This reminds me of that bread thing over at DCA.

Hey, check it out! We're B-list celebrities and here's a movie!

[Dustysage]

As long as I can watch the time lapse film of Disneyland being built, I'll be happy.

[Cuzco-topia]

Hey I love Steve and Donald. Might be descent...

Steve Martin is not a B-list celeb. At least he didn't sink to doing tv like your avatar Kiefer- now him hosting this would be lame, but Steve Martin will be entertaining.

[Cuzco-topia]

Ya, I loved his little bit in Fantasia 2000. People tend to underestimate Martin. I think he's a comic genious.

[Druggas]

Steve Martin is the Man! He's also a local boy that made good.

[Disneyphile]

Steve Martin is perfect for this. Afterall, he's a former Main Street Magic Shop CM.

I forgot about that- thats right---so rad! Whoop whoop!

Don't start ripping on Kiefer. He's got more cool in the fingernail of his left hand pinky finger than Steve Martin has in his body... 24 is a great show, and a lot of celebs are going back to TV these days. Besides, I believe Steve did several different TV shows...

Not that I don't like Steve Martin, he has been hilarious in some of his movies (3 Amigos is one of my favs), and I was jumping into this thread to object to him being referred to as "B-List"... On the other hand, he is remaking The Pink Panther, and that is a travesty. No one can compete with the late, great Sellers...

[ah schucks]

I like Kiefer too, don't get me wrong and 24 is amazing, but Steve Martin is a comic genius and deserves far more respect. I don't think is portrayl of the inspector in "Pink Panther" will try to top or mirror the great Peter Sellers- the two men are very different.

I hope not. I loved the originals.

I think Steve Martin gets the most respect of any of his previous SNL crew. He's certainly has more success, and can play a wider range of parts. I still love him in Little Shop of Horrors! He was my favorite host, along with Jones, in Fantasia 2000. I'd love to see him do more Disney stuff in the future...

[SuperDisneyDad]

I think Steve Martin actually use to work at Disneyland as a CM when he was in his teens or early twenties. I think there are few comedians out there that could pull something off like this. He is a perfect fit for Disneyland.

[Disneyphile]

I think it was Michelle Pfeifer who also worked as a princess at one point. It'd be cool to have her host as well.

Steve Martin a B-lister?! Hardly!

And as others have pointed out in this thread, yes the one-time Garden Grove resident did work at Disneyland, in the Magic Shop on Main St (did they sell rubber chickens or fake arrows-through-the-head there?). There's also a longtime rumor that he was a Jungle Cruise skipper; the rumor was circulated to the point that even some CMs thought it was true (I say that because my brother used to work in Adventureland and Frontierland, including Jungle Cruise, and he used to tell me that the Wild and Crazy Guy was a former Cruiser.) It's understandable, because the role of the skipper is obviously akin to a stand-up comedian, but not true.

Wow, that was a long p-graph, sorry guys! Just wanted to voice mine about that great white-haired talent. B-lister? Pshhhhttttttt!!! :lol:

Steve Martin was never an official cast member of SNL. But he was always on and always funny.

True, and good point. I always think he is because he was on the show so much!

Or Kevin Costner who played prince charming and married his Snow White (then divorced her)

[Cousin Orville]

Courtney Love worked the Candy Cane Motel, she'd be great in the film. :devil:
