Selena Gomez Makes Surprise Appearance on 'SNL' to Support Steve Martin and Martin Short

This week's "Saturday Night Live," which featured Steve Martin and Martin Short returning to Studio 8H as co-hosts, was one of the most anticipated episodes of the season for fans. comedy geeks. It was Martin's 16th time hosting the show (you know you're an 'SNL' legend when you qualified for the 5-Timers Club three times), and he wasted no time before use a video montage to playfully mock Short for only hosting 3 times.

The 'Only Murders in the Building' co-stars got to work on their monologue, delivering a series of lines that gently poke fun at current pop culture trends but save most of the effort for self-mockery.

"We're like Harry and Meghan," Short said. "No one is supporting us, but you'll tune in to watch anyway."

“Working with Martin Short is like a soccer world cup,” said Martin. "I can't get over it."

The centerpiece of the monologue was a gag in which Martin and Short wrote eulogies for each other, because each wanted the other to hear what he was planning to say at his funeral. They decided to read their eulogies to each other on stage, which had predictably hilarious results.

"Marty didn't want to be cremated. Too late!" said Martin. "I'll never forget his last words: 'Tesla Autopilot, get involved!'

“There are so many good things I could say about Steve Martin,” added Short. "But this hardly seems the time, nor the place."

Martin also found time to poke fun at one of Short's most infamous roles, joking that "Marty was taken from us too soon. But unfortunately, not before he played Jack. Frost in "The Santa Clause 3".

The track ended when Martin pretended to lament the end of his longtime creative partnership with Short.

"Now that Marty is gone, who am I going to work with?" he asked, before getting an immediate response from Selena Gomez.

"And me?" she said as she ran up on stage to wrap up the "Only Murders in the Building" reunion and present the show alongside Martin and Short.
