Steve martin was like the most famous and highest grossing comedians in the 70’s no?
He’s still working and selling out and putting out great content. Hell, even won a Grammy or two ?

Steve Martin for sure

My only thing with Steve Martin is that I'm not sure his musician career is very globally recognized. Could be wrong, but if not these two are very, very close.

Chevy hasn’t done anything worth a damn since Christmas vacation. And don’t say community. He didn’t make that show what it was

Movies wise I think Chevy is more recognizable though. That would make a difference outside of the United States of America.

Chevy's fallen off, but the younger folk might know who Steve Martin is thanks to the popularity of Only Murder in the Building/Selena Gomez.

Three kids. Ages 16,15,12. All three said Chevy and didn’t know who the other two are.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
