But does he live in a condo made of stone-a?

Everyone has heard the song: "King Tut"

Ginger references the song in her entry about the King Tut exhibit that will be touring the U.S. next year.

But who wrote the song?

Hint: He's written books, and a wonderful novella called Shopgirl.

No?

Okay, he's also been in such movies ranging from The Man with Two Brains to The Spanish Prisoner to Looney Tunes Back In Action

He's hosted the Oscars.

He's written screenplays (including working on one right now for an adaptation of Shopgirl).

The answer...

Steve Martin. He has an humorous opinion piece in the NY Times today talking about the song and the forthcoming exhibit.

Steve Martin. Far more talented than any of us knew, eh? Not just a comedy actor or an actor, period, eh?
