Steve Martin and Martin Short - who have been friends for nearly four decades - are on the hit TV show Only Murders In The Building.
On Tuesday morning they were both nominated for Emmys in the Lead Actor in a Comedy Series category (sadly their costar Selena Gomez was shut out even though the show got a total of 14 nods).
Now the Hollywood veterans have told in their cover story that they are very happy with the attention: 'I don't think you ever really expect it, so it's a nice surprise when it happens,' said Martin. 'I am thrilled to be in an undeniable hit show—and to be working with my friend that I would hang out with anyway.'

Only Murders in the Building has been renewed for a third season. 
Martin, 76 and Short, 72, first first met when they were starring in the 1986 comedy The Three Amigos and told People that is where they, along with co-star Chevy Chase, манхва became fast friends. 
'We were on the set of The Three Amigos,' recalls Martin, 'and he (Short) did something, and I just had this feeling like, "That." 
'As a comedian, you appreciate people who are funny, and he just had it.'











14 nominations:  Only Murders in the Building received 14 Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Casting For A Comedy Series

They teamed up for a comedy tour in 2015 which culminated in the 2018 Netflix special, An Evening You Will Forget For The Rest Of Your Life. The special garnered three Emmy nominations.
'We'll probably do our live show until we drop,' quips Martin.
They key to their long friendship seems to be laughter. 
'Sometimes, I'll hang out with Marty and I'll realize I haven't laughed that hard in two months. And that just feels great,' claims the It's Complicated star.
