The actor won Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series for "Only Murders in the Building." Who could have predicted that Lorne Michaels assembling a rag-tag group of comedians for a little sketch comedy program in 1975 would eventually result in Martin Short being unable to accept his first SAG award?

Laughter wasn’t the only thing that was contagious during SNL50 on Sunday night. Steve Martin confirmed that both Martin Short and Maya Rudolph caught Covid during the anniversary show, which aired on NBC and Peacock.

"Maya [Rudolph] had Covid. Marty has Covid. I wonder why?," the comedian said while sharing a photo of Short and Rudolph embracing and sharing a kiss.

Martin Short has won his first SAG Award at 74 years old for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series.

The 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards was full of Hollywood A-listers, but some were noticeably absent. When Joey King and Jack Quaid called out Martin Short ’s name when announcing the winner of Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series, the duo began looking for the Only Murders in the Building star in the crowd.

Steve Martin took to social media to joke about the "SNL50" COVID "curse," which infected both Maya Rudolph and Martin Short.

While the actor picked up a statue for 'Only Murders in the Building,' he was not in the building to accept it.
