This guy is nearly 70 years old and still kills every single joke he delivers. By far, Martin Short and Steve Martin are some of the most polished legends of comedy of our current era.

[@lauralunaazul]

He s older I believe he has already 70.

[@BrettClimb]

Jimmy Fallon can't even handle the flurry of jokes.

[@jonm734]

@@BrettClimb so true he switched to the lame version like a year ago used to like him a lot better before

[@BrettClimb]

Not that I could do any better bantering with a man with that speed of thought and cleverness.

[@marko6947]

Martin is killing it with jokes. Get this man to host award shows.

[@borisjohnson4ever]

Martin: Congratulations on Cats! Jimmy: I wasn't in Cats.. Martin: That's why i'm congratulating you Martin is going in hard

[@adamcampbell820]

That was clever.

Martin Short is just effortlessly funny. 3:18 - 3:46 how is he not hosting Oscar?

[@marah3298]

Alternative Spicer that’s a great idea!!

[@dman7310]

seriously. he needs to be more on tv, netflix, comedy central roast, something, everything. he's too funny not to be heard.

[@angelaraber]

He’d be perfect! Shame that there’s no host again this year.

[@lauralunaazul]

He doesnt want to, I think.

[@puweul]

Omg he just doesn't stop shooting, I love him.

[@meganmarshall1664]

Martin Short took control of this interview and literally just name dropped almost every pop culture reference he could think of 🤣🤣🤣

Martin Short did the voice of The Cat in the Hat from the PBS Kids series The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That.

I would be honored to get roasted by Marty

[@ClintScottFischer]

That's exactly what I thought..turning into Rickles

[@AW-rz2jn]

Wtf. I'm kinda young so haven't come across Martin's work before. 1 minute into this video and this guy is so effortlessly funny, while being so clever and sharp that jimmy and the audience can't even keep up. Love it

[@sublime8956]

You need to watch the three amigos

[@djmotise]

You MUST watch all the Jiminy Glick interviews.

[@GD-fi7rm]

The audience was so dead. They had no sense of humor.

[@anyal1987]

Gotta be fast to keep up with Marty. And also have a large repertoire of references.

[@NoFapKing]

We're tired of the matrix

[@rvpstudioscanada3991]

There was no audience. People stayed away because of the coronavirus.

Martin short and steve martin are still among the funniest people on earth.

This dude is born to be a comedian havent laughed that hard in awhile.

Martin Short is always the interviewer in interviews.

[@DannyKlimt]

"Of all the shows that are on at 11:35, this certainly is one of them“ Haha, nice anti compliment. I wonder, how many people missed that

The Dolittle come back was BRILLIANT. Especially since that film is out right now with the same exact title.

[@ZAINABBAS]

I wait for this guy to give an interview, so i can watch it again and again and laugh .. Martin Short in my opinion is the most talented performer Alive.

[@user-vh3ug5sw1e]

Petition for Martin to host the Oscars!

[@viksaggu9085]

H lol I don’t think Canadians ever host anything

[@djmotise]

Why? Maybe he doesn't want to.

[@AC3handle]

1917. When he went to low for the audience. I loved it.

[@ryiin]

Martin Short is a world treasure. So funny. Running ring's around Jimmy.

[@martinmilev1651]

He is too fast with his jokes, Jimmy and the audience can't process them on time, it's hilarious and cringy at the same time

[@ngc6603]

Not surprising but embarrassing for these shit for brains hosts and crew. They are just on-rails with no personality, no guts and are just pointless nowadays.

[@banduccii9314]

what do you mean "he didn't get the jokes" look at his facial expressions after all the jokes. He just can't comment on them as it will ruin relations with the crew/actors that martin is dissing. lmfao

[@kkibela]

He got them old skool zinger lol nice to hear it actually

[@AW-rz2jn]

The guy is effortlessly funny and so clever yet sharp that sure, the audience cant keep up. Jimmy can just about keep up but you can tell he tries not to comment or react so as not to offend anyone... like right after the leo joke he just moved straight to the next question

[@kayc.5213]

Of course Jimmy gets the jokes...Hes apart of shtick...Dont know about most of the audience though

[@disneygal3566]

♥️ Matin Short.... his swiftness with jokes reminds of the when someone would try to interview the late and GREAT Robin Williams.

[@saviogeorgechacko]

I was thinking about the same thing..... Robin used to take over the entire interview.... Same happened here

[@marthakimberly2180]

Martin short such a charismatic, great comedian, and actor!! he always puts a smile on my face : )

[@bibby42]

Absolutely LOVE Martin Short. When he's on late night I know I'm going to laugh pretty much his whole segment.

[@TheReySkywalker]

The fact that Martin isn’t getting the amount of laughter that David is...really disappoints me.

his normal conversation is like a comedy special. genius

“Of all the shows that are on at 11:35, this is certainly one of em.” Went right over Fallon’s head.

[@hickiveasler]

I don't think it went over his head, he just didn't know how to respond.

[@ElcsieRetakov]

Can't remember if I first saw him in Three Amigos or Innerspace but a long time fan. Thankfully his career hasn't matched his name.
