You Can Call Him Al
The guest on this week’s Al Franken podcast is Martin Short, in a repeat episode. As Al writes, “My interview with Martin Short just in time for the new season of Only Murderers in the Building. Marty and I spoke in 2022 just as the show was debuting on Hulu. In our conversation Short discusses his role on the show and his 50+ years in showbiz. He also examines his relationship with his co-star Steve Martin and breaks down some of his classic characters from over the years.”
And as I wrote at the time – “The talk with Martin Short is very entertaining and funny. But what I most like about it is that whenever I’ve seen Martin Short interviewed, he seems like he’d have a lot of interesting things to say about his career and profession but always tends to play a character and go for the jokes. But he actually puts that aside for the interview here and (though not ‘serious’ because it’s a funny, lively conversation) is himself, almost no shtick, making it all the more intriguing. Whether that’s because he’s friends with Franken, or a case of not playing to a TV camera, who knows? Perhaps both, but I suspect more the latter. In any events, it’s very good.”
