Martin Short at the AFI Life Achievement Award: A Tribute to Steve Martin

[@jodiewilcox6772]

I can't believe I was driven to laugh and to cry in such a short time, by the same person. This is what I hope we all are able to appreciate in life - true friendships. I so wish these two would tour again, so I can experience the pleasure of their company.

[@bcoolfool1014]

Martin Short is sublime. Wow. laughing and crying within milliseconds of his speech. He's just sublime.

[@petep5207]

Rarely is the word "sublime" used fittingly. But you pulled it off. Kudos!

[@richfictionfighter]

5:18 When Marty sang to Steve "Made me laugh and seen me cry", all I could picture was Steve being there for Marty when his wife died in 2010

[@PatriCoop]

richfictionfighter ❤️

[@evaldotiger4014]

Same here.

[@taydrabrookshire347]

Damn. How dare you make it so deep

[@orbison]

I recently read Marty's book. The part where he talks about how Steve was on the verge of tears when Martin first told him how serious Nancy's condition was still stuns me.

[@Qermaq]

Exactly.

[@Wilcox3]

That picture of Martin Short, Steve Martin, Jerry Lewis, and Robin Williams, is timeless and Incredibly priceless. That picture is the Definition of "Icons and Legends".

[@dcasey2574]

For one man to pay tribute to another man in this remarkable and touching way is sooooo unusual in our culture. So very refreshing

[@nima.tajdolat]

what a great example of true friendship right there started to shed a tear during that song

[@MJ-ip8mq]

All the smiles on every single person’s face in the crowd just goes to show just how much joy the Martin duo brings the world

[@VanVaper]

That's a true friend. Such a rare thing these days.

[@davefordavefor]

Martin Short keeping it real. It’s truly wonderful to see him express his real and great affection for Steve Martin with this song.

[@apachedisco]

Jesus Christ that went from haha to tears too fucking quick. I was not prepared.

[@nonnyj81]

Life is funny like that.

[@Brucewayne-zs1fi]

I agree

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

A little bit of roasting then a little bit of love, Steve and Martin were the original bromantic couple

[@ErisRising]

Roasts him mercilessly, then sings an absolutely genuine tribute. Perfect Martin Short.

[@LenHummelChannel]

This is one of the funniest, one of the most hysterical tribute speeches *ever.* They have obviously been close friends for many years. it shows.

[@royal-tea7543]

Did anyone else cry , when Marty sang that song for Steve?

[@lauralunaazul]

Me

[@wilmasariman3443]

I did. He sang from the heart

[@orangelita1128]

I did. I rarely cry even when watching heavy drama films and documentaries. His song was truly moving.

[@Melina-fi3sc]

I did

[@alexpastor8582]

me too

[@alyserendipity]

You could see Steve getting emotional during the song, that was so powerful.

[@RomulanStar]

Robin Williams, Marty Short, Jerry Lewis and Steve Martin goofing off in a picture. It's like the four horseman of comedy.

[@mikewhite4560]

Except for LEWIS

[@mbradley15]

Loooove this comment. Just yes.

@@mikewhite4560 why you said that??

[@ktkat1949]

Martin Short, Steve Martin and Tom Hanks are all extremely good buddies. If you read his latest book there is a lot of really funny stuff about the stuff the three of them get up to off stage.

[@dragonfly4484]

This is beautiful...great job Marty

[@BrokeTheSeal]

Martin Short is just so different. Love him.

[@tg213]

not sure where i heard it but the great comedians can make us laugh and cry. steve and marty can do both. it is reassuring that these great stars are great people and great friends too. we should all be so blessed.

[@byrnedes]

That’s actually lovely.

[@andrewchan2809]

Steve and Martin are such great friends. It’s enviable.

[@thegiftedone]

Martin Short is the greatest entertainer of all time!!! Without a single hesitation or doubt…..the greatest……

[@michelmadaire6492]

True Friendship.

[@decadencewhimsyandsarcasm]

Pretty much the dictionary definition of what you want in a tribute

[@starchild2358]

Love Steve and Marty's brotherhood! Best friends and brothers for life! ❤❤

Once I watched 'Three Amigos', I fell head over heels with the movie and the three actors in it. They are the best! 👍👏❤🤩😍🥰🤗

[@richardbenjamin8341]

Praising with faint damns…honed to perfection by Short.

[@boppob1343]

That Walt joke made Lorne laugh harder than he ever has in public

[@AdamSusserComedy]

Beautiful. My favourite comedy duo. This is heart warming.

[@astigmatist2769]

When Short start so sing "Made me laugh and seen me cry" this moment was realy emotional

[@burnbobquist8999]

The Randy Quaid joke was so good, the reaction from Tina and maya were like "uuuuh harsh" and Amy was allready laughing. :D

[@YesPlease1]

I don't get the reference

[@Zamarae]

@@YesPlease1He just chose an actor as if they aren’t getting work. But also funny I think because he starred with his brother Dennis Quaid

[@royshalev1247]

Martin is that kind of artist everybody loves ❤️

[@barbellking3755]

This got me all choked up. I love these guys.

[@jamiehernandez8169]

[@dbeazrn3934]

Love Martin Short….He told similarly hysterical jokes (used different name for Uber driver, Bea Arthur dressing room, etc.) at the Canadian Candy Awards when Martin Short was awarded the lifetime achievement award.Both Steve Martin & Martin Short are both treasures.

[@stardustring]

Steven Martin seem like a really nice person.

[@claudiagonzalez2970]

amazing actor, lovely tribute.

[@mf5202]

Some talented comedians can shift from blazing roast to complete homage in one fell swoop. See Don RIckles. Martin Short AND Steve Martin can do that as well. It is a dying art

[@AlvaPalin]

How beautifully touching.

[@ArtandFolk]

Had me in tears... classic couple like Walter Matthau and jack lemon

[@poustinia]

Wow. Laughing and crying. What a tribute

[@aiai-j7i]

What a sweetheart...just beautiful.

[@ragtmt15]

See we aren’t allowed to be funny anymore like this! This is comedy, nobody is like this . Love these men

[@tmrezzek5728]

"Jew, or NOT a Jew.." Martin Short is in top form here, and it's amazing he got away with that perceptive joke about Walt Disney.

[@davidfisk6759]

Don Rickles would be proud.

[@juffurey]

It's probably a running joke in Hollywood.

[@plcmts17]

There was an actual SNL skit called Jew, not a Jew. Tom Hanks was the host and played the gme show host. I think three of the choices were Anne Bancroft, Penny Marshall, and Ed Koch.

[@DavidMcCoul]

This was the funniest five minutes I’ve had in ages!

[@tonybrown9775]

This is a masterclass

[@lv7118]

To me it's like the song was supposed to be a joke and then they both felt it in their hearts.

[@cuddlybear6801]

Steve Martin and Martin short are both funny good looking and amazing actors.

[@jondunmore4268]

Martin Short has gotten better with age. I simply didn't like him when he was young. There's something about longevity that - if you last - makes you better as time goes by.

[@KaninTuzi]

Or maybe he was always great and you got wiser with age :)

[@jondunmore4268]

@@KaninTuzi -- Nah, he was pretty much shit when he was young - except for Jiminy Glick. Thanks for the insult though. I'll remember that when it comes time to cull the herd.
