  • Funny Man Martin Short Plays The
    University News & Information California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, California May 10, 2012 NEWS RELEASE FROM CAL POLY ARTS: CONTACT: LISA WOSKE, [email protected] TICKET SALES: 805/756-2787; www.calpolyarts.org FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SAN LUIS OBISPO, CALIFORNIA – Celebrated comedian and actor Martin Short has won legions of fans and garnered accolades in television, film, and theater since his breakout season on Saturday Night Live almost 30 years ago. On Sunday, June 3, 2012 at 7 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center’s Cohan Center, Cal Poly Arts is pleased to present MARTIN SHORT in a hilarious one-man tour-de-force. The versatile comic has created a variety show based on his Broadway show, Fame Becomes Me, and is performing some of his most beloved characters (think "Ed Grimley!"). This family show comes alive with sketches, songs, and special guest interviews with “celebrities” from the community. Short won his first Emmy in 1982 while working on Canada’s “SCTV Comedy Network,” which brought him to the attention of the producers of “Saturday Night Live.” He became a fan-favorite for his portrayal of characters such as Grimley, lawyer Nathan Thurm, and “legendary songwriter” Irving Cohen. His popularity and exposure on “Saturday Night Live” led Short to cross over quickly into feature films. He made his film debut in Three Amigos (with Chevy Chase and Steve Martin) and followed with Inner Space, Three Fugitives, Clifford, Pure Luck, and Tim Burton’s Mars Attacks. One of Short’s most memorable roles was in the Steve Martin remake of Father of the Bride, as Franck the wedding planner – a role he reprised a few years later in Father of the Bride, Part II.

  • Andrew Clark: OK, Welcome Everybody. (Applause) Got a Little Introduction Here
    Andrew Clark: OK, welcome everybody. (applause) Got a little introduction here. Born in 1952 in Berkeley, California, Jim Downey attended Harvard University, where he studied Russian and worked as the editor of the Harvard Lampoon. After he traveled Eastern Europe, Downey returned and submitted a writing sample to a show called Saturday Night Live. It didn’t take him long to make an impact. Downey worked closely with such comedians as Bill Murray, with whom he shared an office, Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Gilda Radner and Laraine Newman. Over the next four decades, Downey worked with and wrote for every star the show has produced, including Eddie Murphy, Dana Carvey, Chris Farley, Norm Macdonald, Phil Hartman, Will Ferrell, Fred Armisen, Bill Hader, Amy Poehler, Kenan Thompson and dozens of others. Called by Lorne Michaels “the best political humorist alive,” Downey has been responsible for nearly every political-centered piece during Saturday Night Live’s run, starting with Jimmy Carter in the seventies and ending six administrations later with Barack Obama. The power of Downey’s political comedy extends beyond merely swaying public opinion. More impressively, his comedy has influenced the actual political landscape. The New York Times says of Downey, “When he has taken aim at the presidential debates, he has consistently defined the candidates before they can define themselves.” Downey has also coined legendary malapropisms, including the non-word “strategery,” out of the mouth of former president George W. Bush. In 2013, after working at SNL off and on for thirty-three of its thirty-eight seasons, only taking a few years off to write for Late Night with David Letterman in 1982 and after being temporarily fired in 1998, Downey retired from the show, and today he currently lives in rural central New York state, pursuing his lifetime goal of (being a) harmless eccentric.
