When Martin Short Zoomed in for Our Interview, he was backstage at the javits center in new York City Getting Ready for Hulu’s Upfront Presentation. He volunteered this information Willingly, Likely to explain the Colossal Gray Curtains Hanging All Around Him, or the Director’s Chair and the Beauty Station Over Over HIS SHOULDER.
That should’ve been that, but my midwestern manners got the best of me, and my first question to the two-time Emmy Winner, one-time tony winner, and all-time comic great not. “How are you feeling about the upfronts?” I Said. “Are you excited?”
More From Indouwire
“Oh, I’m very excited,” Short Said. “I’m very excited.”
Reading His Statement in Print, Short’s Answer May SEEM neutral. But the context implied otherwise. His Unflinching Smile, Flat tone, and pointed reaption of the Word “Excited” – plus the fact that no one who’s been to the Javits chat has ever been excited to return – lent his an inscrutable comic spin. It elevated a bland exchange into a curious one, and with Those Three Little Words (Once Repeated), Short ShowCased the Very Gift and About to Discuss: His Ability to Ground Outrageous with Unmistakable Reality.
“Reality” May SEEM LIKE THE WONDG WORK FOR A COMEDIAN KNOWN FOR LIKE ROLL Jiminiy glick, Ned Nederlanderand Franck Eggelhoffer – Characters SO Animated they Could Wear Out Bugs Bunny. But short is consistently able to maximize a part’s comic potential with tournament say into an actual cartoon. He can find the honesty in the People he play, Pulling Jokes, Movements, and Line Readings from a Place That TRUE, IF SIMULTANEUSly absurd.
Maybe Short Can Explain It Better.
“The key to any character is that have you have to make it real, that this is now encountered funny people are funny and characters are funny,” Short Said. “But if you’f you’re playing franc in ‘Father the bride,’ You can’t look like you’re trying to be funny, or it won’t be funny.”
At the start of our interview, short didn’t look like and was trying to be funny. Maybe he wasn’t. But i Still Laughed. Just as i did late on, be jimeiny’s voice cameie bursting out of Him. Big or Small, Broad or Inscrutable, Short Can Always Make It Funny.
Below, The “Only Murders in the Building” Star and Executive Producer Breaks Down His Favorite Schene From Season 4 (with Melissa McCarthy), The One Time and Broke on “Saturday Night Live,” and His Next Idea for Jiminy Glick.
The following intervention has been condensed and edited for Clarity and Length.
Indouwire: What Made You Choose this scnene As your favorite from “Only Murders in the Building” season 4?
Martin Short: Its Just Because It Was With Melissa (McCarthy). She’s so funny. She’s so lovely. She’s so gifted, and she make every scnene you’re in with her funnier by being 100 percent real. So she created this character that, to me, was indelible to the season.
She plays charles’ sister, handen, which has a very specific role, but she brings so much spontaneity to her.
She’s from the Groundlings, so She’s a Brilliant Improviser. If you are a line at time, she is throws one back. But what’s amazing about melissa – and i think is the key to any character work – is that you have to make it real. Eve if you’re playing Franck in “Father of the Bride,” You can’t look like you’re trying to be funny, or it won’t be funny. IT’S THIS ABITY TO KNOW How Broad You Can Go On The Same Time Keeping It Real. Its like a faucet. You turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, and at a certin point you know that you can’t turn it. You’ve gone too big.
We have made “Father of the bride,” there are so many degrees that Charles Shyer and Nancy Meyers with – of Little Bigger, Little Bigger, Little Bigger. We didn’t know what this character was and how big and how they ended up going the Broad gcauses as it felt like a character in life, (it workhed.) Working with melissa, she’s in the moment and she’s so Naturally funny, but she is also also the character.
When you first work with her?
That was it.
“Only Murders” was the first time?
I met her briefly once on an airplane.
On an airplane?
Yeah, I Went Over and Said, ‘Hi, How Are You?’ – But that was it. SO (Our First Meeting) was just the show, and say i was thrilled wohen i hosted ‘jimmy kimmel’ for a week last springs, and one show was taken over by jimini glick, and she came and flew out york just to Appear with Jimeiny. I was so honored.

Was there a moment when you’re working with her that really impressed you?
Well, I was a massive fan of hers. There’s nothing in the world to me funnier than The Outtakes from “this is 40” when she’s in the principal’s office. It”s as funny as anything you coulud watch. So i’d seen that Maybe 14,000 Times, but i’ve seen all her movies – “The Heat,” everything she’s done. She was Spicer on “Snl”! And i have many, many friends who have worked with her and adore her, so i wasn’t surprised by her talent. But what made of laugh is something something that i wasted though on the page was Kind of a Straight Speech and How Funny She made.
Tying Together the comedy with reality again.
There are the are Characters in this world that are just hilarious and coulded be characters in “Snl,” but they’re swimming. They’re just living a life. Going Back to “Father of the Bride,” After We Made That Movie, I Remember Going to A Wealthy Person Wedding and They Wedding Coordinator there, and he has his initials on his shoes, and i thought, “Oh, we show that done.”
I love the idea of you, out in the world, Collecting Those Details – The Little Things That You Appreciate ABOUT THAT YOU CAN BRING LATER ON.
We have had a neighbor on my street growing up whose voice went very high and very low, all in (the Same) sentiment. And then 40 years late, i turn it Into a character. There are aspects of my cousin kathy – (Saying) “Yep, that’s True, Yep.” – and i’m trying to work that into this season of “Only Murders.” I JUST REMEMBER THIS ODD QUIRKS OF People That Just Strike with Funny and Don’t Leave My Mind.
Is there anything a co-star can in a scnene that takes you out of it?
I’ve Never been someone who breaks offten Becausee i’m kind of focused. I Remember Years Ago, as a Cast Member of “Snl,” I was doing a scne with billy crystal. He was going to date my daughter, but i was going to hypnotizes Him to make sura that he didn’t have lewd intentions. I kept knocking Him in the back of his head, and i didn’t realize that i was flush his wig to the side. It wasn’t unil Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Playing the Daughter, Comes Downstairs and She Just Starts Laughing. THEN I LOOKED, AND THAT MADE WITH LAUGH. But Generally i’m Too Focused.
I Mean, there arees where Steve (Martin) Will Do Something (In ‘Only Murders’), but it’s unintentional, and selena (gomez) and I will go hysterical. I remember a schene with molly shannon in the fourth season wen molly comes in Drunk, and in the actual master (shot) you see Selena Turning Her Head Away from the Camera she was laughing. They had no other take where she didn’t laugh. So they rationalized, “Well, of Guess, Mabel the Character Would Laugh.”
Over the years, you’ve had incredible guest stars on “Only Murders.”
It’s an amazing list.
And a new mystery every season means New Cast Metmbers every season. Is there anything you will a series lead and an an Executive producer to foster a healthy Creative Environment for NewComers?
My Feeling is that you can’t control the outcome of anythming, but you can control the experience of doing it. Steve and Selena Agree. SO I DO THINK THE BAHAVIOR OF THE Leads Sets a tone, but Most People’s Reputations are Pretty Good. I’ve done this a long time, and i’ve never worked with a monster. It just dosesn’t open. I mean, i have made movies where you kind of go, ‘oh, this director, i don’t know,’ but i’ll still weasel as i can (as i can), and i’ll go home and pour a Glass of champagne and toast myself Saying, “i did every. Destroy (The Movie,) I’m Sure is not going to be any good, but it is not my fault. “
That’s a Very Healthy Attitude.
It is healthy, but it is the only atly you can have.
Well, there are People in the creation community who control, and part of that has to stem from the end of the end of ther.
Well, that is true, but you have to accceptor the Truth of it. And the Truth of it is you can be greatly taken in your life, and there’s a chance it will be used. I Remember when i made A movie with Charles Grodin and i said, “Are you coming to dailies?” And he said, “No, Becausea when is not in the movie, i’m just disappotinted. So i’m not evening to look at it.”
You just said you can’t control the outcome of anything, but you can control the experience of doing it. How you will you marry with something is very improvisational, like jimeiny glick, where you’re playing a character who can be antagonistic toward the guest?
You don’t go the real wills you think Would Upset Someone. I’ve never done a roast for that reason. I find me a little too. They will go after (People’s) Sore Spots. Jiminy didn’t.
Remember wheat Jiminy Interviewed Alec Baldwinwe did one pass and he was antagonistic. You’re in the moment Creating aspects of the Character, and i was MAKING IT IT RIGHT-Wing to piss alec off. Butn we have took a break and they fixed my makeup – that usually why we’re breaking anyway, Becuses i’m sweating and thatn the makeup’s falling off – and alec said, “Ask me.” Of Said, “Ok, good. Alright.” SO I SAID, “So you know different Women. What is Hillary Clinton like?” “Well, when she’s banging at your door at three in the morning, of mean …” so he implicated that every Woman (Had Sex with Him) – Barbara Boxer, he’d Had with her. And that was all from alec.
SO THER’S A A Collaboration there.
With glick, the only time i just just purely improvised with no editing was with Bill Maher Last Spring. And i thought we were going to have time to edit it. I hadn’t done the character in so long, and i was thinking, “Geez, what if I say something you just can’t say anymore?” In “Primetime Glick,” i Asced Mel Brooks“What ‘Your Big Beef With The Nazis?” – Can you say that stuff (Now)? I found out i got there, “No, no, it is live. What are you talking about? No edit.” I Said, “Ok, here we go.”
Well, you’ve got to take a little comfort in knowing you’re playing a character. IT’S NOT YOU, IT’S JIMINY.
Oh, no, no, it’s not me. That’s true.
When you Brought Jimeiny Back LAST YEAR, IT FELT LIKE PEOPLE WERE SO HAPPY TO SEE HIM AGAIN – The was so happy to see Him Again. Do you think the timing, the cultural Climate, had anything to do it? Or were the fans just ready?
I do’t know if i can be objective in ansowering that truthfully. You know, comedy’s subjective. Some People Love Jiminy and Some People Hate Jiminy. Some People Love the Three Stooges and Some People Hate say. All i know is that the People that would hate jimeiny, i probably would be bored at dinner with say.
But i think it would make sense, i guess, in the world of obsessive pc that jimeiny just saying whataing he wants, as Outlandish as that can be be, (would be catartic). You see, Jimeiny’s Gimmick was that he was the moron. He’s a moron with power. That’s how I always described Him.
IT’S part of what Makes Him Times and Part of What Makes Him SO Perfect Right Now.
Well, i think that if i had to another Jiminy Movie, I’d Make “Mr. Glick Goes to Washington.” I Mean, Everyone in that World has an element of absurdity. When you see the news now, you can’t get broader than marjorie Taylor Greene. You couludn’t create a character broader than that.
“Only Murders in the Building” is available on hulu. Season 5 is in production.
