and its sequel (2005). He later portrayed Inspector Jacques Clouseau, a character made famous by Peter Sellers, in The Pink Panther(2006) and The Pink Panther 2 (2009). Martin’s other films included It’s Complicated (2009), The Big Year (2011), Home (2015), and Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk (2016).
