I, Martin Short, Goes Home is a Canadian television comedy special, written by and starring comedian Martin Short, which aired on CBC Television in 2012.[1] The title is a sequel of sorts to Short's 1989 HBO comedy special, I, Martin Short, Goes Hollywood.
The 2012 special blends aspects of both autobiography and fiction, depicting a scripted mockumentary plot in which Short returns to his hometown of Hamilton, Ontario to appear at a benefit show for his childhood hero, puppeteer Mason McGillivray (Fred Willard),[1] and uses the occasion to reminisce about his pre-stardom life in the city. In addition to himself, Short plays a number of other characters, including his SCTV and Saturday Night Live characters Irving Cohen,[2] Bradley Allen and Ed Grimley.
