Martin Short Attempts a Few Impressions

The hilarious Martin Short stopped by to tell Ellen about his new movie, "Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil." But first he tried to get an audience member to guess a few impressions!

[@gnitpeohseluj]

He was AMAZING as Preminger in Barbie the Princess and the Pauper! That's about all I know.

[@monsoonBloom]

💯% agree

[@lenakingsleigh]

Exactly! Best Barbie villain ever

[@aoifekennedy9004]

It was Barbie where I heard of him from and he’s the BEST Barbie villain EVER out of all the Barbie movies villains he was my favourite one

[@zoecurtin4216]

I only came here I’m hopes he would do Preminger from the princess and the pauper

[@monsoonBloom]

Same

[@bashbrannigan]

At least she knew it was Martin Short.

[@goldwincs]

Martin Short is an amazing comedic actor. why is he not in so many movies?

[@voxcodasynthe]

His autobiography is brilliant. A must read.

[@vladdesa]

What a handsome man. He is so brilliant.

[@D12345]

How does she know Carol Channing but didn't get the Robin Williams one with the Mork and Mindy clue. She must be a theater buff because the first is much more obscure than the latter.

[@peaceandlove544]

Millenial

[@chloella2786]

Wonderful he can do Robin Williams 😭💔 still miss him

[@kiradavis9156]

I wish I was there I love Martin short... I would have wrapped my arms around him so tight. And maybe even cried he's a living legend

[@tc_is_me]

EXACTLY !!! That’s what I was thinking. Forget the camera she won, I’d want to hug Martin !!!

[@lekoman]

Katherine Hepburn impressions usually sound like a late 80s Honda trying to start in cold weather.

[@dannymartinez9371]

Really was a generation gap with all those impressions but Short nailed it when he said "I am timeless." Shame, though, that a theatre student couldn't put name to the actors impersonated.

[@daniellewaters2056]

Ohmygod, his Jimmy Stewart impression was SPOT ON!!!!!

[@BladeRunner-td8be]

It's impossible to get too much Martin Short. I rank him third in my all time funniest people list. Right after Don Rickles and Jonathan Winters.

[@fotofitstrips]

So underrated. His Jiminy Glick character is the best.

[@LeftOfToday]

His Robin Williams impression was fab! It was spot on!!

[@caterpillarnetwork5815]

Preminger😆😆😂

[@KrazieCastaway]

Man, I love Martin Short. He still looks young. I wish he was more prominent in today's media so people younger than me knew how he was. And I'm only 25.

[@d7458]

Now you 36!

[@KrazieCastaway]

@@d7458 lol thanks pal... I'm laughing and crying at the same time now

[@technowey]

His impressions are really good. I got all but the first one immediately.

[@nicolenewsome4863]

That's because you are smart.

[@louise1596]

The Jimmy Stewart impression was great

[@gianagi3]

UGHHH i missed it :( if i would've known he was on i would've watched it!! i love martin short with a passion

[@royallopez69]

Brilliant performance

[@LilMumBarbie]

Hoodwinked movies were awesome and Martin Short was funny as usual.

[@dionnet24]

She's young so she doesn't know these people, but cracking up Martin Short giving her the answers.

[@nicolenewsome4863]

Yeah she's to young to know who he is.

[@bedazzlejuju]

J’adoe martin...he is life!

[@skycastle24]

LOVE MARTIN SHORT!

[@RollOnToVictory]

I know a few of his impressions were dated, but COME ON!!! Stewart and Hepburn? You're an acting major. That's like a gymnast not knowing who Nadia or Korbut are.

[@robinh4]

I knew it was Robin Williams. :) A classic role for him. Also, Martin Short is awesome.

[@russtex]

Love ya Marty!

[@Trishelllllle67]

If she didn't know Robin Williams, I'm surprised she knew it was Martin Short.

[@sandreaandrea]

I have to pee but I can't stop watching Ellen, which is bad news for me if I keep watching funny videos. :P

[@54jeanmarie]

Who the hell doesn't know Katharine Hepburn?

[@rvpstudiosstudios1028]

I guess they don’t teach that in school.

[@barrymiller99]

She’s adorable.

[@felicity4711]

He’s usually a much better impressionist.

[@MicahKang13]

When Ellen calls people down, it reminds me of the Price Is Rightt .

[@Davidlp70]

She didn't even say hello or bye to Martin Short. Like she wasn't impressed.

[@nicolenewsome4863]

Ikr. What a snob

[@marias7599]

Right I noticed that too

[@wristspin17]

i never knew Robin Williams could be impersonated :D

[@mehsmehmeh]

who plays the dog with the deep voice?

[@hellohome]

ohhh what song is that >< I can't put my finger on it!

[@FeelinErie]

She doesn't know ''Mork and Mindy''???

[@WalterLiddy]

... and she DOES know Carol Channing?

[@floppyflapjacks4]

all of the audience members on ellen FREAK OUT when they get picked :D

[@butterflymoon6368]

lol never had him down as a dancer

[@analaurapinzonsolis5755]

He's the English voice of Glauco Marques and the speaking voice of Cher.

[@artlover842]

Martin also plays the cat in the hat

[@Libzolibbylafalot]

i

[@nocapitsricorn]

is the wolf Joe from Family Guy? *LOL*

[@BALiGirL1990]

It's funny how my name (Kristi) is so often heard on Television and yet it's never me that they're calling......

[@redrobot77]

jive talkin, bee gees.

[@KellyOKellyComedy]

I'm probably close to her age and I knew Mork and Mindy

[@paulavieira8994]

A primeira era a Aracy da Toptherm .😂

[@melly13ful]

i'd kill to be at ellen's show once...wooow

[@DesertScorpionKSA]

She must be nervous because anyone would get the Robin Williams impression.

[@4271Dreamer]

Mork and Mindy lol :p

[@Carlos3ac]

what did she got???

[@royallopez69]

Martin short needs props js

[@Saramore13]

haha 0:17 is the best. ahhhh

[@XsweetstarliteX]

wow ellen sure has alot of celeb friends.

[@StabbingKnifes]

Madagascar 3,few months ago.

[@Mcsizzle123]

i guessedall of those first time... how did she not ?

[@fuscinula]

Too bad he never made a duo with Rich Little... "Little & Short" had so much potential!

[@BladeRunner-td8be]

Martin has great talent but Rich Little is out of his league.

[@Alwaysshortt]

@alesbica im pretty sure ellen wont run away with any of the men kissing her, also im sure portia feels secure in her relationship not to get all jealous over ellen kissing MEN

[@matthewdrummond640]

How doesn't she get robin ?

[@LittleMak1]

Its Frank!!!

[@shaymayo6]

the girl is stunning

[@pachanga701]

@alesbica I agree. Almost...

[@SheTheDee1971]

Just spent the entire video wishing the airhead would pull her t shirt strap up, smh.

[@rvpstudiosstudios1028]

That’s mean. Martin SHOULD OF used CURRENT celebrities INSTEAD OF past celebrities that were DEAD THIRTY YEARS AGO.

[@theshawnmurphyjournal2946]

This show is watchable if you have a 6 pack of beer and 2 marijuana joints

[@Skelly5962]

The Shawn Murphy Journal This show is watchable if you change the channel and watch something else.

[@royallopez69]

Fucking Ellen 😂😂😂

[@roseotterdavidson]

@sahalanimation lol I get but I don't know what "umadbro" means!

[@goosegaskins]

He has to say Mork and Mindy and she still doesn't get it. Pretty much sums up Martin Short right there.

[@tyro244]

Not too many guest stars are the same height as Ellen. :-D

[@butterflymoon6368]

he's tall!!!

[@dJustLaughb]

I thought robin Williams was Jim Carrey haha

[@echolot]

cristina avila is so cute

[@gillbert7]

portia's gonna b mad

[@KellCrielaars]

the voice is originaly from my country
*the netherlands*

[@addrenalinedrummer]

I thought the first impression would be Rip Taylor

[@jasdper]

looks like British PM Tony Blair

[@Vortigern99]

Because she was -14 the last time he was in a high-profile movie?

[@mariana4gymnastics]

@pachanga701 lol the name of the person you’ve just responded to means ‘the lesbian’ in english xD

[@SomethingWitty0]

i thought his robin williams sounded a lot like Dylan Moran

[@alesbica]

I wonder how Portia feels about Ellen's almost-making-out moments with guests. They happen way too often.

[@rvpstudiosstudios1028]

Martin..you SHOULD OF DONE Fred Eisenberger...throw her WAAAAAY OFF.

[@amandatran2934]

He kissed Ellen!!!!!

[@candysweet434]

how did she not get robin williams?!!

[@KristieBonnycastle]

@BALiGirL1990 My name is Kristie too. But I never hear my name anywhere, not even on TV..

[@Tre404]

"Attempts??"

[@joshwee29]
