As much as I love watching Martin in character, whether in a movie or a typical nighttime talk show where he's roasting everyone with his razor-sharp wit, I could listen to him tell stories like this for days. Absolutely adore him.

Not only is Martin Short extremely quick-witted, funny, and creates great characters, but he can also write, act, sing, and dance, and he does all those things well.

Thank you Conan for your love and appreciation of comedy and just throwback to a time when it was work, passion, heartbreak, talent, and loyalty to the arts. You keep that close to your heart..it shows. Miss the Conan show, but glad you've made your mark in history as one of the best to ever do it. Thank you, kind sir. 🙏🏼👍🏼👊🏼 Btw, around 7yrs old or so, one of my first characters I would entertain my mom, brother, and lil sis after dinner in the living room was "I must say" (didn't know Ed's name at the time). I enjoyed my older brother not beating on me. Too busy with laughing. Felt pride in seeing my lil sis look up to me as something special. But most of all...loved seeing my mom - in that moment have no worries. No stress about bills and being a single mom. Just laughter filled our house those nights. So, thank you, Martin Short.

I love when Martin Short that you are most influenced with comedy when you are around 12. I fell in love with Conan’s comedy around 10 years old and have never stopped loving him!

What is cool is the whole Irish dynamic. Consider that his father was from Crossmaglen, County Armagh in Northern Ireland... ground zero for the Troubles outside of Belfast and a heavily armed bastion of the IRA. The British Army called Armagh, "bandit country" and going into Crossmaglen like entering the territory of the Apaches. So being raised in that pressure cooker of violence and turmoil gave you a very tilted yet satirical and darkly comedic view of life just to carry on with daily existence. They have a saying in Ulster, "if you can't laugh at yourself, you can only cry at the world." I am sure much of that was passed on to young Martin who then took his father's take on life and incorporated it into his own comedic brilliance.
