Comedian Steve Martin pokes fun at the COVID-19 outbreak after his recent 50th anniversary special of Saturday Night Live (SNL). The actor, who hosted the show’s opening monologue on Sunday, shared a photo of himself and costar Martin Short getting together with friend Maya Rudolph. In the caption, he joked about the “SNL 50th Covid curse,” stating that both he and Short contracted COVID-19 despite attending the event. As a result, they had to reschedule two upcoming comedy tour dates due to illness. Martin’s witty remark highlights the challenges of performing live during the pandemic era.
