Martin Short celebrated his fifth time hosting<\/a> Saturday Night Live<\/em><\/a> <\/em>with a monologue brimming with musical holiday cheer.<\/p>\n The Only Murders in the Building<\/em><\/a> <\/em>star kicked things off with a conventional monologue, roasting everything from Cybertrucks<\/a> to his co-star Steve Martin<\/a>. <\/p>\n “He would have been here tonight, but he had a conflict with me not wanting him to be here,” Short said. “And besides, it’s rehearsal week for The Masked Singer<\/em>.”<\/p>\n But when SNL<\/em>‘s cast members beg Short to cure their holiday anxieties, the host is all too happy to oblige \u2014 in song, of course. He bursts into a parody of “We Need a Little Christmas,” telling the audience they “need a new prescription” to get through the holiday season.<\/p>\n Come for Short’s boundless energy and singing, stay for him throwing a child off of Santa’s lap and roasting Lorne Michaels. (“You smell wonderful, I didn’t know Jack Daniels made cologne.”) Plus, after a week of fighting with Jimmy Fallon<\/a>, the pair reconcile with a passionate makeout session. It’s a Christmas miracle!<\/p>\n Belen Edwards is an Entertainment Reporter at Mashable.
