I remember Martin Short, on an appearance with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb, they asked him (without knowing) how his wife was, what a lovely lady she was, etc etc, the normal platitudes, etc etc. What they didn't know, was that she had passed away, more than a little while ago. Martin, in a true gesture of absolute class and dignity, took it all in stride, he never got offended, he didn't even correct them on their social blunder. It was quickly brought forward, and they were naturally horrified and embarrassed, and rightly wanted to apologize to Martin, but, again, he handled it all so well. He exemplified how a true gentleman conducts himself. I will never forget that lesson. Thank you, Martin Short!
It's the Canadian in him. He can be biting in his job, but Canadians have manners and are generally pretty nice people. Only citizens of superpowers take pride in brutality to others.
A little history for people watching this now, this episode of Conan aired in 2005 and Martin's wife sadly passed away in 2010......Martin however is still a living legend in 2022......
Pretty much the template of showbiz professionalism, and somehow adds something new in, because he's also innately talented and clearly very intelligent.
I saw Martin Short and Steve Martin in show together. Absolutely fabulous. It was called An Evening you will forget. I didn't understand why they didn't call it Martin and Martin. The best bit was Steve using Martin as a dummy in a ventriloquist act.
I love Martin Short from his TV show when I was a kid all the way through Saturday Night Live all his comedy stuff Three Amigos so on and so forth he's an awesome actor and I even loved him on How I Met Your Mother he's a very heavy hitter when it comes to being in TV and movies where ever you're at Martin Short hope you're doing well God bless you and thank you for so many years of bringing smiles to my face
Hearing him talk about his wife😭 i these moments, him and his family can look back on when they want watch Martin Short share his love for Nancy with the world.
When Marty goes "mmmmyy lllllladdddyyyy" he does it in the same spirit as Jiminy Glick when he goes from high squeeky to super low gravelly and sensual "25 years of LOVING ahhhh".
Jimmy Fallon is no slouch. The thing I like about Jimmy is that he is so multi talented. He can dance and sing very well and that's something none of the other greats like Carson, Letterman or Leno could do.
graham grasdal sure, Fallon has a different skill set. Carson, Letterman and Leno didn’t need to be able to sing and dance, but the world of late night has changed over the years.
you know , if everyone who say they played in Carson's poker game got together with all those who say they almost got on the plane with Buddy Holly , you could fill the Staples center.
he rarely says he's from hamilton on the shows i've seen him do on american tv. grew up in westdale, went to westdale secondary and then mcmaster university. eugene levy and dave thomas were from the area and ivan reitman from toronto all went there at the same time.
Hamilton is a steel town. I've always thought of it as the Pittsburgh of Canada. Every now and then Marty opens up and tells hilarious stories about his youth and his Irish heritage.
God, Marty looks so young here, I think losing his wife to cancer only 5 years later really aged him :( still got the same bright spirit as always, though, endlessly entertaining!
I had always heard that Carson was aloof and not a social kind of person away from the tonight show. The idea that he would invite anyone to a poker game seems to put to rest this "loner" reputation.
My sister lived in the house next door to Martin Short's in Toronto. Her neighbor was Martin Short's landlady. There is a picture of the place in a book about SCTV. Always the Canadians taking the piss out of America, eh? Conan and David Letterman's great advantage in life is that they are tall guys. Being big and tall gives you a presence on stage.
Once again, proof that Conan is one of the worst late night hosts ever. He constantly tries to one-up his guests whereas Carson would sit back and let them shine. Conan's writing background is impressive but he is terrible in front of the camera.

It’s so painful to watch knowing what he’s feeling deep inside during that awkward interview. Like you said, Martin is a true gentleman. Legend

@@ellenmarch3095The response of the arrogant American.
@@acerjuglans383did they say he killed her in a gay triangularcidal rage? Sad!
I heard he punched Kathie Lee backstage.
Kidding! I felt bad for her.
He loved his wife so much. RIP Nancy 💞
So sad. RIP.

@@dljones61 ignore him, he’s a sad little boy who craves attention from adults.
wow, thanks for the downer man. do you drown kittens in your spare time?
Unfun Fact.
Martin Short and Conan literally help curb my depression for a bit....a bit....thank you
Same m8! wish health and safety for you and your loved ones and family
Wow that's awesome😊
Yeaa bubby u kno it
Norm Macdonald worked for me this summer. It gets better 😊
Dean Robbins you as well xoxo thank you
Martin is one of the funniest people to ever live. ALWAYS on point, ALWAYS delivers.
Pretty much the template of showbiz professionalism, and somehow adds something new in, because he's also innately talented and clearly very intelligent.
Hearing him talk about Nancy is breaking my heart, but hey … he was lucky to have found the love of his life.
He still loves his wife so much
Cancer. Ten years ago. RIP Nancy
Love like theirs is the stuff of legends. RIP Nancy.
Martin is one of the most joyous by default people I've ever seen.

He steals the show with his talent , but always leaves place for others to have their moment too. A class act.

That is a wonderful cricket.
I KNOW!!! I was like...wait, let him do that again!!!
@burteriksson Vocal cords
"Ironic Crow" for the win!
He just did the same cricket and crow bit on Conan yesterday! Still got it
"You can barely see netting"
"It's very brave"
So many insults within 25 seconds.
My favourite part of the interview is how visibly upset Marty gets when applause for his 25 yr marriage steps on the rhythm of his next line
Nothing worse: the marriage was just a setup for the joke XD
I love Martin Short downplaying Conan's talent hahaha bring back the side burns conan! 😂 😂 😂
Love Martin Short dearly!
im sooo happy Martin Short is on again tonight!!
This is the nicest Marty has treated Conan publicly; they must of just become friends lol
When Marty goes "mmmmyy lllllladdddyyyy" he does it in the same spirit as Jiminy Glick when he goes from high squeeky to super low gravelly and sensual "25 years of LOVING ahhhh".
“bathing is for suckers”
And I love watching Conan
i dont get how conan didnt take over after jay leno retired. conans so much better than jimmy fallon
I mean he did for 7 months and then Leno basically forced himself back into NBC and Conan chose to leave to preserve the legacy of the tonight show
He did. Look it up. You'll hate Leno and NBC after you know what happened.
Go back and watch his Christmas tonight shows and you will see why.

“I can do an ironic crow.” Funny fucking guy.
Nobody can compare with Martin Short's wit.
Even in 05 a John Davidson reference is ancient
I gotta say...he did have great hair, though.
the only valid talkshow host left
He’s retired now rip
He did the same crow and crickets on their quarantine video chat.
HAHA " Hair of a clown "
Andy laughing...
He would have been a good Biblo Baggins had they made the Hobbit in the 80/90's
This aired when I was 3 days away from turning 12. I'm about to turn 27 and I'm just getting into Conan O'Brien. Wow.
I started watching Conan when I was 12, in 1995... saw him go from SD to HD in realtime
@@azv343 Oh, wow! I feel like I remember SD, but I don't remember when SD transferred to HD.
This aired on my 40th birthday! But in England we didn't get Conan.😢
Gosh dang it!!@ These two are comedic legends.
i love martin short
I love Shartin Mort
Conan's crow was really good.
Ironic crow 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Two of the naturally funniest humans alive 👍

conan martin good mans be funny toogever
This looks so good, it looks like it was done yesterday.
Boa noite, esse Martin é o rei da comédia, talentoso.Muito bom esse vídeo.
That’s rubber
About half way through that i suddenly twigged he was the Cat in the Hat.
my roommate in college thought "bathing was for suckers" and the worst part was he'd work out for like 4 hours everyday
I had forgotten I invented Conan smiley when I was 19 years old. @: )
Conan is approximately 4 ft 5 inches without his hair
Martin Short and Goldblum, two best guests
"Hehehe... Canadian"
Greatness
Every other time he told the story, including in his book, he said the mash landed on Johnny's hand, so perhaps a little embellishment.
It's completely irrelevant. He could have made up the whole thing I'd still laugh. Comedy is about laughter not realism
@@viva_8887 Of course..
2005!?!?!? Looks like it was shot yesterday!!!!
Ironic crow. GENIUS.
God love him, such a class act as is his family. No doubt he and Nancy had a beautiful relationship.
Rip johnny
Loved it
That was crazy.
Those sideburns are hot...
Conan in his prime.
These two can only be friends if sitting
Martin Short is really short but also a comedy big shot...
Ironic cow for the win

Canadian lol
Ironic crow!!!!!!!!!
Carson was nowhere near a billionaire, he was worth about $300 Million
Way way more than $300m
@@johnf6267 Johnny Carson net worth at death was $300 million.
You do an ironic crow
Could we get a puppet show of this or -- anything -- to lift the writers strike?
sad because he had no idea at the time that he would lose her to cancer.
I remember I’m a Big Girl Now with Diana Canova
Reminds me of Mel Brooks.
did Martin Short ever work with Julie Andrews
Interesanti
😂
Conan has the best fake laugh in television
HAHAHAHAHA --except for mine.
Who serves mashed potatoes at a poker game?
Comedy is over. We were doing so good in the past. Not sure where we're headed now.
Boredom.
His wife passed. And Conan didn’t do his homewrk😮
she passed 5 years after this aired
Martin Short is a great comedic actor and he has been in many good movies, but to me he'll always be Clifford
His best work is on SCTV
I guess you don’t get much.
Yes we know, you’re rich.
He said meme in 05
ok zoomer
He said medium of television
The term has existed since the 70s.

Yah he is 70...not dead.
I’ve got some good news for you....
Idk why, but Martin short creeps me out more than any celeb
FIRST
After the other 20 people, guess your internet connection is garbage.
Shutup
I love Conan, I've never understood why people think Martin Short is funny.
Because he is funny?
Cos he re-uses loads of material that have proved got laughter several times already ;) Still funny, though.
i swear he's gay.
I know I'm in the minority here, but this guy annoys the crap out of me.
The least talented ‘comedian’ in the business. Ed Grimly, that’s it. The rest is him imitating Jerry Lewis.
The least intelligent comment…
