Even the Rich

Even in the face of unimaginable tragedy and grief, Martin Short has always kept his sense of humor. As a young man, he channels three devastating personal losses into becoming a performing dynamo. Instead of being defined by these tragedies, he’s emboldened to go out and pursue his acting dreams in Toronto in the 70s. The Canadian city is a hotbed of future comedy icons like Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, and Gilda Radner. And Martin fits right in. It starts with a production of “Godspell,” and Martin never looks back. It takes him to stardom on TV, stage, and the big screen. And now, with “Only Murders in the Building,” a bromance with Steve Martin, and a rumored romance with Meryl Streep, this triple-threat Emmy winner is as hot as ever. And living proof that with grit, determination, and a killer sense of humor, you can survive anything.You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.
