Top 10 Moments That Made Us Love Martin Short

do I do you yes well I mean you aren't that easy to do then we'll skip it I just wanted to know yeah okay welcome to Ms Mojo and today we're taking a look at roles and moments that solidified comedian Martin Short as a Canadian treasure you love it am I right number 10 his various voice over roles short is a gifted physical comedian but his eccentric voice is well suited to animation when you need somebody to voice a live wire like stubs in we're back Stefano in Madagascar 3 or Ben in Treasure Planet short should be at the top of the call list of course and Ben Navigator oops and you are Jim oh what a pleasure to meet you Timmy it's Jim Short has also shown off his subtler side as huby in the pebble and the Penguin he's taken on more antagonistic roles as well in The Prince of Egypt Jimmy Neutron and the willoughbys if you need love I beg if you find it elsewhere thank you oh you are Tim and you are Willoughby good day sir Frankenweenie is an especially strong Showcase of his range voicing the support of Edward Frankenstein the grumpy Mr Burgermeister and the Disturbed nassor it's the windmill that doesn't turning turning the air until the sky itself rages against the night The Cat in the Hat is perhaps the most famous character short has voiced receiving a Daytime Emmy nomination number nine winning a Tony for little me although best known for his work in film and TV short has also left his mark on the stage he made his Broadway debut in a musical version of the Goodbye Girl and played Leo Bloom when the producers was on tour in California [Music] the show that brought him the most Acclaim was a 1998 Revival of Neil Simon's little me too or as you say in English thank you in this musical short plays eight different characters including a banker who's accidentally shot a director who accidentally stabs himself and a soldier who dies in a freak typewriter accident although short continually dies on stage the Revival Rose to life thanks to his versatile presence Short's performances would win him the Tony which he brought with him while presenting at the Emmys I just want to go on record to saying that winning an Emmy is every bit as prestigious as winning one of these babies number eight turning Clifford into a cult comedy Imagine The Bad Seed but instead of a little girl it's a 10 year old with Martin Short's head the result is the Cinematic fever dream Clifford in which short stars as a little boy who torments his uncle played by Charles groden boy I don't know what to say I'm sure given that child's parents a heart attack if they press charges you could end up in prison when director Paul Flaherty heard this premise he thought oh that's gonna bomb he wasn't wrong as Clifford was a box office flop and the critics assassinated it although short claims he heard laughter at Advanced screenings a truly detestable film about a truly detestable little boy played by Martin Short the whole gimmick short is an adult playing a kid Martin Short is a brilliant impersonator but he comes across here as a mean little dweeb most comedies would Fade Into Obscurity after this but Clifford found its audience with many loving just how unapologetically surreal it is the film even gained some famous fans like Nicolas Cage who told short that he broke his VHS rewinding a scene from Clifford 35 times what do you think it's funny no it was funny how good morning it was number seven his loving marriage to Nancy dolman you might know Nancy dolman from the sitcom Soap where she played Annie selig Tate Annie you were Eunice's roommate in college yes you remember me while serving as Gilda radner's understudy in the musical Godspell Doleman met short who was playing Jeffrey eight years later the two got hitched not long after adopting their first child Dolmen decided to focus on motherhood with two more kids eventually joining the family Dolmen could still be seen accompanying her husband to award shows and occasionally helping him out in bits I'm very excited because I haven't seen it yet oh we're supposed to go to the opening and I don't know Martika Marty got the wrong night so I haven't seen it and I'm very excited sadly dolman passed away from ovarian cancer in 2010 at age 58. although dolman's life was cut tragically short her husband was grateful to have spent more than 30 years with her short can still feel dolman's presence years later reflecting on their marriage as quote a Triumph you need to try to fuel yourself with the spirit you try to listen I can have a full conversation with Nancy right now as if she's here I know exactly what she'd say because you do we were together for 36 years so at a certain point you at literally become one person number six his dramatic turn on Damages while primarily a showcase for the great Glenn Close damages provided a platform for several comedic actors to demonstrate their dramatic chops from Ted Danson to Lily Tomlin Martin Short did not disappoint with his emmy-nominated turn as Leonard Winstone a wealthy Ponzi scheming family's trusted lawyer we've decided to talk on the record I can't let you do that people need to know that Joe had nothing to do with his father's crime in the Tobin family's eyes Leonard is like family but he's not family ultimately he's an outsider who doesn't fit in anywhere it's one of Short's most understated performances but also among his most layered want to get a water board you know you've been crushing my client for over five hours now we're going in a circle don't you think short short might not immediately strike you as a straight face lawyer which is what makes him perfect for the role Winstone isn't what he seems and the same can be said about short who proves that comedy is just one mask that suits him number five being unrecognizable as Jiminy Glick there are over the top Martin Short characters and then there's Jiminy Glick I'm here with one of those most luscious cupcakes Miss yum yum herself that's fabulous Julia Louis an Ohio native born Malcolm Glickman this middle child of 10 was a failed actor and mistreated assistant to Charles Bronson before inexplicably landing his own talk show some hosts fawn over their guests others make fun of them Glick did both simultaneously in a master class of unprofessionalism the phrasing was very unique right how come people would say boy he seems so kind of bland and there's nothing that's there but I don't feel that I feel that there's a wisdom to you just because the eyes are so dull doesn't mean that there's not a Machinery of Wheels clicking away the character appeared on the short-lived Martin Short show before being spun off in Prime Time Glick and the feature Jiminy Glick and Lala would the latter also saw short portrayed David Lynch who almost directed him in an unproduced movie called one saliva bubble as ridiculous as glick's voice and mannerisms are short created a character who feels just as real as the celebrities that he interviews first of all would you like any of these sure there you go number four taking center stage in Inner Space after appearing in two features short was given arguably his most prominent role yet in 1987's Inner Space take it easy to check it's all right it's all right the nurse will get objections [Music] this fantastic voyage-esque comedy was initially envisioned as Michael J fox in Arnold Schwarzenegger's hulking physique this evolved into a shrunken down Dennis Quaid entering shorts body shorts Jack putter wasn't the intended target but he's now forced to cooperate with Quaid's Lieutenant Pendleton assuming he doesn't lose his mind First Look pal we have to talk no we don't don't what don't have to talk yes we do we do do what have to talk not unless you want to while short is known for playing zany characters he's also believable as an average nice guy Inner Space allows short to show off both sides as a mild-mannered man who's roped into maddening circumstances what are you waiting on look don't rush me okay just be quiet for saying an Oscar for its effects Inner Space earned shorts some of his best reviews and solidified his potential as a movie star number three his SCTV days short made a name for himself on Second City television alongside fellow Rising comedy Stars Eugene Levy John Candy and Catherine O'Hara just in case the love Spirit wants to show you loves present officially joining the cast towards the end of season four shorts stood out with his Larger than Life presence in addition to impersonating real-life figures like Mr Rogers he brought us characters like elderly singer Irving Cohen I wanted to ask you a question go ahead it's your show it's my show his most famous creation was Ed Grimley a man-child whose bizarre behavior was only matched by his hairdo grimly received his own animated series and short even took the character to Saturday Night Live will you please have a seat Jessica yes sir this is a great honor for me to be here and to meet you you know shorts time at SNL was brief yet impactful showcasing other characters like chain smoking attorney Nathan thurm as is the sketch comedy series that best utilized his talents though winning him an Emmy for writing number two his friendship with Steve Martin these two Martin's first cross paths Backstage on the new show the tune didn't get to tap into their natural chemistry until they co-starred in Three Amigos bringing Chevy Chase along for the ride [Applause] the trio would co-host SNL to build hype but Martin and short soon emerged as a Duo becoming Fast Friends shortstart alongside Martin and the Father of the Bride movies as a colorful wedding planner hello over the years the two continued to reunite for SNL talk show appearances tours and Netflix specials short also honored Martin when he received an AFI award although the tribute was equal parts roast tonight we are honoring the movies of Steve Martin why because no one spoke up when the idea was first floated and now it's too late while they rip on each other their friendship is genuine as exemplified when Martin performed a musical eulogy for Nancy

off the comedy Veterans as if they were always a trio as different as the three main characters are they share are a mutual fascination with True Crime and an apartment building known for attracting
