The amount of talent in that room is mind boggling. Three absolute powerhouses that have each in their own way shaped the landscape of comedy and touched so many people. If you were to tally up the amount of laughs each of them have evoked, I'd have to assume it would be a number so big you wouldn't even no how to pronounce it. 500 gabagoolion laughs.

I will never be able to get enough of Martin Short. I about had a heart attack when they first announced OMitB, then again when they announced season 2 and again with season 3. I LOVE him and Steve's dynamic. Martin Short is easily the best talk show host guest. He just murders it. And him roasting Steve at his award ceremony had me crying. God bless him.

[@oantran8060]

ok

[@MelissaMorrison-vh7gz]

I agree. He ruins me. So many A listers its crazy but Short destroys. Remember him in the elevator in Bunnys fur.....penatrada!

Martin Short is so underrated. He’s so witty and does it all. Physical and mental comedy. Great impersonations. Just interesting all around.

[@du3223]

I attended McMaster university in Hamilton in the 1980’s a few years after Martin Short was a student there. Part of the first year psych course was video clips of various conditions with Marty acting them out. They weren’t meant to be comedic but they were still hilarious. He would have filmed these more than 40 years ago and he still looks about the same.

[@FomorViceroy]

I assure you he is not underrated. At all.

[@VA-gu1jq]

@@FomorViceroyRight? Somehow one of the biggest comedy legends is massively underrated. People just say whatever, whether it makes sense or not.

[@FomorViceroy]

@@VA-gu1jqPeople say that because it just means the said underrated person doesn’t make their way into their personal bubbles. They never comes across Martin Short in anything they watch and they equate that with being underrated.

Martin Short is such a treasure. He never gets less funny,and he seems like such a genuine warm-hearted person.

[@brianwitherby1958]

I had the awesome experience of seeing the show at Caesars Palace they are referring to. They don't advertise who their guest appearance is going to be before the show, so seeing Conan walk out was one of the greatest surprises of my life. The tickets were probably one of the best birthday gifts of my life from my wife!

Man I love these two on Only Murders In the Building, what a pair! Bring Conan on for season 4, that'd be awesome.

[@daeseongkim93]

I second this! Conan on Only Murders!! I can see him being so energetic and wild and crazy that he'd immediately be ruled out as a suspect or seem insane enough to actually do it

[@prodestrian]

I think he should play the murder victim, and then the whole season we learn all kinds of crazy and disturbing facts about his life. Plot twist: Conan plays himself in the show and Martin Short gets to write all the "facts" about him.

[@penelopeasmr1009]

That would be amazing! I second this

[@farukhtanveer7571]

Great idea. Run a petition pls. ❤

[@ChrisMeadows1992]

I hesitate to bring this up because it obviously shouldn't define his later career, but I was absolutely touched in seeing how Martin Short dealt with the loss of his wife. He handled it with such grace, humility and with such gratitude to his partner. It really moved me.

[@kccarrillo4793]

I don’t want to live in world without these two. Comedy gold together for sooo long. My fav of theirs is Father of the Bride. George & Franck ❤

6:07 flashback to when Jiminy Glick interviewed Steve Martin and asked what's kept him out of "the big, big money."

[@Eskay_The_Evil_Genius]

I would pay to have dinner with Marty and Conan together. They have a special chemistry together. Martin is IMO still tremendously underrated as an all time great comedian. Bring Ed Grimley back we need him now more than ever! And Steve Martin an all time great and HOFer also. Respect - and laughs - to them all.

[@pkattk]

My first introduction to Marty Short was watching Innerspace in a middle school biology class. No one really compares to his specific brand of physical comedy and comedic voice. Jiminy Glick revival when?

[@borismuller86]

I loved him in Arrested Development. *SWOOP ME!*

[@TooMuchFknPain]

He made a lot of bad movies. But Short on his own is one of the greatest comedians out there. He was bad with other people's scripts.

[@marks.3303]

@@TooMuchFknPain You can't go by his films. Some people only know him from that. But his TV work, Broadway, his work with Steve Martin, it's unparalleled.

[@WastedPo]

Yeah, he's perfect for "Only Murders." (Or maybe it's perfect for him.) I think it works so well because the other characters act as a foil to Oliver's ridiculousness. So if he's occasionally annoying or egotistical, the show is aware of it.
