Analyzing the Comedic Stylings of Martin Short and Steve Martin
In this chapter, they discuss the comedic stylings of Martin Short and Steve Martin in the podcast episode. They talk about how absurdism plays a big role in their comedy, but it doesn't always coexist easily with the murder theme of the show. They specifically mention a recent episode where Steve Martin's character has a musical part but struggles with it because he can't sing. He has to learn to make an omelet in order to remember the lyrics of the patter song. Overall, they feel that the show has become more of a character-driven comedy rather than a murder show.
