‘I Have to Stay on My Toes’: Jane Lynch Reveals She Tries to ‘Mirror’ Only Murders in the Building Co-Star Steve Martin

As a lifestyle expert with a deep appreciation for the arts and a keen eye for on-screen chemistry, I can confidently say that the forthcoming Season 4 of Only Murders in the Building promises to be a delightful spectacle. With stars like Steve Martin, Selena Gomez, and Martin Short gracing our screens once more, it’s clear that this show is a testament to collaboration, camaraderie, and top-notch acting.


On August 22, stars such as Steve Martin, Selena Gomez, and Martin Short, along with fellow actors like Jane Lynch, graced the red carpet for the season 4 premiere of Only Murders in the Building, held at the Paramount Lot in sunny Los Angeles.

In an exclusive chat, Jane Lynch, the actress playing Sazz, discussed her role as Steve Martin’s stand-in for his character Charles during stunts. Lynch explained that a significant part of her job involves observing Martin carefully during rehearsals.

She detailed that she follows Martin’s actions and aligns hers accordingly, maintaining harmony with him at all times. However, it’s important to note that although conventional stunt methods might be employed from time to time, the primary objective is consistently to deliver the most impactful outcome.

Apart from discussing the complexities of her part, Lynch pointed out that she doesn’t experience nervousness when portraying Martin, but rather underscored that Sazz has a personality all her own, separate from Charles. In Lynch’s perspective, Sazz is an original character who doesn’t merely mimic Charles.

Through this unique method, Lynch infuses her individual charm into the role instead of merely emulating Martin’s character. The chemistry between Lynch and Martin is evident, showcasing their delightful collaboration that significantly enhances the vibrant acting in the series.

Martin Short has shared fascinating insights about his part in the upcoming fourth season of Only Murders in the Building. He disclosed that during hazardous stunts, Selena Gomez executes the riskier moves while assuming a safer position. Short elaborated that in these scenes, Gomez would momentarily halt and replicate her actions before he stepped up to perform the more perilous tasks himself, giving him the chance to unwind with a cappuccino.

As a devoted fan, I can’t hide my excitement about collaborating with the remarkable duo, Martin Short and Steve Martin. Working alongside them on set has been an absolute pleasure, thanks to their exceptional professionalism. To put it simply, I genuinely cherish these opportunities to work with them, and I appreciate the positive energy they bring to the set.

Martin Short concurred with Gomez’s evaluation, expressing that working alongside her and him is delightful. He underscored the fun aspect of the job, mentioning that the eagerness for each day’s work boosts his enthusiasm. Moreover, Short reminisced about their long-standing friendship with Martin, infusing a personal touch into their professional bond.

In the upcoming season, Oliver Putnam, Mabel Mora, and Charles-Hayden Savage will delve into the murder mystery of their friend Sazz Pataki. Their journey takes them to Hollywood where they hope their podcast transforms into a movie. Throughout the season, Zach Galifianakis, Eva Longoria, and Eugene Levy are set to make cameos, each portraying larger-than-life characters based on the film’s main personalities.

As a die-hard fan, I can hardly contain my excitement! Molly Shannon, an accomplished businesswoman with a knack for investigation, is set to join the cast of this upcoming project. Joining forces with Melissa McCarthy, Richard Kind, Sazz Pataki, Meryl Streep, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, and Michael Cyril Creighton, Molly will also be gracing our screens alongside returning stars Kumail Nanjiani and, you guessed it, the fabulous Melissa McCarthy herself! This dream team is going to blow our minds!
