The Show Formerly Known as Martin Short Show aired in 1995. This is a show similar to SNL with various bits. Martin Short is hilarious as is his cast which includes Phil Hartman, Jan Hooks, Joe Flaherty, Harry Shearer, and others.

I find this one of the best "lost" pieces of TV comedy gold. Enjoy all 11 parts and like your favorite.
