Description: Martin was initially reluctant to do the show, because he did not want to turn down movie and nightclub performances. His terms were deliberately unrealistic: "He presented [NBC] with a list of demands he thought it would be impossible to fill. He asked for an outrageous amount of money, he only wanted to work one day a week, and that day had to be Sunday. He didn't want to do anything but announce the acts. He didn't even want to sing if he didn't feel like it. But surprisingly NBC agreed to each of his demands.
