Martin Short kicked off his monologue for his fifth time hosting “Saturday Night Live” by joking that he had to get through it quickly, because “I have 10 sketches to get to where I play an elf.”
He then added: “Also, I left my Uber driver waiting, and you know how testy Matt Gaetz can get,” referring to the disgraced former U.S. congressman.
The first half of Short’s monologue continued in that fashion with old fashioned set-up, punchline jokes. He thanked “SNL” creator and executive producer Lorne Michaels for inviting him to host on the show’s 50th season, noting that they’re “very close friends.”
