Steve Martin, Martin Short On The ‘Generation Gap’ Acting With Selena Gomez

In this week’s Sunday Sitdown, legendary comedic actors Steve Martin and Martin Short join Willie Geist to talk about their new Hulu series, “Only Murders in the Building,” where they play washed-up artists who turn to podcasting when a neighbor in their apartment building is found dead. The pair also discuss working with co-star Selena Gomez and how the generation gap actually works in their favor.

Selena has moved into a new phase working with these brilliant guys.

I am HOOKED on the show! The show is so good and different. It’s so refreshing how a crime drama can turn into something so fun and deep at the same time. Also, never thought that Selena Gomez would fit so well in the cast.

“It’s perfect for him. It’s the EGO”
God bless Marty

I grew up with “Father of the Bride” being a family favorite. I’ve loved Steve Martin and Martin Short since. I watched Selena when she was on “Wizards of Waverly Place.” The three of them together are perfect for this show.

The relationship between the three main characters is one of the reasons why this is a great show.

This show feels like if I solved a mystery with my parents and I’m here for it

Selena made a great great decision working with these guys!! Her future career in the movie industry will rise and rise and rise!!

Steve martin never ages lol hes looked 60 all his life. But he looks great for almost 80 years old. Nonetheless i love these two together, they’re so funny. Wish i had a best friend in General lol

[Kaice]

ill admit. Although I love Steve Martin and Martin Short but I definitely started watching because of Selena. So great casting as far as trying to get a large age range of viewers. Selena is why I came, Steve and Martin are why I stay lol

[fannylopez]

This series deserves nominations and winnings next year emmys

[Native-Kitty]

The two Martin’s are pure comedic gold! I have been watching them since the 80’s and I’m still laughing. I love their friendship!

[michellewilliams]

This show is a definite hit!!! Loving the new season with Meryl and Paul Rudd!

[alyserendipity]

My two favourite celebrities of all time. Pure gentlemen and hilarious to boot!

[hollyk]

Steve looks CRAZY good for his age, they both do. Good in & out.

a GREAT show!!! hilarious, witty, that "general eye roll" and the way they all crack jokes with one another is just hilarious in a witty intriguing, actually genuinely funny way. I mean, these 2 have always been funny. When I see them together I think of a father of the bride and "Fraonk" the wedding planner from Father of Bride. They just work so well together and with Selena Gomez in Only Murders in the Building, I am literally laughing out loud or "rewinding" 30 to 45 seconds at a time to laugh again at the hilarity and their facial expressions that feel like that kind of genuine funny that isn't really around all that much. worth every second of your time to watch!

I didn’t think I’d like this show but I really do 😃 The subtle humour that Martin Short throws into the scenes is so funny! If you don’t know their humour then you won’t get it. Selena must be in stitches working with these two 🤣 Can you imagine getting the chance to work with these legends? Awesome!

The show is brilliant. I love how my teenage niece can crack up watching it and so can I. Great show. I hope it continues for a long time.

[jgarciag]

I love this show! It’s the only show I cannot wait to watch every week.

[LilttleTeaCup]

OMG, these two are brilliant and quick. The "EGO" comment was so good.

[Laura-kprt]

Love these 3 together ! This is the best TV in a very very long time ! Thank you Steve, Martin and of course beautiful 🤩 Selena 💕💕
