Live’s” recent 50th anniversary special had some unfunny consequences, according to Steve Martin. The comedic actor – who delivered the special’s opening monologue on Sunday – posted a photo on his verified social media on Thursday showing his “Only Murders in the Building” costar and friend Martin Short sharing a friendly smooch with former “SNL” cast member Maya Rudolph at the event.

Steve Martin took to social media to joke about the "SNL50" COVID "curse," which infected both Maya Rudolph and Martin Short.

"Maya [Ruldolph] had Covid. Marty [Short] has Covid. I wonder why? The SNL 50th COVID curse is real," actor and comedian Steve Martin says.
