[00:34] Hi, everyone. Welcome to Good Hang. I'm Amy Poehler, and we have a great guest today. It is [00:40] Martin Short, the hilarious and kind and generous and... [00:46] Just deeply talented person who I grew up loving and love even more now as a grown adult. We're going to talk to Marty, as his friends call him, about Canada and the SNL 50th and Only Murders in the Building and how it felt to have COVID and not be able to accept an award that he won. [01:07] But what's really exciting is we're also going to talk to some other comedy legends who love Marty and who want to... [01:15] Talk nicely behind his back and tell me questions that they think I should ask him. So joining me before we get to our interview are... [01:25] Tina Fey? [01:26] Maya Rudolph. [01:27] and Colin Jost. This episode is presented by the Toyota Grand Highlander. Life's journey brings constant change filled with exciting surprises, new chapters, and grand challenges.

[01:57] highlander toyota let's go places maya and colin i'm being asked would you mind flipping your phones to the side [02:14] Yeah. And I know this seems weird, but can you hold your credit cards up to the screen, too? Oh, yeah. You want the C. We just need to see C. Yeah, we need the C. V. The C. V. V. We need the D. V. V. Jost, I don't know if you know, but I already did a podcast with Tina, who nicely came in to be interviewed. I look forward to doing one with you, Maya. I look forward to doing one with you. Yes. [02:39] And Jost, you were name dropped in the interview that Tina and I did. We were talking about how much we love going to the Lampoon. [02:48] So we're doing this thing where we're asking people to kind of talk behind people's back in a good way. So I've got the great Martin Short on today. Never heard of him. And you've all worked. Yeah. Never. [03:03] But I bet he's good if you like him. Yeah, I like him. I think you should check him out. [03:08] I think he's funny. I found him on TikTok. Oh, so I guess my question is what? Yeah. You know, how much do you love Martin Short? What do you love about him? What do you think I should ask him? [03:22] When I think about him, I think he's evergreen. [03:25] He's... [03:27] She's the...

[03:28] He's always funny. [03:29] And he's always up for being funny and funny. [03:33] He will always make you laugh. And he's, there is a, there is a, [03:37] just didn't, [03:38] Unbridled Joy. [03:40] In him. [03:42] in the pursuit of [03:45] Being funny. I mean, don't get me wrong. He works hard at it. And but he but you can see that he loves it. [03:51] And you can also see that he loves to be among funny people. There are some funny people who love to be solo characters. [03:58] Acts. [04:00] And he's not one of them. I think he's one of those people that thrives among the funnies and [04:06] She's just like a... [04:08] like a great guy. So inherently, [04:12] That comes through somehow through the comedy. [04:16] which makes you love him more than, [04:18] When I found out that he had a stamp in Canada, I was like, oh, that checks out. That makes sense. You're perfect. [04:29] That's awesome. Wow, I've got to look at the image of that. Is it just him or one of his characters? I wonder. My memory is it might have been one of his characters. [04:38] Characters? Characters from Halfwits. It's a regular stamp, but he owns it. Yeah. He bought it. Yeah. Anyway, Canada's a much cooler place because I think Catherine O'Hara has a stamp too. I'm just saying. I don't think any of us are getting stamps in the next... [04:53] four to four years so i'm gonna ask him about a stamp um tina jost anything you feel like i should ask him or anything you want to say about marty i love marty i want to i want to claim my love for marty early like i know i love him i've also had a crush on marty from like decades before everyone i remember i came to new york city when i was maybe in college and you used to be able to go see um uh

[05:19] Broadway shows for free by being an usher. And so I was ushering at a production of Godspell in like the early 90s, late 80s with like Trini Alvarado is in there. And I remember us ushering and I turned around and I saw the two people that I handed their programs to were Paul Schaefer and Martin. And I was like, oh, because of course, Marty had been in the original Toronto production. But also I was like, I was starstruck. And also I was like, also, Marty's cute. Anyway, I'm [05:49] I'm on record. You're not alone, buddy. You're not alone. Mike, so I do, I would love to hear him talk about that Toronto production of Godspell, because I think that cast was incredible, and it was like Gilda Radner and... [06:00] I want to say Andrea Martin. Eugene. [06:03] cast. And Paul Schaefer. Yeah. And then the other kind of question I was thinking about, [06:08] was, you know, everything that we know Marty from... [06:14] that we grew up with, it's all canon, right? Like everything from Father of the Bride and Three Amigos and Clifford, all these things, and SCTV to us, it's all just like comedy Bible. I wonder for him during that time, if he ever felt like, [06:33] frustrated with being like the funny person like was was he happy with his career in that time or did he did he want to. [06:40] More. [06:41] And does he... [06:43] Does he feel differently now? But just because I feel like we also all look at our own things going like, oh, I should I should be doing this or I should be doing that. But does does he know that he has this tremendous body? Good question. Was he ever grouchy about it at the time? Oh, good question. And Josie.

[07:01] I'm doing a counterpoint, right? Yeah. Yeah, you're telling me what actually sucks about Mark. Yeah, not a nice person. Hasn't made me laugh. I was just realizing this. He was actually weirdly my first SNL... [07:15] character I ever saw because I went on a studio tour when I was young and I saw Ed Grimley [07:23] like in stuff backstage or like promotionally around. And I didn't even understand what it was at the time. [07:30] But I always remembered it being funny, and that was like my first kind of character I saw. [07:36] there before I watch the show. Wow. [07:39] And I loved... [07:41] I mean, Three Amigos, I just loved those. And my grandpa so couldn't understand Three Amigos. And my brother and I watched it all the time. And my grandpa was just like, what is this? I don't understand it. [07:53] We'd love that. I guess my questions are like, I was wondering, did he have any, did he have any like rivals in comedy at different times in his life? But do you think, okay, this is, this is a good question. Do you think I should be asking these kinds of questions on this podcast? Because I think Marty's a great person to try it out on. Cause he'll see, he, he's so kind of graceful. I also think I just watched that, that weird year documentary. And I also would be curious to hear a little bit of that one. [08:21] one year in that cast on SNL. And it was like, I don't know if you talk about this either, but like for the SCTV cast, [08:29] Were people like hooking up in that cast to the way there was like early SNL? You know what I mean? Like that. But I don't know if that's fun to talk about. Yes, dude. So, Joe, your questions are, who was your biggest enemy and who did you hook up with? Okay, those are great. I'll start with those.

[08:47] Maya, thanks for taking a break in the middle of your show. [08:50] Amy, this was a really good hang. [08:53] Thanks, Maya. Whoa. Great hang. Great hang. Good hang. That's my show. My show is great hang. Damn, that's going to be better. No, I disagree. It does sound better. It does sound better. [09:06] This episode is brought to you by Uber Eats. Uber Eats is delivering game day deals because you can't watch eight hours of basketball a day on an empty stomach. I love to watch TV on my couch and then never get back up. And so once I'm down, it's hard to to stand. And I definitely don't want to drive and get food. So Uber Eats delivers my food to me. And then I shuffle over to my door in my pajamas and I grab the food. [09:36] you're craving Uber Eats has deals on all your game day favorites. You never have to miss a single buzzer beater. Get game day deals on all your favorites only on Uber Eats. Order now. [09:48] I want you to know you're one of the first three. [09:51] Well, you know, that makes me feel good. Thank you. I don't feel like I got any time with you at the SNL 50. No. Well, the only thing we got was COVID. You know, everyone got it. OK. Not only do I know that everyone got it, but so we were doing this thing on this podcast where we're asking. I'm asking reaching out to people who know you or like friends of yours or ours to ask them what I should ask you. So I just did a Zoom with Tina, Maya and Jost.

[10:21] And all three of them have or had SNL COVID. Yeah. They all got it. Yeah. [10:28] So did Amy Schumer? Yeah. Meryl? [10:34] Dang. Mike Myers. [10:36] Now, I've done scenes with all of those people, and I shared a dressing room with Meryl. I did a scene with Mike Myers and Maya. You got nothing, I know. But did you have a good time? How was the experience? Oh, it was great. The whole thing was great. Yeah. Yeah. [10:52] I mean... [10:53] On the Thursday, Steve and I went down to the Comedy Cellar. [10:58] with Simon Rich and John Mulaney. [11:00] I mean, to try out material, which is an insane idea, because as we were going down there, I said to Steve, when was the last time you went to a club like this? You went in 1966? [11:10] So when they saw him, they went insane. Yeah. Were they suddenly not going to laugh at his jokes? Yeah. Of course everything. Right. But do you guys do your – because I want to talk about your tour that you do because Tina and I are basically copying what you're doing. But do you go on the road and try out your stuff before the tour? Never. Yeah. Never. Never. Yeah, I feel like it's not a genuine – you just can't – No, no, no, no. That's what, you know, Ali Wong, the great stand-ups will do that and – [11:36] And then they burn their material. Yeah. You know, I don't. And I think it's hard to get an honest laugh to your point. The audience is too hot. Yeah. They're really excited to see you. In Steve's case, they're saying, okay. [11:50] They're [11:51] Both alive? That's so weird. So much for newspaper articles. And so already you have them. Yeah. There's a famous story, Jack Benny.

[12:02] I think in his last... [12:03] concert in England, he was like 80 or something. And he came out and got a 12 minute standing ovation. And then his first line was, I'm not that good. You know? So there's an element of that. I wanted to talk to you about the congratulations on winning the SAG award. Yeah, two of them. I know what you mean. [12:22] You are nominated all the time and you don't win. And never win. And then the time that you win, you're not there. COVID. Was that a bummer? I wasn't even watching. I was watching The Brutalist. Uh-huh. Sure. You watch it every night. Well, you know what it is. Yeah. It's like Elon Musk. You need a positive sense of like a big warm blanket around you before bedtime. So you always put on The Brutalist. I do that. And then prescriptions. [12:52] I start with the brutalist. No. So then so then someone said turn it on and I was stunned. I mean, it was like that's what Selena Gomez said. We always lose. Well, I related not to front door brag, but I have been nominated often and never win. Never. How many Emmys do you have? [13:11] Only one. [13:13] But I think I've been nominated [13:15] Let me pretend to not know the number. [13:19] No, but it is something in the 20s. Steve says in our show, I say, how many Emmys do you have? He says, I want to say 50. [13:25] Five. I want to say five, but I have one.

[13:32] But I was thinking about you because... [13:35] I know for me, every single time, no matter how much I've – [13:39] tricked my brain into knowing who cares. It doesn't matter. Like there's this weird thing. [13:46] physiological moment that happens when you're just the split second where you're thinking, maybe I'll have to go up there. Maybe I'll have to give a speech. Does that happen to you? Um, yeah. [13:56] You know, it has happened to me, certainly. But I will tell you, in this experience of only murders in the building, we're starting our fifth season. [14:05] Absolutely never had a consideration. In fact. That you were going to win? No, not remotely. In fact, I think that some, you know, the publicist sends you things and they were. Yeah. Sag predictions. Yeah. And there were like three other people. The gold derby races or whatever. And there was always like, well, if it isn't Jeremy Allen White, I'll tell you it will be Jason Siegel. I mean, it was like. [14:29] You were never even close. Not even close. So how did you win the SAG? Who did you sleep with? I guess I'm a beloved. I guess I'm, you know. I guess the actors. You become this stupid icon. Give it to the actors and they'll vote for anybody. Yeah, leave it to actors. They'll vote for anybody. No, but I mean, I was bummed to see you not... [14:47] be up there, but I was wondering if you cared. I certainly, it would have been thrilling to be there, but I do find that stuff of you have to get up and did you forget a name? And I agree. And then if you pull out a piece of paper, you're a wimp and you don't have any soul. You know, I saw Timothee Chalamet just speak. Totally. Yeah. He killed it. He was so good. And what I'm going to do next time, if I ever went again. Okay.

[15:09] I'm going to get up there and lower the mic so that I can lean down to it. Like he did. That's a power move. Yeah, that's a power move. To talk like this. When you're this lanky. [15:21] Yeah. You know, and I agree. You either have to kind of free ball it and just be. [15:26] you know, [15:28] off the top of your head and just talk about how you're feeling or you have to have really good jokes. The in-between is stressful. Right. The in-between is stressful. And then also leaving out that name. Right. [15:39] Yeah. [15:41] Like, [15:42] Oh, I forgot to thank Selena. [15:44] Yeah, right. Would that be the kind of thing that would keep you up? [15:48] I would feel badly, and she would say it's cool. There's no one cooler than Selena. Yeah. You know. She is so cool. She is so cool. How did you guys – I mean, I'm sure you've told this story many times in other places, but never to me. When – Well, because you just started a podcast. That's right. Yeah. That's right. And usually when I see you at parties, you're a little bit removed. Yeah. Yeah. It's like looking over the shoulder. Yeah, I just want to see if there's another more famous person there. Mike Myers here. Yeah. [16:18] I cannot settle in until I find the alpha in the room. Oh, I know. Oh, I know. And I've talked to people who know, and I won't elaborate on that. [16:28] But the... [16:29] The, um... [16:30] Only murders. How did Selena get like, how did you guys get her? Did she, was she attached with you at the same time? No, no, no, no. It started off, um,

[16:40] Steve was at a party at Sandy Gallen, I don't know, 13 years ago. And sitting on the couch was Ron Rifkin. Mm-hmm. [16:52] Joel Gray. [16:55] And... [16:57] Someone else. And Sandy said, those three, you should do a show for them. That's all he said. And Steve's driving home, and he's obsessed with true crime and watches it all the time and thought, well, gee, that's an interesting story. [17:12] ID three older people. [17:14] who solve crimes in a building, but they'll only solve a murder in the building because they don't want to travel. And he had the title, he had everything, and then he put it on the back shelf. [17:24] for a few years and then had a meeting with Dan Fogelman. Dan said, any ideas you have? And he said, well, I have this one idea. And it was suddenly into production. How it got to be Selena. I don't, I don't actually know. I know that Steve phoned me and said, [17:40] Would you like to do it? And I thought it sounded great. And, you know, it was work. Yeah. You know, if he had said you want to do the Chrysler Industrial, mainly for we're bringing the duster, we're bringing that car back. I'd say, sure. And you say you say that there is a check. Is that what you're referring, Steve? Anyway, so I was excited to say yes. And then then brilliantly they went to Selena. You know, if they'd gone with someone, another older person, it would be murder. She wrote. [18:09] Yes, it's so smart. It's so smart, yeah. It's so smart. And I'm just curious, and maybe I can have her on here and ask, like, what is the... Bob Balaban, that was the third guy. Oh, yeah, Bob Balaban. I love Bob Balaban. They were three on a couch. He's such a good actor.

[18:25] I'd be so curious about, like, what made Selena sign on for another TV show? It must have been you and Steve. She must have known she was signing on to something premier and funny. [18:34] She has, you know, I'm sure I mean, [18:39] I've told this before, but certainly the first day of shooting, it was we were in the height of covid. [18:45] First day of shooting? Yeah. So we had to wear shields and masks. Yeah. And – [18:51] So I had never met her. [18:53] We had zoomed. [18:54] in read-throughs and stuff. And I'm driving to work thinking, [18:58] Well, she could be a nightmare. Yeah. I mean, she's a pop princess since she was 14. What if she's... [19:06] I thought, oh, she's late. Forget it. Steve will quit because that's his Achilles. Well, what if she doesn't know her lines or what if she's mean to people? And all those things go to the thread. And literally I met her in the makeup show. [19:21] room and she smiled and I thought, okay, she's just adorable. And she has never been a second late [19:27] She is such a pro. It's a joke. And then all these endless guest stars we've had year after year have all been, again, impeccable. Maybe. [19:36] They're afraid of Steve, I think. [19:38] Interesting. Well, maybe we have that in common because I feel like people are afraid of Tina and not afraid of me. And I want them to be more afraid of me. No, no, they're never going to be more afraid of you. But do you want people to be more afraid of you or do you like that they're afraid? No, I like Steve is like the pope. You know, I mean.

[19:58] Some of these famous comic types, they like me. It's fine. [20:03] But when Dave Letterman or Howard Stern is around Steve or Jerry Seinfeld, it's like, oh, hi, Steve. Yeah. Yeah. And I don't know why, because. I know why. I think it's because. [20:18] Steve just doesn't talk as I think the power move is to not talk as much. [20:23] That's what I like. The quieter you are. So that's my big problem. That's your problem. And this is my problem. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And we're like, hey, this is this is me. This is me. And you just have to stay quiet. And everybody projects everything on. So you're saying. Yeah. [20:42] That's like a line in the movie Jiminy Glick and Lala would hold for applause. Best character ever. We improvised it a great deal. And Jan Hooks. [20:52] Elizabeth Perkins was complaining that her husband needed sex three times a day. And she said, "Oh, honey, I'll tell you, you gotta get a blow up thing because listen, I've had four kids. Fuckin' me is like fuckin' a purse." And you saw Elizabeth Perkins shake her hand because she was supposed to be bringing it up to her mouth so she doesn't spoil the take. And I said, "Dixie, remember when we discussed the word mystique?" [21:17] Jiminy Glick, Marty. [21:25] Well, let's just let's focus a second on Jan Hooks. Let's go. OK, you're right. Was there anyone funnier than Jan Hooks?

[21:34] Hooks. There were a few women at that SNL 50th that I was really missing that I really wish I could meet because I have never met. One of them was Gilda and the other was Jan. Never met either one. Never met Jan. [21:48] And she was... [21:50] She was the, like, the... [21:52] Kristen Wiig or Kate McKinnon of the cast when I was growing up. Jan was [21:58] So talented. So, such a good actress. So funny. And moving. We did a special together in 95 where she played... [22:07] Everyone, everyone from David Letterman's mother. She played Brett Butler that was so-- So good. So vicious. [22:15] She's so good. [22:16] Yeah, I missed her. And I loved Lorraine and Jane holding up Gilda's picture. Oh, I love that. Love that. I loved that. Yeah. I had a great moment with Lorraine and Jane where I... [22:28] I, [22:29] I didn't know Lorraine that well. I've just kind of seen her at events over the years. I felt very bonded with her by the end of the weekend. I don't know if she felt the same way about me. But she was just. No, she didn't. She didn't. I asked her. Damn it. I said, who did you bond with? Who didn't you bond with? Well, she opens up with the word surprise, surprise. So it shocked me. [22:55] She didn't like you. She didn't. Oh, I can feel it. [22:59] I'll tell you what she said. Kept nodding her head no. She said, I'm not a fan of the chatty chat. She was like, I wish he was quieter. Oh, my God. She said, like, Steve Martin or Tina. I'll tell you what. They make you work for her. You know who I want to meet is Tina Fey. Totally. Yeah. Damn, and I felt that.

[23:15] I felt that because, but she, her and Jane, she shared two things with me that I loved. One was just a small detail, but I loved it. She's like, Jane and I are getting ready together. [23:24] Which I just love. That's a very girl thing. Like, who are you doing hair and makeup with for the party? And Jane and Lorraine were getting ready together, which just warmed my heart. Like, I love that. And also, they just both seemed great. [23:38] N. [23:40] Uh, I was like, I said, you two look great. You seem great. And we kind of had a moment where we said, you know, women know how to age like they can they do better with aging. [23:50] than men? Well, some do. [23:53] Most. [23:55] Um, [23:56] You disagree? Well, OK, let's let's put it this way. Let's go. Let's go. Yeah. If you're talking about someone who said I said suture. [24:07] Who's had 15 facelifts. But yes. And then has that look. But that's, I think, I think we get a little confused that, well, maybe I'm wrong, but we live in Los Angeles and we see that a lot. But the rest of, like your average people in the country. I'm sure. I'm sure. Women, like, look at women, look at men and women when they turn 50. It's, it can be different. It's, I don't know. Every school reunion, high school reunion I went to, the women look pretty great. And the men. They look bad. [24:37] Purple. Why? Marty. Okay, here's what's not good. [24:41] Gombauld is tough. [24:44] And that I don't even mind. Who's the most handsome, bald person?

[24:49] Paul Schaefer. Paul Schaefer. Paul Schaefer. Paul person. Fabulous. Yes. So he. I say of Paul that I've known him since 72. [25:00] And even in 72, [25:02] He looked like a maitre d' in a spaceship. [25:11] Anna and Will killed as Bobby and Marty at that music. Oh, my God. And I said to Will after I said, OK. [25:18] Did that take you two months or three months? He said, we learned it today. Today. And Anna was doing a great impression of Paul playing them the part because it was like he was playing 45 songs at once. And it was a complete chaos and they crushed it. And to me. [25:39] Tina and I were talking about this after. To me, there was something very proud of. I felt very proud of all of us. I don't know why, but it felt like a win for all of us that these two great sketch comedians came out. I mean, I feel this way when I watch you work and when you and Steve are together, like can come out and just settle a crowd and just it just own the room. There is a joy when people are not. [26:03] Nervous. Oh, my God. I love so much. And also. [26:09] Neither character... [26:12] Or forget actor, but neither character they were playing was trying to be funny. Yeah. They weren't trying to. They weren't saying laugh. They were just being sincere in who they were. And it was, oh, my God, was that a triumph. I thought Bill Murray killed. Yeah. Everybody was incredible. How about Maya and Fred as friends? Incredible. Yeah.

[26:34] Like Fred can do these physical things, the slightest. There is no one funnier than Fred. I agree. This is what Fred said to me. Fred Armisen for everybody listening. [26:42] This is what [26:44] First of all, this is visual, but every his dressing room is beside me. So. [26:49] I would pass his room and he'd be on his phone. I'd say, hey, Fred, and he'd go. [26:55] See, Fred, you're not really asleep. Oh, hi. How long have you been here? Fred, I just saw you. And the other thing he did, which she completely convinced me, was true. [27:06] was, um, [27:08] When I left the stage after the good nights, he said, why did you call Paul McCartney Tony McCartney? [27:17] I said, what? Yeah. I mean, you said, oh, Tony McCartney. [27:25] And because I didn't know Paul was standing beside me, I thought. [27:29] Did I? And I told Bill Hader this and Bill told Fred and Fred sent me a text like a couple days ago. Sorry, I thought you knew that was a joke. I literally thought I said Tony McCartney. The stupidest thing in the world. Tony McCartney. Tony McCartney. I wish I said it, of course, you know. [27:48] Not knowing Paul's name. Fred used to send me long texts about his flight schedule, like when he was arriving, what airport, what time to get picked up as if I was picking him up from the airport. Yeah, I know. He is so deeply funny. He also does a bit that I love where if you haven't seen him for a long time at a party and you go, hey, Freddie goes, hi, how are you? He pretends you're just a fan bothering him. He's so funny.

[28:09] He loves a bit. He does... [28:12] A million of them, too, and everyone's funny. Yeah. But people feel that way about you. People feel – like the way – [28:19] Even we were talking earlier with Maya and Tina and Jost, like, [28:23] People feel that way about you, Marty. Of all the funny people, people think you're the funniest. I don't think so. Okay. Well, okay, thank you. But I find that I find what I do... [28:35] With like Fred is if it's at a party, I'll say, did you hear what Fred said? Yeah. There's a lot of did you hear what Fred said? I agree that I think Fred is like genuinely one of the funniest people I know. But. [28:49] I think you are too. [29:15] This episode is brought to you by Visible.

[31:08] The thing that I love about watching you is, and I don't know, maybe you're faking it, but I feel like the lesson I learned at SNL and beyond is if you are enjoying yourself,

[31:19] people will enjoy themselves. Oh, absolutely. But people don't really apply that often into the work that they do. And even into the comedy that they do. Some people can't hide it. You know, I used to think that even... [31:30] If I was if I was at work and I was feeling low about something, I would do an impersonation of myself happy. [31:36] Yeah. And then that would get me happier. Like when I started doing talk shows, I kept thinking first time I did it. [31:43] an [31:44] You know, important American talk show would be December of 82 Letterman. 1230 show. And I thought, what is the gimmick here? Oh, I got to do an impersonation of myself at a dinner party, really loose and having fun. But I got to get it down to eight minutes. Yeah, that's deep. I remember Lauren telling me when I was doing Update, you have to do a version of yourself for Update. That's a removed version of yourself. [32:19] - Are you doing lip- - Mm-hmm, yeah, that's right. [32:22] Nothing worse than [32:24] Then dry lips, is it? [32:26] I get them constantly. It's actually a problem of mine. I love that you needed me to do it to feel free that you could do it. Yeah, I mean, I can't do it. That's too rude. But if my guest pulls out lip balm. What if you looked over and I had bright red lips? I wore red lipstick. [32:41] - I love a lip balm. It's one of the things about LA that really crushes me is how dry it is here. - Very dry. [32:48] Is this your home base, LA? Like, this is home?

[32:51] No, I was born and raised in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. And then when I was 22, I moved to Toronto. [32:59] which is 40 miles east of Hamilton. I've been to some of those lakes you talk about outside of Toronto, and it does not get warm here. [33:07] Ever. [33:07] Oh, it does? [33:09] I was there mid-August. This is, and I don't, this is. And it was about 55 degrees. I know, but this is going to be. Sorry. Okay, well, I'm going to say it, and then I'm going to be criticized. But it's a real girl thing to say. To be cold? Yeah. How dare you? You motherfucker. I do a cold plunge, motherfucker, every day. Okay, but let me say something again. I've got to get in trouble again. But. A girl thing to be cold. [33:39] A girl calls a cold plunge. [33:42] is not what a guy i'm doubling like i don't consider i don't consider 71 a cold yeah i mean when i say cold plunge i mean oh my god like i might take no not like real cold like i sleep without my socks on that's a cold plunge no i have a high tolerance for cold i proudly got into cold plunging like five years ago and i do it all the time now like every good podcast i'm i'm you know decades older than you i would [34:12] think that I'd say, I'm going to do a cold plunge. And oh, yeah, dead. You did just floating right in that cold plunge. No, I slowly built up. It was during COVID. And I was genuinely I was so what temperature did you start? Truthfully, truthfully, I was so anxious and depressed during COVID that I was trying all these different things. And so I would do the sauna and the cold plunge was about

[34:42] Thank you. [34:42] Same. I don't do it any colder. Maybe the coldest is like 47 degrees. [34:47] Right. That's cold. It's cold. And I started by just like going in and out in and out for years and then building up. And now I can do a couple of minutes and it is I cannot. I cannot. [34:59] recommended enough. How about just a cup of coffee? Just a lovely cup of coffee in the morning. You know, I want to talk about your tour because Tina and I are on tour. [35:08] And we asked you for advice. I don't know if you remember or maybe you probably sent some glib. You did. You said what you said. You gave good advice. You gave a lot of good advice. But because we've been doing a show and tour, it's been the best. Oh, it's the most dream come true. Well, this is what it is. This is what it is. [35:27] Because you and Tina love each other. [35:30] Then there's a rehearsal, there's laughs, there's a dinner. [35:33] There's perhaps [35:35] A glass of wine afterwards. So it is kind of like [35:39] as much fun as it can be because you're happy to see everybody and i know this sounds [35:44] Silly, but because I was never a touring stand-up, [35:48] And or a musician, I don't think I ever sold tickets where people knew they were going to get me. You know, I was either part of an ensemble, part of a sketch group, part of an improv show, or I was hosting something that it wasn't. So the. [36:03] The fact that people show up already knowing that you are who they want to see, it just gets so much out of the way. Well, that's why, you know, you've done corporate dates. Oh, yeah. Now, they can be tricky because they're not –

[36:15] showing up for you, they're showing up because they work for Tide. [36:20] And so you kind of have to be prepared for it. Hi, everybody. Hi. [36:27] Okay. [36:28] that thing and not take it personally yeah oh yeah i mean but when you when when people have paid to see you it's this great compliment and they're happy to be there and i know it's it's the silliest most obvious thing but i realized our first show oh people knew it was going to be just us yes that's right and they paid to see us and there's a like a a [36:49] an honest exchange between your performance and their ticket. Like I do the show for you. You come and pay for it. Like it feels very honest, whereas I feel. Well, see, that's the other thing. I think that if, and Steve is saying, [37:04] similar to me and I know that Tina and you are the same. If you felt [37:09] or if I felt that Steve was kind of walking through it that night, then I'd say, you know what, this has been great. [37:15] We did it. [37:16] But we can't do it anymore. [37:17] Because that would... [37:18] And vice versa, he would. [37:20] like be stunned. So I think that there are certain things in, in partnerships that goes without saying it. And that commitment to understanding that people not only paid a lot of money, they got a babysitter. Mm-hmm. [37:33] There was a dinner maybe. [37:36] Yeah. We have tons of women who come with their friends or mothers who are bringing their daughters. Right. This is their night out for the month. Maybe they got a hotel room. And we're the same. When we're done with the show, we look at each other and we're like, we gave them a good show. Oh, absolutely. That's what we feel good about. Yeah. I know. But I must admit, especially doing different Broadway shows for the years, I've rarely met –

[38:03] Anyone that just [38:05] We'll walk through it. I'm always amazed when I go to a Broadway musical and it's, let's say, [38:11] Wednesday matinee and it's maybe not the greatest musical. You still can't believe the talent on stage. I know. The level of the work, like they're working like it was opening night. Yeah. And I don't think their computer knows how to do it differently. What was it like? Like we, like a lot of people in comedy, I obsess about those early Toronto days and you all together. That was crazy. Crazy. I mean, one of the questions Jost wanted me to ask you was, [38:38] who was sleeping together that we didn't know about? You don't have to answer, but he wanted me to ask you. But I used to be able to do this. A big picture of the Godspell cast. And I can go. [38:52] Day by day, day by day. Oh, dear Lord, free things I pray. No, it was the 70s. [39:04] Yes, it's so good. I mean, that period of time with all the people that you were there with, because you were there with who? Paul? I was there with Paul, Gilda. Yep. Andrea Martin. Yes. Yeah. [39:18] Victor Garber, Eugene Levy. We were on the same cast. Wild. And I remember Stephen Schwartz, it was down really like 500 people. It was like American Idol the whole day. It was a callback day. And friends were at the back cheering on friends and...

[39:33] And, you know, Gilda got up there in bib overalls and with pigtails on either side going and saying, zippity doo. And I thought, oh, that's the sad thing I've ever. And they said, you're hired. And I thought, oh, maybe you have to rethink because I'm doing my funny Valentine. So, no, but it was just she was exactly what they were looking for. And. [39:59] And then we all just got there. But I remember Stephen Schwartz, who was down to about 12 people, and it was between me and another guy. Do you remember the guy? No. I want to call him and say his name is Andrew. I never saw him again. But I just remember Stephen Schwartz, who was like 24 at the time himself, went like this. Andrew, you're so, so good. [40:19] But I think we're going to go with Martin. And I'm still in university. It was like. Wow. So Eugene and I, who are friends, went back and there was a pay phone. We kept borrowing each other's dimes and phoning people and tell them what happened. And it was a dream. Now you weren't in university anymore. Now you didn't have to study any more exams. You could stay up as late as you want. You could drink beer at the end of the show. Wow. [40:44] And he told you in real time. Yeah, right there. At the end of the day, we knew. Wow. Wow, wow, wow. It was unbelievable. I mean, can I ask you a little bit about Gilda? Because we talked about Jam. Yeah. But the things I hear about Gilda... [40:58] And it just might be my projection, but I just feel like I would really love her. Oh, you would have been maddening in love with her. What I can't always balance is like how, like you said something about her one time about like she just was so comfortable with her own personality.

[41:13] Just the story you told, her own weirdness and strangeness, like her own, like she really knew. She was just, you know what, she was just every, you know, I've said this before, every girl wanted to be her best friend. [41:25] Yeah. And every guy wanted to go out with her. [41:28] I remember she came up to the first rehearsal and said, hi, Marty, I'm so happy to be here. She had her finger on her forehead. And I said, OK, good. I knew she was doing it. And then she pulled and she had a big pimple. She was just. [41:42] So original, the size of her purse, the fullness of her hair. [41:50] And, you know, I fell for her madly. [41:55] Tell me more about that. Well, we didn't. [41:59] Because it's just like, it's just so sweet. I don't know what she was. You know, she was. [42:05] How old were you when you guys fell for each other? I was younger. [42:08] I was 22 to her 26. Wow. [42:12] And and we went out, we would break up and get back. But a couple of years. What kind of attachment styles did you have? [42:19] What does that mean? [42:21] Do you have an hour? But do you were you anxious, anxiously attached? Were you an avoidant? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You know, in fact, I'll tell you exactly what is very interesting. [42:34] Gilda had, you know, emotional ups and downs. And I had just gone through a period where my parents had died. Right. [42:42] And my mother had died and all she wanted to do was live. And she was the happiest person in the world. So to me...

[42:48] One of the issues that Gilda and I had where we'd have fights about was I think – [42:54] What do you have to be not happy about? You're talented. You have family money. Everyone loves you. Everyone wants to be your friend. Everyone wants to date you. No one is funnier. You get the biggest laughs of anyone on stage. [43:10] You know, but I was only 22. You know, I didn't understand. You know, I mean, look, we're learning a lot of things about gals today. [43:18] One is they can't handle cold. And the other is mood swings. [43:30] So, I mean, I'll make a list of the things I've learned about you. But you say something really beautiful, which is you did have you had a lot of loss early in your life and you learned that lesson that some people learn and take away, which is. [43:43] You know, we are here once you've got to figure, you know, like we have to enjoy life. I've never understood why. [43:50] For some reason, because my my brother died when I was 12, my mother when I was 17, my father at 20. [43:56] Thank you. [43:57] Why I didn't become a victim of that, why I became oddly empowered by it to the point that I could be on stage and put my hair up in a point and say, I think it's funny. Yeah, I mean, and not be. Did they like me? I don't know. I do. I was never that. And I think because I grew up in a very funny family, I was youngest of five, Irish Catholic and.

[44:24] If they liked you, then that's all you cared about. And you just might have been built that way. There's just like your nervous system was. Right. And some people understandably become. . . [44:35] you know, [44:36] victims of these [44:38] tough situations. But don't you feel like that's the, I mean, for me anyway, that is the thing about getting older is realizing, Oh, [44:45] the simple lesson over and over again that we all process differently. Like I cannot get someone to be happy. [44:52] If they're not, or I can't, or I can't get my. And as a parent. [44:57] You know... [44:58] Because we always want to solve. Yeah. [45:01] Yeah. I mean, [45:03] There's some kind of version of that, what you talk about, that joy, that [45:07] of being alive. [45:09] that does come out in the stuff that you do. [45:12] and [45:13] Also, what I love about you is you also play very – [45:18] How do I say this? Like sharp and sharp. [45:21] Um, [45:22] biting characters. You're also really funny at playing people who are not... [45:29] rooting for you. [45:30] But we love, like, okay, Jiminy. So Jiminy. Yeah, no, but I mean, we love morons with power. We love, you know. Yes, that's a better way to say it. People who... [45:39] I mean, to me, the idea that Jiminy Gleck was a guy who had a staff working for him and someone was afraid of screwing up the lunch order. I said tuna. When I say Dijon mustard, it does not mean French's and they're quivering. You know, it's kind of like, can you imagine?

[45:57] The staff, when they leave... [45:59] after delivering Trump his 48th thing of Kentucky Fried Chicken, what they're privately saying. Mm-hmm. [46:06] I do call this hot. [46:07] Yes, sir. And Jiminy, to me, is a very familiar person in the in the world that the past 20, 30 years of like press that I've had to do. Oh, completely. That kind of person who, to your point, king of his kingdom, king of his kingdom. And you come to them and this is how we do things. And they're inquisitive, but like mean. [46:37] are in life. Well, but that's like, I think that's what I'm getting to is I, do you think you are meaner than people think you are? [46:46] Probably. But I think that, you know, my father was sarcastic and Irish and mean. [46:51] I mean, I remember taping, recording two and a half hours of present opening on Christmas morning and you hear my father. [46:59] Oh, Michael, what a lovely guy. I wonder what Michael would give you if he had money. [47:03] You know, it was like, it was just all that stuff. But teasing is a love language. Yes, yes, yes. That's what I do for people. But the thing that was weird for me doing Jiminy Glick was that because it was improvised, [47:16] I would say things that [47:17] even shocked me afterwards. Like I remember interviewing Edie Falco and she was in the middle of an answer and I went, just because I asked you a question does not mean that I need an answer. Thank you.

[47:31] And she said afterwards she was really thrown because being shush was her Achilles heel as a kid. Oh. So you can see it in the thing. [47:38] And it was also so insane. It was so insane. Great, great moment, though. I mean, Jiminy is the videos that people watch, that my people watch to watch. [47:52] Check like to just get a huge serotonin boost. Like it is Jiminy videos all the way. We, Tina and I, all of us send each other those videos almost every week. Still, they just are, they're so funny. [48:06] I think it is that ability to say the worst words. [48:10] things. Yes. And have no fingerprints on it. Like I said, you know, saying to Mel Brooks, what's your big beef for the Nazis? And he just kind of goes, my big beef? My big beef? I said, you're always knocking the Nazis. Oh, it's time for Mel Brooks to knock the Nazis. And he goes, I don't know, they're rude. [48:40] They didn't know. The only thing we ever did once with Steven Spielberg. [48:46] I said to Stephen, OK, at one point I'm going to ask you. [48:51] to describe how you view the role of a director and kind of look off. And so what we planned was, and the only thing in time we ever planned anything like this, is that he was talking, the camera stayed with me, and I slowly got down in the chair and crawled to craft service and took all the candies off.

[49:10] Put three donuts, put them in my pocket, crawled back, crawled up in the chair and interrupted. Isn't that wonderful? Now. [49:23] God, Jiminy forever. Jiminy forever. You have a stamp in Canada. I do. [49:30] Is it a picture of you? [49:32] Or one of your characters? It is a picture of many characters. [49:35] So it's a many-character champ? Yes. [49:37] It's a stamp. I have a coin. [49:40] Wow. Yes. [49:42] Was that cool? Unbelievable. Did they have a ceremony and everything? No, they didn't have a ceremony, but they had – or they did, and I didn't show. Probably more like – you know what I mean? It's probably – it was – They did. They had a guy except for you. Yeah, they were doing a whole bewitched tournament on TCM, and I wasn't going to miss that. [50:03] No, a coin. I have, yes, a stamp. And so does Catherine O'Hara. I heard. [50:11] So does Jim Carrey, Mike Myers. [50:15] All heroes of mine. I was 12 and 82. [50:19] Were you on SNL at what year were you on? SCTV. At 82? I joined in the spring of 82. [50:26] So how many years were you on SNL? One. Wild. What was your first year? When I started 2001, I started two weeks after 9-11. Wow. That was the time when it was like, you know, will we ever laugh again? Comedy is dead. Right. And I remember thinking, but...

[50:45] but maybe not maybe it's you know maybe we should still laugh um [50:51] Yeah, my first show was the Giuliani show with the first responders on stage. Right. Who was the host? Who was the host? [50:57] Reese Witherspoon, musical guest Alicia Keys. [51:02] And that was September 29th or something, 2001. And, you know, it was like, you know, the beginning of any job. It's like, where are the bathrooms? How does this work? How do you get anything on? And we're not going to do anything political for three years. Comedy is over. [51:19] New York is... [51:20] you know, hurting. We're going to, you know, there's anthrax in the building. But isn't it interesting that that happened? [51:28] Then COVID happens. [51:30] over and over again, this idea that how can we get through this? [51:36] People have personal tragedies in their life. It's like over and over again, we think, how can I get by? And for me, and maybe for you, comedy just continues to be the thing that I think pushes people through. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, because it is so absurd, our life, that these perfect lives will end one day. Yeah. [51:57] And... [51:58] That tragedy exists. There is a reason that the two masks are comedy and tragedy because they're both preposterous. And I think comedy has saved my life endlessly, endlessly, you know, and and being so lucky to.

[52:17] to be [52:18] In the family, I had this Irish Catholic youngest of five siblings that are all still so close and also funny. [52:27] And all of us do Wordle every day. And everyone is mean to each other and insult each other. And it's perfect. It's the best. Yeah. It's the best. I hear someone laughing. My father would never have had dinner with us, you know, because he was Irish. And he was a successful guy. But he'd have his big news. He had an Irish broke? Yes. Cross McGlain County or Mall. Marty, get down here. [52:53] And so he would come home, we'd be in the nook having dinner, and he'd have the newspaper with his gin and ginger, no ice, because the Irish feel ice is addictive. So he'd sit there and he'd... [53:09] Marty, don't shovel the food in like an animal do. Thank you. And then one time he got up and he said, Michael, keep eating. I'll make sure the dogs don't get at it. It was just. And of course, if you weren't the brunt of it, you found it hilarious. Yes. But that's that's love. Yeah, I know. That is. [53:27] The fact that somebody feels like you can take the teas is... [53:32] Well, you have to take it to me. That is the highest compliment. People ask Steve and myself this a lot, and I'll ask you. Have you, like, Steve and I insult each other a lot. Yeah. You know, I mean, in life, it started with me insulting him in life because that's how I grew up. And then we turn it, you know, we insult each other on stage. But people always wonder if I've ever gone too far or hurt his feelings or I didn't mean to.

[53:57] It never has happened. And Steve will answer that question by saying, I think it's because we just know we'd never intend to. [54:03] Yes, that's right. Yeah. And we have Tina and I have a different dynamic. We don't we don't really insult each other. Well, you'll fight over the heat, right? [54:13] Like if it's too cold in the room, you'll say, oh, that's my blanket. I mean, do you ever do that stuff? No. You know? Mm-mm. But I think, you see, it's so funny you say that because I think of you ladies as a— That's where you should stop. [54:28] Well, no, I just think of. You should just stop. Don't don't think of us. So you never say, OK, Missy, that you don't say that. OK, that's my blanket. No, we're really we usually are the same temperatures. So sorry. Why should I? So I shouldn't just verbalize what everyone's thinking. I don't think everyone's thinking it. I think it's very personal. OK, whatever you think. [54:50] I don't know if you noticed this at all, but... [54:53] Um, there's a lot of, this is my personal fake food, some of my personal fake food collection. So we've been trying to figure out how to make the studio feel home. You know, it's interesting. Yeah. Which one do you like the best? Fake food and it would be boring to look at. Thank you. But. [55:08] The way you've arranged it, like the Cheez-Its. Well, let's talk about it for a second while we just have a second. Yeah. Okay. So this is a – for people who might be watching this rather than listening to it, there's a tiny little – [55:22] paper box of Cheez-Its. Yeah. And you think, oh, it's just a teeny tiny miniature box of Cheez-Its. There can't be anything in there. No, it can't be anything. It'd be silly if there was. Maybe there's a tiny Cheez-It.

[55:35] Amen. [55:36] Do you know what's sad about this moment? You actually know a lot about this stuff. This is my stuff. No, I know that's what's sad. But you know what? Oh my God. Sometimes when I'm like, I'm dieting, but I'm still hungry for something. [55:53] It does have an icy. You know what? When I have a tiny box of Nutri-Grain bars... Well, surely nothing's in there. No, it's just a silly little box. It couldn't be an actual... [56:07] Nutri-grain bar and with an anthropomorphic face that's winking at you. [56:14] Let's see if you can see that, right? See, a lot of people would find that disturbing. Yeah, not me. Not me, but meanwhile. [56:24] Well, thanks. Oh, hold on. Hold on. [56:29] Party. And not to make it a big deal, but this isn't real. This is a candle. [56:40] It's fake bread, and it looks like a candle. [56:44] You were on a blind date with a guy, and he brought you back to his apartment and said, you want to see all these things? I've done that. I've brought all my men through my fake food museum. Some of it's fake and some of it isn't. You'd say, okay. And I put it, yeah. And I go, let's go. Guess which is fake. I go, put it in your mouth. Yeah. Put it in your mouth and tell me what's fake. That's how I get it. Well, that was, I'm not, see, clip, clip, clip. I can censor. But look, a simple felt fake garlic.

[57:14] Like, this is... [57:15] Felt. Oh, you're kidding me. Felt tomato. Come on. Why, you... [57:22] Oh, my God. [57:24] Oh, that is so clever. Thanks. And you know what? Again, some people would have this and not make it interesting. [57:31] But you describing it is really, really interesting. [57:43] Oh, thank you. Oh, look, you can do props. I can't take your word for it. I'm a pirate. Listeners, Marty is putting a fake tomato on one of his eyes and pretending he's a pirate. [58:01] I know. And you know what? It's so interesting. I realize now as I do it, [58:06] It's one of the things that have kept me out of the big money. Prop humor. Prop humor. But you're making it work. What's that, an egg? This is a fake egg. ASMR. Listen to this. [58:17] Well, it doesn't sound fake to me. [58:22] People make so much money doing clickety-click things with microphones, but not with a fake egg. But what a gift you have. If this is an indication of what your podcast is going to be. Yeah, it's really, really. I think I wouldn't. [58:36] make a big cake to celebrate the second week, but certainly I bet you finish this week. Yeah, we will definitely finish this week. Yeah, we will definitely. Yeah. And they've been very nice. And they, they, I, in fact, they wouldn't bother to decorate the whole place. I mean, you've got, you've got this stuff going. I think it's probably, oh, pancakes.

[58:57] Pancakes. They just said, someone just said to me, great job and let's finish the week. That's what someone said to me. And I take that as a good sign. Well, I think it's very good. [59:06] and I'm asking a lot of people this, what is the thing you like, where do you get your serotonin? What do you look at, watch, watch, [59:14] listen to? Where do you go? Who do you hang with? I mean, you're very funny friends, but, you know, what is this, what is something that you like genuinely laugh at that you watch or consume? I can always turn on Annie Hall and just get lost in it. But I have great, [59:38] friends for long time, decades and decades friends, who are all famous people. [59:45] In comedy. [59:46] And everyone is funny. One time I was having lunch with Chris Guest. [59:50] This is years ago, and I was making this movie, Captain Ron. He said, Martin, what is this film about? And right away, I knew he'd hate the film. I said, well, Chris, I play a man. [1:00:02] who has two children who inherits a boat. He said, I didn't say spoil it for me. [1:00:15] Anything that's making you laugh? No. You know, truthfully, I am a news junkie. [1:00:21] Well, this is, yeah, okay. I watch Morning Joe. Every morning, I'll turn on CNN. So there are many, many, I love Bill Maher, but there are many, many things that,

[1:00:32] People say, you haven't seen that. I mean, when I go to the Emmys, I don't know who's a massive star or who's a seat filler. [1:00:40] Because there's so much I haven't seen. There's just still that last St. Elsewhere I haven't seen yet. Have you all? St. Elsewhere? [1:00:49] God, I loved St. Elsewhere. Love St. Elsewhere. Oh, but that St. Elsewhere was so. I'm telling you. The last time you watched TV is St. Elsewhere. As Jimny Glick said to Bill Hader, I'm still mad they canceled Arliss. You know? [1:01:03] All right. Well, I love you very much. Thank you so much for doing this. [1:01:10] cash, right? No, in Bitcoin and Dogecoin. Doge. Doge. And Dogecat coin. [1:01:19] Well, that was an awesome interview with Martin Short. He is the best. And now it's time for something we're calling the Polar Plunge, which is basically... [1:01:26] How do you get... [1:01:28] How do you change your day? How do you make yourself feel better? I do like to jump into cold water. I know it's weird, but I have a podcast, so I have to do it. But I think one way to... [1:01:40] like change the molecules in your brain and give you a serotonin boost is to laugh. And [1:01:45] There is no better laugh for me than Jiminy Glick. So do yourself a favor and watch that character played by Martin Short in a variety of videos online. Jiminy Glick interviewing Bill Hader when he stepped in for Jimmy Kimmel is so funny. Hader cannot stop laughing. And he just loves getting teased. And that kind of teasing between people who are mutually respectful of each other is like my favorite kind of love language.

[1:02:11] So yeah, Martin Short, thank you for Jiminy Glick, the gift that keeps on giving. And if you have never watched that character, please binge it now. [1:02:21] So [1:02:22] Thanks so much for listening to Good Hang. Thanks for hanging with us. We will see you next time. [1:02:52] Hey.
