Martin Short Endures The Most Awkward Interview That Ever Happened

A photo of Martin Short

I don’t want to be presumptuous here or anything, but I think I speak for most of us when I say that Martin Short seems like an incredibly adorable, charming, talented, funny, and lovable man. I love everything he’s ever done, and I think he’s just incredible. We’re all lucky that there’s never much gossip about him, or I’d be rambling on about him for days. I love Martin Short. Love. Him.

In case you didn’t know this story, Martin was married to a woman named Nancy for several years. They met in 1972 when they were in the same production of Godspell, and they got married in 1980. They had three children together, two sons and a daughter, but in August of 2010, Nancy died after suffering from ovarian cancer.

Let me repeat that last bit: Martin’s wife died two years ago.

Now watch this interview he did with Kathie Lee:

If you can think of any interviews that are more uncomfortable than this one, then let me know, because it might be the only thing that can get poor Martin Short’s face out of my head. Because, really, Kathie Lee, you know how great this woman is but you didn’t know that she’s been dead for two years? It might be time to call it a day on this whole journalism thing.

  • Yeah, I really think she needs to pack it on in. I was thinking about this last night while I was making dinner. Would it hurt to do a quick Google search on the person you’re, you know, supposed to interview to see what’s new or what’s happened since the last time you spoke? Jeez.

    I also love Martin Short. I had a mega-crush on him when I was a little girl, too, and all because of ¡Three Amigos!

  • NO WORRIES , FOLKS…

    NO ONE EVEN SAW IT …. NO ONE – OF ANY VALUE – WATCHES THAT DINOSAUR NETWORK . HOO HOOH

    AND , THE SHOW – WITH THOSE TWO TACO BENDERS – LOOKS LIKE IT’S FROM MEXICO….!!!!!@#$%

    POOR MARTY … ALITTLE ‘SHORT” ON JUDGEMENT ….

    • Agreed. Speaking of Steve Martin, I recently saw ‘It’s Complicated’, and if you haven’t seen it, you NEED TO.

  • Kathy Lee Gifford is an imbecile. She was an imbecile yesterday, she’s an imbecile today, she’ll still be one tomorrow. The only change I can foresee is her is becoming an even bigger imbecile. (And yes, I stole and paraphrased this from a great scene in “In Bruges” where Brendon Gleason refers to Ray Fiennes using a different and very effective verb.)

    • God bless Senor Loco! Couldn’t have said it better! I was in radio for about 10 years and the cardinal rule always was and always will be “Do your research”. It’s contemptable bubble-heads like Kathy Lee that true professionals in the business really despise.
