Martin Short, celebrated for his quick humor, has previously displayed his *roasting skills* on [SNL](https://mashable.com/category/snl). In his newest promo, he introduces an element of drama.

Joined by musical guest Hozier and cast member Kenan Thompson, Short quips that all he desires for Christmas is “a better script than this,” before making a dramatic exit from the scene.

With this spirited vibe, the concluding *SNL* episode of 2024 is set to be an unforgettable experience.
