00:01:14
because of that on only mer in the
00:01:16

00:01:17
which I've seen is a [ __ ] home run um

[ __ ] anyway great Dana you add
00:01:43
because I love these I'm GNA add to uh
00:01:45
Steve Martin Martin Short or as I think
00:01:47
they should shorten the name to Steve
00:01:48
Martin Short because every name is there
00:01:51
boom um Steve Martin you know and Martin
00:01:55
Short I I saw them both on television in
00:01:57
the 70s Martin Short thought well we
00:02:00
look like we're in the same tribe he
00:02:01
does voices he's cool I was always in
00:02:04
awe of him and then of course Steve
00:02:05
Martin was a huge influence on me
00:02:08
because he wouldn't do jokes it was all
00:02:10
Rhythm excuse me so I would say it was
00:02:13
slightly nerve-wracking to have both
00:02:14
Your Heroes on there really and now they
00:02:17
are perfectly adjoined at the hip at
00:02:20
this point of their career and they act
00:02:22
as incredible they're such good friends
00:02:24
and so I would say it was a thrill to
00:02:27
have both of them on Marty had one of
00:02:29
best years ever on Satur Night Live has
00:02:31
hosted a ton and Steve Martin is just a
00:02:34
