Eighty birthdays, one wedding joke, and a Gollum impression, that is what viewers got in less than five minutes when Selena Gomez sat down with Steve Martin and Martin Short on Jimmy Fallon’s couch. When Martin quipped about still waiting for a wedding invite, Gomez teased that Short will be the ring bearer. Short instantly dropped to one knee and croaked, “Here is your ring, Selena. Take it,” channeling Gollum from The Lord of the Rings.
The best part was watching everyone break into laughter. Gomez glowed as she played along, Steve Martin smirked like the quiet uncle at a family dinner, and Fallon barely kept the show on track. Short threw one more joke, saying, “We all love her and her fiancé, Bad Bunny,” before Gomez, dead serious, replied, “Benny Blanco!” The crowd roared, making the moment one of the night’s highlights.

Fans were just as loud online. One viewer said it felt like “watching three siblings tease each other.” Another laughed about Short’s commitment to the bit, calling him “a treasure of comedy.” Someone else wrote that Gomez’s straight-faced “Benny Blanco!” reply was the funniest moment of the interview.
That playful energy carried over to the Golden Globes, where Gomez and Short shared a quieter but just as meaningful moment. This time, it was not about teasing or jokes. It was a soft, real-life exchange that reminded fans why they love seeing these two together on and off screen.
