-- Magic Johnson, Queen Latifah, Martin Short, John McEnroe, Megan Mullally, Whoopi Goldberg and Tony Danza all have a common talking point: When it came to hosting a television talk show, they walked the walk but could not talk the talk.
Dying's easy, comedy's hard. But killing off heroes is delightful. It's always admirable to see comedians taking dramatic roles, if they do it well. It feels good to make 'em laugh, but it feels even better to kick ass. Any...
There was a terrible Merlin miniseries on NBC years ago, with Martin Short and Miranda Richarson in it, playing some kind of elf and Queen Mab, respectively (White House advisor Valerie Jarrett did not play a goblin in that movie, contrary to popular belief). In the end, people stopped believing in Mab, and she’s finally [...]
Brooklyn Heights is no stranger to the FX drama Damages which filmed much of its second season in and around Brooklyn last year. Oscar winner William Hurt took up temporary residence on Willow Street during the filming and even caused some controversy at a local bistro. The series is now shooting its third season, stopping [...]
The TV landscape is littered with the wreckages of failed late-night talk shows (remember Chevy Chase and Magic Johnson'), but it hasn't slowed the rush of stars seeking their own shot. Magic Johnson, Queen Latifah, Martin Short, John McEnroe, Megan Mullally, Whoopi Goldberg and Tony Danza all have a common talking point. When it came to hosting a television talk show, they walked the walk, but could...
The Daily Show's Steve Carell wasn't the first choice for the role of Michael Scott on The Office... Paul Giamatti was first suggested for the role, but he turned it down. Giamatti famous as we all know, of course, for being the son of Major League Baseball commissioner Bart Giamatti. Hank Azaria was interested in the role, which would've taken away The Simpsons best asset, had he got it. Martin Short...
Can a Christian be a Freemason? This is one of those frequently asked questions that regularly gets an airing either on Christian radio or in church circles. Another question asked, is Freemasonry Christian? So I must answer an emphatic NO to both questions, but also try to perhaps qualify why the Born Again Christian can never seek membership to be a Mason or any other secret society. Or even wish...

Sorry for the lack of posts. For a filler clip, here’s some semi-Canadian content, as well as something that was quite literally a filler episode of SCTV. Three Toronto Second City members who were not members of SCTV — Steven Kampmann, Peter Torokvei and Martin Short — took an old episode of “The Cisco Kid” [...]

So the Avett Brothers did the theme from the Chevy Chase/Steve Martin/Martin Short masterpiece ¡Three Amigos!… dressed as the Three Amigos. And at the Ryman, no less. Keep them coming, and thanks to my pal Bobby Harris (of Goodbye Congregation) for the heads up on this one. The Avett Brothers – Three Amigos
Weezer “The Girl Got Hot” I like late-period Rivers Cuomo because he’s basically like Martin Short in Clifford trying to make faces like a “human boy.” He is a deeply bizarre man who is going far out of his way to be “normal” and make music for “normal” people, but his attempts at banality are so [...]
