Steve Martin, Martin Short remember Norm Macdonald: 'There was no one more original'

Steve Martin and Martin Short have been hilariously ribbing each other for years, but they took a moment at the end of their appearance on Wednesday's "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" to genuinely compliment the late Norm Macdonald.

"I really think that in comedy particularly, the originals stand out the most, and they stay with us long after they're gone," Short said. "And there was no one more original than Norm Macdonald. There was no one who did his style. There was no one who had his rhythms. He was remarkable, and so kind and funny."

Martin added: "In our show, we do a tribute to comedians. And I'm serious about this. We name different comedians, like Bob Newhart and people. And we do a tribute to Norm Macdonald, and we use one of his lines. We say — and this is one of his lines, he said, 'There's only two categories of cliff-diving: grand champion and stuff on a rock.'"
