Live’s” recent 50th anniversary special had some unfunny consequences, according to Steve Martin. The comedic actor – who delivered the special’s opening monologue on Sunday – posted a photo on his verified social media on Thursday showing his “Only Murders in the Building” costar and friend Martin Short sharing a friendly smooch with former “SNL” cast member Maya Rudolph at the event.

"Maya [Rudolph] had Covid. Marty has Covid. I wonder why?," the comedian said while sharing a photo of Short and Rudolph embracing and sharing a kiss.

The COVID-19 diagnosis of Martin Short and Maya Rudolph led Steve Martin to reference an "SNL curse" while sharing the news on social media.
