Martin Short will make his first appearance on "The Howard Stern Show" Wednesday.

It's hard to imagine that the comedy legend has never appeared on the show as Stern has interviewed nearly every comic luminary out there.

Short, who starred on comedy classic "SCTV" and then on "Saturday Night Live" will be appearing on the show to promote his new book "I Must Say: My Life As A Humble Comedy Legend." Short is also currently appearing on the struggling FOX sitcom "Mulaney," which was created by former "SNL" writer John Mulaney.

To celebrate the appearance, HowardStern.com has posted a survey about Short's career to see which parts fans prefer the most. Take it here.

Stern has long-expressed his admiration of "Saturday Night Live" and he has interviewed nearly every major cast member.

In recent months he had former "SNL" star Seth Meyers on as well as Fred Armisen and current cast-member Bobby Moynihan. Stern had a legendary feud with original "SNL" star Chevy Chase though the two ultimately made up.

In his new memoir Short heartfelt tells the story of how a showbiz-obsessed kid from Canada transformed himself into one of Hollywood's favorite funnymen, known to his famous peers as the "comedian's comedian."

Amazon described the book:

Martin Short takes you on a rich, hilarious, and occasionally heartbreaking ride through his life and times, from his early years in Toronto as a member of the fabled improvisational troupe Second City to the all-American comic big time of Saturday Night Live and memorable roles in movies such as ?Three Amigos! and Father of the Bride.

He reveals how he created his most indelible comedic characters, among them the manic man-child Ed Grimley, the slimy corporate lawyer Nathan Thurm, and the bizarrely insensitive interviewer Jiminy Glick.

Throughout, Short freely shares the spotlight with friends, colleagues, and collaborators, including Steve Martin, Tom Hanks, Gilda Radner, Mel Brooks, Nora Ephron, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Paul Shaffer, and more.
