My Take
Andrea Martin is the kind of performer I instinctively root for. From her SCTV sketch comedy to Broadway stages and beloved film turns like the scene-stealing aunt in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, she has spent a career being the most memorable person in any room without ever demanding the spotlight. The Tony Award and Canada's Walk of Fame star confirm what audiences already feel: this is a craftsman with impeccable timing and enormous warmth. Comedians who stay this sharp and this generous well into their later years are rare, and I have boundless respect for that kind of staying power.
