Match Game has been on and off the air since 1982, and ABC is bringing it back again. This time, the game show will be hosted by Martin Short, and it will not be short on jokes.

Actually, the game show that asks six celebrities to fill in the blanks might have too many jokes! I am sure the outtakes are going to be so much better than what we will see because what doesn’t make air will probably need to be censored. That is why it sucks that it is on broadcast television because the censors are so prudish.

Short is taking over for Alec Baldwin, who did the job from 2016 to 2021. He almost came up short on the job because Deadline is reporting that Sarah Jessica Parker was up for the gig, but the deal was never signed. That is a great thing because she is as funny as Donald Trump trying to do standup.

Over the weekend, 30 Rock was filled with celebrities who were celebrating Saturday Night Live’s 50th. What happens if you put a lot of people in a packed room these days? COVID! And SNL was no different.

Steve Martin revealed two of the people who came down with it. “Maya had Covid. Marty has Covid. I wonder why? The SNL 50th Covid curse is real.”

Because Short tested positive, they have to reschedule this weekend’s date until October. It is not all bad news for those who were supposed to because Steve promised them, “I think we’ll be funnier then, anyway.” As if they could get any funnier than they already are.

When it comes to “the SNL 50th COVID curse,” Martin has not said anyone else who got it. But with so many older legends there, like Garrett Morris, Cher, Lorne Michaels, Jack Nicholson, Paul Simon, Paul McCartney, Meryl Streep, Jane Curtain, Bill Murray, Billy Crystal, and Steve Martin, who were there, I hope it was none of them.

Back in 1986, Steve Martin Short and Chevy Chase saddled up for The Three Amigos, and they delighted audiences with their hilarious western.

Now, almost 38 years after the release of their movie, they reunited when Chase went to see his dos amigos perform at Foxwoods.

I never thought we would see them together again (because Chase is Chase), but here they are. And this photo brought me such joy.

Maybe they will do a sequel where they return to Santa Poco. Imagine these three men, who are all over 70, trying to recapture their glory. Picture them trying to get on the horses like they used to. It would be hysterical. Hollywood make this happen! I won’t sue if you like my idea!

We are two episodes into season 4 of Only Murders in the Building, but Hulu isn’t waiting to order another cycle of the series. So, today, the streamer picked it up for another murder.

The question is, who will die in the season finale? Since we have eight episodes to go, there is no way to know this early on.

But since we know the series, which stars Steve Martin Short and Selena Gomez, will be back, we know that it will end in a cliffhanger—just like the last two seasons.
