Review: I Must Say: My Life as a Humble Comedy Legend

I Must Say: My Life as a Humble Comedy Legend by Martin Short
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I'm a fan of Martin Short although I couldn't tell you why. I was born too late to appreciate most of his comedy. I never saw him on SNL. Most movies he was in where he was considered great are from before I was born..except for of course Father of the Bride. I hate Jiminy Glick. But I appreciate Martin Short. I did love his Netflix special with Steve Martin, for example. This book peaked my interest and I loved hearing not only of Martin's life but that of all the other comedy legends he was around with. I had no clue that he dated Gilda Radner! Martin's life wasn't all laughs. There are great moments of sadness as well. I was also shocked at how he humanized other "famous" people. Steve Martin calling Paparazzi bastards sticks out in my mind. It's Steve Martin! He can't use that language!
