" The camera cut away to a dimly lit Johnny [Carson], precisely as he whirled up from his chair, doubling over with laughter. Suddenly, subliminally, I was endorsed. At the end of the act, Sammy [Davis Jr.] came over and hugged me. I felt like I hadn't been hugged since I was born."  -Steve Martin, Born Standing Up, page 153

Holy christ this was incredible. Steve Martin's writing style is absolutely perfect for this kind of memoir. Impeccable. 

Also, the stuff about him and Dan Aykroyd liking each other but being different??? that shit got to me big time. Inside me there are two wolves.
