Martin Short on Good Hang with Amy Poehler

with MS Martin Short

The Hang, in Short

Colin Jost dropped a wild full-circle moment: Ed Grimley was his first SNL character ever, spotted on a childhood studio tour before he even watched the show. Now he's on Update. Amy recruits Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph, and Jost to prep questions for Martin Short, who talks SNL 50th and recovering from COVID (which hit basically everyone, from Meryl Streep to Mike Myers to Amy Schumer). Tina admits she's had a decades-long crush on Marty and saw him ushering a Godspell show in the early 90s. She wants to know if he was ever frustrated being "the funny guy" in prestige projects like Father of the Bride. Jost's proposed questions? "Who was your biggest enemy and who did you hook up with?" Amy's genuinely considering asking them. Marty reveals he and Steve Martin tested SNL 50th material at Comedy Cellar, which is insane given Steve's last club set was apparently 1966.
