Martin Short's Roast Of Stephen Colbert

[@mollydtt]

Man, Martin Short's brain works faster than anyone else's on this planet. I could listen to him all day.

[@chadmaronde8719]

only Robin Williams could keep up!

[@yokie52]

I love him, but you know he does his homework.

[@Allagi22]

No disrespect to the living legend Martin Short, but nobody was faster than Robin Williams. Check out some of his interviews with Craig Ferguson. The man was 50+ and still as sharp as an axe.

[@DesertScorpionKSA]

@@spunz83ify This is true. In his book, he states he always prepares before going on a talk show.

[@IgnorancEnArrogance]

Him and Robin Williams should have collaborated more, but maybe it would have been too much for us to handle.

[@BloodnightStudios]

I love Martin short. He is genuinely one of the most underrated comedians of all time! He’s so genuinely happy, sharp, quick, witty, intelligent and zany.

[@sheltr9735]

Ha! Very true (and "zany" is not a compliment to throw-around casually)

[@renayesimmons4070]

And humble

[@mekan0001]

I agree with you, especially for when you wrote this comment, but he is finally getting the recognition he has long deserved with Only Murders in the Building.

[@dc1502]

Martin Short is one of the best talk show guests ever.

[@EdwardBIl]

And hosts.

[@beardown2489]

Right behind Robin Williams. Right next to Norm Macdonald. Love them all

[@sgtpepper1138]

He's always a pleasure to watch, he makes it so easy for the hosts.

[@msmoniz]

Martin is one of the greatest exports from my city, Hamilton, Ontario Canada. Even though he's lived in California for over 30 years, he still comes "home" all the time to visit his family and support so many local causes. He's never forgotten where he comes from and what made him. He's one of the good ones!

[@brownkemosabe]

Michael Moniz dear man, Canadians are generally Good Ones. :D

[@msmoniz]

Karan Gera Thank you I appreciate the compliment 😁. But don’t forget we had Rob Ford 😖

[@Miniluvsu]

Of course he moved to the USA; just like all the other Canadian comedians and actors. Who could stand being in irrelevant Canada! You would pick up their infamous inferiority complex! haha

I could watch Martin Short have a conversation about anything all day long. Laugh out loud funny over and over again.

[@jul9cuz]

I could watch Martin Short talk in his sleep and it would be laugh out loud funny all night long.

[@thebrazilianatlantis165]

Be sure to watch the movie Get Over It. Marty is wonderful and it's a charming movie in general.

[@tyro244]

You should read his book - I Must Say: My Life As a Humble Comedy Legend

[@dross2172]

@@thebrazilianatlantis165 I love the movie "Pure Luck". Perfect all-around cast.

[@photo161]

...Yes, Short's almost funny enough to make Colbert seem tolerable...

[@amalzuhair4495]

Clark Kent meets Rachel Maddow I’ve never heard a more accurate description in my entire existence.

[@francesvainglory9401]

@pete smyth Colbert offended? Must be a projection.

[@tluangaclyde8652]

I think that is so accurate. Colbert's impression of Maddow is pretty spot on.

[@klyanadkmorr]

Atleast I'm not the only one who thinks Stephen & Rachael Maddow look like fraternal mutant-identical twins

[@RustinChole]

That was so spot on😂

[@calebdrew5684]

I love how he opens his mouth and bits of history fall out.

[@a.murdoch5446]

He may have brushed over it, but this man definitely deserved the Order of Canada. Great man

[@christopherwall444]

My favorite comedian..I read he works very hard to prepare for talk shows

[@michelrenaud3431]

The mere presence of Martin Short is uplifting. When he speaks, it is party time inside my brain.

[@jabom99]

"Paul looks different" Brilliant.

[@NKA23]

"That whole Clark Kent meets Rachel Maddow look". Wow....that was on point.

[@awashington8447]

Its Martin Short, so you can never really tell if he's genuinely complimenting you or trolling you.......and I love it 😂😂

[@davidjorgensen877]

It's neither. And both. He's Glicking you!

[@gastondeveaux3783]

Sounded like he was channelling Jiminy Glick !

[@joanneleddick4857]

Both...

[@renayesimmons4070]

It's both😅😅😅

[@richardforgetcanada]

I love this guy. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him do a boring interview.

[@NilsFerry]

Martin Short kills me every time. He seems to be 100% on his game at all times.

[@m.c.5795]

Stephen, I love you bringing on older, classic comedians on the show. They are all genuinely funny while allowing the conversation to flow naturally, without any ego, pretense, or gimmick. It’s great to watch.

[@aristotle736]

Every host seems to genuinely enjoy having Martin Short as a guest.A legendary comic and a lovely human being.

[@johnking5174]

What a truly nice, funny man Martin is. His warmth just oozes out from him. Love him.

[@TorToroPorco]

When Martin casually mentions that Gilda Radner had been his girlfriend you get a sense of the pedigree and the company of fellow performers he came from. Truly legendary.

[@nanceemoes7995]

I had to pause the video when he mentioned that, to recover. Sheesh. 😲

[@shawnsimmons1308]

"Your audience is the most.....recent." lol

[@madvillain9]

Its even funnier that the audience missed it 🤣

[@shoegal]

I typically don't watch the clips with guests, just the monologues, but I took a chance on this and it paid off. So funny!

[@afafbouardi5905]

Same here.

[@athews1976]

Martin Gives me Hilary Clinton vibes for some reason. He makes *Hilary Clinton faces* :P~ That's fucking Hilarious -(no pun intended). X[] hehe...

If only we could all be half as quick as Martin Short at his age, I think we would all be happy people.

[@pbldrum]

Our band played at Andrea Martin's wedding in So Portland in the early eighties and this little dude (Martin Short) gets up on stage and asks us to a play a standard blues shuffle as he sang an impromptu song about Andrea and their group of friends. We didn't know who he was, but he was amazingly talented and funny.

[@singtweetypie]

Andrea Martin was married to Bob Dolman - brother of Nancy Dolman, Martin Short's wife. So Andrea Martin was/is a sister in law to Martin Short. That's amazing that you got the gig.

[@PatriCoop]

This guy is HYSTERICAL. Love him and Steve Martin❤️❤️❤️

[@ABC-yt1nq]

If you can listen to Martin's autobiography on audio, which he reads. Hilarious, touching, and heartbreaking.

[@youclavicle]

I'm very impressed of the fact that Stephen Colbert knows that Bavaria is landlocked! I've been asked the most stupid questions about my home country while visiting the U.S. ("How's Hitler doing?", "What's it like to have Korea as a neighbour?"). This was refreshing, thank you!

[@sweiland75]

He is not American. He is Canadian.

[@AisuruMirai]

@@sweiland75 Stephen Colbert is not Canadian.

[@rsmith02]

Don't leave us hanging about the Korea question

[@gastondeveaux3783]

It's simple geography. Stephen is obviously a well read man. Unfortunately the average american knows very little. They don't even know their own country, let alone the rest of the world.

[@randomsomeone1617]

Im confused. Mr Short was a favorite actor of mine when i was a kid. Now I feel old, and he looks like a middle aged, hilarious actor. Well either way, god bless him!

[@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494]

He gets panda placenta from a whole different source...

[@afafbouardi5905]

#botox #surgicalintervention

[@RampantArtist]

no, he was middle aged when you were a kid... now he looks quite old.

[@schwaiger1995]

68 = middle aged. K.

[@mloftin6472]

Isnt he over 70 years old?

[@jackiesantangelo6610]

It appears that Martin has thrown Mr Colbert off a wee bit. He is razor sharp

[@NJ-wb1cz]

Didn't see him throwing a wee bit, but yeah, he'd had to have something razor sharp to pull that off.

[@convilcali]

Colbert is a butter knife compared to Martin Short!!

[@TJamesBell]

@Jackie Santangelo Truth.

[@photo161]

...__ Comedy requires talent, which Short has in abundance, As for Colbert, he used to try passing himself off as a comedian, but was clearly un-funny, so he switched to amateur political commentary, which while it is often inadvertently funny, requires no talent whatsoever..perfect for Colbert...

[@raysofunny]

He's truly amazing. Never tries to steal the show

[@Lesinator]

I feel like the line “you look like the worlds hippest insurance adjuster” didn’t get the laugh it deserved. That was a bloody good line

[@robpelick7460]

When you think about it, an insurance adjuster would be a better, (and funnier) host than Stephen Colbert.

[@danaglass1265]

Martin Short makes me so happy. He’s a legend.

[@infinityinfinityinfi]

I thought Paul Shafer was hilarious on David Letterman, but i never knew he was Second City alumnus! And man, I'm on Martin Short binge. He IS HILARIOUS 😂

[@MrOoofah]

It's amazing just how fast Short's mind works- he's always ready with a funny story or quick retort. Sheer brilliance.

[@redrumcoke2363]

Martin Short is criminally underrated.

[@threetreasures7698]

Absolutely!!

[@rgrndu-r7p]

How so?😊

[@renayesimmons4070]

And insane 😂😂😂😂

[@redrumcoke2363]

@user-lo9cp2kr7s As talented as he is, he just never really received the recognition that some of his contempories did, while possessing incredibly quit wit and improvisational skill. He never really assended in notariaty in a way I feel he truly deserved.

“Clark Kent meets Rachel Maddow.” 😂

[@pimentoso]

I think movies like "Inner Space" or "The Three Amigos" didn't do enough justice to Martin Short, but now I have a whole new degree of respect for him after I saw his show of celebrity interviews, playing "Jiminy Glick". They are legendary funny!

[@mrmoloch4033]

Great and unexpected cricket impersonation at 3:50.
