During the show’s opening, Short was feted by his fellow members of the five-legged club, including Tom Hanks, Paul Rudd, Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, Kristen Wiig, Scarlett Johansson, Emma Stone, Melissa McCarthy, John Mulaney and Jimmy Fallon.
After each star celebrated Short – and made various jokes – Fallon (50) appeared and introduced Just the murders in the building star with a token to celebrate your latest achievement.
“I want to present to you the official five-point club jacket, exactly in your size, women’s small,” the late-night host teased him.
