He’s well into his ’70s, and it’s time for a victory lap for one of the most beloved comics ever.
This looks cute, with just enough Martin Short to take the formerly “wild and crazy guy” down a few notches.
I interviewed Martin a few times over the years, mostly after his “Three Amigos” era peak (didn’t like any of his movies until the less sophmoric fare started turning up — “Pennies from Heaven,””Roxanne,” “All of Me,” “Grand Canyon,” “Bowfinger.” Laid back, sure of himself, a comic who had already made it in ways no one — himself included — could ever have dreamed, a pretty good actor when the chips were down. Very good at playing unlikable, which seems to be a stretch because he isn’t.
Apple TV has this. March 29.
