A Wild and Crazy Guy is an album by American comedian Steve Martin released in 1978. It reached number two on Billboard's Pop Albums Chart.[2] The album was eventually certified double platinum.

It contains the hit novelty single "King Tut", backed up by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band performing under the name, the Toot Uncommons.[3] Martin also performed "King Tut" on Saturday Night Live. It also has Martin revealing his 'real' name, which he admits is the sound of him flipping his lips.
