Let me tell you something about two of Hollywood’s most legendary comedians, Steve Martin and Martin Short. These guys aren’t just funny—they’re practically a gossip hotline for each other! They’ve been swapping juicy stories and laughing their way through life for over 40 years. Steve, who’s now 78, recently opened up to People magazine about their unique bond, revealing that they always have something interesting to share, especially when it comes to gossip. And Martin, at 74, chimed in with his signature charm, saying, “Always with gossip.”
Longtime Friends with a Shared Love for Laughter
Steve and Martin’s friendship isn’t just about the laughs—it’s a deep connection built on mutual respect, admiration, and, of course, humor. Their bond has stood the test of time, proving that true friendship is timeless. In a world where relationships can sometimes feel fleeting, these two have shown that laughter and loyalty can keep a friendship strong for decades. As Steve put it, “Steve and my friendship is tied around a concept of ongoing laughter—and respect for each other and love for each other—but laughter.”
Their Latest Adventures in Comedy
Right now, Steve and Martin are busy filming the fourth season of Hulu’s hit show, “Only Murders in the Building,” alongside the incredibly talented Selena Gomez. It’s a project that showcases their ability to adapt and thrive in the ever-changing world of entertainment. But that’s not all—they’re also getting ready to launch their comedy tour, “The Dukes of Funnytown!” on May 3. Fans can expect a mix of classic routines and fresh material, as Steve explained, “The format is basically the same, but the interior bits change and grow, and we drop a line and add a line. If you saw a show one week and went to see it the next week, it’d be pretty close to the same. But if you saw it five years ago, it would be pretty close to the same too.”

A Legacy of Collaboration
Steve and Martin have worked together on countless projects over the years, always bringing the laughs and leaving audiences wanting more. Back in 1986, they starred together in the iconic film “Three Amigos!” alongside Chevy Chase. Their chemistry was undeniable, and it didn’t stop there. The former “Saturday Night Live” castmates also starred in “Father of the Bride” in 1991, followed by “Father of the Bride Part II” in 1995, and even reunited for “Father of the Bride Part 3(ish)” in 2020. Their collaborations have become the stuff of legend, proving that great comedy is timeless.
What makes their friendship so special is the genuine respect they have for one another. In a 2019 interview with People, Martin praised Steve’s character, saying, “Steve’s best quality is who he is as a man. He’s very moral, he’s very loyal, very, very ethical. And this is beyond all that talent. You can be working with the most talented, funniest human being in the world, but if you don’t have those other things, you don’t really want to tour with someone.”
Steve returned the sentiment with equal warmth, calling Martin “kind of the perfect person.” He continued, “He’s smart, he’s funny. He has many friends. He’s the most popular guy at your dinner party. If he’s coming to a dinner party, it’s a better dinner party. If Marty can’t come, you cancel the party.”
