clay aiken tells some funny stories

[JOJO22858]

Had the pleasure of leaving the late, great Bette Davis a red rose on her crypt at Forest Lawn

Memorial Park in the Hollywood Hills a few years ago. Her tomb is one of the largest in the

entire cemetary and has one of the prettiest views high up on a hill looking down on all of

Hollywood, as it should be.

[Suthyrngrl]

You have to miss people like Betty Davis

[corinfletcher1]

I almost ran into Martin Short once... fortunately, we both stopped in time! Ha! He is THE NICEST GUY in the world, I'm pretty sure.

[casey3215]

LOVE YOU MARTIN....> sad about your beautiful wife....xxxxxxxxxxx

[peanutbuttercup86]

He is really cute in this video. And tells the best stories ever.

[kurmis94]

Me in the end; OMG THAT WAS DAVE LETTERMAN?

[PungiFungi]

Jan Hooks actually does a better impression of Bette Davis.

[SixtailShadow]

It is so weird seeing him as anything but a cartoon.

[trifulquita15]

Barry Manilow is a comedian too?

[IHABC8]

I saw the thing with him on carson and Bette Davis. And didn't save it. And now can't find.

[dragonboy718]

there was another episode when he told how he met lucille ball on a plane....cannot find that one any longer but equally hysterical

[atombomm]

Nutmaster.

[KJTV67]

You promised me this video would be funny!

[edia05]

I dont underatand the whole thing he is saying??

[ts1depot]

@edia05: He was sitting next to Bette Davis on the Tonight Show one night. He was doing impersonations of her. After he finished impersonating her for several minutes, she asked him if he impersonated her. The whole point is that Bette Davis was so out of it that she had no idea that Short had been impersonating her the entire time.

[hirefunction]

brilliant!

[Allanoster]

Thank you so much for this post, and LET'S ALL THANK Letterman for putting so much stuff on YouTube. SNL doesn't share anything. Oh, and Martin's brilliant.

[REMCUREBOY]

This is one of the funniest thing I've even watched in my life. !!!

[watayapupuya]

This is when he was still funny.

[RyeEncoke]

anyone have the clip of the Johnny Carson show that Martin is talking about?

[rayjr62]

@RyeEncoke Actually, this is funnier than his appearance he talks about (on Carson).

[ThatsOneHotLlama]

Haha when I first heard him I'm like oh! It's jack frost! From Santa clause 3 escape clause:))) lol

[PeeboTyson]

@ThatsOneHotLlama What are you, 12?

[maszlagma]

[lpoxton]

[ladylike1980]

So sorry to hear about the passing of Martin's wife. He is the funniest man alive.

[MASAIMANIC]

he's wrong... she did shake his hand.

[02chevyguy]

@MASAIMANIC I had to look at it as well, and she did shake his hand.

[rayjr62]

I remember seeing this when it first aired. I was in college and had just came home from work and I was eating a sandwich (big mistake). . . sitting in front of the TV with my cousin, when he yelled out, "BETTE !!!!!!" i passed about 1/3rd of my sandwich up and out of both nostrils. 

[toothbrush55]

hahah

[Operalover12002]

This is incredibly funny! I keep laughing at what Martin Short talks about.

[eattom]

let me know when he starts being funny.

[dolphinluv2413]

Martin Short's voice sounds like a high pitched Dom Deluise.

[fahnke]

They were both funnier back then.

[xXDaRkEmOsKaTeRXx]

clifford!!

[kurumais]

i love how letterman cracks up whenever short does lewis

[Ecksntrick8]

He only cracked up when he said..Bette!

[kurumais]

@Ecksntrick8 yeah but ive seen short on lettermen a few times  and dave asks him to do lewis every time and he enjoys it immensely

[Ecksntrick8]

I've watched Letterman religiously since about '94. And I guess I don't watch Lettterman much when doing that impression. I'll assume he does. But, THIS time..Bette!

[jontibloom]

Martin Short - An American Treasure

[dougknoble]

He may hold US Citizenship, but his heritage is all Canadian.

[woahannablue]

He's a Canuck!

[futuristfood]

yes he is!

[Ravisante5000]

Cocky Nut Master????Hello!!!!!Too funny...

[meavid]

Oh people I must say let's have some luuuurve here okay? Wunderfuull.

[Ecksntrick8]

He told this exact same story in '05. Not word for word, but the same story. The Bette Davis story..it's fun to tell again I guess. I don't think he forgot.

[begun101]

im sure he did it purposely.. bette davis is a big person.. i guess thats why he decided to say it to a younger audiance

[Ecksntrick8]

Yes, probably. You misspelled audiece..but I'll bet.

[begun101]

you misspelled audience too..but who is checking for grammar problems? not me

[darkzenvoid505]

Thank you, I've been looking for this original for years! I saw it "live".

[JQXJQ]

He told the exact same story on Letterman again in 2005. The clip is even on YouTube.

[ZaeBo4]

What makes this man funny? I don't get it.

I saw that Carson show and Ms. Davis was looking at him like he was nuts!!!!

[begun101]

because ur probably 8 yrs old

[ZaeBo4]

It's because I'm NOT 8 years old.

Maybe that's why you have a hard-on for him.

[begun101]

you dont understand improv comedy or theatre comedy hes done good broadway shows..he came out on snl sctv and mad tv.. im not the only one that thinks hes funny... so theres plenty of us with hard dicks except you cock sucker.. faggot dont reply

[ZaeBo4]

You're a twenty-something. My advice to you is... Go out and get yourself laid. Doesn't take much effort. It will clear up your pimples. Get a life. Stop starting arguements with strangers on the internet.

[begun101]

i wouldnt need to argue if senseless idiots didnt make stupid comments... how about u try to get laid and stop worryimg about others.. thats his profession he gets paid for it and you dont.. rspect the arts and shut the fuck up .. narrow minded fuck... and ill keep getting laid why ur at home crying to me

[ZaeBo4]

LMAO!!! Talk about senseless comments.

What a fantasy world you live in. I hate to burst your bubble, but Martin Short doesn't know you exist.

[begun101]

what the fuck are you talking about? i met martin short in a film set for jiminy glick and i know his son very well he's making movies and im a screenwriter...youre just pissed that your not doing anything in life and no one cares about you..hahahahaah hahahahahaha shut the fuck up and dont reply

[ZaeBo4]

You're a screenwriter?!?!?! Why do I NOT believe that???

I must be doing something right with my life, you're the one going bat shit crazy....lol.

[begun101]

i go off on everyone here that disrespects another persons profession.. especially a comedian.. its not an easy 9 to 5 job.. reserve ur criticism . you dont find him funny look up someone else.. that simple

[ZaeBo4]

I stated my opinion. You tried to insult me by saying I'm 8 years old and proceeded to cuss me out. Then tell me not to rely. Only a lunatic does that.

I have to admit I went alittle too far telling you to get laid and I'm sorry, but you continue dialogue. Learn to respect others opinions before you open your big mouth.

Just a lesson on getting what you give.

[ZaeBo4]

And where does "Jiminy Glick" fall in AFI's list of best comedies of all time?

[Ecksntrick8]

That's impossible.

[begun101]

hhahaha since when is afi opinion ever matter? hahawhat a loser.. ur a square! afi?!?! gosh what a dweeb that was a good laugh.. you wouldnt understand movies let alone comedy u dont get it.. period..u dont know what it takes to be a performer... and i believe 3 amigos with martin short is in that stupid list... haha

you dont know squat about anything in entertainment... u wouldnt last here in los angeles.. AFI hahahahahaa

[Ecksntrick8]

I understand comedy, and movies more than most. I know more about entertainment that the average. Why the hell you started talking about AFI..I don't know. There's some pussies in L.A. too. I mean..look at YOU. Jealous of me much? Intimidation?

[begun101]

who the fuck are u... talking too?

[Ecksntrick8]

Not your pussying zdkjnxfkj.

[Ecksntrick8]

You're that pussy!

[Ecksntrick8]

Are you drunk?

[Ecksntrick8]

Not ME.

[sofunnyyo12]

omg martin short looked hot there

[rufusman2008]

Why can't Dave have an interview like this on his CBS show?... Have all the actors and actresses out there become so uptight and rigid that they can't be spoofed like this?... Dave's lost his edge and sold out...shame :(

[Ecksntrick8]

No way.;

[LutionStackridge]

BETTY!!!!!

hahahahaha!!!

[cattathat]

Martin Short is a Comic Genius you fool.

You need your comedy spoon fed to you.

Nuts. Yeah right... you guys can get to that level... try it. Jerkies.

[pt1gard]

you are right! this guy is comic under rated genius, love him, always have.

[TheIMC8]

Pussy talk?

[cattathat]

@TheIMC8

[cattathat]

@TheIMC8 Pussy talk? I don't think so Baby Jane! I love Betty Davis and i love Martin Short. Comedy is comedy.

Just take the bit for what it is. People get so defensive.

[je3rowe]

Haha! Funny!

[grandvizar]

a bit sensitive are we?

[TheIMC8]

Don't be so hard on yourself.

[koln1996]

He's a pathetic unfunny scummy dwarf!!!

[thewomaninthemoon]

What a jackass.That's kind of funny though.
