Born in Ontario, Canada, Martin Short began his career on Canada's "SCTV Comedy Network," where his work garnered an Emmy Award. Short's proven ability as a comedic chameleon and his host of hilarious impressions brought him to the attention of "Saturday Night Live." After only one season, Short was instantly recognized for his standout performances and on-the-mark impressions of such characters as Ed Grimley, Jackie Rogers Jr., legendary songwriter Irving Cohen and lawyer Nathan Thurm. With the tremendous exposure he gained on "Saturday Night Live," he was on the Hollywood fast track and quickly crossed over into feature film work.
Short made his big screen debut in "Three Amigos." where he worked along side former "Saturday Night Live" colleagues Chevy Chase and Steve Martin. Over the years he has continued to land plum comedic roles in theatrical releases such as "Inner Space", Tim Burton's "Mars Attacks," "Jungle to Jungle" and "The Big Picture," among others. Perhaps his most memorable role was that of the scene-stealing Franck the wedding planner in "Father of the Bride." He later reprised the hilarious portrayal for "Father of the Bride II."
Not limiting himself to acting, Short has also written, produced and starred in three highly acclaimed comedy specials for television. For these efforts, which included "Martin Short's Concert for the North Americas," for Showtime, "I Martin Short, Goes Hollywood," for NBC, and "The Show Formerly Known As The Martin Short Show," for NBC, he won two Cable Ace awards and an Emmy Award, respectively.
In the fall of '99, Short brought his comedic and musical talents, versatility and improvisational genius to the television genre when he hosted King World's daily one-hour talk/variety entertainment program, The Martin Short Show. The show garnered seven Emmy nominations, two of which were for "Best Show' and "Best Host". Back for it's third season, Short currently stars as Jiminy Glick in "Primetime Glick" for Comedy Central.
Recently, Martin starred in Mel Brooks' critically acclaimed The Producers with Jason Alexander at The Pantages Theater.
