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."
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."
