Martin Short is a Canadian comedian, actor, singer and writer known as an energetic performer who rose to prominence in sketch comedy. He was a member of the cast of SCTV and Saturday Night Live, and created the characters Jiminy Glick and Ed Grimley. His awards include two Primetime Emmy Awards, two Screen Actors Guild awards and a Tony Award, and he was made an officer of the Order of Canada in 2019.

How Martin Short makes his money
Television has been his base. Sketch work on SCTV and Saturday Night Live built his name, and his own series, including Mulaney, Maya & Marty and a part in The Morning Show, added steady pay. He also voiced the Cat in the Hat in a PBS Kids series from 2010 to 2013.
Film adds more. He starred in family comedies such as Father of the Bride and Clifford, and voice roles in major animated films like The Prince of Egypt earn well for relatively little time in the studio.
Live shows add another stream. He has toured nationally with Steve Martin since 2015, and stage work on Broadway in The Goodbye Girl and Little Me has brought both pay and awards. A comedian who can sell tickets and appear on screen has many ways to earn a good living.
