Comedian / Actor Martin Short -- who just happens to be the proud parent of two Notre Dame students; Oliver Patrick and Henry '12 -- was a guest this morning on NBC's Today Show with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kolb promoting his new movie Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted.
Things were going fine until Kathie-Lee asked Martin why his long-time marriage to Nancy Dolman was so successful -- and, as you'll see, she didn't ask just one question about their relationship. Unfortunately, Mrs. Gifford was unaware that Nancy died August 21, 2010 from cancer.
As you'll see -- Martin Short handled this in a very classy fashion.
