Martin Short Backlash Article & Impassioned Defense Explained

Martin Short is one of the most beloved comedy actors working today, and following a scathing critique of his work, tons of celebrities have come to the actor’s defense. Martin Short can be seen in Only Murders in the Building, where he plays Oliver Putnam, an eccentric theater director and one-third of a podcast group that attempts to solve murders, all of which happen in their apartment building. The show is wonderfully goofy, rich with detail, and has a unique spin on the murder mystery genre, but it’s Short’s chemistry with Selena Gomez and longtime collaborator Steve Martin that has made the show a hit.
