Anyone who doubts Martin Short's comedic brilliance need only see his synchronized swimming short he did back in the day for SNL...truly one of THE funniest sketches ever produced.
I love Marty so, so, soooo much. I'm not freaked out by meeting 'famous' people, but I might be a stuttering mess around him. :) Just the funniest and truly seems like such a sweet man. This story is in his memoir, which everyone should listen to him read!! I can't imagine reading (don't get me wrong, I LOVE books) it rather than getting to hear Marty do all the voices, such a good book. Memoirs are hard to do well, but his is just laugh out loud (and cry a few tears) funny.
Marty's got a way of phrase-tuning that you rarely get in these last few generations. Yeah, we have Patton Oswalt, but his 'voice' ain't the same as Short's. He's just a ball of old-world ring-a ding dinginess that makes you feel like you're at the Tropicana wearing a slim-cut suit with Kim Novak and/or Lola Falana by your side while she's smoking a cigarette and you're all laughing like maniacs at his anecdotes.
Ooh, maybe we could go together. Then I could just stand and breathe and you could talk! I like this plan. I always meet people I set out to meet (then end up working for then, taking over singing backup, putting them up at my house when the hotel I booked them in catches fire) so I should just be determined about meeting Martin. Then even my horrible sister might like me again :)
Martin deserves all the adoration and kudos he receives. An amazing comedic presence his improvisational wizardry is second to none. I will say genius and competitive drive do come with certain baggage that being an ego and as self effacing as Marty can be I do sense it. Of course everyone has their own version of humble pie served to them. Martin’s TV and movie career while successful aren’t of a super star level. He’s just Martin Short beloved by his faithful admirers me being one. Conan has unfair advantage really with a nightly nationwide show, but in a way the same could be said of him.
Martin Short is a DUEL citizen.& I once stood on his doorstep at 400 Indian Rd. High Park,Toronto,Ont.,Can..I also spoke to his motherinlaw on the phone once.Martin Short still owns a cottage in Muskoka,Ontario,Canada.MARTIN SHORT WILL ALWAYS BE CANADIAN!
I kinda like Jimmy Fallon, but he should learn from Conan, how to be quiet when a guest is telling stories, or just talking. Fallon talks over his guests, which is irritating and annoying!
Jimmy Fallon is like Jiminy Glick without the charm or snide remarks; talks over his guests, doesn't know what he's talking about but likes to pretend he does, overly and overtly feigns interest in what his guests have to say and boisterously laughs at the most awkward times.
FYI- Johnny Stomponato was a gangster. He got jealous of Lana and Sean Connery filming a movie. So he runs onto set starting a fight with Sean who laid out the gangster with one hit. Sean’s a body builder.
For yhose of you who missed that..... Tom Hanks' reference to roomates while at the supermarket is a Bosom Buddies plug!!! You young-uns should go watch it!!! 😉❤❤
That is hilarious: I used to work in the Palisades years ago and I would go to Gelson's all the time to get lunch.... I saw more famous people at that place that anywhere else in all the years I lived in Los Angeles. Like crazy amount of famous people.
Sure! Lots of regular people come to LA because they aspire to enter the film industry, some as screenwriters. So this guy was trying to get Tom Hanks to read and maybe produce or find a producer for it haha

One mustn't forget Jiminy Glick!
Heidi Svenson his writing brilliance is great with SCTV Network
"I'm not a strong swimmer."
Ok, Gen-X. (hehe I'm one, too)
I literally say "I'm not a..strong..swimmer" when I go in the pool in the summer. 🤣🤣
Martin Short is one of the funniest people alive.
+tisdue You got dat right!
You should see his interview as Jiminy Glick with Larry David. I have seen it ten times and it's still the funniest thing on youtube!
Yeah, the David interview is awesome. "There's a blandness about you that seems to be your trademark, and isn't that wonderful?"
No doubt. He's as important as Robin Williams.
tisdue Was. RIP.
'I love when you use language.' Literally dying.
Did you survive or are you dead now?
He dead
@@bluerain369 definitely passed away
@@graxjpg definitely curious
You make it?
Always nice how he acknowledges the crowd after a joke, as he does of his costars. True gratitude shows a big person.
i guess i missed Conan's elvis sideburns period
I lost it at Johnny Stompanato. Talking about esoteric comedy.
I like how he just casually mentions breathing on Tom Hanks' neck and just keeps going with his story
I've met him. He was awesome! I nearly died laughing! (And still do, even now!)
Go Clifford!
who doesn't love him? great comic and the nicest guy in showbiz. and he's even been in musicals on bway.
The Tom Hanks' scream impression at 2:26 was perfect. xD
+Pedro Guilherme Siqueira Moreira OMG you're right.. lol only noticed that when I listened again lol
I noticed that, too, but not sure if he actually meant to sound like Tom or if it was a happy coincidence!

"you dont have to read the whole script but just listen to the music", hahahaha, so true of LA life.
can any1 enlighten me what that means? sorry for my naivety
@@chillpalz4987 the guy they hit was pitching a movie to Tom hanks
Martin is unparalleled when it comes to wit... the man is always on point. Brilliant fella
Well, cough... Norm McDonald , cough.

You mean hanging out with Bobby Bittman and Lola Heatherton?
Smoking a cigarette that's in a realllly long cigarette holder lol.
I just THINK about Martin Short and start laughing!! I adore the man and if anyone ever gave me a wish to meet someone famous, I'd pick him!

@@sarahgracefitzpatrick5886 you are absolutely hilarious
@@sarahgracefitzpatrick5886 can't tell whether this comment was scary or hilarious 😂😂
One of the funniest entertainers in the past 40 years.
I Could Totally Picture Martin Short Being Like That When he Goes Grocery Shopping
Never fails with this guy. Just gets funnier and funnier.
YES MARTIN SHORT SHOULD HOST TO OSCARS
Martin deserves all the adoration and kudos he receives. An amazing comedic presence his improvisational wizardry is second to none.

Ya Marty didn’t do surprisingly well even though he’s so funny Martin and o brien did better
Conan's "Elvis" period 😆💕👍
Lol. Those side burns.
I think he deserved an Oscar along with his two amigos for 'Three Amigos'.
So funny! Gotta love him! :)
That last operatic note and the timing of the cutoff.
Daytime Oscars. Brilliant. He's used that joke before. Think he used it on Kimmel and the audience just never gets it!
Kimmel is clueless. So it stands to reason his audiences would be doubly so.
This is awesome, everything I love about celebrities, so basically stories about them hanging out with each other.
Such craziness! This is on Monty Python level
WALK, DRAGON! WALK!
Great Canadian
An International Treasure! Love him.
why am i falling in love with Martin Short in 2022 lol
Marty Short is adorable and a great man a funny man any movie he's in he makes the character work

Martin Short gets funnier, as he gets older!
I have to see that Martin Short show. That looked funny.

I'll Always Love The Santa Clause 3 Because Martin Short Played Jack Frost
OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!! Laughed till I cried
"I love when you use language!"
I totally relate to the other driver. I know that I’d love to have Tom Hanks read my screenplay.
Martin Short's singing here reminds me of the Cowardly Lion in the Wizard of Oz.
agreed. LOL
He has always reminded me of a funnier and Canadian Dustin Hoffman.
Laughed so much, had to play back parts that I missed.
three fugitives, my fave martin short film
The Three Amigos!!!
I kinda like Jimmy Fallon, but he should learn from Conan, how to be quiet when a guest is telling stories, or just talking. Fallon talks over his guests, which is irritating and annoying!
and learn to unfake a laugh
Jimmy Fallon is like Jiminy Glick without the charm or snide remarks; talks over his guests, doesn't know what he's talking about but likes to pretend he does, overly and overtly feigns interest in what his guests have to say and boisterously laughs at the most awkward times.
Craig Ferguson is my favorite host.
If only conan could be the host of the tonight show... oh wait
I miss Johnny
ah i love martin short, please come back to mainstream tv/movies
I've been watching Martin everywhere and he never fails. The movie tho hahahahahahaha

He must be a pleasure for hosts. The old pro just never tanks.
The weight must just roll off their shoulders.
I love Martin Short!
FYI- Johnny Stomponato was a gangster. He got jealous of Lana and Sean Connery filming a movie. So he runs onto set starting a fight with Sean who laid out the gangster with one hit. Sean’s a body builder.
One of the funniest men alive! Oh sorry Conan, but you are playing 2nd banana to Martin.
I loved his characterization on that old school show, The Critic.
Andrias face, such a great actress.. lol
Martin short is so funny!

Hamilton is where I live

A great little man with big personality
That short was so funny! Lol
THE BRIDGE MIX! THE BRIDGE MIX!
Can someone explain the "you don't have to read the whole spiel just listen to the music."
Is that a reference I'm missing?
Oh nvm, he was plugging his script.
I thought it was a reference.
Johnny Stompanado? Had to look that up, hilarious reference.
I'M POSSESSED!!!

You can't crash the supermarket. You just go
This was just after they went to the Grey Cup together in Regina,Saskatchewan in -25°C weather !
Martin is breathing really fast here, just look at his chest/shoulders while he isn't talking. I hope he's ok.
No! It is Clifford!
Westdale represent!
This guy's hilarious
Can someone explain to me Short’s punchline at 3:27? Thanks!
Sure! Lots of regular people come to LA because they aspire to enter the film industry, some as screenwriters. So this guy was trying to get Tom Hanks to read and maybe produce or find a producer for it haha
Martin hanks and conan are close friends
Martin Hanks? Lol. Who is that?
