“We’re going to witness Levy, present a Candy, to Short.” I friggin love that line, by the man, the myth, the Legend, you guessed it, Frank Stallone. Thanks for a plethora of laughs Norm.
The most moving and emotional part of his award acceptance speech was when he thanked his late wife, Nancy. I thought Marty was going to cry when he mentioned Nancy. RIP Nancy Dolman Short
I was holding my breath when they shifted the camera to the audience. I was afraid they would assume that the woman sitting next to him was his wife when she'd passed 6 years earlier.
Hello from Britain. Martin Short might well be the most consummate comedian in the world. Certainly just about the nicest. More awards for this genius please.
Martin Short is a comic genius; it's only fitting that he be feted by the great Norm MacDonald. Great to see Martin and the other SCTV alums. Catherine O'Hara is still beautiful. RIP, John Candy.
If I had to pick one favorite entertainer of my lifetime, this here would be the one. So sad that his lovely wife Nancy is no longer here to enjoy life but hopefully they'll meet again one day. Here's one big maple leaf syrup salute to Martin Short.
I do not think anyone can deny his comedy charisma.. but i am sad when people do not mention his role as Frik, in the Merlin series. Martin Short was truly wonderful there.
As a kid I used to get out of bed and sneak downstairs to watch SCTV Martin Short, John Candy, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Andrea Martin, Dave Thomas, Rick Moranis, Joe Flaherty where probably the greatest ensemble cast ever to grace a stage together.
A compilation with mostly film-stuff almost can't do Martin Short justice. The original characters and physical comedy he's done over the years are really first rate. From the amazing stuff of SCTV to the classic banter of Jiminy Glick and everything in between, Marty Short is _totally_ worthy of high recognition for his life-long contributions to comedy. Plus he's just a good dude.
It's the brutal winters. They have nothing to do but be funny about it or they'll never survive. Same thing with Chicago. Why not Alaska, you say? Well, Alaska sucks. That's all that is.
I don't know where we get our humour from but it does seem to be pretty natural part of being Canadian. You see the same humour in everyday Canadians that you see in the Hollywood Cdn comedians.
I had a tear in my eye when they played through all his work. And the end of the clip when he was singing on his special with paul, I don't know why but that really got me.
I used to not like him, don't know why. then I grew up and realized his genius. LIke no other. Brilliant. Love this man's mind and comedy and abilities
I grew up watching Monty Python. I’ve always loved that type of humor. When I first saw Martin Short on SCTV, I was absolutely blown away. This was truly one funny human being. Every character that he came up with was brilliant because they were somewhat relatable. I hope there is a lot more to come from this comedic genius. 😂🤣😂🤣🙃😜🤨❗️❕❗️❕❗️🇨🇦❕
It's always interesting to see a persons range. His comedy is unquestionable. When I saw him act in the series Damages it was like watching Eddie Murphy act in Dreamgirls. Amazing!
Thank you, Canada, for giving us the majority of the SCTV cast. The best comedy I was fortunate enough to see in my college years, and in my opinion funnier than SNL. Great comedy on a shoestring budget.
Greater than the sum of his enormously talented parts. Can’t imagine how bittersweet it must have been to thank his sweetheart at the end of that acceptance speech. Blessing upon blessing, without ending, Martin Short.🙏🏼🕊
That Godspell cast in Toronto included not only Levy and Short but other future Second City Toronto cast members Dave Thomas, Andrea Martin, Paul Schaffer, and Gilda Radner--an amazing constellation of talent.
Love that they're giving him this now: he'll be on the couch in 20 years joking with Fallon when Fallon is looking like Letterman today XD. This man is no where NEAR done.
I think you are an amazing man ..... You have brought so much joy and happiness to the world and you deserve all the awards that comes your way. I’m astounded by your humility It was wonderful to hear you give kudos to your late wife Your a gift to the world And I just love you .....
Let me just say he was frick in the merlin mini series from 1998 and I've watched that a million times. His character has a bigger arc than anyone in the story and goes through the biggest transformations physically, mentally, spiritually. That mini series is A+ but martin short is such a huge role in it. Starting as merlin's mentor then becoming enemies, then allies, and finally friends after decades of history. Also Martin Short is the lead in pebble and the penguin, which he sings to barry manilow's original music. And he and Steve martin are the high priests in prince of Egypt, where he sings again. So unappreciated even for someone recognized.
Martin short you are such a real gift to all of us who have watched you and laughed so hard that your antics Thank you so much for giving us such pleasure you had an amazing man and loved by all of us thank you again
A fitting tribute to Martin Short and to the world's most admirable country: Canada. Let's hope they never put up a wall to keep us troublemaking Americans out.
Noe Berengena Naaaah. We couldn't afford it... lol That's very kind of you to say, but I don't know if we really deserve the accolade you've given us of "the world's most admirable country." Maybe I think that because I'm one of those "lowly Canadians" that Jim mentioned. ;p
Not since Charlie Chapman Bob Hope and Jerry Lewis have I ever seen such a gifted comedian as Martin short! Well deserved sir! Well deserved. No one can crack a joke quite like the Germans. They're just a happy bunch of people that throughout history everyone has thoroughly enjoyed God bless you to the furthest heavens , Dear Martin short. Oh shit, shit I meant Canadians!
My all time favorite is Catherine O'Hara. To me, she shined above the rest, especially with her speed-reading course on SCTV! I laugh every time I think of it. But her two skits that I paraphrased with my parents during the holidays were her "Greatest Hits of The Eleventh Century" and her medieval skit where she didn't like brussels sprouts and was sent to the dungeon! I bust up every time. The man who won her heart was blessed.
Norm McDonald, Martin Short, John Candy, Eugene Levy. That’s a whole lot of comedy genius and prowess. Those dang Canucks know how to make them 🤷♂️ ps - John Candy was a favorite of mine. Still can’t believe that he’s gone. And can’t even begin to get it that Norm’s gone 🤷♂️🙏😢😢😢
Truly one of the very few actual comedic geniuses of the last 2 centuries. I've adored Marty for 30 plus years. And lucky enough as a kid to have met him and got him to actually send me 3 headshot personalized autographs through the years. Super nice guy for someone soo crazy with soo many bizarre characters to rolodex. Congrats and unconditional love to you and always for all the years of extreme laughter and happiness. Your the best Marty.
As an Irishman I have to say Canada produces the best comedians in the world. Class act, Marty.
“We’re going to witness Levy, present a Candy, to Short.”
I friggin love that line, by the man, the myth, the Legend, you guessed it, Frank Stallone. Thanks for a plethora of laughs Norm.
One of the funniest human beings on the planet: his energy is incomparable.
I love Norm, too.
I could go without sleep for a week but still have more energy than he has.
…and his heart😌✨
I think Robin Williams had him beat. But yeah, dude was a firecracker.
Ummm...name his best movie
The most moving and emotional part of his award acceptance speech was when he thanked his late wife, Nancy. I thought Marty was going to cry when he mentioned Nancy. RIP Nancy Dolman Short
I cried😔 love that man. Brilliant ❤️🙏
@@octo.lina69 I cried reading these comments. Seriously what a sweet and funny man
What a national treasure!
I was holding my breath when they shifted the camera to the audience. I was afraid they would assume that the woman sitting next to him was his wife when she'd passed 6 years earlier.
@@amelia0086 and he is ours
The insane levels of comedic genius that was SCTV still boggles my mind. So many comedy Legends were a part of that show. We were blessed to have it.
Aaaaaaaaaaaamen to that, brother.
You Said It...👍.
The Canadians have the DNA for hysterical humor.
I like to think of it as the child of British and American humor.
Shatner
Martin short so deserved this award one of the sweetest men congratulations xxxxxxxx
He keeps his wife alive and I love that about him. ♥
When he brought up his brother's accomplishments, that was classy.
Everytime I see Martin Short I really enjoy every minute. He can be just sitting there and I will crack up. He's today's Charlie Chaplin.
he's way better than Chaplin, in my opinion.
Hello from Britain. Martin Short might well be the most consummate comedian in the world. Certainly just about the nicest. More awards for this genius please.
I seriously hope 50 years from now Norm gets some credit for the award being called The Candy.
Martin Short is a comic genius; it's only fitting that he be feted by the great Norm MacDonald. Great to see Martin and the other SCTV alums. Catherine O'Hara is still beautiful. RIP, John Candy.
She does look gorgeous
And now rest in peace norm macdonald🙏🏼 🇨🇦
The already excellent SCTV got even better when Martin Short joined the cast.
Incredible guy.
This video helped me find out that Canada has their own Emmys
I'm always amazed at how so many of the very best comics are from Canada... I wish the U.S. could claim Martin Short... well done Canada!
If I had to pick one favorite entertainer of my lifetime, this here would be the one. So sad that his lovely wife Nancy is no longer here to enjoy life but hopefully they'll meet again one day. Here's one big maple leaf syrup salute to Martin Short.
Thank God for Martin Short.
Amen.

I've come to realize that I feel the same way
Love you Mr. Short. For anyone who doesn't know: Captain Ron and Get Over It are underrated.
Captain Ron,was filmed,on the island of Puerto Rico,were im from......
I do not think anyone can deny his comedy charisma.. but i am sad when people do not mention his role as Frik, in the Merlin series. Martin Short was truly wonderful there.
As a kid I used to get out of bed and sneak downstairs to watch SCTV Martin Short, John Candy, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Andrea Martin, Dave Thomas, Rick Moranis, Joe Flaherty where probably the greatest ensemble cast ever to grace a stage together.
Crazy talented cast!
sctv was awesome!
Me too. Can't believe as an elementary kid I was up at 11pm watching SCTV
Hell yea
T H Me too. 😀
A compilation with mostly film-stuff almost can't do Martin Short justice. The original characters and physical comedy he's done over the years are really first rate.

Canada is the factory of laughter
It's the brutal winters. They have nothing to do but be funny about it or they'll never survive. Same thing with Chicago. Why not Alaska, you say? Well, Alaska sucks. That's all that is.
Canada is the Goldilock's porridge of humour. Not too cold like the UK and not too hot like the US. Just right.
Moe from iraq l
I don't know where we get our humour from but it does seem to be pretty natural part of being Canadian. You see the same humour in everyday Canadians that you see in the Hollywood Cdn comedians.
we kick your ass at hockey and on the street goof
"I didn't even know I was sick..."
Thank you so much Mr. Short.
I had a tear in my eye when they played through all his work. And the end of the clip when he was singing on his special with paul, I don't know why but that really got me.
Me too.
a big toe same here
Me too.. gave me the chills
One of the funniest men alive! Greatest talk show guest ever! And so sweet in regards to his beloved Nancy😓
He deserves it! Glick is my favorite but he's had a lot of funny characters.
Jiminy Glick is one of the greatest comedy characters ever created. The part Marty was born to play.
Eugene Proctor from 'Pure Luck', YES this movie is on DVD but, let's hope it comes to Blu-ray for the '30th Anniversary' in 2021.
Whenever I find a new clip on UA-cam with Martin Short in it my heart skips a beat. A Comedy master.
I used to not like him, don't know why. then I grew up and realized his genius. LIke no other. Brilliant. Love this man's mind and comedy and abilities
Same
love u Martin!! u deserve the award!
Jiminy Glick is pure genius
The man was receiving a lifetime achievement award and he took time to brag about his brother. How amazing.
Martin Short does the best Brian Linehan impression, it was so sad when Nancy died in 2010
He is amazing! I love him! Blessings,
He deserves this award for Jiminy Glick alone! I laugh til I cry 🤣.
Damn Canada has given us some of our greatest comedy legends.
The late John Candy and Martin Short are my two absolute favorite Canadian comedians.
Love. Proud. Canadian. Talented.
I grew up watching Monty Python. I’ve always loved that type of humor. When I first saw Martin Short on SCTV, I was absolutely blown away. This was truly one funny human being. Every character that he came up with was brilliant because they were somewhat relatable. I hope there is a lot more to come from this comedic genius.
😂🤣😂🤣🙃😜🤨❗️❕❗️❕❗️🇨🇦❕
One of the funniest, and sweetest men on the planet
He is the gold standard for comedy and true talent....and a great human being !
He was incredible in “Three Fugitives” and of course “The Father of the Bride I and II”
I don't care about awards. I just want to sit next to Catherine O'Hara. She's gorgeous.
She is gorgeous! 😍😍😍
Eh, I will take the brunette in the blue dress behind her.
📺 🏆🎥
Also, thank you Eugene Levi for presenting the lifetime achievement for the outstanding tribute and film honorarium for Martin Short. Well done.
Martin Short is a comedy legend and is deserving of all the praises and accolades that he receives. He is one of the very best.
His wife would have been so proud.
I adore and love this guy, he kills me... So talented
It's always interesting to see a persons range. His comedy is unquestionable. When I saw him act in the series Damages it was like watching Eddie Murphy act in Dreamgirls. Amazing!
i love martin short! he deserves this award for sure!
Thank you, Canada, for giving us the majority of the SCTV cast. The best comedy I was fortunate enough to see in my college years, and in my opinion funnier than SNL. Great comedy on a shoestring budget.
Martin Short, one of the very few celebrities I've never heard or seen a bad word spoken of them.
You know that is a very _true_ statement you made.
I've always liked him in character(s) or mostly, just being himself.
Greater than the sum of his enormously talented parts. Can’t imagine how bittersweet it must have been to thank his sweetheart at the end of that acceptance speech. Blessing upon blessing, without ending, Martin Short.🙏🏼🕊
Should've had a clip of his dramatic performance in "Damages"--he was brilliant.
No one makes me laugh like Martin Short!! His incredible spirit is a joyful bliss to humanity & the universe. Love, love, love this joyful Genious!
That Godspell cast in Toronto included not only Levy and Short but other future Second City Toronto cast members Dave Thomas, Andrea Martin, Paul Schaffer, and Gilda Radner--an amazing constellation of talent.
Love that they're giving him this now: he'll be on the couch in 20 years joking with Fallon when Fallon is looking like Letterman today XD. This man is no where NEAR done.
Fallon genuinely blows
Clifford is a sick work of art ; as twisted & hilarious as it gets ....
Absolutely one of my favorites: "Yes, I think watching 'Clifford' is the only time a person like me can be truly happy."
This guy really knows how to give a speech.
SCTV at its peak was as good or better than SNL.
It was awesome watching this on CBC across the river in Detroit.
Sctv at its worst was better than SNL.
Oh, SCTV was always better than SNL. It's not even close!
Catherine O'Hara always looks incredibly happily confused.
Lolllll why is this so true!!! I have always thought that.
As a paddy I'd like to say Canadian celebs are Hollywood less the bullshit!! Short had a great career.. Norm was a bonus! Thanks for the laughs!! 😂🤣
One of best to every do it, a true gentleman
I think you are an amazing man ..... You have brought so much joy and happiness to the world and you deserve all the awards that comes your way. I’m astounded by your humility It was wonderful to hear you give kudos to your late wife Your a gift to the world And I just love you .....
Martin Short is truly one of a kind! He makes every person who comes across him feel better! He’s sort of like the personality of magic personified.
Jimmy Glick is no b.s., is the funniest character that has ever been or ever will !! Ever!!!!!!!!!!
Martin Short always made me laugh so hard in Three Fugitives. He's funny in everything
Let me just say he was frick in the merlin mini series from 1998 and I've watched that a million times. His character has a bigger arc than anyone in the story and goes through the biggest transformations physically, mentally, spiritually. That mini series is A+ but martin short is such a huge role in it. Starting as merlin's mentor then becoming enemies, then allies, and finally friends after decades of history.

So unappreciated even for someone recognized.
I just love Marty. If anyone is a comedy genius, he is.
Absolute Legend! His Range is second to none!
and he really isn't wrong about Canada being super accepting of the art of entertainment...
The single greatest late night talk show guest ever as well
Martin short you are such a real gift to all of us who have watched you and laughed so hard that your antics Thank you so much for giving us such pleasure you had an amazing man and loved by all of us thank you again
The way he spoke about Nancy. Felt every word, felt that love. Got me tearful
The term "Over the top ! " is this man's career !!
Who stole Eugene Levy's eyeballs? Am I crazy or do all the surviving SCTV folks still look fabulous?
A fitting tribute to Martin Short and to the world's most admirable country: Canada. Let's hope they never put up a wall to keep us troublemaking Americans out.
IF things keep going the way they are, we may have to...
Noe Berengena Naaaah. We couldn't afford it... lol That's very kind of you to say, but I don't know if we really deserve the accolade you've given us of "the world's most admirable country." Maybe I think that because I'm one of those "lowly Canadians" that Jim mentioned. ;p
You don't want countries to have borders? Well that's wise.
Martin and Eugene are great but Norm brought me here...RIP
Martin Short is a comedic genius.
Love Him !
Proud to be Canadian, yes i live in Quebec province , But im Also Canadian, wtg Mr Short, for All you have done, keep on Rocking. A Fan Michel.
Congrats to Martin for winning the Short Comedian Award!!!
One of the best Actors We ever had.
....Our world is a funnier place with Martin Short .....
So proud he is Canadian.
Jackie Rogers, Nathan Thurm, ... Ed Grimly. You can't make this stuff up, unless you are MS. I love him!
America can learn a great deal from Canada's legacy with the arts.
What a great speech. Funny and heartfelt. What a great career this man has had. He makes Canada proud.
It is better to have loved a short, than to never have loved a tall. Genius.
🗨 _Brilliant_ ❗
Laughing allot makes ya happy and keeps ya warm...neighbors to the North, I salute you on your unique ways of staying :",oh so cozy, I must say"🎭🕊
All that hard work paid off. All the times of pushing yourself and he actually is still standing happy. Love Martin Short.
SCTV RULES!
He deserves it : He is one of the very great

Martin Short's acting in Damages was 'A' lister quality. I hope he does more of that.
I have loved Martin since I was young. Huge crush on him and David Spade forever and ever and ever and ever 💕
Me too 😁
One of my bucket list wishes is to meet this guy.
My all time favorite is Catherine O'Hara. To me, she shined above the rest, especially with her speed-reading course on SCTV! I laugh every time I think of it.
