Watch: Amy Schumer Majorly Hints at Martin Short and Meryl Streep Romance

Mamma mia, Amy Schumer has some tea on Meryl Streep and Martin Short

Amid rumors the Only Murders in the Building costars may very well be dating, the comedian shared her POV after sitting next to the duo at SNL 50: The Homecoming Concert Feb. 15.

"There’s really no one funnier to sit next to than Marty Short,” Schumer told People. “I think that the tea is, I think Marty might be off the market. That’s what I’m seeing. I don’t know.”

And while she didn't name names, it's not big little lie she was hinting at Streep, as she teased, he could be taken by “by just, like, the greatest actor of our time. I don’t know.”

So, what we do know? Well, while his rep denied romance rumors last January—telling E! News “they are just very good friends, nothing more”—the pair have only caused fans to think otherwise about their relationship.

That’s because in August they were seen holding hands at an after-party for their Hulu show’s season four premiere. And, days later, he detailed what it was like working with his longtime friend. “It’s been a friendship that always grows,” the 74-year-old told Extra at the time, “if you work with someone and love that person.”

The following month, at the 2024 Emmys, continued to fuel rumors as they sat side-by-side. Then came a cozy dinner at Santa Monica’s Giorgio Baldi followed by their SNL 50: Homecoming Concert outing, which Schumer detailed.

The 75-year-old even gives makes him nervous in that butterflies-in-your-stomach type of way. (Ok, maybe that's dramatic.)

“The first day of shooting with her,” he recalled E! News in September, “I was going to work, and—you know, I'm not new to show business—and I thought, ‘I am nervous today. Why? Oh yeah, I'm working with Meryl.’”

The feeling is mutual for Streep, who Short called "the greatest actress of them all."

“We finished a two-person scene at a piano, and they have to set up for angle,” he continued, “and we went into a holding area, and she said, 'Okay, my nerves are to half.'"
