The Long and Short of It
I've posted enough videos here of Jiminy Glick that I figure it's only proper to give some equal time to the fellow underneath. This is from 2016 when Martin Short received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Canadian Screen Awards. While he gives a very nice acceptance speech, and the video montage is a lot of fun, I think the best part may be the presentation speech by Short's close friend and fellow SCTV alum, Eugene Levy.
By the way, they refer to the award as the "Candy." I tracked down the story behind that. The host for the evening is Norm MacDonald, and he quipped at the evening that, being Canada, it only made sense to called the award the Candy, as much a tribute to John Candy as anything -- and throughout the night, other presenters (including Donald Sutherland) picked up on it, and it appears to have stuck.
