Martin Short seen in first public outing since daughter Katherine’s sudden death

Martin Short wore a serious expression while stepping out in Santa Monica — his first public outing since his daughter Katherine’s sudden death.
The “Only Murders in the Building” star wore what appeared to be a black blazer over a blue button down shirt while having dinner with longtime pal J.J. Abrams in the beach city on Friday evening. Short opted to go without a tie, and was clean shaven.
Short, 76, appeared somber while stepping into a vehicle with the “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” director, as the pair appeared to chat during the outing.
The outing comes amid a difficult year. Martin’s only daughter, Katherine Short, died on Feb. 24 at the age of 42 of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, according to a death certificate released by the Los Angeles County Dept of Public Health, per TMZ.
“It is with profound grief that we confirm the passing of Katherine Hartley Short,” a rep for the comedian told Page Six last month.
“The Short family is devastated by this loss, and asks for privacy at this time,” the statement continued. “Katherine was beloved by all and will be remembered for the light and joy she brought into the world.”
Martin has since opted to take some time off, with the actor postponing two shows that were previously scheduled with Steve Martin.
“Due to unforeseen circumstances, Steve Martin & Martin Short’s show, originally scheduled for Friday, February 27th in Milwaukee, has been postponed,” the Pabst Theater Group wrote on its website Tuesday, noting that tickets would “be honored for a future rescheduled date.”
The comedic pair also rescheduled a show on Feb. 28 show in Minneapolis.
Katherine — whom Martin shared with his late wife, Nancy Dolan, along with two grown sons — had shared details of her struggles with mental health, divulging in a since-deleted professional website that she’d adopted a service dog.
“Joni is my incredible service dog, who has been assisting me with my own struggles with mental illness for the past 5 years,” Katherine wrote alongside a photo of the dog, who was named after Joni Mitchell.
“Joni will often be in the office with me, cuddled up on her bed,” the clinical social worker wrote. “She is an absolute sweetheart and just LOVES people, so don’t be surprised if she greets you with a smile, a wagging tail…and maybe even a kiss.”
Following Katherine’s death, Short had the support of Hollywood behind him — at the Oscars on March 15th, the show’s host, Conan O’Brien honored the iconic actor while closing out the broadcast.
“We love you, Martin Short! Good night!” O’Brien said.

‘RHOSLC’ star Mary Cosby questioned by police about son’s alleged violence weeks before his death: report

Mary Cosby was questioned by authorities about her son Robert Cosby Jr.’s alleged domestic violence incident just weeks before his death.
According to TMZ, a Salt Lake City Police report showed that the “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star spoke with the police on Jan. 9, 2026, about Robert Jr. and his ex-wife Alexiana Smokoff’s relationship.
The reality star told officers she didn’t see her late son and his wife fight much. Cosby acknowledged that the pair got into verbal arguments, but said she was not privy to any physical interactions.
Authorities say the Church leader denied her son was violent and shared that she did not raise him that way.
Cosby claimed she did not see any injuries on either party while they were under her roof. However, one time Robert Jr. and another person jumped off a balcony while high.
However, Smokoff had called law enforcement on Nov. 23, 2025, to report an alleged domestic violence incident with Robert Jr. that occurred in May 2024.
Smokoff claimed that Robert Jr., who was incarcerated at the time of the report, became enraged after she threw his drugs in the toilet six months earlier “because she was tired of his drug use.”
According to the court documents, the incident allegedly took place at Cosby’s Utah home.
Per the outlet, Police also spoke with Robert Jr. while he was behind bars. He admitted to being on fentanyl at the time of the alleged 2024 incident and did not remember everything.
Robert Jr. also told police that he did confess to his mom that he was physical with his then-wife. He said he thought he was in “psychosis” for a while because he was “acting erratic and irrational.”
Smokoff filed for divorce in November 2025 following three years of marriage. The exes secretly tied the knot at a Utah courthouse in August 2022.
The divorce was finalized in January.
In the the weeks leading up to Robert Jr.’s tragic death, the young adult was charged with domestic violence and had a warrant out for his arrest.
Robert Jr. previously spent two months behind bars for violating a pretrial protective order against Smokoff.
As part of his Feb. 3 release, he was ordered to complete 75 hours of community service and complete substance abuse and anger management classes during his 24 months of probation.
The 23-year-old, who had been open about his drug issues on the Bravo reality show, was then charged with felony aggravated assault and felony assault on Feb. 5, just two days after he was let out.
Robert Jr. was found dead on Feb. 23 after officers “responded to an overdose call that turned into a death investigation.”

Zohran Mamdani was pitched to SNL, but they passed for someone funny

Mayor Zohran Mamdani almost made it onto New York’s most famed sketch show where the notably inexperienced politician could have shown off his improv skills somewhere other than City Hall.
Sources tell Page Six that Mamdani’s camp pitched him to appear on “Saturday Night Live,” during his campaign. But one source tells us that head honcho Lorne Michaels didn’t bite.
“Mamdani was pitched, but ultimately for creative reasons, they went with comedians instead,” a source tells Page Six.
Ramy Youssef ultimately wound up playing the democratic socialist in a sketch on Nov. 1, 2025 about the NYC mayoral debate. It also featured Miles Teller as former NY Governor Andrew Cuomo and comic Shane Gillis as Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa.
Mamdani then posted clips and video of himself laughing with Yussef about the uncanny resemblance on a FaceTime while the comic was still in costume.
“Live from New York’ I got roasted by,” Mamdani posted on his social media.
“There were conversations about having Sliwa, Cuomo and Mamdani on, not necessarily together,” says a source. “There are always conversations about having anyone who is in the news on.”
Michaels’ door still seems open for a real-life, off-air cameo.
A source close to the SNL big told us that “Lorne is happy to meet with Mayor Mamdani.”
We hear Mamdani has not been pitched since he was elected, though his team could try and float him for musical guest. His 2010’s era rap career as Mr. Cardamom never panned out, with songs including one where he praised convicted terror-funding group the Holy Land Five.
Longtime NYC mayor Ed Koch hosted the show in 1983 and co-hosted again in May 1984. Rudy Giuliani hosted in November 1997 and appeared following the attacks on 9/11.
Donald Trump has also hosted the show twice. Once at the height of “The Apprentice” in 2004 and again in November 2015 when he was running for his first term as president.
We hear the days of having politicians pop up for cameos — like Kamala Harris showing up while being impersonated by Maya Rudolph or Hillary Clinton with Kate McKinnon — could now be more difficult due to a new FCC Equal Time Rule, which requires broadcast stations to give equal opportunities to candidates for the same office.
The rule was put into place Jan. 21, 2026, after Mamdani was elected into office in November.
An SNL spokesperson declined to comment on guestbooking. Mamdani’s spokesperson did not get back to us.

Savannah Guthrie vows not to ‘fall apart’ for kids’ sake amid mom Nancy’s disappearance

Savannah Guthrie promised not to “fall apart” for the sake of her two children during her “Today” show interview on the disappearance of mom Nancy Guthrie.
“I will do it for my kids,” the journalist told Hoda Kotb during the emotional sitdown Friday, referencing daughter Vale, 11, and son Charles, 9.
Savannah, who shares the little ones with husband Michael Feldman, added, “I will not let whoever did this take my children’s mom away.”
The 54-year-old went on to say Nancy modeled the same strength when Savannah’s dad, Charles, died when the NBC personality was a teenager.
“She taught me,” Savannah explained. “I saw her grief, I saw her world shatter — but I saw her get up, saw her love, saw her faith.
“She taught all of us,” the “crushed” and “heartbroken” former attorney continued, referencing brother Camron Guthrie and sister Annie Guthrie. “I may not do it as well as her, but will do it.”
Savannah’s conversation with Kotb comes nearly two months after her 84-year-old mom was kidnapped from her Arizona home on Jan. 31.
The TV personality, who discussed her April 6 “Today” show return elsewhere in the interview, sobbed while sharing how she was in “agony” over Nancy’s disappearance in the portion that aired Thursday.
“I wake up every night in the middle of the night, every night, and in the darkness, I imagine her terror, and it is unthinkable,” Savannah said. “But those thoughts demand to be thought, and I will not hide my face.”
She learned on Feb. 1 that Nancy was missing when she received a call from Annie.
“I said, ‘Is everything OK?’ And she said, ‘No.’ She said, ‘Mom’s missing,’” Savannah recalled. “And I said, ‘What? What are you talking about?’ She said, ‘She’s gone.’”
The NBC personality explained that she and Annie thought their mom may have had “some kind of medical episode in the night,” describing how the “back doors were propped open.”
However, the matriarch’s cell phone and purse remained in the home.
Savannah, additionally, called out the “cruel” allegations that her family was involved in Nancy’s disappearance.
She will “never understand” the speculation, adding that it “piles pain upon pain” as she fiercely defended Camron and Annie’s husband, Tommaso Cioni.
Nancy was reported missing after she didn’t attend church service on Feb. 1.
Surveillance footage of a masked and armed person outside of Nancy’s front door the night she was abducted was later released by the FBI.
Savannah and her siblings have accepted the possibility that their mom might be dead, but have offered $1 million for her return.
