Only Murders in the Building has been a delightful success on Hulu thanks to the chemistry between its all-star cast of Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. The trio worked so well that, at one point, there was talk of getting them to host the Oscars together. While Martin and Short’s comedic relationship stretches back decades, Gomez is obviously a new addition to their duo. But according to a new interview with Short, her comedic timing was scorching right out of the gate.
While talking to Deadline, Short opened up about the moment that Gomez joined the cast of Only Murders, and what it was like bringing in a much younger star. (Spoiler alert: She burned him good.)
