Ed Grimley
Edward Mayhoff 'Ed' Grimley is a fictional character created and portrayed by Martin Short. Developed amongst The Second City improv comedy troupe, Grimley made his television debut on the sketch comedy show ''SCTV'' in 1982, leading to popular success for both Short and the persona. Short continued to portray Grimley on ''Saturday Night Live'' and in various other appearances. The character also starred in the 1988 animated series ''The Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley'', as well as appearing in Short's 2012 comedy special ''I, Martin Short, Goes Home''.
== Concept and Creation ==
Martin Short originated the character on Toronto's Second City stage as an unnamed school parent in a sketch. Originally, his hair was simply very greasy and unkempt, but another cast member joked offstage that the height of the hair seemed to increase with each performance. In an interview, Short said that he was inspired by a scene from the John Wayne movie McLintock and started greasing it straight up. Short noticed an incidental baring of his teeth raised laughs; that too became a character trait. Over numerous appearances, the character of Ed Grimley began to take shape.
Ed Grimley is an excessively cowlicked, hyperactive manchild who is obsessed with banal popular culture, particularly ''Wheel of Fortune'' and its host, Pat Sajak. He also loves to play the triangle, which for him consists of playing a recorded musical piece, striking the triangle once, and then wildly dancing to the recording.
