And I, of course, knew who he was, and I loved, I, since then, you know, I learned more, because I always enjoyed him, but, you know, I also watched him do specials and create new characters, and I've realized that his characters are so bizarre, they have nothing to do with humanity. They have to do with, like, you know, aliens coming down and saying, hey, I think this is the way they act.
Well, thank you.
Here's exactly what I thought. I gave Marty the script and I said, now look, when you read this script... and you come across Rick Moranis' name, just cross it out and write yours in.
Yeah. Oh, wow. I think it was John Belushi. And then it went to John Candy. I think you kind of know what we were going for there. But anyway, both were unavailable. And then the name Martin Short was... Martin Short came up. That's right. And after there was a pause... And then Chevy was last? No, Chevy was in. Me and Chevy were definitely in. It's actually Chevy and I, but whatever.
I love that you have a character backstory. Like you're Marlon Brando. What's your backstory?
Marty, tell them the title of your TV special that I love so much. I, Martin Short Goes Hollywood. But that reminded me of something I read years ago of this funniest book title I ever read. And then I thought, oh, I wish I had thought of that. And then I researched it, and there is no book called that. And I thought, maybe I did think of it.
But it was kind of a comedy biography of a fictitious actor called I, Actor.
Can you see me raising my hand?
No, I was just saying that you're right. You usually work with somebody, then you never see them again. But in this case, we continued to work together kind of coincidentally. through Father of the Bride movies. And did we do another movie together? Is that it?
Well, it's like you guys, you're constantly riffing off each other. It's fun, and when you work together, you start doing that all the time, and then you develop a kind of a, not only a kinship, but a style.
Well, let me add something. Only Marty has friends. Right. Right. That's my problem with these two. I benefit from his friends.
But he's very social. Everybody wants to be with Marty. And I've told this before. I'd say, you know, if we're, for example, or if someone is plotting a dinner party in Hollywood and you invite these people and you invite Marty, and if Marty can't come, you cancel the party. Marty is the party.
Yes, right. But I have to add something. And Jason said, after the success of Three Amigos, dot, dot, dot, you really mean 20 years after the success, Three Amigos, did it become a success? It was a minor success at the time. And then it had an accumulation. Yeah. It accrued value.
And then I remember like, you know, 10 years ago, a magazine from the UK, I think it was called Empire Magazine, they called it, we want to put you, Chevy, and Marty on the cover. And I said, why? And they said, well, it's the 25th anniversary of Three Amigos. And it's a huge hit. You mean somebody cares? I didn't think anybody even ever thought about it.
Yeah, but the next year they did the cover of 25 Years Later from Ishtar.
It's a magazine of flops. Yeah, I see now.
Well, the truth is... I enjoy working with Marty and I think it's vice versa. So we actually enjoy it and all that other stuff.
Well, that's a good idea.
Right, right.
Yeah. There are no pricks allowed. Our max is six, maybe seven shows a month. Okay. So it's not, you know, I couldn't do it because I got a family and I love being home. Yeah.
