In a resurfaced interview from The Howard Stern Show, the Father of the Bride actor reflected on another one of his legendary roles — as one of the amigos in the cult classic film, Three Amigos.

In the clip, Stern asks Martin, “I don’t know if this is true ... that was made for (John) Belushi and (Dan) Aykroyd to be in with you?”
The Saturday Night Live alumni connections make total sense — Three Amigos was, after all, co-written by Martin, Lorne Michaels, and Randy Newman, with the kind of quirky humor that defined that era of comedy. Imagining Belushi and Candy as part of the trio definitely paints an intriguing “what if” picture for fans of the golden age of ‘80s comedy.
Stern interjected with praise for Short: “He’s a genius.”
It’s a comment that hits even harder today, as Martin and Short continue their decades-long friendship and comedic partnership — from Father of the Bride to their hit Hulu series Only Murders in the Building, which they currently star in alongside Selena Gomez.
Fans React to the “What If” Casting
Fans on TikTok flooded the comments of the resurfaced interview, equally nostalgic and curious about how different Three Amigos could have been with a slightly different cast.
Still, most fans couldn’t imagine anyone but the trio we know and love. “All those other guys are great, but the 3 of them were perfect for that movie,” one commenter declared. Another wrote, “Best movie EVER!”
And as one fan hilariously summed up the online consensus: “Remember that guy who said Martin Short isn’t funny? Yeah, neither do I."
