Martin Short

Steve Martin and Martin Short read each other's eulogies in SNL opening monologue and welcomed their 'Only Murders' co-star Selena Gomez to the stage.

“It’s sad because you won’t be able to hear the wonderful things I’m going to say at your memorial,” Martin told Short. “I learned so much from Steve,” Short said. He was taken away from us too soon, but sadly, not before he played Jack Frost in Santa Clause 3.” “You see, we are like Harry and Meghan,” Short said, referring to Netflix’s new docuseries from the couple. “Even at the end, Marty had a wonderful girlfriend smart, beautiful and so realistic,” Martin said. “For example, he taught me that you don’t need to restrict the urinal to just number one.” 10 episode being Martin’s 16th time hosting the show and Short’s third. So, what I did was I wrote up your eulogy so you can hear it now.” Short quipped back that he did the same. “He was always sexually active — as long as there were batteries in the house. “I will always be haunted by Marty’s last words: Tesla autopilot engage,” Martin said in his eulogy for Short. “No one’s rooting for us, but you’ll tune in to watch anyway.” Martin then went on to joke about how working with Short for him is like watching the World Cup, he just can’t get into it. When Short told Martin he adores working with him and wishes they could do it forever, Martin said Short can’t because he won’t live forever.

'Only Murders in the Building' stars Steve Martin and Martin Short host 'Saturday Night Live,' with musical guest Brandi Carlile.

Will we get a [Selena Gomez](https://ew.com/person/selena-gomez/) cameo? As mentioned, I was able to see Martin and Short this summer — some of the same jokes here, same vibe bouncing off one another. [SNL in Review](https://twitter.com/snlinreview).

Short portrays Ebenezer Scrooge, who goes from a heartless wretch to turning his life around after meeting three mysterious ghosts along his journey in the film ...

He eventually gives up and wishes everyone a Merry Christmas anyway. While peering out his high window overlooking the hustle and bustle of the town below, he tosses a young lad (played by Sarah Sherman) a gold coin to purchase some food for Tiny Tim and his family when something gruesome and unexpected happens. Being a ghost, everyone thinks Ebenezer is behind all the gore.

Comedy nerds mourned the passing of Carl Reiner, not just because he was an icon in his own right, but because of his long-time friendship with another legend, ...

Before long, Martin reveals that he’s so ready to be done with Short that he’s already written his friend’s eulogy. Martin starts off with a reminder of his extensive history hosting the show – surpassed only by Alec Baldwin – before the the pair do a little self-deprecating. One-liners are not the usual fare for a sketch comedy show, but an opportunity like this is apparently too good to pass up.
