As much as I love watching Martin in character, whether in a movie or a typical nighttime talk show where he's roasting everyone with his razor-sharp wit, I could listen to him tell stories like this for days. Absolutely adore him.
Martin Short is arguably the greatest comedic entertainer of the last 30+yrs - considering his abilities of timing, wit, risk, singing, dancing, imitating and the ability to play off whomever he's with - the best.
Not only is Martin Short extremely quick-witted, funny, and creates great characters, but he can also write, act, sing, and dance, and he does all those things well.
Two of the funniest people on the planet! You can tell there is mutual admiration between them. Martin Short has been one of my favorite actors. Unfortunately, he is very underrated. He seems like such a genuinely nice and humble guy.
I think Martin Short is the most underrated and under-appreciated comic of our time. Any talk show he's on is so funny. And his Jiminy Glick character is super funny! I wish he would start doing TH-cam interviews with today's stars as Jiminy. I watch reruns over and over all the time and I laugh every time!
I can't belive I've only just heard about him very recently while watching conan's. Watching his interviews before this, I was also thinking he would be a great host for the oscar, also why doesn't he jave his own tall show.
I miss his own talk show. I worked during the times his show was on, but I took my lunch early just to watch him. Even on my bad days he makes me laugh.
He has admitted that him and Steve Martin plan their acts weeks in advance before appearing on a late night talk show. He works very hard and treats his craft with respect.
I was born post-SCTV (1984) and I still have nothing but love for Martin Short. Yes, he's extremely funny - but he also seems so genuinely nice. He's been a great ambassador for Canada and he deserves the praise Conan gives him. Great guest. SUCK IT INTERNET TROLLS.
I can't tell you how refreshing it is to witness this type of witty talent between these two. Two geniuses in their craft. Thank you Conan for your love and appreciation of comedy and just throwback to a time when it was work, passion, heartbreak, talent, and loyalty to the arts. You keep that close to your heart..it shows. Miss the Conan show, but glad you've made your mark in history as one of the best to ever do it. Thank you, kind sir. 🙏🏼👍🏼👊🏼 Btw, around 7yrs old or so, one of my first characters I would entertain my mom, brother, and lil sis after dinner in the living room was "I must say" (didn't know Ed's name at the time). I enjoyed my older brother not beating on me. Too busy with laughing. Felt pride in seeing my lil sis look up to me as something special. But most of all...loved seeing my mom - in that moment have no worries. No stress about bills and being a single mom. Just laughter filled our house those nights. So, thank you, Martin Short. You weird, weird man you. 😁
Martin Short is what it's like when you have a crazy person who hears voices in their head, but the voices only say positive, constructive, happy things.
I saw Martin Short in "Little Me" on Broadway at the Criterion Theatre (former Roundabout venue). I had an orchestra seat. He was fantastic. He won a Tony. His book is great too. Seems like a loveable genius who works very hard. Conan is a comic genius with enormous charm.
I'm from the UK and I genuinely did not know who Martin Short really was until about last year. I'd seen him in a film or two I think but he didn't really register. Came on to TH-cam and now I know. Magnificent talent. Un-Trollably brilliant I'd say. Jimini Glick genuinely world class brilliance hilarious. Thank you youtube for introducing me to Martin Short. Martin Short thank YOU sir.
I’ve watched this a couple of times now & Martin still kills me! He really is the best. I’d love to have been at that dinner...can you imagine the laughs & the stories?!
With so many talk show hosts being on TH-cam just for promoting their shows, it's nice to see one of them understand what TH-cam is about, and know that this is the main source of entertainment for a lot of people.
Same here! I absolutely *_LOVE_* Short and, I'm not a fan of any late night show, but so excluding Late Night: I absolutely love Conan as well (the podcast, random appearances, etc.). So I can't believe I missed this. It's almost as funny as Martin's interview on Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend!! The whole interview is very podcasty in it's format/vibe.
@@JahRandomI just found this in 2023! I have been a fan of Martin Short but in the way that I just waited and whenever something with him comes up, I always watch. But now I’m searching all his work and interviews lol and not just because of Only Murders In The Building-but Innerspace was free on TH-cam a couple months ago and I was like-I need a Glick Fix
Could it be reverence meets awe? I know it's more than just friends talking. Conan isn't struggling to "get it right" because he knows Martin will bring the lines.
Absolutely fantastic interview! Martin is not only amazingly funny but possesses incredible insight and thoughtfulness. Fun to get into his head. Thank you.
I used to watch Martin Short on SCTV and SNL 40 years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday, he is the best! Anything something comes on with him in it, I have to watch it. He has a new show with Steve Martin and it’s awesome
I love when Martin Short that you are most influenced with comedy when you are around 12. I fell in love with Conan’s comedy around 10 years old and have never stopped loving him! Also the scene in Pure Luck when Matin Short gets stung by the bee, changed my way of looking at comedy, and then years later he started doing Jimminy Glick which I still love!
What is cool is the whole Irish dynamic. Consider that his father was from Crossmaglen, County Armagh in Northern Ireland... ground zero for the Troubles outside of Belfast and a heavily armed bastion of the IRA. The British Army called Armagh, "bandit country" and going into Crossmaglen like entering the territory of the Apaches. So being raised in that pressure cooker of violence and turmoil gave you a very tilted yet satirical and darkly comedic view of life just to carry on with daily existence. They have a saying in Ulster, "if you can't laugh at yourself, you can only cry at the world." I am sure much of that was passed on to young Martin who then took his father's take on life and incorporated it into his own comedic brilliance.
Simply incredible! Literally, laugh-out-loud, soooo many times! But then, the "killer" happens, beginning at 57:39 Delivered with perfect timing, and then followed-up so slyly ("what was your question...?") One of the ultimate Canadians, ever
I remember being a kid and watching SCTV reruns all the time. I would always be anticipating at the beginning whether Martin Short would be in the episode or not. Obviously I watched SCTV even if he wasn't in it, but it just made it all the better when he was in the episode. RIP John Candy. John was so incredibly funny too.
This guy had me in stitches the most out of anyone I’d ever seen. This talk was rather enjoyable. Too many interviews where there’s 1 hour of information getting crammed into 10 minutes.
This is different level , honestly. 2 Geniuses at the top of their game, insanely sharp, quick witted, but unique , brave, quirky, original too...2 lovely honest human beings too with no real ego problems, at least when marty isnt in his fat suit lol Just keep the laughs coming lads xxx kisses from a fully blown hetro
Because it is funny! Lol! I didn't see it coming and that's a big part of it. The element of surprise is another. But the biggest part is that it's so simple. Put that all together and you have a fresh stew of giggles my friend. It's also a transition and it is very difficult to make a transition funny. It's also a secondary line and those always get me. You wouldn't see that line in the trailer if this was a movie either I laughed too, I didn't see it coming and now I'm stealing it :D
Martin Short is out of this world funny. He was the only funny sketch on snl 40. I wish it was still on youtube so I could watch it again. I cried laughing.
Conan, i wish you would renew doing these fantastic interviews. your podcast is great, but this kind of 'serious' jabber is a really a cut above. and you're brilliant at it..
True. Martin is undeniably a comic wizard. And he's been that way since the beginning. His Brock Linehan used to make me crack up. The Glick movie was so bloody funny I still smile when I think about it. 'I see a road....' and the part where he's arguing with Dixie about God vs. Jesus. Just too funny. Love the guy.
41:00 is why they’re both legends. Both working the invisible internet audience with hilarious jokes and perfect timing that makes you feel like they’re joking with you directly. Intimate vibe even in a sterile studio!
The funniest people ever are the ones who can make you laugh as a child and as an adult. I'm talking gut busting laughter. Martin Short is one of those people. And I've been rocking with Conan since SNL and The Simpsons and he's one of those guys as well. The best thing though...these guys are really good guys. That's what I admire the most.
Martin Short is the greatest comedic talent I've ever witnessed in my lifetime. Mr. Short triumphs in every media with a wit, tempered with his off screen kindness, thst never fails to mesmerize me. Of course, when Mr. Short is paired with the likes of Steve Martin his ability to play off wherever Steve would go just adds to his mystique. Martin Short is a hero of mine.
I agree with Short about Canadian comedy. They are truly influenced by British humor. I grew up LOVING the Black Adder, Benny Hill, Faulty Towers, Monty Python, and SCTV had that similar nuttiness to it. There was one sketch called the Battle of the PBS Stars and it reminded me of Upper Class Twit of the Year. Good stuff.
Certain performers bring an instant smile to my face: Rodney Dangerfield, Don Rickles, Jerry Lewis, Jerry Seinfeld, Conan O'Brien, and Martin Short. Two greats here!
Watching this after listening to his audiobook. I have always loved Martin Short. His audiobook is an easy listen and I recommend to anyone watching this!
Martin Short is deliriously hilarious. His Jiminy Glick is classic and iconic....he’s just a rare talent who can think so quickly on his feet because he’s so brilliant - He’s just freakin amazing. And the in-people know, no one else does. He’s AMAAAZING.
22:55 The person who got upset was Tom Green. (Yeah... the guy who made 'Freddy Got Fingered'). Jiminy asked him about his testicular cancer and Green walked out of the interview.
Martin Short IS the funniest man in Show Business. There are other funny people as well, of course...but Martin wins...he's a winner. An agile a mind as he possesses wins.
I think Conan realized that Short landed a particularly good one and gave him the respect of letting the moment marinate instead of stepping on the joke.
2022,...........this stuff is still funny. Love those two dudes. Interesting insight into their thought process. Not the worst way to spend some time,.....Good night.
at 51:10 Martin does a character from On The Waterfront, that only says definitely. The actor that played that character was a famous boxer named Two Ton Tony Galento. A hell of a fighter that dropped one of the best boxers ever, Joe Louis. Louis almost beat him to death after the knockdown but it was Tony's best moment.
This is the best guest interview I've seen with Martian Short. I never really understood Martian that well. I get him and know, I get his genius. Conan O'Brien gave one of his best host interview. I think the Ambiance of the set. It kept my attention during the entire show!
Its a testament to how funny and well liked Martin Short is that a video with him talking seriously can garner nearly 600,000 views. This in spite of the fact that he doesnt get promoted, have a big platform or get lots of media exposure.
As much as I love watching Martin in character, whether in a movie or a typical nighttime talk show where he's roasting everyone with his razor-sharp wit, I could listen to him tell stories like this for days. Absolutely adore him.
I’ve heard he’s the absolute best and funniest guy at a dinner party. I believe it
I love Mr. Short. He is not only truly funny but seems to be a genuinely kindhearted man.
Two of the most witty, intelligent men in the world. What a pleasure to watch.
Martin Short is arguably the greatest comedic entertainer of the last 30+yrs - considering his abilities of timing, wit, risk, singing, dancing, imitating and the ability to play off whomever he's with - the best.
I think you may be right. ❤
Absolutely love Martin, not only funny as heck, he radiates kindness as well. The kind of guy you’d love to have around you.
Not only is Martin Short extremely quick-witted, funny, and creates great characters, but he can also write, act, sing, and dance, and he does all those things well.
One of my all time faves. Doesn’t get the appreciation he deserves.
He also seems universally loved by the Hollywood crowd and that is rare.
@@jamesmarshall1905😅
You must be so proud, Mrs. Short.
@@TonyWud - LOL. That's like something Martin Short would say!
I wish Hollywood would offer him more opportunity....Short should be seen far more than he is. Incredible talent, incredible person.
I love Martin Short's humor. He is so natural and funny and down to earth.
Two of the funniest people on the planet! You can tell there is mutual admiration between them. Martin Short has been one of my favorite actors. Unfortunately, he is very underrated. He seems like such a genuinely nice and humble guy.
The jabs at each other are gold. I love it. Started immediately with the crickets. Perfection.
These two are so wonderful together. You can tell they are genuine friends who love comedy
I love what Conan does on his show, but it's also great to see him doing a serious interview.
I think Conan shows us "serious" is a spectrum.
Martin can still crush after decades in the biz. I was blown away. wish he was back on TV again
Only Murders In The Building on Hulu!
I think Martin Short is the most underrated and under-appreciated comic of our time. Any talk show he's on is so funny. And his Jiminy Glick character is super funny! I wish he would start doing TH-cam interviews with today's stars as Jiminy. I watch reruns over and over all the time and I laugh every time!
+Ed M Today's vapid reality stars wouldn't even pick up that Jiminy was a fake character. Which would make it even funnier.
I can't belive I've only just heard about him very recently while watching conan's. Watching his interviews before this, I was also thinking he would be a great host for the oscar, also why doesn't he jave his own tall show.
I miss his own talk show. I worked during the times his show was on, but I took my lunch early just to watch him. Even on my bad days he makes me laugh.
Me too- I re-discovered Jiminy during Covid! He’s been my lifesaver. 💕😎💕
He has admitted that him and Steve Martin plan their acts weeks in advance before appearing on a late night talk show. He works very hard and treats his craft with respect.

I loved this story. ❤
Martin Short is what it's like when you have a crazy person who hears voices in their head, but the voices only say positive, constructive, happy things.
what a great description!
That’s hilarious! So accurate!
I don't know. Have you seen him roast someone? That kitty likes to scratch
I hope he reads this some day

I saw Martin Short in "Little Me" on Broadway at the Criterion Theatre (former Roundabout venue). I had an orchestra seat. He was fantastic. He won a Tony. His book is great too. Seems like a loveable genius who works very hard. Conan is a comic genius with enormous charm.
Mr. Short’s portrayal of Jiminey Glick is pure comic genius.
making major comedians lose it
No kidding -absolute genius!
He is really funny. I imagine the laughs at his familys holiday celebrations. Conan is hilarious as well 😆🕊🙏
I'm from the UK and I genuinely did not know who Martin Short really was until about last year. I'd seen him in a film or two I think but he didn't really register. Came on to TH-cam and now I know. Magnificent talent. Un-Trollably brilliant I'd say. Jimini Glick genuinely world class brilliance hilarious. Thank you youtube for introducing me to Martin Short. Martin Short thank YOU sir.
Gary Smith
He has a brilliant brain
Yeah I discovered Jimini Click during COVID lockdown I think. From the UK too.
I wonder who did it first, him or Sacha Caron Cohen?
So funny! And that smile, that natural charisma. Martin short is the cutest funniest human this side of the interwebs. ❤😂🙏🥰
This was hilarious! I love Martin! The man is truly a legend and deserves so much more respect than he gets
Martin Short and Conan O'Brien are great. I love these guys and this interview!
Martin Short is the reason why I love comedy. Making faces, unpredictability and amazing wit.
I’ve watched this a couple of times now & Martin still kills me! He really is the best. I’d love to have been at that dinner...can you imagine the laughs & the stories?!
With so many talk show hosts being on TH-cam just for promoting their shows, it's nice to see one of them understand what TH-cam is about, and know that this is the main source of entertainment for a lot of people.
Everyone praises Martin Short, but the onscreen magic only happens because Associate Producer Jordan Schlansky performs his various tasks.
This should have more likes 😂
Various Tasks, Jordan performs Tasks assigned to him.
After all the hours watching Conan, the only thing I’ve been able to confirm is that Jordan helped get Triumph into the RNC.
wut
everyone shows up because Martin is there. yes production matters, but do you have a crush on Jordan or something
I can't believe I just found this. What a wonderful and insightful conversation. Absolutely a joy to watch these two together.

BEST TALK SHOW EVER. I LOVE YOU CONAN!!! martin short is a comedy hero . unreal
"How have you perpetuated this fraud" Conan kills me every time.
ya, that was hilarious :)
+TheGuyWithTheThingOnTheTable Boooo !
Byron's Reward You realize it was a joke right?
@@CalebMcFarland sadly, his only reward was a blank expression and glazed eyes as the joke sailed over his head.
I love Martin Short so fucking much.
I rewatched this, and you realize just how much reverence Conan has for this man. I think he's even nervous.. lol
Could it be reverence meets awe? I know it's more than just friends talking. Conan isn't struggling to "get it right" because he knows Martin will bring the lines.
Absolutely fantastic interview! Martin is not only amazingly funny but possesses incredible insight and thoughtfulness. Fun to get into his head. Thank you.
Nobody talks about "When Mars Attacks". Hilarious movie with a great cast and Martin had a great part. Recommend the movie to everyone.

Martin Short has always been a favorite of mine and seeing how awesome he is outside of Hollywood makes him even more awesome. Great man.
All one can truly say - about Conan, Martin Short, this series: BRILLIANT!
I love Martin Short. He is brilliant and always funny.
"Is that all there is?...Then I stopped looking down." Sharp as a tack. 😅
A total class act. Period.
Simply incredible! Literally, laugh-out-loud, soooo many times!
But then, the "killer" happens, beginning at 57:39
Delivered with perfect timing, and then followed-up so slyly ("what was your question...?")
One of the ultimate Canadians, ever

Martin Short is an ultimate performer and story teller.
I absolutely love Martin Short, grew up on SCTV reruns and love the fact he brought up the CFL, 9 teams are back woo!
Short is such a class act.
agree with you there, Conan. Martin MUST host the oscars!
Two fine comedic talents! Martin Short is the greatest.
Love Martin Short!!!! Proud to have him as a Canadian! :)
Mr. Short has a very genuine and respectful response to Conan's serious "I am 50" at 9:36
rando That’s the joke...
I love Martin Short's smile.
This is so rich with wonderful stuff! I can watch it over and over and never get tired of it.
Conan: "My point is..."
Martin: "What is your point?"
That made me laugh really hard for some reason.
I think its about timing and speed. Martin Short is sooo fast in my evaluation.
@@frannybellotti4790 Precisely, I really wish he would do some kind of show with CF.
I’m realizing maybe second only to robin Williams but easier to follow.
Because it is funny! Lol! I didn't see it coming and that's a big part of it. The element of surprise is another. But the biggest part is that it's so simple. Put that all together and you have a fresh stew of giggles my friend.
It's also a transition and it is very difficult to make a transition funny. It's also a secondary line and those always get me. You wouldn't see that line in the trailer if this was a movie either
I laughed too, I didn't see it coming and now I'm stealing it :D
Such lush vegetation!
Martin Short is out of this world funny. He was the only funny sketch on snl 40. I wish it was still on youtube so I could watch it again. I cried laughing.
That's a great description for Martin Short -- out of this world funny! Blazing wit, beyond creative and truly brilliant.
Are you kidding? Norm killed it.
Jiminy Glick NEEDS to host the golden globes and the oscars
GrandAbbot Could his date be Edith Prickly?
And moderate the presidential debates
That would be torture on him...in that suit under those lights for that length of time...geez that would be funny, but taxing.
If you thought Ricky Gervias was insulting, Jiminy would take it to whole different level.
That would be GRRREEAAT!!!
Always a great suit on mr short. respect
ugh, this interview is perfect.
Genius level comedian/Actor performer, entertainer. Original comedy that catches you by surprise.....One of the greatest ever.
Martin Short is absolutely a comedic legend
The serious tone of this conversation about the nature and inspiration of their comedy is just as entertaining, in its way, as the comedy itself
Conan, i wish you would renew doing these fantastic interviews. your podcast is great, but this kind of 'serious' jabber is a really a cut above. and you're brilliant at it..
I don't think you can be a great comic if you aren't also very intelligent. Two of the smartest and funniest guys right here
Martin truely is one of the best. Having him host the Oscars is only proper!
Not a bad idea, but I almost feel he's too good for it.
He IS just one of the most ON people in comedy. Constantly quick with a quip.
True. Martin is undeniably a comic wizard. And he's been that way since the beginning. His Brock Linehan used to make me crack up. The Glick movie was so bloody funny I still smile when I think about it. 'I see a road....' and the part where he's arguing with Dixie about God vs. Jesus. Just too funny. Love the guy.
When I meet people who don't like it or even wanna see it, those people should be in prison lok
Brock was the best
"I know that you dont think I know that??"
41:00 is why they’re both legends. Both working the invisible internet audience with hilarious jokes and perfect timing that makes you feel like they’re joking with you directly. Intimate vibe even in a sterile studio!
Canada has so many great comedians. Martin's cricket impression is spot on.
He’s the funniest human ever, you have to be highly intelligent to do what he does.
Holy moly these guys are titans of comedy in completely different ways but I have immense respect for the both of them.
"Oh, your wife sings in the shower." absolutely killed me. How did they not crack?
The funniest people ever are the ones who can make you laugh as a child and as an adult. I'm talking gut busting laughter. Martin Short is one of those people. And I've been rocking with Conan since SNL and The Simpsons and he's one of those guys as well. The best thing though...these guys are really good guys. That's what I admire the most.
LOVE MARTIN SHORT!
America's most beloved comic actor!
Martin is Canadian..but it's nice that America loves him....
Continent.
Roseand Stem Continent, eh? Well, it's good to know he still has full control of his bladder and bowels at his age.
Greg Hall Come on, give her a break. Funny though.
This is hilarious. And Dinah Shore was not only a singer but a great talk show host.
I love Martin and expected this to be a funny interview and at moments, it is, but dang, this was a great, insightful, deep and brilliant interview.
Martin Short is the greatest comedic talent I've ever witnessed in my lifetime.
Mr. Short triumphs in every media with a wit, tempered with his off screen kindness, thst never fails to mesmerize me.
Of course, when Mr. Short is paired with the likes of Steve Martin his ability to play off wherever Steve would go just adds to his mystique.
Martin Short is a hero of mine.

I grew up LOVING the Black Adder, Benny Hill, Faulty Towers, Monty Python, and SCTV had that similar nuttiness to it. There was one sketch called the Battle of the PBS Stars and it reminded me of Upper Class Twit of the Year. Good stuff.
Gotta be the funniest first 25 seconds of an interview ever.
Certain performers bring an instant smile to my face: Rodney Dangerfield, Don Rickles, Jerry Lewis, Jerry Seinfeld, Conan O'Brien, and Martin Short. Two greats here!
Indeed
Watching this after listening to his audiobook. I have always loved Martin Short. His audiobook is an easy listen and I recommend to anyone watching this!
Martin Short as Jiminy Glick is some of the funniest comedy I've ever seen.
I didn't realize how much I enjoyed Martin Short until about 2 hours ago, watching all these clips with Conan. They make a very good team :P
Martin Short is deliriously hilarious. His Jiminy Glick is classic and iconic....he’s just a rare talent who can think so quickly on his feet because he’s so brilliant -
He’s just freakin amazing. And the in-people know, no one else does. He’s AMAAAZING.
Martin Short is awesome
22:55 The person who got upset was Tom Green. (Yeah... the guy who made 'Freddy Got Fingered'). Jiminy asked him about his testicular cancer and Green walked out of the interview.
surprised it wasn't Chevy Chase lol
Wow, that’s interesting
cultclassic999 hahaha
@Michael Freed Larry David did it as a joke
@Michael Freed Sure the guy who has a show that is all ad libbed is going to be thrown off by ad lib
Martin Short IS the funniest man in Show Business. There are other funny people as well, of course...but Martin wins...he's a winner. An agile a mind as he possesses wins.
Martin is one of my heros up there with Robin Williams and Mel Brooks. This is going to be amazing
How come that i just now discovered this? Love the format!
57:38 Great quick zinger by Martin. Conan's face is priceless. I can't tell if he's pissed off or thinking of a retort. LOL LOL LOL
That was hilarious
I think Conan realized that Short landed a particularly good one and gave him the respect of letting the moment marinate instead of stepping on the joke.
2022,...........this stuff is still funny. Love those two dudes. Interesting insight into their thought process. Not the worst way to spend some time,.....Good night.

blackelk7373 Thanks for the info. There's some great non-actors playing small parts in On the Waterfront. One of the best casted movies of all time.
Wonderful interview Conan! Love Martin Short......and loved the "shower" reference.
Funny interview, time flew by. I'd like to see more Jiminy Glick.
This is the best guest interview I've seen with Martian Short. I never really understood Martian that well. I get him and know, I get his genius.
Conan O'Brien gave one of his best host interview. I think the Ambiance of the set.
It kept my attention during the entire show!
Martin is a genuinely lovely guy. A national treasure. Up there with Terry Fox.
He is one of my favorite Canadians, along with Paul Shaffer, Michael J. Fox and the guys from Rush.
