I'm an eastener who went west years ago. While living in Kamloops I met a tourist couple and asked where they were from. They answered "Toronto." I played dumb and said, "Toronto, Toronto. Isn't the a little east of Hamilton?" They gave me the long look but probably assumed I didn't know about the sports rivalry and other factors causing the intense dislike between the two cities. I was laughing inside but kept a serious face.

When I was in Junior High, I was lucky enough to be on the SCTV Christmas special, in scene where there was a boys choir. Martin and John Candy came by to say hi to the rest of the cast and happened to pop in to say hi to us as well. I have to say those were two of the nicest guys you'll ever want to meet. It was an incredible experience. We were just kids, and they took quite a bit of time to hang with us. Candy wasn't even on the show...he just came by. Haha. Martin is a great guy and we are all luckier for having him in our lives through television and movies.

[@singtweetypie]

Mert, Martin Short and Eugene Levy met at McMaster University where they became great friends. They decided to try out for 'Godspell' which was launching a production in Toronto in 1972. In that production was Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Gilda Radner, Paul Shaffer, Andrea Martin, Victor Garber, Dave Thomas, Jayne Eatwood , and Nancy Dolman who became Martin's wife after he dated Gilda Radner. I was lucky enough to be in that audience as a young teenager. That cast then went on to be part of Second City improv comedy club when it opened in Toronto in 1973. The first club opened in Chicago in 1959 (Chicago is called the Second City as a dig by New Yorker's). The Toronto cast included other Canadian comics like John Candy, Catherine O'Hara, Mike Meyers, Robin Duke, Rick Moranis, Dan Akroyd, and American comedians Joe Flaherty, Harold Ramis and others. From that Toronto cast came the Canadian produced, brilliantly funny, SCTV (Second City Television) that ran for eight years. Lorne Michaels, another Canadian, was the creative force behind Saturday Night Live (NY)- and took many of the Canadian comedians from SCTV to appear on SNL. I went to every Second City Toronto production a few times a year along with visits to Yuk Yuk's, a stand up comedy club in Toronto where Jim Carrey, Norm McDonald, Russell Peters etc appeared, and saw all these guys when they were starting out. Many of Martin Short's characters, such as Ed Grimley, were created back in those early days of Second City. I love all these guys so much, and it's hard to have a favourite as they are all so talented - and they are all still good friends, hanging out with each other at their cottages in the Muskoka's. Just to add to the history, we have the largest international comedy festival in Montreal called 'Just for Laughs' that started in 1983, along with a television show of the same name. Sadly, 'Just for Laughs' is cancelled for 2024 while the company tries to recoup after financial issues after Covid.

[@sachospunn3809]

I loved "Godspell". I was 15 and took the GO train from Oakville with some friends to see it while it was still at the Royal Alex. I remember having to make a mad dash back to Union Station so we didn't miss the last train back to Oakville, lol. I still have my playbill & ticket stub!

[@HRHDMKYT]

Have you read Martin Short’s memoir? I usually have trouble reading non-fiction, but being from Hamilton, thought I should know more about our greatest comedian. He’s an excellent storyteller, I highly recommend that book.

[@Lakeshore14]

@@singtweetypie Thanks much for the historical background on some of Canada’s greatest comedians. Some of it I knew but you added some great information. Enjoyed reading it. Makes me think of my Dad who loved comedians. I remember him making my sister and I watch Ed Sullivan whenever his favourites were on, Wayne and Shuster. 👏👏🥰

[@singtweetypie]

@@Lakeshore14 Thank you so much. We also watched Ed Sullivan and the Dean Martin Show as they were my dad's favourites shows as well - and he also liked comedians. Wayne and Shuster were very clever, and Ed loved them. I always followed the careers of all those comedians I saw so early on. Coincidentally, my eldest sister was a singer in the band 'Jason' which Steve and Morag Smith started before they went on to produce the ' Smith and Smith' TV show and then Steve went on to produce the 'Red Green Show'. My sister was a very talented singer, and even then, Steve and Morag were doing comedy bits on stage which was very different for a band during those times. I'm glad Steve had such success with his career, as he is such a lovely man. Here's a bit of trivia for you:. Andrea Martin was/is a sister in law to Martin Short, and they are aunt/uncle to each other's children. Andrea married Bob Dolman, brother of Nancy Dolman - Marty's wife's .They have since divorced.

[@singtweetypie]

@@HRHDMKYT No I haven't, but appreciate the recommendation. Martin is such a clever man, so bright, that I totally expect his book would be brilliant. My favourite movies of his are 'Simple Wish' where he played the hilarious role of a fairy godmother and of course Father of the Bride 1 and 2. My daughters and I watched these movies so many times and know every joke. I just love the guy and was heartbroken for him that he lost his wife so early on.

[@adrianmcgrath1984]

If you want to see who Martin Short is, there is an interview with Kathy Lee Gifford that speaks volumes. Kathy Lee has had a near constant run of fluffy, feel good daytime talk shows forever- live tv for housewives and shut ins . Around 2012 Martin was a guest on the show and Kathy brought up his wife, the fact that they’d been married so long, how lovely she was and how much they were still in love. What she didn’t know was that his wife Nancy had died 18 months previously, from terrible cancer. You can possibly sense some surprise for a split second, but he immediately goes along with it, and doesn’t let her know until the commercial break. For someone referred to as the 'scourge of talk show hosts' this was a very instantaneous act of kindness. He didn’t want to embarrass a host and didn’t want to bring down an audience or derail the show. You can see that it was more than just professionalism, his instant reaction was to save the host.

[@adrianmcgrath1984]

I'll add that his humour is not mine, but from everything I’ve seen and heard, he is a genuinely lovely guy

[@TheDarkPorkins]

How does an interviewer NOT know that sort of info? and after 18 months?

[@scottshannon9646]

He demonstrated the class that I wish every celebrity would. I've heard only one story of him losing his temper, and it was to defend extras from an irate director.

[@HRHDMKYT]

@@TheDarkPorkins Martin’s wife was not a famous celebrity, and he and his actor friends all seemed to keep their marriage partners safe from the limelight and paparazzi. But Lee-Gifford’s staff definitely should’ve added this to the background research they’re supposed to do on every guest to help out the hosts.

[@singtweetypie]

I watched that show - only because Martin Short was on it. My heart was breaking for him as he responded to Kathy Lee Gifford's uninformed questions about his wife. He is such a classy act.

[@BillTarling]

I was on the Canadian game show "Definition" back in 1978 with Martin Short & Patrick Macnee... Something just clicked with Martin & I, and immediately fell into perfect ad lib rhythm during the commercial breaks. While the host, Patrick, and the other guest contestant were cracking up laughing; we just continued to play off each other faster and faster while the others couldn't stop laughing. We went all the way into the 'Back From Commercial' countdown, all the way until the count reach 3 [5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Back Recording], and timed it perfectly to both simultaneously look very calm, serious, and utterly confused at what all the others were laughing about. I always loved improv and adlibbing, so getting that chance early on when I was still in my teens to play off of a true improv artist of his caliber was so much fun.

A relative of mine had a summer job near Lake Rosseau in Muskoka. Her first table that she was serving as a staff member was leaving and one guy turned to her and said, "I would like to reserve a table for 7 people at 7:00 pm. She asked him who's name the reservation would be under and he looked at her in surprise and said, Martin Short. After he found out that she was going to the same University he did and stayed in the same residence at the University, he was happy to chat we her. The Muskoka area in Ontario, is a little like Hollywood North in the summer and so I guess some celebrities are a little surprised, when people don't recognize them.

As a Canadian who loves British comedy, I'm so happy you recognized Martin Short as the brilliant Canadian comedian he is. And you're right: his sarcasm and put-down wit is the opposite of his loving and kind nature in his personal life. His savage impressions of Jerry Lewis - whom I used to love until I discovered what a horrible persons he was IRL - are so accurate, it's scary...even down to his looks. Little known fact: unless you've seen his special from Toronto: he sings beautifully!

I am Canadian, and I have been entertained by Martin Short for decades. That said, I have never seen such a great episode showing his lengthy career and exposing his life. You really did him justice, and thank you for educating me. He sounds like a great humanitarian and is such a light. I believe another one worth exploring would be Catherine O'Hara. She is great in so many SCTV skits like "Rome, Italian Style" with Andrea Martin, and Schitt's Creek.

He is definitely in the top ten. There is Ryan Reynolds(Deadpool), Jim Carey(Ace Ventura) but Mike Myers of Austin Powers, Wayne's World and Shrek fame probably takes the cake. Marty lives about 30 minutes from my home and he is just a prodigy. He fits in that Eugene Levy(American Pie), John Candy(Uncle Buck) category. Canadians are underrated for their sense of humour. Yes, humour has two u's in our country. I'm tried of being fact checked by Americans that don't understand that the English language we speak evolved from ENGLAND. (I have used the words defensemen and back-catcher in comments and never lived it down.) Thanks Mert for making this video. If you want to know about any Canadian Celeb's reach out I'm a bit of an encyclopedia. My Wife likely was involved in the building of their Muskoka Home.

[@-R.Gray-]

At the beginning of every Letterman (and later Conan) appearance he would make a joke about the way Dave looked. These were all written before hand. In fact the guests on talk shows usually went over the topics in pre-interviews with segment producers. There's nothing worse than a talk show guest with nothing to say. One guy who didn't go by that formula was Craig Ferguson, who would rip up the cards of topics at the beginning of interviews. See his interviews with Ricky Gervais and Robin Williams. Another thing that Short would do on Letterman's show is sing musical numbers written for specific occasions.

[@saymynameice-zen-berg511]

One of the coolest things that I’ve seen by him, was after his wife died he was on a talk show and the interviewer was joking and asking questions about his marriage not knowing his wife had died. He handled it with such dignity and respect. The love audiences through on him was off the charts.
