Martin Short is co-hosting SNL this week, and in the promo above he asks the castmembers for help wrapping gifts for his celebrity friends.

"Now, this book is for Colin Jost. It's called How to develop a Personality," says Short, holding up the various presents. "Now this baby rattle is for Al Pacino. Not his baby, it's actually for Al. And of course this suntan lotion is for Steve Martin. It's SPF infinity, because let's face it, Steve is whiter than a Coldplay meet-and-greet. His blood type is mayonnaise."

Finally, Short holds up two signed photographs of himself. "And these are for my kids," he says.
