This is some new show that's coming on TV Land. On the commercial they showed a clip of Martin Short and he was sharing a story about a time he met Kate. Sounds interesting, I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for it.

OMG! Wasn't that a skit of his? When he was playing her nephew or some deranged fan or something? I thought it was on Saturday Night Live, but I'm not sure. I suppose someone else will be able to give a more definite answer. Yes! Finally a reason to start watching TVLand again!

Well, the part about Kate is done. His story was as follows:
He was in New York attending a play (I already forgot the name of it) and there was an empty seat next to him. During the overture he hears a familar voice and it, of course, belongs to Kath. He heard her say, in mixed sentences "Oh now hell, damn umbrella - move the - kay great. How can one see - IDIOT!" Aww bossy Kate. But I got peeved at what he said next.
"And I was sure not to say anything because I would become hyper and I knew she was ornery and just because Spencer could go off and get drunk doesn't mean she was going to take anything from me." Which, I suppose is true, but it was the tone of the voice and the way he said it. Like he was disgusted. Erg. I hope the public's opinion of Spence hasn't changed that much by all that's been in the news over the last few years, that they all think that he was a psycho. Geez people, like you don't have problems or faults. And it's not even true, so just shut up about it. America's #1 actor For life! Focus on that.
Anyway, it comes to the final act. The play ends with the actress bursting into a rage and ending up in a sobbing heap on the floor. Forgetting that Kath is who she is, he goes to her, "Oh my, wasn't she wonderful!" Then Katty goes into the usual song and dance about ST, "Yes she was good. But simplicity is key. Look at Spencer Tracy. Now there was an actor - simple, perfection..." (It's so cool how love lasts after your someone dies. My Nonnie talks about my Poppie as if he was still alive.) So, by this time he realizes who he was talking to (btw, his impersonation of her was quite good, indeed!) and he goes, "And you Ms. Hepburn are no slouch." Ahaha! So Kate just stares blankly at him, "Thanks" - looks over at the guy sitting on the other side of her and asks, "Do you mind changing seats?"
LOL, gotta love her.

I missed it!! How in the...? I swear. If I don't find out about three minutes before it takes place, I'm going to become distracted with something else and forget. Oh well. I can't believe how incredibly rude she seemed in his account of the story. It is Martin Short -- I mean, if it is true, can you blame her? ;D

Yeah, he was obnoxious like that the whole show. He even made Bette Davis out to be some sort of an idiot who couldn't even recognize her own impersonation. Kind of turned me off as a Martin Short fan.

Yeah that tone he took when talking about Katie didn't sit well with me either...who is he to talk? He's Martin Short, she's Katharine Hepburn for cripes sake!
I don't really know how Bette sounded in her later years, but I thought his impression of her was pretty funny, even though he made her seem like some old nut who was off her track. If you ask me, it seems like Short is getting a little too big for his britches!
