Having Martin Short guest host might have been the biggest mistake Jimmy has made in his whole career. Mr. Short seems like he was built for this 😂

Martin Short is killing it. He is a good interviewer.❤

This is so amazing. Such a natural and meaningful conversation - from promoting the show to talking about their dad's drinks. Martin Short, you're a legend

Thank you for an actual interview and conversation. He doesn't interrupt or rush people like what you usually see.

I think Martin needs his own show. Nice to see a different happy personality.

This is what I liked about A conversation between two friends and you've invited the world in. Stellar job Marty.

Jane and Jennifer Coolidge were great in Best In Show. I enjoyed her in Glee, too
