Martin Short on Letterman, July 10, 1985

[@greggwith3g]

Those are photos of my brother at 4:30 - thanks so much for posting! We thought we'd never track that footage down...

[@dongiller]

That's great. I love when this happens.

[@stevevalkos6308]

HAHA, Andrew was a HOOT; you can tell Martin and Dave and the audience got a big kick out of those pics.

[@birdorienteering]

How do I know you are not faking?

[@cattathat]

That's so cool!

[@jasonmichaelcook2239]

What would somebody gain by making that up in a KZbin comment section? Prestige?

[@harsha2086]

Look how his eyes are sparkling. Fascinating

[@mariaksimidis]

and it’s even more fascinating that he has never lost his energy and that sparkle in is eyes after all those years✨

[@bedwarsgb4523]

That’s cocaine

[@tonystone1016]

Good to watch Martin doing a solo act.

[@88Doug]

I had to watch this! He is so funny and classic!

[@cherylc.doubleday4207]

I love Martin Short 💕

[@gnelms24]

Martin's hair is gorgeous and beautiful!

[@timfeleppa3156]

Thanks for posting this!

[@steves1588]

Club Paradise...epic movie

[@Vanirvis]

Good thing they cut the bit but not the setup. Once you’ve had the clip intro’d you hardly need to see it, because you’ve already been told about it.

[@starduck8014]

he was brilliant

[@johnpendarvis7885]

A case of an accurate surname.

[@petercipriani3307]

We got a taste of Irving Cohen when Dave asked Martin if he was coming back to SNL: "There's a lot of tings..."

[@madisonrose1893]

I was gonna say give him a C, a bouncy C!!!

[@mickeyharding428]

Back when you couldn’t pull shit up on a phone. He legit presented Polaroid’s.

[@MrNategriffin]

jerry lewis loved martin. they appeared together on stage on i think the mda telethon. it's on you tube.

[@JohnNiemsMusic]

At the end of the clip you can tell that Martin has already decided to leave SNL which he did!

[@lindaf4836]

I tink dey only signed fer 1 yeer awl awlong

[@rickploddingzombieproducti1530]

The biggest mistake NBC made at that time was not bringing back at least Short and Billy Crystal for the Fall '85 season.

[@dongiller]

It may not have been NBC's call but instead Marty's and Billy's decision -- one season was enough for them.

[@antoineemory6772]

Y WOULD U SAY THAT RICK SNL STILL GOIN STRONG AFTER 40 PLUS YRS AINT IT DUMMBASS.

[@russellthompson9271]

He looks a lot like Barry Manilow looked like back then.

[@kevinshaughnessy4874]

I know that....!! Why would'nt I know that? Is it me? Or is it him? Am I right?

[@grumpee8432]

That Robin Williams was more Robin Williams than Robin Williams.

[@robertriley1569]

I think June Alisons hair dresser did Marty's hair

[@mansmithlegend1]

What song is Marty walking out to? I've heard him walk out to this on numerous Late Night clips.

[@dongiller]

Julian Lennon’s “Valotte.”

[@mansmithlegend1]

@@dongiller Awesome. Thanks for all your uploads, Don. You're the best.

[@sherribrtn]

He is a favorite... especially his Ed Grimley...

[@StevenTorrey]

For these comedians who one suspects have great deficiencies in brain wiring, it is commendable that he never did himself in with drugs or alcohol abuse, as so many of his comedic peers did.

[@erinmorris8188]

What did you mean? Comedians with raging ADHD? Agreed

[@ranatlas]

Why was the clip with Nathan Thurm cut from this? Copyright issue?

[@dongiller]

Precisely.

[@carrite]

"It depends on the money."

[@cluman1]

The Noel Coward joke fell flat but it was hilarious.

[@Orangelemonblue]

I'm a big fan of marty...but he's much funnier when he's in character

[@denali9643]

Ed Grimley is Jiminy Glick’s Father….

[@StevenTorrey]

Is he wearing a wig? Sure looks like it.

[@lindaf4836]

In the clips, yeah. But on the show and in real life, no.

[@iadorenewyork1]

This was the 80s. A perm, no doubt.

[@NELOPES7]

Omg hahahahahahahhh
