During a speech at the Emmy Awards in Los Angeles on Monday, Martin Short delivered a barb aimed at former President Trump for taking classified documents to his Mar-a-Lago residence.
Appearing onstage to present the award in the best variety talk series category, Short said: “Really, what an audience you are. I wish I could box you up and take you home, like classified White House documents,” Short quipped to laughs from the audience at the 74th annual awards show.
