Hello and welcome to Little Gold Men, Vanity Fair's podcast for film, TV, and awards lovers.

I'm David Canfield.

We've got a real treat for you today, an interview with the legendary Martin Short.

We got to chat about his award-winning role as Oliver Putnam

on Only Murders in the Building, as well as his iconic characters on SCTB damages, and so much more

we cover the gamut of his incredible career. And of course, I couldn't let him go without asking

about his BFF Steve Martin. So without further ado, let's dive in.

Martin Short, welcome to Little Gold Men. Thank you very much. We are pleased to have you. Fresh off of your SAG Award win for Best Actor for Only Murders in the Building. You

didn't get to go in person due to a little thing called COVID, but I'm curious how that win is settling a few months in. Oh, it's fantastic. It was, you know,

you can't get a greater honor than being acknowledged from your peers, the people that actually

do what you do. That's the best award, I think, the sack. How do you feel about you and Steve always being in the same category together?

Well, it's a little weird. I mean, we kind of do divided, I think, often.

Yeah.

You know, someone approached me at the very beginning about would I consider being a supporting actor?

Really?

Yes.

Would I go into that category?

And I said, well, that's completely dishonest.

So no.

You know.

Yeah.

Was it like a strategic question, like to improve your chances?
