The absolute gleam in Martin Short's eye when he sees Bill about to break is so delightful.

[lacubanita]

YES BILL IS ATTRACTIVE BUT WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HOW GREAT MARTIN SHORT IS IN THIS?!?!?!?!!?!? the commitment, the performance, absolutely hilarious

[RaulAPinto]

Martin Short is not only very funny, but a superb actor. The inflection in every line, the timing, the richness of his character. Plus, he's freaking LIVE, reading lines from cue cards, the book and his memory, plus, he's freaking ENJOYING every single minute of it.
Talking about a pro

Bill mentioned in an interview that he came straight from filming his suicide scene in The Skeleton Twins to do this sketch. Quite a wide array of emotions for Bill that day

bill hader sounds and looks like a 1950s actor and i love it

[christiangayjuanico]

This entire skit is just Martin Short and Fred Armisen trying to make Bill break. Notice how Martin paused and stared at Bill after the downton abbey? lol and how Fred was just trying to get eye to eye contact with Bill while he lays there with open thighs. Lmao

[micaelag]

The preemptive “oh no” from the audience members when Fred is readying himself to jump up on the table cracks me up

BILL'S VOICE IS DOING THINGS TO MY JUDY DENCH

[mmalambert]

bill hader is extremely attractive. his accent in this is just wow

[janelliot]

This is Martin Short's perfect role and he does it brilliantly!

[kopkiwi]

It feels like Fred wasn't In this sketch and just walked on set.

[TheVidaddict]

Notice how Martin deliberately pauses at 2:44 just so the camera gets a shot of bill cracking up. just brilliant.

[feliciaoladipo]

"Her Downton Abbey"

Absolutely brilliant.

[sewnkin_fournine]

Okay, I need to confess....Bill Hader is one of the most attractive men I have ever laid eyes on. Good GOD.

[PJ-shnh]

"church of taint Andrew's" - I choked on my sandwich, this sketch is SNL gold!!!

[ruvena]

is it weird that i think that bill is extra attractive with that accent and that hair 😍

[hynixx]

Cant blame bill hader for breaking character here, Martin short was unforgivable ..Brilliant!

[amixtwonder]

Martin is flawless in falling into his characters. He's an entertainment icon.

"I'm here to get me Judi Dench washed" 😩😂😂😂
