One of Canada's national treasures - comedian Martin Short - is returning to the small screen to inhabit a role on the popular CBS Sitcom "How I Met Your Mother".
Short - the star of big-budget screen features such as 3 Amigos (who has also taken on the challenge of demanding dramatic roles in "Damages" and "Law & Order") - has been cast to play the "boss" of one of the regular characters on the ratings-getter in a storyline expected to stretch out over several episodes.
The zany comic has skillfully played a myriad of off-beat (wild!) characters over the years - my favorite being - nutso talk-show interviewer Jiminy Glick (who was featured in Comedy Central's Primetime Glick).
Glick's one-on-one gab-fests with real-life celebrities such as - Bill Maher, David Hasselhoff, Goldie Hawn, Jimmy Fallon, Jon Stewart, David Schwimmer, Gene Simmons (Kiss), and Brian Williams - were a real hoot!
The charismatic star has also won numerous awards, including one for a stage performance in "Little Me" (which earned him a Tony Award).
Martin - break a leg - eh?
