[Chad from Oregon]

Oooh, I am so happy!

Wouldn't it be a tragic shame if there were some kind of mix up and Martin ended up on The Mike Show instead? Oh dear...

[David]

I don't think you have been, Regulator Guy, The. It's on the front page of the WFMU website, so it seems legit.

I will never doubt Mr. Scharpling again.

CONGRATULATIONS TOM for landing this interview. Awesome! Also, thanks to that weird Breckman guy for his help in making it happen.

So hey, here's a lost gem in the works of Mr. Short:

It was shown on NBC in May of 1995, as a "replacement" show in the SNL time slot. It only aired once, as far as I know ... but I saw it at the time and remember being quite impressed with it. Does anyone know if this can be found anywhere? Perhaps on one of the torrent sites? It was a great showcase for Mr. Short and some of his favorite co-conspirators (Jan Hooks, Phil Hartman, and a lot of SCTV people).

This is the one and only clip from the show that I was able to find on YouTube:

Martin Short as Brad Allen the President of Scrap-Co is the funniest thing on SCTV.

Artisans and their Arts rules.

That was a really awesome episode.  I wonder if Short's a regular listener now?

[drennen_won]
