Steve Martin on Why He Loves Martin Short, Only Murders Season 4 & Poached Egg Obsession

[@ReadMoreHistory-v9u]

Martin Short is one of the most talented comedians of all time. So bright, so quick, has a comeback for everything. Steve is his brilliant counterpart. I love them together.

[@didlidoodles343]

I couldn't agree more! 👍🏾

[@doriswaddington2418]

He’s a great father! Brought up his three adopted children when his wife died of cancer

[@starchild2358]

Two LEGENDARY best friends ❤

[@previnsnaidu1]

Their comedic chemistry is just perfection, such a joy

[@forbesforbes2752]

Yep. Are these guys a breath of fresh air or what?

[@yumnuska]

The magic of these two, I think, is how they build each other up, and then knock each other down, only less, and then knock themselves down a bit too. And then they just show genuine love.

[@gabe_s_videos]

They're really one of the last of the old-school comedy duos.

[@frasierfreak92]

I love how for the first minute Steve is wondering whether they’re going to do their usual roasting, and then as soon as Marty throws out the first zinger he’s like, “Oh, we’re doing this” 😂 But what’s especially nice is they truly love each other. If you read Marty’s autobiography, Steve and his wife were so important for him when his wife passed away. They really looked after him and helped him grieve, along with his kids. You can feel the warmth Marty has for him in his book.

[@edgarcayce2.02]

Seems these two simply can't go anywhere without each other.

[@krabb55]

Perhaps, before weeks end, Martin Short could read your comment then show a composite photo of what a child of the two would’ve looked like from infancy to mid age. Would be a hoot.

I worked with these two guys a month ago and they are just like this even when they are not trying to entertain people..... they are kind and funny and sweet and I really hope I get the chance to work with them again...

[@pinang1]

wow lucky. It's hard to imagine for me that these two could be rude to anyone. If I'd have to pick two people to hang out with all the time...

[@ThePancakeJedi]

It warms my heart to see that, even at old age, these magnificent beasts still can remember the same old jokes.

[@rikkiechambers4959]

Ahhh these two together .. it’s sooo hard not to hear echos of SNL from my childhood .. we were so lucky to have that .. what a joy this was ❤

[@karenmbbaxter]

I was an 80's girl so I don't remember them on SNL but I remember then on The 3 Amigos and Father of The Bride 1 and 2........Too funny.

[@circle1c]

Martin only did one season on SNL and he was brilliant. Ed Grimley was my favorite character of his but he was brilliant. Also, his autobiography is really good.

Martin Short needs to be doing this show. He's a joy to watch.

[@asmrwithannie]

@@amygrimes9400 Totally agree with you. You're so right. Martin's just got it.

[@5Angieb]

To say I love these two guys is an EXTREME understatement. They truly are INCREDIBLE and love their comradeship and humour. I love them both, but Martin Short has ALWAYS been my all time fave ever. You can see how much they genuinely love each other which is much of the reason they're so great together. They are fantastic 💜💜💜💜💜💜

And they are always classy without offending people......Kathy Griffin became nasty when a female actress told her her real name in private......Kathy thought it would be hilarious to say her real name but it wasn't funny and instead it just showed kathy was nasty more than anything else........Seinfeld also did a tour of my city many years ago and after making a lot of money from sold out shows MY CITY then became the butt of his jokes. Much like Billy Crystal and Chevy Chase these comedians of the 1980's just had class about them.
