Comic Receives Mark Twain Prize And a Gentle Ribbing From Friends

...(Martin) Short, a frequent presenter at Twain award ceremonies, was asked if he might someday be in line for a Twain Prize himself. "I'm too Canadian," he demurred. "But I could win a Gordon Lightfoot Award."

Or,he could win the bryan Adams in his 60's award! :biggrin:

I'll have to tune into that awards show when it's broadcast on PBS. i watched last year when Steve Martin won,fu-u-u-u-ny!

Steve:"Mark Twain said before he died,"Please..do not name an award after me!" LOL!

I think that, in his own way, he's a funny guy. He also seems to have a little touch of Steve Martin to him as well. As for him being "too Canadian" I say "So? You're funny, that's all that really matters."
