🎙️ 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, Martin Short has officially entered the SNL Hall of Fame as part of the Season Seven Class, earning 66.05% of the vote on his third ballot.

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

🎤 This one’s steered by our Chief Conversationalist Thomas Sena, with trivia corner highlights from the ever-wise 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.

“If Martin Short only gave us one season, he made it count — and then some.”
