Last week, some guy wrote an article saying that Martin Short is not funny. And no one agreed with him.
Several comedians and actors came to Short’s defense. Because, as we know, he is naturally hysterical.
In fact, he is so funny that just seeing him can make other people turn into comedians. Case in point. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar ran into the Only Murders in the Building star on a plane, posted a photo, and wrote, “On a flight with someone who lived up (or down) to his name.”
That makes us laugh because even though Short is short, so is almost anyone else who stands next to the 7’2″ tall basketball legend.
But the jokes didn’t stop there. When Wonder Woman, aka Lynda Carter, saw the photo, she wrote to Abdul-Jabbar, “Wait a minute. Aren’t you the co-pilot??” If you don’t get that reference, then you need to watch Airplane ASAP. You have not experienced humor until you have seen that film.
So that clueless asshole who wrote the article, let’s see you make us laugh. Didn’t think you could do it.
Only Murders in the Building is busy filming its third season, and Steve Martin is spilling secrets from the set.
First, he revealed that Meryl Streep was joining the Hulu show. And now, he posted photos of Selena Gomez in a wedding gown while he and Martin Short were in tuxes.
So is Mabel getting married? And who is marrying? We don’t know. We are just going to have to wait until the show is back to find out.
But until then, I will assume they are filming a sequel to Father of the Bride.
We know that Only Murders in the Building is shifting focus for season three. They are leaving the building and heading down the Great White Way. If you are going to Broadway, you are going to need some big stars, and they have them.
We knew that Selena Gomez and Steve Martin Short were going to be joined by Paul Rudd on the Hulu comedy. And today, we learned who will be sharing the spotlight with them. That person is the legendary Meryl Streep!
If Only Murders doesn’t sweep the award shows next year, then those voters need to be taught what funny is. Sorry Abbott Elementary and Ted Lasso, but they Streeped you!
Steve Martin has hosted Saturday Night Live 15 times. Therefore, he can do it in his sleep. However, his friend Martin Short has only done it three times, so he needs some assistance. Luckily, he will be getting it from his amigo when they host SNL together on December 10th.
Personally, I think they should give all of the Not-Ready-For-Primetime-Players off that night and just let Steve Martin Short do the whole show by themselves. Well, except when they let Brandi Carlile do her thing and sing. And I guess Colin Jost and Michael Che can still do the Weekend Update. But leave everything else up to the two men who are looking into murders in the building. How awesome would that be?
BTW Austin Butler will be hosting the following week, and I can’t wait to see him nail it.
I never knew that Jimmy Fallon was a masochist, but he is. Why do I say that? Because yesterday, he challenged Martin Short to a dissing contest on The Tonight Show. The only people who would do that are Subs who liked to be tortured. And boy, was he tortured. I have seen XXX videos with less punishment in them.
Short told his Bess Frenzz, “You are so ugly, your proctologist once said, ‘My Gd! This asshole has teeth!” He followed that up with, “Speaking of nuts, did yours ever drop?” And then it was time for one zinger, “Do you remember that time I visited you in the hospital? And it was the only time that I felt bad for a catheter.”
Talking about hospitals, Fallon did get one good insult in when he told Short, “You’re so ugly, when you were born, instead of ‘push,’ the doctor said, ‘Suck.'”
This was so hysterical; I could watch it for hours. However, I think eventually, someone would have to save Fallon from his misery. It is all fun until it isn’t.
