The recent episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” gave fans a delightful surprise as Selena Gomez joined her “Only Murders in the Building” co-star, Martin Short, who was filling in as the guest host. Their 13-minute interview offered a heartwarming glimpse into their charming cross-generational friendship, filled with laughter, admiration, and even a mini makeover.

The conversation covered a wide range of topics, from the potential reboot of “Wizards of Waverly Place” to a hilarious behind-the-scenes story involving Molly Shannon and Meryl Streep during the filming of “Only Murders in the Building” season four. Yes, Shannon really did fart in Streep’s face!

One of the standout moments was when Martin Short reminisced about his first meeting with Selena Gomez. He admitted that he initially feared she might be difficult to work with due to her early fame and massive social media following. However, those fears quickly dissipated, as he was “already in love” with her from their first hello, calling her “the biggest pro” he had ever worked with.

In response, Gomez revealed her own nervousness about working alongside icons like Martin Short and Steve Martin. She shared a touching story about mustering the courage to ask if she could sit with them during a break to feel less lonely. “Ever since then, my chair has always been in the middle of theirs,” she said, highlighting the bond they’ve developed.

The interview took an adorable turn when Gomez gave Short a contouring session using her Rare Beauty makeup line. Watching Gomez giggle as she instructed Short to make a “kissy face” was an absolute delight for viewers.

Fans couldn’t help but gush over the interview, expressing their admiration and love for the sweet interaction between Gomez and Short.

“This was unbelievably sweet,” one fan commented.

“One of the best things about this show is that Selena’s involvement has introduced so many young people to the genius of Steve Martin and Marty Short and given them this huge late-career revival,” another pointed out.

“Idk what it is, but this interview was just so…pleasant. Like it was thoroughly enjoyable and it went by so quickly,” shared another viewer.

“The bond between her and Steve/Martin is real,” someone observed, while another added, “Martin making her laugh constantly makes me happy. Everybody deserves a good laugh.”

The overall sentiment was that this interview was one of the most heartwarming interactions between a host and guest ever seen on a talk show. One particularly poignant comment encapsulated the essence of their friendship:

“This friendship of theirs is profound and adorable, and proof that it doesn’t matter what our differences are, we can all be better to each other, and for each other. Age is just a number, and it shouldn’t be a cause for societal separation. People like to call this strange crew weird, and it’s great for jokes, but there’s nothing weird about mutual admiration, love, and respect. We would all be much better off with more of those things in our lives.”

Selena Gomez and Martin Short’s interaction on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” not only entertained viewers but also showcased the genuine affection and respect they have for each other. Their friendship, transcending age and background, serves as a reminder of the positive impact that such relationships can have.
