I saw the beginning of it, somewhat against my will (was visiting a friend's house).

I have to say that the Steve Martin monologue in the opener was INCREDIBLE - it was a complete and total roast of Hollywood politics! One of the best comedy routines I have ever ever seen. I hope someone makes a flash movie out of it because I'd love to see it again! I don't know Steve Martin's politics, but from the sound of this routine I wouldn't doubt that he's solidly conservative after hearing him go off like that.

I don't know what Martin's politics are, but his professionalism is unparalleled. Here's Dave Barry on the story behind the monologue.

P.S. If you can find that flash movie, please FReepmail me.

Steve Martin seems to be smart enough to keep his politics to himself, but I do know that during the first Gulf War he went to the Mid-East to entertain the troops and that he and his wife took with them many messages to forward to soldiers' families when they returned to the States.
