Steve Martin & Martin Short Audition for Brandi Carlile in ‘SNL’ Tease: ‘Double the Hosts, But Triple the Threats’

Steve Martin & Martin Short audition for BrandiCarlile in a new SNL teaser

. “You know, Brandi, if you’re looking for some backup singers, we’re actually pretty good,” Martin promised before he and hisRelatedCarlile’s reaction? “I’m good,” she politely asserts before rolling her eyes and walking off camera.

In the next bit, Strong quips, “Wow, double the hosts,” and Short replies, “Ah, but triple the threats!” and Martin jumps in to explain, “Because Marty here can sing, act and dance!” “And Steve currently has flu, RSV and COVID,” Short fires off without missing a beat. “That’s right, they call it an EGOT,” his five-time Grammy-winning pal adds, though it’s actually Strong who gets the last punchline as she jokes, “As in, ‘e got ’em all!”

The episode, which airs Saturday on NBC, will mark Martin’s 16th time hosting the late-night sketch show and Short’s fourth — though the latter also worked as a cast member on the series for a single season back in the mid-’80s.Get weekly rundowns straight to your inbox
