The ‘Only Murders in the Building’ star deserves recognition for being the funniest man currently on television.
Since 2021,Only Murders in the Buildinghas been one of the most hilarious comedies on television.
As Oliver Putnam, Martin Short steals every scene hes in.
Martin Short dominates the screen in a third-season episode of Hulu’sOnly Murders in the Building.
At the 2025 Golden Globes, Jeremy Allen White earned his third Golden Globe for playing Carmy inThe Bear.
Look, Jeremy Allen White is fantastic, and he deserves the praise he gets.
To be fair,The Bearis quite comedic.
But comparingThe BeartoOnly Murders in the Buildingis like comparing seven fishes to various flavors of dip.
Theyre barely in the same category.
After all, the Golden Globes historically seem to prefer a healthy dose of drama with their comedy.
If you watched the Golden Globes, then you heard the ever-gracious Martin Short audibly exclaiming “yes!” while he claps for his fellow nominee’s victory.
But what more tragedy can poor Oliver go through that he hasnt already?
So heres the dilemma.
But making Oliver more serious could feel like a disservice to one of the funniest characters on TV.
So what is there to do?
Martin Short shouldnt change a thing.
Hes perfect as he is.
Instead, the Golden Globes should start recognizing great comedians being hilarious.
