I, Martin Short, Goes Hollywood (2 of 4)

[@chuberman8740]

She is always well-coiffed, and also her hair looks beautiful.

[@chuberman8740]

I think Miss Lisa Hartman is glamorous, and I'll tell you why. She is always well-coiffed, and also her hair looks beautiful.

😂😂😂

[@chippahchipperson]

fucking greatest line ever

[@DJBinAZ]

Thank YOU!!! I miss this soooo much, totally chris guest's precursor to Corky!!!

[@Juanfifarek]

"Oh its miss Liza Minnelli , oh I'm going over! Going over!" "I am just getting loopty loop loop" This was my favorite VHS as a kid. Love this.

[@serendipitydew]

I looked for this clip for SO LONG! It makes me howl with laughter!!

[@alhollywood6486]

I am 53, I remember watching this on VHS a billion times

[@ealaspada]

OMG. This has been one of my favorite things since it first magically appeared on HBO twelve thousand years ago. I thank you passionately for posting it!

[@lorelieplum81]

I watch this over and over again, never fails to get me cackling.

[@plissken151]

i'm just gonna go ahead and say it: Chris Guest is a goddamn genius. i DID always wonder why Martin Short wasn't part of 'Spinal Tap' or Guest's other ensemble movies like 'Wating For Guffman', or 'Best In Show'.

[@zenpaganwarrior]

Yeah, I agree. I think there could have easily been a place in the Tap movie for Marty as a Nathan Thurm-type character, like the Tap's scurrilous lawyer or something like that. Maybe as a performer they support on their theater tour, like a Jackie Rogers, Jr. type, "with Spinal Tap" supporting?

[@alhollywood6486]

He was in SCTV at the time, just too Canadian to book.

[@sashek8451]

in an interview Guest said Marty (and Billy Crystal) were too “big” of stars, he said it wouldn’t work, he wanted lesser known comedians for these movies

[@Surv1ve_Thrive]

It's true they are big stars. Also Short cannot downplay his style of acting and might just not click as e.g. a manic A&R man etc. Or haberdasher.

[@vargaso]

"I have a couple tools, I have a crescent wrench and...a pair of tweezers." So good.

[@joshjuanfifarek7382]

Haaa ha..my son Pendarvis

[@Teeveepicksures]

"Down to my shop, where I have a few tools, let see, I have my crescent wrench and tweezers." Holy shit, I've been trying to remember where that came from for 30 years.

[@sledzeppelin]

That has stuck in my head since I first saw it as a kid. Absolutely hilarious.

[@afrazzini]

God, I love both of them...comedic geniuses..paved the way for some many comics..but especially Martin, he is a wonderful human being

[@scottc.5142]

I remember this back in the early 90's, what memories! I think those 2 in the restaurant is very very interesting. I wish that would be developed even more by Martin Short.

[@pcwkid76]

The first time I saw the plastic surgery sketch was when my dad taped it off the Tonight Show (Short was showing it to promote the special). I laughed so hard I could barely breathe and watched it many times over the next few months.

[@krisscanlon4051]

Christopher Guest is absolutely Supernatural I can't watch him in this clip I start laughing too much! I love you Martin Short LOL

[@sashek8451]

he truly is. I could watch him all day. It’s all so subtle.

[@ackwagl4]

Thanks for posting this!!! Been searching for it for years (since my old VHS of it broke)

[@wager42]

I feel that Martin's voice is so cute!

[@Marklinsf]

"papa? What'sa wood burning tool." LOL

[@MJ-dq8ik]

I saw this comedy special when it first aired (on Cinemax, I believe) and I taped it. I had the tape for years and friends would roar with laughter - especially over this section with Guest & Short as the Hollywood gossip columnist. So damn funny

[@douglasschwarz1800]

I have been looking for this clip for a looong time. Hilarious - thanks for posting.

[@HanzSygnal]

Oh My God, the guy w the mustache was the hound-owner in Best in Show

[@sashek8451]

i am dying at them busting up that last bit, I have never seen Guest do that 😂😂😂

[@70Dallas70]

I have been searching for this for years. Thanks so much!!!!

[@shagzone]

Thank you for putting this up!! This brings back great memories. The Man In The Moooon.

[@miked4377]

these shows were so much better than now.....martin short was brilliant!

[@dandy_griffith]

This clip is sensationally luscious.

[@gardenchef8298]

[@strobe155]

[@theadamblock]

Was this done in one shot here? This is just incredible.

[@milart12]

6:53 Hey that's Brad Allen of Scrapco from SCTV

[@MrTimotei69]

[@warptek]

Precursor to Jiminy Glick?

[@jaytay2010]

"Papa, what's a wood burning tool?"

[@TonyWud]

He grew into that suit and changed his name to Jiminy Glick.

[@narutokakashihatake3047]

Wow,rally romantic and funny.

Waiting for guffman dry run

Comedy Geniuses.

i cannot believe that's christopher guest.

[@greendragon9919]

“No, ma’am” ❤

[@joshjuanfifarek7382]

How did you get such a clean copy of this Marty Short masterpiece. I wore out my vhs from my childhood. Not once to miss a Martin Short special.

[@scherado01]

Jiminy Glick's less fortunate brother. 'What did I just say?.'...

[@kyleewest6414]

O.M.J! There is a Michael Jackson was on Martin Short Hollywood Show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@cdamadio]

YES!!!

[@hazelgoodshepherd9315]

Dang, this would NOT fly today

[@DVincentW]

Ha ha ha ... excellence.

[@wavelengthrecords-1]

Martin knew about Michael.

[@tdpay9015]

Où's = ooze 🤣

[@speechgymnasium7046]

Corky!!! And Jiminy before he got bitter about the Biz!

[@hazelgoodshepherd9315]

Don’t bother, ladies. They’re both married to two very lucky women.

[@julietteyork3721]

I’m ded

[@Sharperthanu1]

P.S. WHENEVER ONE SEES A SUFFRAGETTE THEY'RE ALWAYS ACTUALLY WOMEN.THEY'RE NEVER FAKE WOMEN.

[@Zooba57]

Short and Guest played such great Fruitcakes when no one took offense from it and just knew it was funny. Were Antoninus and Chip De Mentabella (The gay choreographer Guest adapted into Corky St. Claire for WAITING FOR GUFFMAN) lovers or brothers?

[@AllenManor]

Even gay people know these guys got it right.

[@ronzombie6541]

Waiter didn't know how to serve. Elbows out away from guest.

[@youshapedmylife]

Geeezuz

[@chimneychuck]

Dont know how tlhis Short guy was kept on in tv shows, he's the least funny "comedian" this side of Richard Nixon. He's always silly, never funny!

[@Xodgilla]

Chris Guest!
