Welcome to the club, Marty.
Martin Short, welcome to the Saturday Night Live Five-Timers Club!
The Only Murders in the Building star and former SNL cast member celebrated his fifth time hosting in style, with Tom Hanks himself welcoming him into the lauded Five-Timers Club. Also present were Paul Rudd, Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin (who’s hosted a whopping 17 times), Kristen Wiig, Emma Stone, Melissa McCarthy, John Mulaney, and Scarlett Johansson, who shut her husband (Weekend Update co-anchor Colin Jost) out of the club.
Jimmy Fallon was also on hand to give Short his Five-Timers Club jacket, and if you thought Short was done roasting him after his guest spot on his show this past week, then you’d be mistaken.
“I can only stay for a little bit, and then I have to go and host another game show and laugh at my own jokes,” Fallon said upon entering.
“Well, at least someone’s laughing,” Short replied.
Fallon wasn’t the only victim of Short’s jabs, though. He also roasted Mulaney after he made mention of their short-lived 2014 sitcom Mulaney.
“But you came back strong!” Short said. “Then you crashed and burned. And then you came back strong, and we’re all so curious what will happen next.”
Not even Short’s absent partner-in-crime Steve Martin was spared. As Hanks gives Short the night’s signature cocktail, a “MartyTini”, he remarks it’s often paired with a “Steve MarTini.”
“I bet it’s even better on its own,” Short says while taking a sip.
Don’t worry, though: Members of the Five-Timers Club dish Short’s roasts back to him. To see more playful insults and learn about some intriguing romantic relationships within the Club, check out the full clip above.
