[@manuel3hernandez]

Martin Short is such a legend to have brought his assistant on with him

[@MrPhotodoc]

Yet the promo was Steve holding the Martin "dummy". Classic may I say French humor?

[@randydaytona5615]

Exactly

[@RomyArena]

And visa versa!

[@thrill1999]

They should've used your joke!

[@danielgregory3295]

Shows how great Steve is--willing to be the straight man when called for! 😌🖖

[@MrPhotodoc]

Oh God, when Martin starts yelling at Steve like they are an old married couple! I lost it. Such a great comedy team.

[@Internmilked]

😅😅😅

[@LashayneHampton]

@@Internmilked too funny 😂

[@RomyArena]

I think they *are* married! You gotta read Martin Short's latest book, 'I Must Say: My Life as a Humble Comedy Legend, and you'll get great insight into their friendship!

[@MM180.9]

Are you blind, it's all scripted and forced, nothing spontaneous, nothing real, all contrived hearing what you want to hear Cue cards on a talk show is ridiculous while actually being interviewed

[@108grog]

I just wish Steve had let his lids lower, nodded his head slightly, and began a little bit of a ... snore.

[@tyrant-den884]

Love that Steve Martin has reached the point where he can be the funniest man in a room of comedic geniuses without putting in any _visible_ effort.

[@simplenough]

Fallon is NOT a comic genius.

Don't understand why people don't just refer to them as Steve Martin Short. The 2nd Martin is redundant and they are basically joined at the hip at this point.

[@jrabbt7463]

[@mavfan1]

Such an old joke…

[@starchild2358]

Right ❤

[@ThomasSawyers]

Way to repeat someone elses joke

[@MigukChelovek]

@@ThomasSawyers Its not that clever a joke dumbass. You don't think it's possible more than one person came up with it on their own? I literally thought of it years ago, but never had an occasion to post it because I'll admit, it's kind of stupid and anyone with half a brain cell could come up with it.

[@baconsuspenders]

It truly warms my heart to see two legendary icons like this still crushing it after all these years. Love them... and LOVE Only Murders in the Building! If you haven't watched it yet, trust me... it does NOT disappoint.

[@lori-annefay4138]

Everytime I see an episode of "Only Murders In the Building" it makes me want to move to New York. I adore the show! It proves some of us get better and better with age. Selena Gomez is a gem and how lucky is she to get two work with these two wild men.

[@randydaytona5615]

Poor Martin Short

[@kiddo.vicious]

💯!

[@LiveDonkeyDeadLion]

There is one thing about OMITB that disappoints me. I am still waiting to find out what happened to Paul Rudd!

Steve Martin in the Mike Pence biopic...!

[@NeoSoul84]

That was hilarious lmao

[@waylonnicholson371]

I love this. Makes me miss all the times Short would come onto Conan and troll him throughout each interview.

[@timbir]

Martin Short absolute kills any interview he's does. There are plenty of comedians who are unable (or unwilling) to adapt their comedic style to the changing times, but he is certainly not one of them. All of his jokes still manage to feel fresh. It's also unreal how much energy he still has for someone his age.

[@mangafq8]

He's only 72 which doesn't sound old to me as I'm 69 with 2 jobs and so forth and so on.

[@c.rutherford]

He had a really funny appearance with Bette Davis in her last years, its on KZbin somewhere. She totally trolled him by pretending his impression of her was so bad she couldn't recognize it lol

[@tonyhughes110]

He kind of reminds me of another legend, Don Rickles, in that he can just riff like it's nothing. You get the sense that he doesn't even have to have prepared material, he just goes with what pops in his head off the cuff. He's always been a delight.

[@blackgrl71]

Remember his movie, "Clifford?!"😂😂😂😂

[@mae674]

"Yes, we're busier than Nick Cannon's child support lawyer" I AM WEAK. Will always be a fan of these two.

[@michelle5073]

I'll say it once and I'll say it again, Martin Short is a LEGEND and we NEED him more on the big screen because he is everything

[@bobdylansdaughter]

I kind of wish they'd come on a little less prepared. It's all ba-dum-dum jokes. They are both naturally funny and it would be nice to just see them gently riff and actually get a breath in. This appearance was just okay.

The perfect comedy partnership! The Martins can do straight man or punch line; know not to step on another's lines, aren't offended by deprecating humor, have an impeccable knowledge of how to structure a joke from start to finish, and can handle the unforeseen diversion without blinking a funny bone.
