    Martin Short on David Letterman

    I fell asleep on the couch this evening with the TV on, and woke up just in time to see the last few seconds of a sketch involving Martin Short in a kilt emulating Brittany Spears from the back seat of a limousine.



    The joke from the comedians this week appears to be the kilt.

    Regards,
    Rex.

    I caught the whole "comedy" sketch. My first question was, Why is he wearing his sporran off to the side? That was answered quickly enough when he sat back and opened wide. My next question was, Who censored out (via pixelation) the naughty bits? Perhaps it was Marty himself, who didn't want anyone to see how really "Short" he is.

    Chalk up another example of total tastelessness.

    Here's the link.

    You'll have to scroll down as it wouldn't let me link to just the one video.

    Not only was the Sporran off but the pleats were in the front.
    Not really funny Martin is too full of himself.

    You know, don't you think there would have been somebody working on the set who knew that the pleats go to the back of the kilt?

    All part of a really over the top bad bit of humor. OK sort of funny maybe black humor.

    Fell asleep!

    I hate that, I was trying to see the Dropkick Murphys when they were on the Late Show and I fell asleep too! The Army works me too hard sometimes, getting up at 0430 to stand outside singing songs and giving reports, ets. I guess I will just have to go see the Dropkick Murphys in person!
