I love the heck outa Martin Short.
He's talented beyond belief so after watching this gosh-awful mess, I have to wonder -- Why?
Very few comedy programs hit the satire of Late Night Television, the last being the wonderful "Larry Sanders Show" but Martin's portrayal of a slovenly, rude, disgusting interviewer Glick makes rude and obnoxious Chris Matthews of "Hardball" seem more entertaining.
Maybe Martin's idea was to finally have a "hefty" man be a talk show host to ask the questions real talk show hosts skip over but to me, this particular portrayal is annoying, and very, very boring. I'm not entertained and I never laughed ONCE during any of the programs I've sat through.
But, the good news is, I really like Martin Short's commercials for the A&E Channel. Now that reminds me of how talented and overlooked he really is. This doesn't.
