Steve Martin and Martin Short:

Their monologue was a five-star roast. Why wait for the memorial service to eulogize your best friend? Do it to his face! They wanted sad music from the band, no mere dirge would do. The occasion called for “donate now to abused shelter animals” music. So, with a mournful pup as the backdrop, they traded off goodbyes. This round goes to Short, who torched rather than roasted. “Oh Steve, you bland, overrated white-haired son of a bitch, where’d you go? I know Steve is looking down on us right now because he always looked down on everybody.” And then later, “Seeing you in that casket reminds me of that classic SNL sketch, dick in a box.”
