Although only on SNL for one season, Martin Short made an indelible impact with his manic energy and gallery of bizarre characters. He brought his SCTV creations Ed Grimley, the triangle-playing, pants-hitching nerd, and the slimy, chain-smoking lawyer Nathan Thurm to a national audience. His frenetic, go-for-broke performance style was a jolt of pure comedic adrenaline. While his SNL stint was brief, it was just one stop in a legendary, multi-decade career on stage and screen. From Broadway triumphs in shows like The Producers to his iconic film roles and recent success on Only Murders in the Building, Short has remained a relentlessly joyful and inventive comedic force.
