Martin Short on tomorrow night's Best Show?!
« on: April 27, 2009, 10:30:55 PM »
According to the Scharpling twitter, it's gonna happen!

RT @Scharpling Oh my goodness, it looks like the impossible is going to happen. MARTIN SHORT on tomorrow's Best Show On WFMU! CLIFFORD ALERT!



I really hope he's not kidding. This could be truly... and I try not to overuse this word... epic. Anyone know if it's true or not?

This would be great, if true. It would be even better, though, if Jackie Rogers Jr. were on the show.

I just realized that even though I've had this account for a while, that was my first post. Hopefully I'll have many many more.

Anyway, who thinks he should give Short the suit from the movie to wear? That would be just amazing. I'll bet it still fits, too. Maybe, since it's radio, his character from Pure Luck and Jiminy Glick can all have a conversation with each other!

It's a great film, but I would hope that the entire show wouldn't just be about Clifford. Personally, I'm more of a fan of Martin Short's work on SCTV and SNL than I am of his film work.

Three Fugitives is criminally underrated, evidenced by the fact that youtube has only a VHS upload with Swedish subtitles.

Maybe we could get a "The World Is in the Turlet" cover from the Queen Haters!

I hope Tom (or someone) can ask him about the Ed Grimley cartoon, which remains one of my favorite shows ever (animated or otherwise).

Hope this isn't like the time Jerry Seinfeld was "on."

SO pumped for this. Martin Short went to my dad's high school.
If honesty changed the hearts of men, who could contend? If all I thought were true, in this great divide that is my life, I fear to think of all that I'd undo, if all i thought were true.

I remember the Ed Grimley cartoon. That was great. Martin Short is a legend and I'm looking forward to listening to the show tonight.

I was reading up on Martin Short's career history today, and found a surprise on the Wikipedia entry for Clifford! Check out who's listed as "starring" in the movie.

(Apologies if this has already been posted in another thread.)

This is the only video that I could find of the Ed Grimley cartoon show:

I miss cartoons like this.
