Only Murders in the Building returns next week on Hulu, and the premiere was yesterday in Los Angeles. The central trio of Steven Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez were there, joined by Meryl Streep, Jane Lynch, and Da’Vine Joy Randolph, as well as new season stars Zach Galifianakis, Kumail Nanjiani (along with his wife, Emily V. Gordon), and Molly Shannon. I really like these photos because co-stars actually dressed like they’re attending the same event for once.
I also like these photos for our favorite game, photo assumption. Martin Short and Meryl Streep were having fun at the premiere. They’re friends! They insist on it through their publicists! Martin Short is interviewed in The Hollywood Reporter and reiterates once again that they are just friends! Also, read that interview for the Billy Crystal joke at the end. Martin Short never misses.
But they’re on the green carpet mugging like they KNOW what we’re all thinking, and they’re daring us to keep thinking it. And we will! Because it’s adorable and it would be very romantic and sweet if they DID start dating! Photo assumption time, Marty and Meryl edition: friends or more? Let's Squawk about it. (app link here)
