Jane Lynch on Only Murders in the Building, Working with Meryl Streep & Big Break in Best in Show

[@8517vini]

Having Martin Short guest host might have been the biggest mistake Jimmy has made in his whole career. Mr. Short seems like he was built for this 😂

[@Anne--Marie]

And Kimmel sucks

[@nn9617]

Totally! He is a genuine, humble person and we all need that in this world. He pays attention and brings real kindness.

[@matthewanipen2418]

as much as Kimmel sucks, Martin is 74. I love him, but I wouldnt gamble a show that could potentially span decades on him.

[@d.263]

Thank you for an actual interview and conversation. He doesn't interrupt or rush people like what you usually see.

[@ShatShizzle21]

Correct

[@Ravenpicks]

Martin Short is killing it. He is a good interviewer.❤

[@SaloniSymphonies]

This is so amazing. Such a natural and meaningful conversation - from promoting the show to talking about their dad's drinks. Martin Short, you're a legend

[@marywalsh4386]

😊

[@Chethakmp3]

I enjoyed

[@thehapevillechannel]

Give Martin his own talk show. He is lovely. He actually listens to his guests.

[@JayJay-ex6dz]

I think Martin needs his own show. Nice to see a different happy personality.

[@d.263]

He absolutely does! Not as any character, just himself is plenty!

[@scottbaxendale323]

You might want to find out if he would want that gig first? It’s a grind to do it full time.

[@ProMakeupTV]

no one can afford him lol

[@lonelyone]

He had like 3 talk shows in the '90s

[@Littleneddygtw]

Water is ….line?

[@eleanormay729]

Jane Lynch is always so happy, I just love her. She is great in anything she does.

[@shaunfarber1334]

I worked with her on a short-lived show, MDs, and she was wonderful.

[@Chethakmp3]

Wow. Nice

[@Bronco4life777]

Casting Jane in this unique role is one of the many wonders of Only Murders….

[@renatenha]

Right?

[@MarcodeMiranda]

Wow, so much positive energy. This show has gone to a different level.

[@vantarpon6849]

Exactly what I was thinking - Martin Short is pure gold.

[@JourneywithJosh]

This is what I liked about Carson..... A conversation between two friends and you've invited the world in. Stellar job Marty.

[@tom4150]

It would ve awesome to have someone like Martin around to always find the comedy. And he is hilarious

[@Noturmom4829]

OMG I love Jimmy for gifting us with Martin Short as guest host. I get a little sad when Jimmy is away… but not this time 😂❤

[@sherylmuffin]

I could listen to these two all day! This is pure gold!!!

[@marjoriegarland2798]

Absolutely ❗

[@juliahelland6488]

I absolutely love Only Murders in the Building! And of course ALL the actors! I can't wait for season 4!💯❣️

[@semipenguin]

Jane and Jennifer Coolidge were great in Best In Show. I enjoyed her in Glee, too

[@graywoodfoxwell1931]

Martin is actually an excellent interviewer. Jane is super cool, as always.

[@staciesabatino3817]

Love both of them! Wouldn't it be fun to have Marty as a best friend? He is one in a million!

[@NzStumpyTech]

This woman does NOT miss! Brilliant in everything! One of the favs has to be Charlies shrink in Two and a Half Men!

[@korribier-lo3nm]

I love her so much. She did an amazing job on only murders in the building.

[@tifu3274]

I adore her, she is amazing in every role she's in.just a natural and she seems like a thoroughly great human.

[@melissabruhn1429]

Jane Lynch is just light!!! ✨️✨️✨️

[@jennifer5512]

Martin Short is so great at this. He’s actually interested in the people he’s interviewing.

[@Milaperadotti]

Best in show is my favorite movie she has done. Classic. If you haven’t seen it watch it. It’s hilarious.

[@Christie_Love]

Jane's scenes with Jennifer Coolidge were amazing!!!

[@Chethakmp3]

Thanks

[@Rebel_AF]

❤ you even more after all these years. Great work, Ms. Lynch!! 👏👏👏

[@happycat3399]

Ok This is a FUN surprise! Martin Short interviewing Jane Lynch about one of my Favorite shows that they both star in! What!?!?! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@carolynturk-hu7je]

Loved Jane Lynch on "Two and a Half Men" too!❤

[@tretower57]

“I’m not sittin’ here sketchin’ ponies, Charlie…”

[@janetjones1456]

That's the first time I ever saw her...wish they mentioned that

[@andymath89]

I love Jane so much. What a great interview. Martin is awesome! 🤩

[@AA-wc3tw]

MITB is SUCH a good show, and I typically struggle to be interested in most shows. I hope they come out with more episodes!!!

[@Mayabee321]

Martin needs his own show. He’s a natural. Sign him up.

[@elizabethdaniels51]

What a delight this is! Isn’t it wonderful these two together?! Positivity, honesty and simply joy!

[@cz2165]

Ya gotta love Jane Lynch. She was out there killing it in so many small roles,especially in the Christopher Guest films, and finally got the universal fame she deserves.

[@Shea3224]

LIVING LEGEND!! She's absolutely Hilarious!! Love her!! 🤣💜

[@MDWD]

She's a really good actress. Love her

[@annmahoneyleslie1894]

@Martin Short you Are in the top 5 funniest people I have ever seen….and I’ve seen a lot of your buddies…I’m 70. You are truly great. 😁👍

[@TheJohnny928]

I remember Weebles Wooble 😊 I also remember Jayne in The Fugitive w/ Harrison Ford👍

[@lesliematteis8010]

Best of show is one of my favorite movies.

[@ferny.wizzle]

Same! Glad to see it’s getting so much love in comments.

[@AAZEDLARC]

I worked at Newsroom (the restaurant) and at Castle Rock Entertainment at this same time. Mr. Guest and Jamie Lee Curtis were two of my favorite people :)

[@joemalone7386]

Wow!!! Marty Short is sooo good as a talk show host! It gave me the excitement of Johnny Carson, Short is not doing Johnny, it’s just fresh and funny. I am enjoying him every freaking night and going to miss it when his stint is over. Don’t get me wrong I do adore Jimmy K. Marty brought something different to the table, ya that’s it, new…

[@Anne--Marie]

Martin Short was brilliant in SVU, also. He is a multi-faceted, extremely talented man.

[@b-dub6865]

Good for Marty for speaking the truth on air. No actor loves backstage visits from other actors, or fans (he didn’t say that, tho). They just got done performing their millionth 4hr musical & they’re exhausted.

[@geocape7060]

Great interview and Martin Short is a natural .

[@koraldavis3474]

My uncle and I love how she can sound and act tough in comedies

[@marymacgregor6952]

Yes, I love her in two and a half men as the psychiatrist.

[@RtimusCFrog]

Her Role Models character is one of my favorites. Sturdy Wings!

[@peace-l3t]

Great lady. So funny!

[@tomas9830]

i love her and this type of interview when it feels like an actual conversation

[@d.263]

I loved that she brought up the synchronized swimming skit with Martin Short, Christopher Guest, and Harry Shearer--it might be the funniest skit in history! I practically broke a rib the first time I saw it.

[@azpeach5680]

Martin short is such an amazing host!!!

[@heatherdowhaluk2128]

Jane Lynch is hysterical 😂😂

[@Ovvfilm]

This is in one word: energy 💙💙

[@dankonishi9644]

I loved her in A Mighty Wind

[@shethingsd]

Best in Show, but any of those Christopher Guest comedies with that excellent group of actors I can watch non-stop

[@pooie0116]

W.I.N.C. (Witches In Nature's Colors) OMG, I nearly pee my pants laughing every time I think of all the crazy improved crap they come up with 🤣🤣🤣

[@dankonishi9644]

@@pooie0116 WINK! 😜 I liked when she winked after saying that

[@frankhoulihanfh4972]

A Mighty Wind is a creeper, it sneaks up on you. I think it’s become my personal favorite of the so-called mockumentaries. The where are they now sequence at the end with the credits rolling is the last time I howled with laughter. It was about the 4th or 5th time I’d seen the movie, after sitting dumbly in front of it the prior views. I had come home from a stressful overnight at my stressful job, and it finally hit me. Purged all that anxiety clean. ❤

[@daniel.j9062]

She's a natural comedian and a straight shooter!

[@Heyyyo85]

Actually, she's not a straight shooter. =)

We love jane lynch and Martin short

[@oopik0059]

I looked for her Frosted Flakes commercial, and you could clearly see Christopher Guest’s humour all over it. So funny!

[@wadedavid4375]

She did a good job in Julie and Julia!

[@elizabethobrien5702]

I just love Jane Lynch 😊 She is an incredibly funny actress/actor ❤

[@Morningdovecamp]

I love Jane and Martin and Steve!!! 😂😅👍👍👍👏👏👏🌞

[@danellemoore1461]

Mr Short is such a great interviewer.

[@ohotnitza]

I love only murders and Jane is awesome in it

[@BaldwinBay]

Captain Ron! Martin Short classic motion picture. Very funny.

[@pinkgarage]

Christopher Guests' monologue from the Bait Shop in "Best In Show" was an absolutely genius parody on hooking up/sex...

[@salonisharma1318]

Where can I watch it?

Captain Ron is the classic for sailors. L'ille de pomedeterre. Great!!!

I luv Jayne 😂 Chi-Town proud ❤

Captain Ron!

Jane is GREAT!!

[@dennismurphy2979]

She's referring to Port-a-Call in Dolton-South Holland IL at the St Jude the Apostle Jr High, which my parents Jerry & Helen heartily participated🎉❤

[@andocrates]

Jane Lynch is one of my favorite people.

[@brianmeese1641]

Can’t see Marty as guest host without expecting Jiminy Glick to magically appear in his seat….

[@maximusdraco2199]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Martin Short ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kowalski5599]

She was in The Fugitive (1993) with Harrison Ford but she was fairly subdued in a minor role as a friend of Harrison's character. "But Richard wouldn't come to me: it's not his style."

[@luckyirvin]

Jane and Marty oh hell yes

[@Lucilletoo]

She's so fantastic 😻

[@michelleholland8460]

Loved this so much!!!

[@Nazawazza17]

Love Martin Short!

[@tomwestbrook]

Love Jane Lynch. She’s so much fun to watch.

[@stevenromero1204]

Martin Short should have his own late night show.

[@vantarpon6849]

Why was Martin Short not given his own talk show? This guy knows Hollywood (present and past), can sing/dance, is a genius at improvisation, and is a great interviewer. Don't understand.

[@sarawang1257]

It will definitely be great if this can happen, but the daily and weekly schedule for a talk show host is very demanding. I don't know if Marty would want a life like this.

[@killianyinstitut]

He had one in 1999 for 2 seasons.

[@sarawang1257]

@@killianyinstitut Thank you for sharing this information with me!

[@taffyfae]

❤❤❤ Luv Jane Lynch. She is the funniest and best. 😘😘😘

[@DizzyedUpGirl]

Jane has done a phenomenal job as Sazz. I'll miss her. Sazz was the best.

[@efuller3333]

The rapport ✨🌟✨

[@MrMisuma]

Innerspace ❤️

[@deborahwilson4684]

LMAO at her rejection letter calling Dolton a "cornfield"! Did they know it's a burb of Chgo? Jane's always entertaining. Does anyone know where I can watch her hosting her former NBC night time game show? She made that show so much fun to watch! TY in advance!

[@LIZZIEMAC2010]

This is great

[@67comet]

I love her :) .. this' been a fun week ..

[@crashburn3292]

Every former actor is watching this and thinking, *"I should've had breakfast at the Newsroom Cafe in Beverly Hills more often!"*

[@tracycolleran80]

My favourite character in the series. 😂😂

[@afroshark2799]

Why do I always picture Jane Lynch in a bright jumpsuit...? 😆 As a fellow church basement performer, she's the absolute best.

[@marcustooby6461]

The synchronized swimming skit: "Hey, you, I know you, I know you!"

[@frankhoulihanfh4972]

I’m not a strong swimmer.

[@beataylorsdeeppinkecstasy9013]

I would love to see a comedy with Jane Lynch and Emma Thompson. I think it would be insane!

[@cor-z8m]

Great series

[@Pete_R63]

Fun fact, Jane Lynch and tonight's interview guest with Jiminy Glick was Sean Hayes, both of them went to Illinois State University. I was a freshman while she was a senior and I wonder if our paths ever crossed on campus. I mean, literally, like did she walk past me somewhere. ; )

[@Mysticalsmile777]

I love how Marvin brings a much different energy than Jimmy does. No hate to Jimmy of course because he is great too but you can tell that Marvin is the real comedian here 😊 i also love how with Marvin the conversation is more natural and not as too rehearsed. Hope none of what i said was disrespectful because i didn't mean it that way ..not at all😇

[@mariasolis1545]

Martin needs his own show!

Lets not forget, She's in the movie The Fugitive... 😊😁😁

[@EmilyKresl]

Give Martin Short his own talk show!

[@janetjones1456]

I really love Jayne lynch in the episodes of two and a half men where she played a hilarious psychiatrist 😂...I agree her many other roles are terrific but the first time I ever saw her was on that sitcom...also with the great interview

[@chermebrownsauce]

The Best in Show was awesome!
