-Thanks for remembering!
-That's exactly -- Welcome.
-I'm still hurting over that Password loss.
-[ Laughing ] Oh, my gosh. I got to say,
thank you so much
for coming back to my show. I appreciate it.
-Well, let me just say something to you, truthfully,
and just before you jump into all your prepared notes,
I was going to say that, really,
of all the NBC late night shows currently on the air,
this is in my top two.
-Thank you. [ Laughter ]
-Yeah. And, you know, I would do the show way more often
but, you know...pride.
[ Laughter ]
-Hey. -No, seriously, seriously,
I just -- Seriously, I just want to say
that you have been here every night
during this incredible crisis.
You've been doing great work, hilariously funny,
and it's very comforting to have you, so thank you.
-Wow.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Thank you.
-Okay, now do me.
[ Laughter ]
-This the way it works?
Steve Martin, I think you are a genius.
-Oh, I wasn't expecting that.
-Yeah. [ Cheers and applause ]
-Thank you. Wow.
-Hey, when did you remove your Robert E. Lee statue?
Backstage, it was such a tradition to see that.
-Yeah, yeah, and I moved it. [ Laughs ]
Yeah, it must have thrown you off backstage.
But, well, I've got to be honest,
you guys both look fantastic.
-Oh, come on. -Thank you. Thank you.
The pandemic is a challenge. But I'll tell you one thing.
It was great to go around the house for a year and a half
wearing no bra.
[ Laughter ]
And I let my hair go gray, and I'm going to keep it.
-Oh, wow.
-You look fantastic, by the way.
You never -- You really --
Is it the horse deworming medication you're taking?
[ Laughter ]
-I want to talk about "Only Murders in the Building."
This is the most-watched comedy premiere in the history of Hulu.
It's a major hit. [ Cheers and applause ]
It's a major hit.
You're great in it.
I'll tell you who's fantastic, Selena Gomez.
-Unbelievable. -Selena Gomez is fantastic.
-Hello. I'm also in it.
Steve's in it -- Let's go back.
Steve's great. Selena's great.
-Yeah, no -- Yeah.
-She is fantastic.
She came in our trailer for the first time,
and she said, "Gee, it smells like Grandma's house."
-Aww, that's sweet, you know?
-Yeah. -No, she's an amazing actress.
And this is how I know she's a great actress --
'cause when she met us, she acted like she knew us.
-Aww. [ Laughter ]
-The nice thing about Selena... -What?
-She lays out our pills for us in the morning.
-I mean, this is why I can feel the chemistry.
Now, I'm about to show everyone a clip.
Can you tell us what we're about to see here?
-Yeah, well, we chose this clip because you're in it.
You did us a favor. Tina Fey is in it.
Nathan Lane is in it. Marty and I are in it.
-Sting is in it.
-Well -- What? -Sting.
-He's mentioned.
-Yes. -He's not in the clip.
-Oh, no, sorry. -Yeah, yeah, that's okay.
I think I can do this. I can handle it.
[ Laughter ]
♪♪
I think -- -Yeah.
-Anybody else you want to be in the clip?
[ Laughter ]
-Hey, Springsteen's in it!
-Beyoncé's in it. -Oh, she's so good.
-Marlon Brando, and he's dead.
-Marlon Brando's in it. He's dead, and he's still in it.
Okay, I'm sorry. I'm going to stop now.
-Maybe we should just show the clip.
-Or, yeah. -Let it speak for itself.
-Yep. Well, it's your show. [ Laughter ]
Let's take a look at "Only Murders in the Building."
Take a look.
-The title of their podcast is
"Dimas Chicken Wraps Presents:
Only Murders in the Building."
[ Laughter ]
-Well, I do love Dimas Chicken Wraps.
[ TV shuts off ]
-Teddy, do you understand
how huge Fallon is in Greece?
[ Audience laughing ]
Do you know what my cousins back on Nisyros are going to do
when they see this?
They're going to [bleep] themselves, Oli!
They're going to squat right down on their goat fields
and [bleep] themselves in envy!
[ Laughs ]
-[ Chuckles ]
-That's fantastic! [ Cheers and applause ]
-There's no one funnier and no one more perfect
in everything he does than Nathan Lane.
-Nathan Lane was spectacular -- And you were, too.
But Nathan Lane is a professional and --
[ Laughter ]
-What does that mean? -Oh, it --
-It was a stretch for Jimmy. He was playing a talk show host.
[ Laughter ]
-I want to congratulate you again on this.
It's a big, giant hit on Hulu.
Check it out. "Only Murders in the Building."
Before you guys go, I would just like to --
-Oh, we're going?
[ Laughter ]
-You don't have to. -I get that a lot at parties.
[ Laughter ]
-"Hey, before you go." -"Before you go."
-You go, "I just got here." Yeah.
I wanted to see if you wanted to say something
about our friend Norm Macdonald who passed away.
-Oh, my God. -Funny.
-Yeah. -There was no one funnier.
Brilliant Canadian.
-You know, we do --
In our show, we do a tribute to comedians.
I'm serious about this. And we name different comedians,
like Bob Newhart and people.
And we do a tribute to Norm Macdonald,
and we use one of his lines. We say --
And this is one of his lines -- He said,
"There's only two categories of cliff diving --
grand champion and stuff on a rock."
[ Laughter ]
-But I really think that in comedy, particularly,
the originals stand out the most,
and they stay with us long after they're gone.
And there was no one more original than Norm Macdonald.
There was no one who did his style.
There was no one who had his rhythms.
He was remarkable and so kind and funny.
-Yeah, I just figured I'd get your thoughts.
Thank you so much for being here.
You guys are the greatest. Steve Martin, Martin Short.
