Martin Short honors Steve Martin at the 2013 Governors Awards

[@MrKijana23]

"What's great about Steve is he never lets a script get in the way of the performance he's decided on in advance" is such a devastatingly amazing burn. Marty rocks!

You are correct sir.

That sir, would describe Marlon Brando to a t.

"The Governor's Awards are considered the highest honor an actor can receive in mid-November." Best line of the night, such a subtle yet devastating put-down.

Martin Short managed to make me laugh and cry in the same speech. His comments at the end were as sweet as it gets

[@jenkinsjrjenkins]

"congratulations, amigo" got me 😭😭

[@alexisbuchanan2028]

the roast previously paved the way for the genuine sentiment latterly. Only real friends can do this.

Martin's smile is the best smile ever. It's just so damn infectious.

Which Martin?

[@sloanmalfoy-snapenotactive106]

I think they meant Steve not Martin

[@AllenMQuinn]

The rest of the audience were super lame, but Steve Martin was laughing and enjoying every second and that's what matters most.

[@truvelocity]

Actors are very self conscious people, believe it or not. it was a formal event, so they were restrained.

these are usually better when the jokes have a little truth to them. this was just for steve

Yes. The audience is terrible. Maybe it’s cuz Martin uses the same jokes on everyone. I don’t care , tho. I think he’s always hilarious & his timing is perfect.

Every now an then we get a comedy duo that creates a bond that last through time.

Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy, Harvey Corman and Tim Conway, Martin and Short.

[@kdub4318]

Steve Martin was loving every minute of this. What a great sport.

[@Picnicl]

Ever since I saw The Three Amigos, I have loved Martin Short- he is as quick and smart as a whip. Possibly the best blend of Hollywood insider, positivity, sarcasm, and dry wit. A real professional- his preparation and presentation is faultless. He makes it look easy but smoothness and lines like that are genius.

[@suzyq4982]

Have you seen CLIFFORD ? Check it out it’s a masterpiece !

[@frankhoulihanfh4972]

“… about 5 years from now.” split my face and weird hissing noises came out

Yes, but he should host as Jiminy Glick. LOL!

[@dakotazimmerman4344]

There are rumors that Martin Short, Steve Martin and Selena Gomez will host this year! I hope it’s true because I definitely will watch!

[@mdteletom1288]

Imagine it with Martin, Short and Tina Fey (yes she's known more for television but so were Letterman and Carson).

[@kimboslice1356]

Clearly the audience takes itself too seriously... Martin Short is a legend.

[@richardkoenigsberg4271]

One of the wittiest performances I've ever seen.

[@artierace8664]

Obviously the audience didn't have much of a sense of humour. Either that or I have a very biased love of Marty Short; I think he's amazing!

[@Devilock79]

It's a black-tie awards ceremony, not a night at the Apollo.

[@hedegaard8]

Sorry Artie, I would rate him as "mediocre", just average and a little bland. Perhaps I'm just a reflection of what the audience thinks.

[@baboom007]

or they are stupid

[@incrediblesulk555]

hedegaard8 obviously you don’t know humour.

[@hedegaard8]

@Crazy Canuck Perhaps and based off of your dissertation technique, then I'd say you're just a rabid fan devoid of any sense of taste. I can easily be mediocre, average and a little bland - at least I'd be on par with Marty Short.

[@damamae950]

I grow to appreciate Martin's style of humor more and more as years go by. Just looking at his face makes me crack up

[@irondirigible4216]

It took me a second to get it but that philosophy joke was hilarious
