Only Murders In The Building To End After Season 5? Martin Short Reacts
Martin Short shared his thoughts about the future of Only Murders In The Building and hinted that season five could possibly be the last. Only Murders in the Building has become one of the most popular comedy mystery shows, running successfully for four seasons. Created by Steve Martin and John Hoffman, the series follows three neighbours, played by Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez, who unexpectedly team up to solve murders happening inside their New York City apartment building. Recently, Martin Short shared his thoughts about the future of the show. While he didn't confirm an ending, Martin Short hinted that season five could possibly be the last. He also pointed out that streaming shows often do not go on for very long compared to traditional television. The Future Of Only Murders In The Building Speaking with Variety, the actor said, 'I think that the reality is, you know, when it feels like it's past its time. I think everyone's amazed that it's gone this long. This is a long time in streaming to go five years. 'The Dick Van Dyke Show' ended after five years, because one of the reasons was that they were afraid of losing the quality of it. But then, 'Friends' went how long, and they were always brilliant." Martin Short shared how proud he feels to be part of Only Murders in the Building. He shared that the show stands out because of its strong writing, direction and overall quality, which makes its success even more special. At this stage in his career, he finds it rare to be involved in a project that not only receives recognition and award nominations but also gives him genuine personal satisfaction. Martin Short is also deeply proud of 'the reputation Only Murders in the Building has in New York. It is a very loose set, and one of the reasons is that Steve and Selena and I all work the exact same way, screwing around, getting the crew to laugh. Everyone is laughing, and… action. Oh, a screw up, laughing. That kind of joie de vivre is what permeates the set, and I think that translates a little bit to the camera as well." While Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez plays lead roles in Only Murders in the Building, the show also had several special guest stars, such as Meryl Streep, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Richard Kind, Nathan Lane, Bobby Cannavale, Renée Zellweger, Logan Lerman, Christoph Waltz, Téa Leoni, Keegan-Michael Key, Beanie Feldstein, Dianne Wiest and Jermaine Fowler.

Dick Van Dyke, 99, skips out on comedy event due to illness
Dick Van Dyke missed a comedy event Saturday due to an undisclosed illness. The 99-year-old actor was set to host Vandy Camp at Malibu High School, but never showed. His wife, Arlene Silver, hosted alone instead. She told the crowd she was "not the Van Dyke you're expecting," according to People magazine. "I have to inform you that Dick is not up to coming to celebrate with us today. I'm sorry." "When you're 99 and a half years old, you have good days and bad days ... and unfortunately, today is not a good day for him, and he's sick that he can't be here," she continued. Van Dyke attended the comedy event via a live stream and Silver promised fans the comedian would be at the next Vandy Camp "in person." Vandy Camp featured multiple performances, games and a Q and A session. Silver also spoke about Van Dyke's love of the fundraising event, telling the audience it's about more than "just Dick Van Dyke." "It is a celebration of your childhood, all of our childhoods, the music that's in the fabric of all of us, [and] Dick Van Dyke is a big part of that," she continued. Fox News Digital reached out to a representative for the actor. Van Dyke celebrated his 99th birthday in December. The "Dick Van Dyke Show" star opened up about his age while appearing in Coldplay's music video for the song "All My Love." "I'm acutely aware that I could go any day now, but I don't know why, it doesn't concern me, I'm not afraid of it," Van Dyke said in the video. "I have that feeling, totally against anything intellectual, that I'm going to be alright." "I think I'm one of those lucky people who got to do for a living what I would have done anyway," he added. "When you think how lucky I am — I got to do what I do, play and act silly." In September, Van Dyke opened up about how he'd like to be remembered following his Creative Arts Emmy win. "For laughter," he said while holding his trophy for outstanding variety special for "Dick Van Dyke 98 Years of Magic," per People magazine. "I hope for making people laugh for 75 years."

The Emmy Award winner has purchased the gold-painted "M" that adorned Mary Richards' apartment wall on The Mary Tyler Moore Show. The sale took place on Wednesday, June 4, at Doyle's "The Collection of Mary Tyler Moore" auction. The humble prop was the highlight of the auction, receiving a ton of interest due to its prominence in the background of a beloved sitcom, which aired from 1970 to 1977. Original estimates had the piece going for anywhere from $5,000 to 8,000. The piece far exceeded expectations, opening at $14,000 and ultimately selling for a stunning $35,200. In a statement about the sale, Waithe shares, "I will cherish this piece of television history for the rest of my life. I feel honored to have custody of it until it's time to pass it along to someone else."

Other Mary Tyler Moore items garnered impressive sales. A colorful portrait of Moore by Peter Max sold for $15,360. Original Al Hirschfeld drawings capturing Moore's roles in The Dick Van Dyke Show ($6,080) and The Mary Tyler Moore Show ($7,680) also exceeded expectations. Moore began leading The Mary Tyler Moore Show in 1970, not long after her starring role on The Dick Van Dyke Show. The show was produced by her company, MTM Enterprises, which was behind many successful TV series. Her TV alter ego, Mary Richards, was not that different from the real Moore, the late actress once told PEOPLE in 1974. 'I never went the actors' studio route. I'm not an actress who can create a character. I play me. I'm scared that if I tamper with it I might ruin it,' she shared, noting her single girl character happened, in part, because she didn't want to play married again, and CBS didn't want her character to be divorced. She ended up with eight Emmy nominations and four wins for her work on the series. Read the original article on People
