As a long-time fan who has witnessed the evolution of comedy since the days of vaudeville, let me tell you that Martin Short’s return to Saturday Night Live is like a warm, comforting blanket on a cold winter’s night. It’s a nostalgic trip down memory lane, but with a twist of modern-day wit and sarcasm that only he can deliver.
Martin Short is undeniably a comedy great; there’s no debate about it. To verify this, simply take a peek at the Hulu original comedy series, “Only Murders in the Building” (which has garnered several Golden Globe nominations) on the 2024 TV schedule. However, if you’re yearning for some new wit and sass from this iconic Canadian-American figure, brace yourself for a serving of fresh humor – or perhaps a dose of freshly served roasts – as exemplified in a clip where Short playfully skewers Jimmy Fallon.
The event that caused these two individuals to meet was when one of SCTV’s best performers took over hosting duties on Saturday Night Live. And he quickly made use of relevant jokes about Luigi Mangione and the ongoing Diddy scandals in this clip from The Tonight Show’s YouTube channel.
It’s quite unexpected that this video section hasn’t triggered any warnings for breaching YouTube guidelines, given it might be symbolically likened to depicting a gruesome killing. However, feel free to make your own judgment, as you can see the entire display of intellectual sparring and physical humor in the video below:
There’s no mistake when it comes to Mr. Short’s quick, cheerful jabs. This recent round of jokes makes me believe that the upcoming SNL host’s episode might give a fitting end to the 2024 TV season with panache. Not just Jimmy Fallon, but also Steve Martin, a friend and co-star from “Only Murders in the Building,” were playfully teased during this session.
In a more sober note, a former Saturday Night Live cast member opened up about his challenging term during one of the show’s most contentious seasons. He referred to the program as “stressful,” and shared a common ground with Late Night Show host regarding their unusual instances of anxiety stemming from the comedy establishment.
Fans who enjoy the show produced by Lorne Michaels would concur with what’s often referred to as Ed Grimley: even after the incident depicted (as shown in the YouTube video submitted as proof), the mischief didn’t stop there.
Wrapping up an action-packed discussion filled with comical altercations stemming from what appeared to be trivial disputes, Mr. Short’s behavior serves as yet another piece of evidence disproving those who argue that his ‘annoying’ act is unfounded.
Enthusiasts of Martin Short can rejoice in his appearance on SNL this weekend, which will broadcast live on NBC at 11:35pm ET. If you’re unable to catch it as it airs, fear not! The craziness can still be enjoyed the following day through a Peacock subscription!
Regardless of the outcome, I’ll certainly stay tuned to social media that night because it seems unlikely that Steve Martin won’t show up, given Martin Short’s statement. After all, one of Saturday Night Live’s most memorable Christmas sketches featuring these two is still a hot topic, and missing such an opportunity would be quite irrational.
