Shorts

And a happy birthday to Martin Short.  Like others on SCTV, he went into movies, but was a born sketch performer.  His most famous character is Ed Grimley, but there are so many others.

My favorite is probaby old-time songwriter Irving Cohen. Though it's literally a one-note bit, it always made me laugh (even in bad quality video):



Here's Irving again, along with another one of his greatest creations, Nathan Thurm.



Short's characters often sang. Short himself was a professional singer, which helped in creating Jackie Rogers, Senior and Junior:



Here's a double dose of Jerry Lewis. I'm certain Martin Short loves Jerry, but these parodies take no prisoners.

I liked Jiminy Glick mainly because he didn't seem any different from similar shows and that was what made it work. Its kind of like the Late Night Weekend guys on Letterman.
