The success of the Hulu series Only Murders in the Building has exposed a new generation of viewers to the comedic brilliance and appeal of Steve Martin.

“I, like many people, grew up a fan of Steve Martin. … I was of the generation of kids that memorized his albums, and The Jerk was a huge film that came out when I was 12,” the director said. “I convinced my dad to drive me to Las Vegas to see Steve do stand-up when I was 12, but that’s just part of his career.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Chris Pine was taken by surprise when news hit that Steve Yockey, creator of the Max series “The Flight Attendant,” had signed on to write the script for “Star Trek 4.” Why? “I thought there was already a script,” the actor recently told Business Insider during an interview on his “Poolman” press tour.
