Thanks for posting. I think I've watched almost every martin short clip and this is something new. martin short is such a delight. he never disappoints.
I was an infant when Carson started out. He was an old gentleman when he retired. I'm still amazed by how good he was at this job, it's his positive demeanor no matter what. Carson was smart enough to get all his tapes kept in his family, though I can't imagine he could've predicted UA-cam. This stuff will be generating laughs for centuries probably and serve as a benchmark to future entertainers. Plus it's not blue material, mostly clean. Carson is still killing it almost 20 years in the grave. Pretty mind-blowing.
I just love these Johnny Carson shows ! Great to see Martin Short again, he was a really great talent. Laughed until I cried at the Hepburn imitation.....
Don't you wish someone would have figured out how to extend life by a couple hundred years so Johnny could still be on TV? I guess that's cruel considering it's a real rigmarole to do a show like this 5 nights a week. But man, I enjoyed this show in my very early days, right through to 1992. I was 19. Love watching some of these old clips
A dear friend who lived from 1904 to 1998, adored Johnny ! We watched him religiously and the 1992 ending show with Bette Midler's beautiful song tribute to Johnny that brought him to tears. He was💯% pure class & a real gem. ❣️🤗
Perfect spot Johnny is the greatest late night host of all time Martin Short is TALL on laughs! I will pray for America. Please pray for me. God Bless you. Thank you for posting these!
Johnnie was one of my favorite... ONLY... late night comedy show when growing up. He truly was the funniest man on the T.V. Nobody even comes close these days. Jay Leno tried, but ... "Heee's no JOHNIE!"
Johnny was the Gold Standard. Imo, the only 3 who even came close to him were Conan, (early) Letterman, and Craig Ferguson. Leno was just "okay" imo. Something was missing with him.
@Classic Rock and Furries Rule ! Colbert is a first-class jerk to begin with and now that he's in the throes; exhibiting some of the most severe symptoms of TDS("Trump Derangement Syndrome") he is beyond unbearable. He really should be put away; a truly sick "man".
He was voted the #1 favourite guest of all time in a poll of late night talk show hosts. What seems so effortless and spontaneous was actually the result of months - literally months - of careful preparation by him before his appearances. 3 months beforehand, he would start writing his guest routine, send it to the host, then back-and-forth communications to refine it and iron out any glitches. Absolutely nothing was left to chance. Every word scripted, and rehearsed multiple times. (That's not a criticism - he was such an enormous talent)
Just look at Carson's personality compared to the hacks on today's late-night shows. Always in control, always allowing the guest freedom to be the center of attention, and actually engaging with the guest instead of simply playing games or trying to outdo the guests. This is why he was an icon and lasted 30 years, something none of today's hacks will come close to.
Martin Short never really hit it big in the movies but he was incredibly entertaining all the times he was with Johnny. Super talented. His impression of Katherine Hepburn was brilliant
Martin Short was at his best playing off of someone else, and he was brilliant when you put him in the right role. For example, his good friend Steve Martin could carry a film, but put Short in the same film with Steve, such as Father of the Bride, and Martin Short was a threat to steal the movie.
Martin Short is funny doing anything but his Primetime Glick character interviewing Steve Martin, Mel Brooks and Seinfeld (not together of course) is fall out of your chair funny. Also Short as Clifford in the movies..... hilarious!
That was Freddy DeCordova, Carson's producer, telling him if they kept improvising they'd run out of time for the movie clip. If they edited afterward to make things end on time, they could no longer call it "live." Although, editing a Martin Short appearance would have been a nightmare anyway!
I must say I love old late night, it seemed more fun back then, like a party. I'll give credit the British hosts have kept that atmosphere alive with Norton and Corden. Also if Johnny was on the air today, he'd be the best late night host. I think his bits are outdated and wouldn't fit, but in terms of a host doing a monologue and interviewing guests he'd still be the best.
I was reading one of Griffin’s recent adventure books and there was a segment on marine raiders. Legendary soldiers i the U.S. Marine Corp. I was reminded how Don Rickles always teased Ed McMahon about being a marine raider. But they really were special.
Us yanks consider that to be February 1st. :) I saw Martin Short and David Spade together live on Carson. It was over two years past this episode, on 8/14/91. Spade’s set: ua-cam.com/video/4c0rTqBZo8E/v-deo.html A crazy thing happened when I saw Martin Short and David Spade on Carson. As I was watching the show from the audience, the short guy sitting right in front of me looked familiar - I mean his head did. He had really short black hair. When the show was over I noticed he was not following everyone leaving towards the exits . Instead he was walking down to the stage. That guy was Adam Sandler, there for his buddy David Spade! He was on his first year or two with SNL. A great time!
Wait. At first I thought Johnny was wrong saying Three Fugitives rather than Three Amigos. The he came out and I thought it was Tom Cruise. Yeah, I’m an idiot.
You could always tell when a guest was top-tier, when Fred Silverman (or was it Freddie de Cordova?) - chimes in off camera to give an update while a guest was on the couch. And it happens here. Martin Short was always next - NEXT level. Too bad Hollywood nearly ruined him with their garbage.
The story is Carson put the show above his family, way above according to his wives and children. If only their private lives could stay private!! Oh well the children are enjoying his money now!!
Not the one(of Carson's kids) who is dead. Anyway re: "balancing career and family" Most men of his era and I suspect a great deal of today's(though they may be reluctant to admit it) still put their careers/professional lives 'above[their] family'. If one is to succeed in the "real world" , there really isn't much choice but to relegate "family" to the back seat. But it's like you say, come time - you won't find many of those aggrieved family members refusing to cash the checks courtesy of the 'old man's' lifetime of labor which may have appeared early on to be at the family's expense, emotionally. In the case of Carson there was a certain degree of selfishness involved "the wife", "the kids" served more as accoutrements ...he really couldn't be bothered , too self-involved . Most males like this should just remain single, eschew the procreation aspects , bang as many bitches as they can , perhaps settle eventually on one to act as nursemaid in your dotage ...back in the day and I'm sure to some extent still , a lot of dudes want to have their cake and eat it too . You see how this is working for women you have vainly attempted to follow in the footsteps of their male predecessors ; "having it all" lol

I love it when Johnny really laughs! So funny!!!

I miss him so much !!
NO ONE EVER ……. You know what I’m thinking !!!!!!
Martin Short always has me in stitches. Johnny Carson Show - the best!
Thanks for posting. I think I've watched almost every martin short clip and this is something new. martin short is such a delight. he never disappoints.
I love seeing Johnny crack up. Other hosts/comedians can be so fake, trying to please guests. He was genuinely amused/laughing.
Seeing Johnny crack up is delightful ! He is most genuine in his laughter ! 🤠
I love Johnny that era of TV died with him....
Stop assuming that based on no facts.
@morbidmanmu, can you name a late night host that lives up to the space Johnny Carson left? 🤔😐🫨
Craig Ferguson was funny but…
Like a certain someone with the initials JF? No doubt EXTREMELY talented but please, dial it back some.
Martin Short always cracks me up. He and Norm Macdonald are the only comedians I ever bother to rewatch.
"only"... not Robin Williams ???

@@antonio78230 Just haven't seen him in anything in a long time..Wasn't suggesting he's dead, LOL.
@@threeballedtomcat9380 He’s on Murders in the Building with Steve Martin.
Excellent show!
Ever see Martin Short in Clifford? Absolutely hysterical! Came at the right time in life! 😅😂🤣😭😳🤔🤭
TFS, I will check this Clifford video out or is it a show?
Free on UA-cam. Watch it.
There wasn't too many people that could make Johnny laugh so genuinely like Martin Short could....
Martin, Robin and Johnny... At least one of them is still with us.
I love seeing these Johnny Carson clips. I wish a tv station would put them on tv. Love the Tonight Show.❤
If you get a Roku there are at least two Johnny Carson constant streaming channels on there.
@@jillkjv3816 I have a Roku Thanks for the information. I will look for it.

*The true genuis of Talk Show entertainment.*
true!!! how i wish his life is extended and so is don rickles❤️❤️😊😊
That's a wonderfull idea/suggestion. Or freeze him and wake him up 10/15 years later..
And just imagine. From 1962-1980, the show ran for 90 minutes!
Martin Short, is never short on fun energy ! 🤠🤗
Johnny was the best and these old clips are still better than anything nowadays.
Father of the Bride...a must see to enjoy Martin Short's hillarious comedy and ad lib...with Steve Martin...
😅
Perfect spot

Consistently the Best talk show guest EVER
Martin Short is a national treasure!
I don't know why Mr.Short hasn't received the Mark Twain award for comedic excellence.
Martin is what you call *a really REALLY intense* improv comedic wit and crazy character. like Don Rickles, --- a real *HIGH WIRE ACT.*
No comparison to the legend Rickles

Martin Short is probably THE most talented right from the womb comic in the world.
He kind of has that Robin Williams thing going on.
Yeah, cocaine.
Johnny must’ve jumped out of his chair laughing when Martin did that “slow roll” spit take.😂
Yes, the crowd reacts audibly to Carson's hearty _reaction_ i.e., up and out of the chair
Martin Short...72 years young 😃 🤣 🙃
It would have been awfully funny to see Martin Short andRobin Williams on this show together!
Martin is the best 😁
From SCTV to Jiminy Glick.
My childhood had EXCELLENT midnight entertainment 🌙
I just can't stop thinking about all that raw turkey all over the chair
BACK when late-night tv was funny! I miss this!!! Now as soon as the 11 pm news finish, I find some cable show or a movie
What an elegant people .
I adored Martin Short in What's Up Doc, and Father of the Bride, and more I can't remember right now but I loved him!
I miss Johnny. Watched him from when he joined the Tonight Show in NYC until his very last show in Burbank.

She hated him for that too.
@@oreally8605 Kate didn't need much of an excuse to hate if my memory serves......
He wasn't long lived in Hollywood but what he did do was watch worth watching, for sure.

4:51 Johnny doing everything to keep it together
It's cute how Johnny tries to keep up :)
Martin Short is literally a national treasure!
He's having so much fun he forgot to plug his film.
I tried to figure out what the guy in the background was trying saying, to no avail. But this Martin Short spot is simply hilarious.

He hasn’t been popular in years. Mediocre at best
@@lightbulb134back to your basement TrollBoy.
Johnny had the Best laugh ever lol
Too bad they cut the clip of the bank robber scene with Nick Nolte.

A True Legend
Fellow Canadian🍁 Martin Short 😎👌👍🖖🍁♈
Short is 38 here; he's the same age as the Carson replacement..
There was and always will be only one Tonight show. Please prove me wrong.
I remember that spit take bit from what it broadcast originally.
Sometimes they show the clip, but most times they don’t and if it’s a copyright thing after thirty years that’s pretty lame.
Greatest late night host ever!!
And Martin Short was voted the greatest guest of all time, in a survey of late-night hosts themselves.
Sad, all gone now I miss the old shows
Martin Short, Rodney Dangerfield - I could watch them all day.
I had the biggest crush on him in the 80's when he was on SNL.
He really seemed to enjoy Mr. Short...👍😉
Genius - all of it.

Don't have Robin but we still have Marty.
Always so funny!
You can see Johnny genuinely gets a kick out of Martin. Wish he could have had Jiminy Glick interview Johnny.
Short is an incredible egomaniac-and funny too!
Martin was really Jiminy Glick as a child
a small box should suffice.
What is the name of the movie being referenced here?
I believe it is Three Fugitives :)
@@imbadt800 Thanks,,,, As I look at it in 2024, it says that right in the title of the clip.
I just seen clip where Martin Short is saying he NEVER met Johnny Carson 😮
When Short stands up to do his bit on the Chrysler show lapdog McMahon just stares at Carson to see his reaction and how he should react to it.
Does anyone know the date of this show? Thanks -
It says in the description, 02/01/89. Not sure if that’s Jan 2nd or Feb 1st. Americans do dates differently than the rest of the world.
Us yanks consider that to be February 1st. :) I saw Martin Short and David Spade together live on Carson. It was over two years past this episode, on 8/14/91. Spade’s set: ua-cam.com/video/4c0rTqBZo8E/v-deo.html

Martin Short has looked 45 years old for 45 years
Martin would make me SO lose it!!
love Marty on virtually show but must admit he was his best with Letterman
Would love to see Jiminy Glick interview Johnny and Ed.
No one since Carson matches his ability with guests. His "trick" was to sit back and let them take over. Jack Paar had that knack, too.
Wait. At first I thought Johnny was wrong saying Three Fugitives rather than Three Amigos. The he came out and I thought it was Tom Cruise.
Yeah, I’m an idiot.
He didn’t wash his hands!!😮
Yeah bummer funny man alwaysmade me raff....
When comedy was awesome!
I think the moment Marty did Doug Henning during his 1st appearance was the moment Johnny wanted him back froever.
Back when Hollywood wasn't so woke. Martin Short's Wife passed recently. Maybe a bit ago. Bless him.
Yes sad, but she died in 2010. Hence him and Steve have become so close.
Back before Hollywood was bought and paid for 🇨🇳
woke is a good a good thing.
Recently like a decade ago?
