Tensions with Martin Short and Steve Martin

I love the way he says "baby." Gets me every time.

*Martin Short* is hands-down one of the most *under-rated* comedians of all time! His Jiminy Glick interviews are *classic*.
Plus, poor Jimmy! Part of his youthful endearment on SNL was trying not to "break character". Peace.

"You closed them quickly and then you opened....THEM!!" That line killed me!

[farhanj]

[JustNess]

"Oh, you are fibbing! If you're fibbing, I'm going to be mad! You better not be fibbing!" Lmao!! Nobody better ever fib to Martin Short!!

"With your eyes--you closed them quickly and then you opened them!" xD
