At the peak of his stand-up comedy popularity, Steve Martin hosted one of the early Saturday Night Live TV shows during which he did a sketch dressed as an ancient Egyptian. In the comedy sketch he danced with exaggerated poses, like you see in Egyptian art and old movies, while singing a song called "King Tut". The skit was the most expensive ever done by the show to that point and included the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band backing up Steve. The song took off and made the charts after the show, becoming very popular.
