Martin Short Gets Inducted into SNL’s Five-Timers Club with Help from Star-Studded Group of Friends: Watch
Martin Short has made Saturday Night Live history!
During the Dec. 21 episode of the late-night comedy sketch series, the actor, 74, was inducted into the Five-Timers Club — an elusive group of celebrities that have hosted SNL at least 5 times.
During the show’s opening, Short was celebrated by fellow five-timers club members, including Tom Hanks, Paul Rudd, Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, Kristen Wiig, Scarlett Johansson, Emma Stone, Melissa McCarthy, John Mulaney and Jimmy Fallon.
After each star celebrated Short — and cracked various jokes — Fallon, 50, appeared and presented the Only Murders in the Building star with a token to celebrate his latest achievement.
“I’d like to present to you the official five-timers club jacket, in exactly your size, a women’s small,” the late-night host teased.
Elsewhere during the show, Short took part in various sketches, including one in which he played a man who gets into a parking lot altercation and another where he portrays an airport employee reporting on travelers during the week of Christmas.
One other sketch saw him star as a drama teacher who critiques A Charlie Brown Christmas.
Hozier, meanwhile, served as the evening’s musical guest, returning to the Studio 8H stage for the first time in over a decade. The musician last appeared on SNL in October 2014.
He first performed “Too Sweet” from his EP Unheard, before later returning to sing “Fairytale of New York.”
