In this week’s Sunday Sitdown, legendary comedic actors Steve Martin and Martin Short join Willie Geist to talk about their new Hulu series, “Only Murders in the Building,” where they play washed-up artists who turn to podcasting when a neighbor in their apartment building is found dead. The pair also discuss working with co-star Selena Gomez and how the generation gap actually works in their favor.

I am HOOKED on the show! The show is so good and different. It’s so refreshing how a crime drama can turn into something so fun and deep at the same time. Also, never thought that Selena Gomez would fit so well in the cast.

@@betterthanyourname2391 It’s okay to not have a bestie. Honestly, sometimes it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. It can be stressful and you can overthink things. It’s easy for me to get hurt and take things personally. All I want is for things to be back to “normal” which is never going to happen again. It’s a period of adjustment, and I miss my old friend. Sometimes she feels like an absolute stranger and I feel left out. I don’t think she means it, but some of the things she says are extremely hurtful m, and I don’t know if I can trust her even after almost 30 years of friendship. It takes a lot of work to navigate a relationship with kids and a busy life. I am thankful for her, but my mental health status can take a toll on me physically and emotionally sometimes, and it’s hard to put on a “positive face” all the time. I wish you the best. There are people that care, you just have to let them in. You can do that, I’m working on it slowly but surely, so if I can do it then you can do it too. I hope this helped a little bit internet stranger. If you ever want some other advice, or if you want to talk I am always walking to share my experiences if you’re interested and how I’ve overcome them.

a GREAT show!!! hilarious, witty, that "general eye roll" and the way they all crack jokes with one another is just hilarious in a witty intriguing, actually genuinely funny way. I mean, these 2 have always been funny. When I see them together I think of a father of the bride and "Fraonk" the wedding planner from Father of Bride. They just work so well together and with Selena Gomez in Only Murders in the Building, I am literally laughing out loud or "rewinding" 30 to 45 seconds at a time to laugh again at the hilarity and their facial expressions that feel like that kind of genuine funny that isn't really around all that much. worth every second of your time to watch!
