Today, Hulu released the disappointing season 5 finale for Only Murders in the Building. And they hinted that next season, Steve Martin Short and Selena Gomez would be heading over the pond for season 6.
Hours after the episode premiered, the streamer confirmed that Charles (Martin), Oliver (Short), and Mabel (Gomez) are leaving New York City for London to solve their next murder that landed at their doorstep, I mean, gate.
Spoiler time: What was the point of saving The Arconia if they are not even going to be there? Just a thought.
Another thought, it feels like next season might be their last.
Before today, if someone asked me who are the most competitive game players on television, I would’ve said either Kelly Clarkson or Jimmy Fallon. Not anymore.
That title now goes to Steve Martin Short. The two of them played Catchphrase against Selena Gomez and Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, and they came to win.
However, they are not very good at games, and they don’t like losing. But they are always funny as they shit talk their opponents and themselves.
It was so much fun to watch them suck that I would love to see them get a game show where they play two people, where they can cheat and badmouth the people they are playing. The object of the game is to beat them. But if you do, you are going to have to face their wrath, so you kind of want them to win.
I can’t put a finger on it, but it looks like this season of Only Murders in the Building is going to be a hoot for Selena Gomez, Steve Martin Short, and more importantly, us.
After their beloved doorman, Lester, dies under suspicious circumstances, Charles, Oliver, and Mabel refuse to believe it was an accident. Their investigation plunges them into the shadowy corners of New York and beyond – where the trio uncovers a dangerous web of secrets connecting powerful billionaires, old-school mobsters, and the mysterious residents of the Arconia. The trio discovers a deeper divide between their storied city, which they thought they knew, and the new New York evolving around them – one where the old mob fights to hold on as newer, even more dangerous players emerge.
Are the dangerous players, who emerge, the ones they are talking about the new guest cast, or their characters? We will find out on September 9th when the first three episodes drop on Hulu.
Yesterday, ABC announced that they made the brilliant decision to have Martin Short host the newest incarnation of Match Game, and today they told us when he will be making his debut in the role, along with the rest of their Summer programming.

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.
