Another good get for Andrew Denton next week when he travels to the US to chat with Steve Martin and Martin Short for Interview.

Ahead of their November tour of Australia, Andrew travels to Milwaukee to sit down in the blue chairs with two absolute comedy legends, Steve Martin and Martin Short.

The long-time best friends, who met decades ago on The Three Amigos movie, now make a joyous living insulting each other on stage in their show, Now You See Them, Soon You Won’t, which also features songs, skits, childhood reminiscences and some virtuosic banjo playing.

In this rare long-form conversation, the pair discuss comedy, music and life, raking through their movie experiences and their friendship (two words: “colonoscopy parties”). They also play a Logie-worthy game show Andrew invents called Which Martin Is That?

“Steve Martin is one of my all-time comedy heroes,” Andrew says, “and Martin Short is pure joy on so many levels. It was a genuine career high point to talk to them.”

9.00pm Tuesday on Seven.

  1. Not so much a ” good get ” but a marketing plan for bums on seats. They need to sell $200 tickets for their November tour so Andrew Denton ticks the box , right ?
    Win / win .

  4. Considering 60 Minutes interviewed them a few weeks ago maybe this should have been fast tracked to have lead the series. Seems like Seven is burying this series. I hope Andrew will return to ABC where he could take up the 8pm Wednesday night shift when Anh finishes up.
