[@humey2090]

Mary Larsen true😂 didn't notice it until u pointed it out

[@MiChJeSu22]

And the way that they both rip the pages at the same time 😂 it’s like they’re the same person

[@ninach5982]

Ohhh wowww 😂😂😂😂

[@heartofthematter247]

Yo that’s crazy lol 😂

[@ruthplayz]

Oh my god XD

[@diegomarquez9026]

You know they’re friends when they can insult each other like that

[@jacquiepinel2620]

Totally agree lok so funny

[@PrincessRiners]

LMAOO the way they rip the pages so dramatically

[@SydneyGayleJr8]

PrincessRiners loool.... Poor pages tho...

[@DD-sq3mr]

GOO TOO HELL!!! i died when he said that to the paper

[@tamikafields9949]

PrincessRiners I

[@pastorofmuppets325]

Agreed To hell with the questions! These guys are on the same wavelength. Their mannerisms, their comedic timing, these things can't be taught. They're just "Simpatico". A delight to watch as always 😍

[@karenvick9120]

PrincessRiners a

[@KH-hu9sv]

They simultaneously fumble with their respective objects at 1:45 that’s friggen amazing

[@cs5384]

I could watch a whole show of them playing this game.

[@janicesorgenti3247]

Absolutely

[@BlakieTT]

*"OH MAMA, IT CAME ALOIVE!"* These two bring me such joy...

[@bethgrogan1853]

"Slapped Barry Manilow because he thought he was me" 😂😂

I AM CRYINGGGGG 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@naturalbby1722]

“If Martin won the lottery what would he buy… FRIENDS” “because he looks like a glass of skim milk” I love them

[@lysha_peach]

They're like an old married couple and I love it!

[@danimation88]

Steve Martin stopped aging 20 years ago

[@lucaslemoine]

DK88 probably because he looked 40 in his 20s

[@emmamoon4319]

He was a silver fox early on . It just looks good on some men

[@KnickKnack07]

But in fairness, that's because ever since he was 30, he looked like he was 50.

[@whatstheniche8716]

30 maybe. It’s insane.

[@whatstheniche8716]

burteriksson no

[@kasondaleigh]

These two are like an old married couple. A modern take on the Odd Couple. ❤️

[@pfpsaysitall6894]

"I wrote skim milk because he looks like a glass of skim milk" I nearly busted a lung dying of laughter oh my God 😂😭😭

[@sharstic2929]

Martin: Steve has the greatest collection of Nazi memorabilia. Jimmy: Oh my god! What is wrong with you, man? What is wrong with you. That is absolutely not true. Steve: I wrote - collection of Nazi memorabilia. Martin: We are best friends!

[@patwooster3851]

When Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin hosted the oscars they said about Meryl Streep who was sitting in the front row, “what’s with all the Nazi Memorabilia?” But what’s amazing about this is that Martin Short said it too! I love these two!

[@HOTD108_]

@@patwooster3851 what year was that?

[@patwooster3851]

@@HOTD108_ don’t remember the year but it was the year they made the movie with her, It’s Complicated.

[@kylezo]

Oh, so this is what happened at the end of the video.

[@taniya8455]

❤❤❤

[@vixxen1077]

2:26 they looked to the right and left at the same time lol

[@lauralunaazul]

Yes

[@yukywookie4867]

That is hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂

[@ilpinza1989]

Totally best friends!

[@MsKillerqueen5]

I vote for "Grandfather of the Bride" to be made ASAP!

[@yousaid4ever29]

We just need Father of the Bride 3, they had their daughter Megan in the second film. She would be marriage age now.

[@jayt717]

Soph D His daughter and wife had babies. That made him a grandfather. Duh.

[@rosebud7105]

I so want Franc to come back!

[@viksaggu9085]

Sebastian's World how about cheaper by the dozen 3??

[@poohspaws8976]

Jason Hunt But his granddaughter still didn’t get married. He may be a grandfather, but his granddaughter hasn’t gotten married, hence “grandfather of the bride”. The new bride. The new bride being his granddaughter.

[@vanessam.6158]

“Friends” my best friend would say that to me

[@featherface]

If they both swapped names they would be Martin Martin and Steve Short😂

[@jordanco7380]

Literally 3 children. 😂

[@georgedps]

But literally they're adults. What the fuck.

[@tiberiuskirk739]

I’m not ready for a world without Steve or Marty. May they live a hundred years!

[@shubhamgoel1057]

Two Comedy Legends together GOATS 🐐

[@fanuelaeifeline]

I want to grow old with my friend to be like them.

[@lgarza001]

It’s so funny when he tells the paper to go to hell 😂

[@pixiewings21_9]

when Martin drops the pen: "oh mama! It came alive" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 just the way he says it. Fallon played along with these two geniuses perfectly!

[@MadMax-us9ih]

2:26 they where so in synch it looked creepy 😂

[@SJ-tb2wq]

Martin is hysterical and his voice. It's so distinct and likeable. It'll be an awful day when we lose him.

[@prachivermaa2110]

I love how Martin is so fast to answer..does not need to think..n boy they r so alive😎

[@h5live897]

Lol I like how they all look at the teleprompter on the last question to write down the answer. When Jimmy looks up at it @4:56 he cracks up and they all play it off smooth.

[@herecomesthesun33]

My uncles went to high school with Martin Short and Eugene Levy and they said they were just as funny back then as they are now

[@moreadventure3627]

Lucky

[@barriek2288]

That’s really weird but mine did too

[@JennaCalifornia]

[@annapaulinamedinacastillo6160]

[@dt4049]

[@WestCoast824]

I love how they were sitting close enough to glance over and cheat and they didn't even try. That's awesome.

[@HotelCalifornia360]

Comedic timing of these two greats was so goooood!

[@sreivphol]

I love the contrast of their socks lol.

[@annapaulinamedinacastillo6160]

hahaa that Collection of Nazi killed me

[@eolsunder]

and its great because they didn't look at each others answers at all, it was obviously something they have done in their act a lot at some point.

[@justmemadison]

Their friendship reminds me of Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner. Nice to have a trusted friend in your life no matter what age...no one wants to be alone.

[@buddybroman4766]

justmemadison That comedian in cars with Seinfeld episode with them made me very happy.

[@lucillecui1363]

Two minutes in and it's already pure chaos and joy. Love them all!

[@BeautifulDreamerK]

And no one is gonna mention that we need a “Grandfather of the Bride” movie? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@GTanya07]

i love them 😂

[@kobrien4121]

Jimmy is really laughing

[@fanuelaeifeline]

Steve Martin, legend!

[@taydrabrookshire347]

[@mrsindianmonroe]

Ugh! Classic comedians truly are the best! Remember Steve Martin from My Blur heaven, Dirty Rotten Scounderals, Father of the bride movies and Martin short from three amigos, A simple wish, Clifford...my all time favorites with many more.

[@nbrown088]

Mrs.Indian Monroe I thought I was the only who remembered Clifford lol

[@elzeus13]

Did not see that coming.

[@hellokrust]

elzeus13 did *nazi that coming

[@dt4049]

too funny

[@jcb3393]

I did, because Steve was squinting toward the cue cards before writing his answer

[@amyv.]

I'd actually like to see it.

[@Ellashae]

elzeus13 you didn’t. You did not do that LOL

[@Buc_Stops_Here]

They are so funny and amazing best friends - this was so fun to watch. The match at the end was actually hilarious.

[@kellygervais3440]

So glad these two found each other... what a pair..

"It came alive" Martin Short 🤣🤣

[@madeline6821]

[@anairi03]

add Robin Williams there and watch it become the most chaotic interview

[@brianforder4471]

That would be almost too much to take, would be hilarious overload. RIP Robin, one of the funniest people that has ever lived.

[@moreadventure3627]

:(

[@sydneychristensen5956]

Steve Martin pulling out a pen and correcting the punctuation made my soul feel so validated 😌

[@Paisleyrosa]

OMG I love Steve even more for not being able to resist adding that apostrophe! ❤

[@hugsnotdrugsjr.3003]

Greatest grammer correction ever! Haha.

Tyler Ridener so is he a full-fledged grammar Nazi?

[@hugsnotdrugsjr.3003]

You can't say Nazi! I'm a snowflake.

[@Angie-Pants]

Grammar*

[@aslan9334]

1:45 Steve's paper would not fly away!🤣

[@mlsaulnier]

I have such a crush on Martin Short - he is so adorable.

[@minkim9550]

Two comedic geniuses that crack me up.

[@EmilyKresl]

The best part of this is Steve correcting the punctuation on the box. 😅😅

[@darcyjousset6615]

Those two helped make growing up in the 80’s and early 90’s awesome. Martin Short on SCTV was some of the best scotch comedy of all time.

[@SamSphinx]

I guess.... We're playing with the big boys now!

[@sunshinemishasmommy5352]

Those guys are SO hilarious...I can understand why Jimmy laughed through the whole interview :)

[@cjre33]

Old school is always the way to go. One of the Best actors in history 🤣🤣🤣

Short does look like Manilow! I would have slapped him, too. 😂

[@oilinmylamp]

I thought that too when he said it! 😁

[@vassa1972]

Two great Canadians there I know that Mr Short was born and raised here in Hamilton Ontario Canada which is where I'm from thank you very much

[@davidlape4943]

Steve Martin is a national treasure.♥️

[@theasian24601]

I like when they come up with 2 different answers for a fact, because we get 2 facts/stories for price of 1.

[@thundertv1431]

* Martin short throws paper* Martin : go to hell Me : 😂

[@julibiagi5130]

The move their heads the exact same at 2:25 😂😂😂❤️
