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

[@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.

[@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😂

[@brentfry5540]

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...

[@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

All this SCHMOOOOZING ....is giving me a headache. ..Does anyone have Pepto Bismol??

[@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😅😅😅

[@calebdrew5684]

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

[@christopherwall444]

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

[@jabom99]

"Paul looks different" Brilliant.

[@a.murdoch5446]

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

[@aristotle736]

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

[@NKA23]

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

[@shawnsimmons1308]

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

[@madvillain9]

Its even funnier that the audience missed it 🤣

[@PercivalHoward]

Martin Short is a joy to watch! Such a funny man

[@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...

[@ghostshipone]

@@athews1976 maybe time to triple your medication

[@richardforgetcanada]

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

[@johnking5174]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@NilsFerry]

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

[@AdamSno]

GOAT of late show guests

[@frankhoulihanfh4972]

I have said, and will continue to say the very same thing. ❤

[@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.

[@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...

shoegal ha ha...me too! I almost always skip them!

[@ipodnano4eva]

shoegal watch Stephen’s interview with 50 cent. That one’s worth it too!

[@CoachingHigher]

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

[@DJKevvyKevCoolBreeze]

"Clark Kent meets Rachel Maddow" WWWWWWWWWOWWWWWWWWWWW

[@JonBlondell]

He did a dramatic role on Law and Order. He Killed it!

[@RodolfLeclerc]

Thanks a lot for ruining it for me by telling who is the culprit in that episode!

[@sduran17]

"Paul looks different" lmao!

[@danaglass1265]

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

[@angusfairtheoir]

What a relief it must be for a talk-show host to see Martin Short on the roster.

[@kaitlin2400]

I absolutely love Martin Short! I don’t think I could ever get sick of him ❤️❤️

[@afafbouardi5905]

Only takes me about 6 minutes.

[@kaitlin2400]

Afaf Bouardi no one cares

[@RU-zm7wj]

Odd compliment??

[@habbogigi]

Martin Short is a national treasue

[@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494]

some Aussies quite like him too :)

[@bloodhun23]

He's a Canadian.

[@lexdunn4160]

Yes, Canada's national treasure

[@ShanteYouStay]

International Treasure!!

[@raysofunny]

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

[@gabrielvazquez1691]

How can you not like Martin Short? He's Awesome.

[@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.

[@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.

[@mariesia0525]

I see Martin Short I click! 😀

[@firesyde424]

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

[@hks2377]

“Clark Kent meets Rachel Maddow.” 😂

[@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 😂

[@mrmoloch4033]

Great and unexpected cricket impersonation at 3:50.

[@NJ-wb1cz]

Every Canadian comes with a free cricket in their mouth.

[@ABC-yt1nq]

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

[@marthakimberly2180]

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

[@vahurjoa210]

I like that Stephen is genuinly interested in the old stories

[@brookemarjorie]

You know youre Canadian when you pronounce Toronto, "Torono" 🤣

[@JCourts2k23]

Martin short is my favorite, love seeing him on all the shows, wish he would host SNL more

[@liferiot]

Short is so quick and witty that it seems like someone is literally writing his lines in real life.

[@LuciDOne2]

"Is that Febreeze??" Lmaoo I gotta use that

[@scottcates]

Martin Short *always* makes me smile and puts me in a better mood🤩

[@Jeaniesunshine-fb5rk]

Multi talented Martin Short . My fav.

[@drumspirit3332]

If short and Robin Williams ever worked on something together it would have been insane.

[@MissLilyputt]

I love Martin Short. He’s so funny.

[@pingbounce2851]

“It’s the Clark Kent-meets-Rachel Maddow look” , genius 😂

[@brookeruskin]

That Clark Kent and Rachel Maddow line though. So accurate.

[@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?

[@amesharlem9325]

Colbert's doing his best to not help him out.

[@jpgnzlz]

I didn’t realize how much of a great comedian Martin Short is. He is amazing!!!

[@organboi]

You simply must watch his Jiminy Glick show. Greatest thing ever.

[@paintinganimalsonrocks7633]

Duh!

[@lilshabaz1862]

01:59 I love that he's can't say Paul's name without, if only for half a second, dropping into an impersonation.

[@BlakieTT]

"this is the most recent" Hahahaha off to a great start!

[@CB-zt6qs]

Rapid fire brilliance.

[@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...

[@MsRowsdower]

Not often you see Colbert trying to keep up lol I grew up on SCTV Love every one of them♥️

[@jovincebrillantes1042]

Dude, I loved Jiminy Glick

[@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494]

me too!

[@christopherjamesboudoir]

I love how Martin can sharply insult you, but in the nicest way possible! Lol.

[@townsville69]

I would love to see Martin Short in a psycho thriller like Robin Williams in One hour photo. He would be terrifying and amazing.

[@digislr7277]

He had a dark serious role in season 3 of Damages and he was great.

[@meeowmeeowmeeow]

townsville69 Robin Williams was fantastic in Insomnia as well. Watch it if you haven't already. It's a stellar cast, and all of them are at the top of their game.

[@jamesberger9312]

I think there's a pretty wonderful SVU with him in it

[@JoseSandoval-uf5gq]

James Berger Yes! He was fantastic in SVU, but Robin William was also great in SVU

[@replicantona]

townsville69 Watch Martin Short in Inherent Vice, he was absolutely fantastic.

[@jaycannon2099]

That Maddow joke was fire. Martin needs his own show.

I've been to Shakespeare's in Hamilton many times. Best restaurant I've ever been to by far!

[@StevenTorrey]

A very very little trinket for the lapel for Canadian Knighthood!

[@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. 😲

[@vahurjoa210]

I love that Martin Short adjusted to Stephen and his show. All these politicians and real journalists

Martin Short is a North American Treasure!! love that guy, his book is my most favorite book to listen too.. because he narrated it and made it so alive. every time I see him do a interview, it makes you wish you had him as a friend. as far as the talk show that would be the "eric" of the group, that would be james corden

[@Sun0981]

It's all Clark Kent meet Rachel Maddow thing😂😂😂

[@DesertScorpionKSA]

I just read Martin Short's book "I Must Say: My Life As a Humble Comedy Legend" and this story is in it. I must say his stories are better when he tells them in person.
