In addition to being wildly successful, his comedic albums won him numerous Grammys.

His stand-up performances were packing arenas by the late 1970s, so it made sense for him to turn his attention to feature movies. His first interest had always been movies, and "Live Action," the short film he wrote and starred in, went on to receive an Oscar nomination. "The Jerk", "Pennies from Heaven," "All of Me," "Roxanne," "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles," "Parenthood," "Father of the Bride," "Leap of Faith," "Shopgirl," and the Pink Panther revival are just a few of the well-known films he has featured in since then.


Additionally, he has eleven studio albums, including comedies and music. A skilled bluegrass performer, Martin has received two Grammy Awards for his musical projects, including comedy CDs, and three of his albums have been at number one on the US Bluegrass charts. Along with being a prolific writer, he has written several children's books, novels, and scripts.


Furthermore, Martin co-authored the music for the Broadway premieres of the comedy Meteor Shower (2017) and the musical Bright Star (2016), of which he also wrote the books. Since his childhood, he has played the banjo, and since the beginning of his professional career, he has incorporated music into his comedic routines.
