šŸŽ™ļø SNL Hall of Fame – Martin Short (Nomination Episode Revisited)


Third time’s the charm — and the Hall is better for it.

After years of debate, discussion, and passionate defense,Ā Martin ShortĀ has officially entered theĀ SNL Hall of FameĀ as part of theĀ Season Seven Class, earningĀ 66.05% of the voteĀ on hisĀ third ballot.

šŸŽ§ In this re-released nomination episode, recorded back in Season 5,Ā Bill KenneyĀ makes the definitive case for Marty — the frenetic force of nature who lit up the 1984–85 season with an unforgettable run of characters.

šŸŽ¤ This one’s steered by our Chief ConversationalistĀ Thomas Sena, with trivia corner highlights from the ever-wiseĀ Matt Ardill.

Whether you know him best as Ed Grimley, Jackie Rogers Jr., or just the guy who can out-energy anyone in comedy — you’ll love this look back at the argument that finally stuck.


ā€œIf Martin Short only gave us one season, he made it count — and then some.ā€
