No disrespect to the living legend Martin Short, but nobody was faster than Robin Williams. Check out some of his interviews with Craig Ferguson. The man was 50+ and still as sharp as an axe.
I love Martin short. He is genuinely one of the most underrated comedians of all time! He’s so genuinely happy, sharp, quick, witty, intelligent and zany.
I agree with you, especially for when you wrote this comment, but he is finally getting the recognition he has long deserved with Only Murders in the Building.
Martin is one of the greatest exports from my city, Hamilton, Ontario Canada. Even though he's lived in California for over 30 years, he still comes "home" all the time to visit his family and support so many local causes. He's never forgotten where he comes from and what made him. He's one of the good ones!
Of course he moved to the USA; just like all the other Canadian comedians and actors. Who could stand being in irrelevant Canada! You would pick up their infamous inferiority complex! haha
When Martin casually mentions that Gilda Radner had been his girlfriend you get a sense of the pedigree and the company of fellow performers he came from. Truly legendary.
Stephen, I love you bringing on older, classic comedians on the show. They are all genuinely funny while allowing the conversation to flow naturally, without any ego, pretense, or gimmick. It’s great to watch.
@user-lo9cp2kr7s As talented as he is, he just never really received the recognition that some of his contempories did, while possessing incredibly quit wit and improvisational skill. He never really assended in notariaty in a way I feel he truly deserved.
Our band played at Andrea Martin's wedding in So Portland in the early eighties and this little dude (Martin Short) gets up on stage and asks us to a play a standard blues shuffle as he sang an impromptu song about Andrea and their group of friends. We didn't know who he was, but he was amazingly talented and funny.
Andrea Martin was married to Bob Dolman - brother of Nancy Dolman, Martin Short's wife. So Andrea Martin was/is a sister in law to Martin Short. That's amazing that you got the gig.
I'm very impressed of the fact that Stephen Colbert knows that Bavaria is landlocked! I've been asked the most stupid questions about my home country while visiting the U.S. ("How's Hitler doing?", "What's it like to have Korea as a neighbour?"). This was refreshing, thank you!
It's simple geography. Stephen is obviously a well read man. Unfortunately the average american knows very little. They don't even know their own country, let alone the rest of the world.
I thought Paul Shafer was hilarious on David Letterman, but i never knew he was Second City alumnus! And man, I'm on Martin Short binge. He IS HILARIOUS 😂
Im confused. Mr Short was a favorite actor of mine when i was a kid. Now I feel old, and he looks like a middle aged, hilarious actor. Well either way, god bless him!
I think movies like "Inner Space" or "The Three Amigos" didn't do enough justice to Martin Short, but now I have a whole new degree of respect for him after I saw his show of celebrity interviews, playing "Jiminy Glick". They are legendary funny!
...__ Comedy requires talent, which Short has in abundance, As for Colbert, he used to try passing himself off as a comedian, but was clearly un-funny, so he switched to amateur political commentary, which while it is often inadvertently funny, requires no talent whatsoever..perfect for Colbert...
Dude. That is like the most sublime bit of comedy ever but.... check out Billy Crystal -Dont get me Started. The most concentrated piece of genius ever. It's on You Tube
townsville69 Robin Williams was fantastic in Insomnia as well. Watch it if you haven't already. It's a stellar cast, and all of them are at the top of their game.
I adore Martin Short! He's so quick and hilarious! Anyway, I'm pretty sure Martin has done some dramatic stuff. I'm pretty sure he was on Damages a few years back.
I remember being disappointed in his response to the dramatic actor question. Now, Only Murders season 3 has concluded and he’s proven time and time again that he’s a superb dramatic actor and can successfully share the screen with Meryl Streep, Paul Rudd, and Shirley McClain! 4:51
I just read Martin Short's book "I Must Say: My Life As a Humble Comedy Legend" and this story is in it. I must say his stories are better when he tells them in person.
Martin Short is a North American Treasure!! love that guy, his book is my most favorite book to listen too.. because he narrated it and made it so alive. every time I see him do a interview, it makes you wish you had him as a friend. as far as the talk show that would be the "eric" of the group, that would be james corden
1:21 You really see the pure fun and enjoyment on his face. He’s been doing this his whole life! Imagine the countless times of content throughout his life.
Man, Martin Short's brain works faster than anyone else's on this planet. I could listen to him all day.
only Robin Williams could keep up!
I love him, but you know he does his homework.

@@spunz83ify This is true. In his book, he states he always prepares before going on a talk show.
Him and Robin Williams should have collaborated more, but maybe it would have been too much for us to handle.
I love Martin short. He is genuinely one of the most underrated comedians of all time! He’s so genuinely happy, sharp, quick, witty, intelligent and zany.
Ha! Very true (and "zany" is not a compliment to throw-around casually)
And humble
I agree with you, especially for when you wrote this comment, but he is finally getting the recognition he has long deserved with Only Murders in the Building.
Martin Short is one of the best talk show guests ever.
And hosts.
Right behind Robin Williams. Right next to Norm Macdonald. Love them all
He's always a pleasure to watch, he makes it so easy for the hosts.
@@sgtpepper1138 That's literally what David Letterman said in a recent TH-cam tribute to Marty!
My favorite comedian..I read he works very hard to prepare for talk shows
Clark Kent meets Rachel Maddow I’ve never heard a more accurate description in my entire existence.
@pete smyth Colbert offended? Must be a projection.
I think that is so accurate. Colbert's impression of Maddow is pretty spot on.
Atleast I'm not the only one who thinks Stephen & Rachael Maddow look like fraternal mutant-identical twins
That was so spot on😂

Michael Moniz dear man, Canadians are generally Good Ones. :D
Karan Gera Thank you I appreciate the compliment 😁. But don’t forget we had Rob Ford 😖
Of course he moved to the USA; just like all the other Canadian comedians and actors. Who could stand being in irrelevant Canada! You would pick up their infamous inferiority complex! haha

All this SCHMOOOOZING ....is giving me a headache. ..Does anyone have Pepto Bismol??
I could watch Martin Short have a conversation about anything all day long. Laugh out loud funny over and over again.
I could watch Martin Short talk in his sleep and it would be laugh out loud funny all night long.
Be sure to watch the movie Get Over It. Marty is wonderful and it's a charming movie in general.
You should read his book - I Must Say: My Life As a Humble Comedy Legend
@@thebrazilianatlantis165 I love the movie "Pure Luck". Perfect all-around cast.
...Yes, Short's almost funny enough to make Colbert seem tolerable...
"Paul looks different" Brilliant.
Its Martin Short, so you can never really tell if he's genuinely complimenting you or trolling you.......and I love it 😂😂
It's neither. And both. He's Glicking you!
Sounded like he was channelling Jiminy Glick !
Both...
It's both😅😅😅
I love how he opens his mouth and bits of history fall out.
The mere presence of Martin Short is uplifting. When he speaks, it is party time inside my brain.
He may have brushed over it, but this man definitely deserved the Order of Canada. Great man
When Martin casually mentions that Gilda Radner had been his girlfriend you get a sense of the pedigree and the company of fellow performers he came from. Truly legendary.
I had to pause the video when he mentioned that, to recover. Sheesh. 😲
Every host seems to genuinely enjoy having Martin
Short as a guest.A legendary comic and a lovely human being.
"That whole Clark Kent meets Rachel Maddow look". Wow....that was on point.
Martin Short kills me every time. He seems to be 100% on his game at all times.
"Your audience is the most.....recent." lol
Its even funnier that the audience missed it 🤣
Stephen, I love you bringing on older, classic comedians on the show. They are all genuinely funny while allowing the conversation to flow naturally, without any ego, pretense, or gimmick. It’s great to watch.
What a truly nice, funny man Martin is. His warmth just oozes out from him. Love him.
Martin Short is a joy to watch! Such a funny man
Martin Gives me Hilary Clinton vibes for some reason. He makes *Hilary Clinton faces* :P~
That's fucking Hilarious -(no pun intended). X[] hehe...
@@athews1976 maybe time to triple your medication
I love this guy. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him do a boring interview.
Martin Short is criminally underrated.
Absolutely!!
How so?😊
And insane 😂😂😂😂
@user-lo9cp2kr7s As talented as he is, he just never really received the recognition that some of his contempories did, while possessing incredibly quit wit and improvisational skill. He never really assended in notariaty in a way I feel he truly deserved.

I typically don't watch the clips with guests, just the monologues, but I took a chance on this and it paid off. So funny!
Same here.

That's fucking Hilarious -(no pun intended). X[] hehe...
always take a chance on martin short
shoegal ha ha...me too! I almost always skip them!
shoegal watch Stephen’s interview with 50 cent. That one’s worth it too!
What a relief it must be for a talk-show host to see Martin Short on the roster.
I'm very impressed of the fact that Stephen Colbert knows that Bavaria is landlocked! I've been asked the most stupid questions about my home country while visiting the U.S. ("How's Hitler doing?", "What's it like to have Korea as a neighbour?"). This was refreshing, thank you!
He is not American. He is Canadian.
@@sweiland75 Stephen Colbert is not Canadian.
Don't leave us hanging about the Korea question
It's simple geography. Stephen is obviously a well read man. Unfortunately the average american knows very little. They don't even know their own country, let alone the rest of the world.
Martin Short makes me so happy. He’s a legend.
I feel like the line “you look like the worlds hippest insurance adjuster” didn’t get the laugh it deserved. That was a bloody good line
When you think about it, an insurance adjuster would be a better, (and funnier) host than Stephen Colbert.
How can you not like Martin Short?
He's Awesome.
I absolutely love Martin Short! I don’t think I could ever get sick of him ❤️❤️
Only takes me about 6 minutes.
Afaf Bouardi no one cares
Odd compliment??
This guy is HYSTERICAL.
Love him and Steve Martin❤️❤️❤️
I thought Paul Shafer was hilarious on David Letterman, but i never knew he was Second City alumnus!
And man, I'm on Martin Short binge. He IS HILARIOUS 😂
It's amazing just how fast Short's mind works- he's always ready with a funny story or quick retort. Sheer brilliance.
If only we could all be half as quick as Martin Short at his age, I think we would all be happy people.
If you can listen to Martin's autobiography on audio, which he reads. Hilarious, touching, and heartbreaking.
Great and unexpected cricket impersonation at 3:50.
Every Canadian comes with a free cricket in their mouth.
I like that Stephen is genuinly interested in the old stories
Multi talented Martin Short .
My fav.
He did a dramatic role on Law and Order. He Killed it!
Thanks a lot for ruining it for me by telling who is the culprit in that episode!
I love how Martin can sharply insult you, but in the nicest way possible! Lol.
I see Martin Short I click! 😀
GOAT of late show guests
I have said, and will continue to say the very same thing.
❤
Im confused. Mr Short was a favorite actor of mine when i was a kid.
Now I feel old, and he looks like a middle aged, hilarious actor.
Well either way, god bless him!
He gets panda placenta from a whole different source...
#botox #surgicalintervention
no, he was middle aged when you were a kid... now he looks quite old.
68 = middle aged. K.
Isnt he over 70 years old?
"Paul looks different" lmao!
I think movies like "Inner Space" or "The Three Amigos" didn't do enough justice to Martin Short, but now I have a whole new degree of respect for him after I saw his show of celebrity interviews, playing "Jiminy Glick". They are legendary funny!
Martin short is my favorite, love seeing him on all the shows, wish he would host SNL more
“Clark Kent meets Rachel Maddow.” 😂
It appears that Martin has thrown Mr Colbert off a wee bit. He is razor sharp
Didn't see him throwing a wee bit, but yeah, he'd had to have something razor sharp to pull that off.
Colbert is a butter knife compared to Martin Short!!
@Jackie Santangelo
Truth.
...__ Comedy requires talent, which Short has in abundance, As for Colbert, he used to try passing himself off as a comedian, but was clearly un-funny, so he switched to amateur political commentary, which while it is often inadvertently funny, requires no talent whatsoever..perfect for Colbert...
“It’s the Clark Kent-meets-Rachel Maddow look” , genius 😂
Martin short such a charismatic, great comedian, and actor!!
he always puts a smile on my face
I love Martin Short. He’s so funny.
Martin Short , All Round Great Entertainer.
Martin Short is a national treasue
some Aussies quite like him too :)
He's a Canadian.
Yes, Canada's national treasure
International Treasure!!
Short is one of the best. I love his synchronized swimming SNL skit.
That is also one of my favourites. My sister's and I used to laugh so much at that skit!
Dude. That is like the most sublime bit of comedy ever but.... check out Billy Crystal -Dont get me Started. The most concentrated piece of genius ever. It's on You Tube
Love love love love love me some Marty Short!
That Clark Kent and Rachel Maddow line though. So accurate.
01:59 I love that he's can't say Paul's name without, if only for half a second, dropping into an impersonation.
"Clark Kent meets Rachel Maddow" WWWWWWWWWOWWWWWWWWWWW
Martin Short *always* makes me smile and puts me in a better mood🤩
You know youre Canadian when you pronounce Toronto, "Torono" 🤣
Short is so quick and witty that it seems like someone is literally writing his lines in real life.
When he said Clark Kent x Rachel Maddow I died. That’s exactly what Stephen looks like lmaooooo.
Fallon is the Eric.
Lmao, definitely
Hahahaha you're so right
Wish I could quadruple like.
Nonsense. Fallon's likable.
Alternative Spicer my guess
Hèhèhèhèhè
If short and Robin Williams ever worked on something together it would have been insane.
Clark Kent,Rachael Maddow...lol...
I didn’t realize how much of a great comedian Martin Short is. He is amazing!!!
You simply must watch his Jiminy Glick show. Greatest thing ever.
Duh!
Martin Short in drama? I want Jiminy Glick in Glengarry Glen Ross.
😂 In the Alec Baldwin role or is he a salesman?
Oh my god. That visualisation is hilarious.
I loved Martin Short in Merlin!!!
I love that Martin Short uses that spot on cricket sound effect every chance he can get, and sadly it's never fully appreciated. One day it will be.
Martin Short is finally beginning to look like an adult himself, he looked like a kid forever.
I love that Martin Short adjusted to Stephen and his show. All these politicians and real journalists
I would love to see Martin Short in a psycho thriller like Robin Williams in One hour photo. He would be terrifying and amazing.
He had a dark serious role in season 3 of Damages and he was great.
townsville69 Robin Williams was fantastic in Insomnia as well. Watch it if you haven't already. It's a stellar cast, and all of them are at the top of their game.
I think there's a pretty wonderful SVU with him in it
James Berger Yes! He was fantastic in SVU, but Robin William was also great in SVU
townsville69 Watch Martin Short in Inherent Vice, he was absolutely fantastic.
Highly underrated. This was fantastic.
Dude, I loved Jiminy Glick
me too!
The Order of Canada also gets you a free medium double-double at Timmies.
I just spat out my double double haha
That and 50 cents.
"Is that Febreeze??"
Lmaoo I gotta use that
We all know who Eric is. He's the one playing board games from the 80's, while occupying a position he didn't deserve.
I keep thinking Kimmel is the Tonight Show. Does anyone watch Fallon? He is almost as bad as Leno.
meeouw, New Message!
Like hunter
Well we know who Eric is , it’s Fallon
Love my homeboy Martin Short. Proud Hamiltonian. Great to see him on my favorite show.
"this is the most recent" Hahahaha off to a great start!
I am FROM Hamilton, Ontario... 40 miles outside of Toronto. We STILL have the restaurant he's talking about.
I love Martin Short. And love Steve Colbert. The best guys.
I adore Martin Short! He's so quick and hilarious! Anyway, I'm pretty sure Martin has done some dramatic stuff. I'm pretty sure he was on Damages a few years back.
Also Law and Order
You mean SIR Martin Short? How DARE YOU... HOW DARE YOU DEBBIE! He's doing the musical version of Schindler's List, he's playing Schindler, of course.
Who the hell wouldn't? Great comedian! And of course, I'm biased, but still! Had a stint on Arrested Development for those who didn't know. :)
looneytoon76 Definitely a serious role there.
debbiedoodiedandi Also his surreal turn as libido-driven oddball in “Inherent Vice”

I love it whenever two comic geniuses get together they always want to riff off of one another.
“Paul looks different.” 😂😂😂
I just read Martin Short's book "I Must Say: My Life As a Humble Comedy Legend" and this story is in it. I must say his stories are better when he tells them in person.
That Maddow joke was fire. Martin needs his own show.
Somebody please bring back "PRIMETIME GLICK"! "The Clark Kent meets Rachel Maddow look.".....LMAO!
I miss all the late night shows!! I hope the writers get what they want so we can all start laughing again!!
The title that comes with the Canadian knighthood is "friend".
Schwindsichtiga der Echte bahahahaha
A knighthood is cool and all, but man Gilda Radner was a cutie.
I'm not your friend, buddy.
"friend eh"
Either that or he gets to change his middle name to Gord.
Something I did not know. Martin and Gilda Radner were dating. That is an amazing couple. Two of the greatest comedians of all time.
He did have a dramatic role, although secondary, in Damages's third season. He was really good
Martin is the perfect talk show guest.
It's all Clark Kent meet Rachel Maddow thing😂😂😂
Colbert's doing his best to not help him out.
