TRIVIA:
- Owns a luxury vacation home in the affluent Ontario area of Muskoka, along with friends 'Tom Hanks' (qv) and 'Rita Wilson (I)' (qv), 'Kurt Russell (I)' (qv) and 'Goldie Hawn' (qv), and 'Steven Spielberg' (qv) and 'Kate Capshaw' (qv).
- Uncle to 'Bob Dolman (I)' (qv)'s and 'Andrea Martin (I)' (qv)'s two sons, Jack (born 1981) and Joe (born 1983).
- Has three children: Katherine Elizabeth (born December 3rd, 1983), Oliver Patrick (born 1986) and Henry (born 1990)
- Was nominated for the 2007 Tony Award for supporting or featured actor in a musical for Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me.
- Son Oliver Patrick Short currently attends The University of Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business for marketing and film, television and theatre. He is an aspiring director/producer.
- Daughter Katherine Elizabeth Short currently attends New York University. She was chosen in 2003 to serve as Queen Shenandoah LXXVI for the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival in Winchester, Virginia. She is an aspiring actress.
- Short is the youngest of five children. In addition to his two aforementioned brothers, the late David Short and Emmy winning television writer 'Michael Short (I)' (qv), Short has an older brother Brian, vice president of Dover Industries in Canada, and an older sister Nora, an anesthesiologist.
- He was 'Mel Brooks' (qv)'s first choice to star opposite 'Nathan Lane (I)' (qv) as Leo Bloom in his Broadway version of The Producers. In 2000, Short was hosting his short-lived talk show, _"The Martin Short Show" (1999)_ (qv), and Brooks and Lane appeared as guests on the same episode - during which, sitting between Lane and Short, Brooks pulled out the contract for The Producers, wanting them both to sign it right there. This was met with gales of surprised and flattered laughter from the two actors. Having professional obligations on the West Coast due to the talk show, as well as family obligations (he had three children enrolled in school in the Los Angeles area at the time) Short had to decline, and was visibly guilty as he told Brooks he couldn't sign at that moment and would consider the offer later. Lane helped the situation by doing the same. While Lane later accepted, Short declined and 'Matthew Broderick (I)' (qv) took his place (earning a Tony Award nomination). Short wound up enjoying a successful run opposite 'Jason Alexander (I)' (qv) in the Los Angeles production of The Producers in 2003.
