Steve Martin’s Talent for Writing Comedy Didn’t Extend to Creating Cheers

Steve Martin is recognized as one of the funniest people to have ever lived. He’s also known for preferring to write his own material. This makes it even more surprising that the cheers he created while a cheerleader in Garden Grove, California, were not well-received by his squad. They believed his cheers were far from ready for prime time, and the other cheerleaders didn’t hesitate to tell him so. Perhaps the other cheerleaders didn’t have a sense of humor. Nevertheless, Steve would go on to have a successful career in show business spanning over five decades.
