Meteor Shower by Steve Martin. Corky and Norm are excited to host Gerald and Laura at their home in the valley outside Los Angeles to watch a once-in-a-lifetime meteor shower. But as the stars come out and the conversation gets rolling, it becomes clear that Gerald and Laura might not be all that they appear to be. Over the course of a crazy, starlit dinner party, the wildly unexpected occurs.

Well-known comedian, actor, and producer, Steve Martin is no stranger to the world of writing. Martin wrote and starred in his debut film, the Academy Award-nominated, The Absent-Minded Waiter. Other works by Martin include the play Picasso at the Lapin Agile, as well as collaborative work with Carl Reiner on The Jerk, Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, The Man with Two Brains, and All of Me. Currently, Martin co-created a new Hulu original comedy series Only Murders in the Building with comedian Martin Short and Selena Gomez.
