Conan Honors Martin Short's Daughter Katherine

0:00Here's more Durham news for March 16th. Conan O'Brien wrapped up the 2026 Academy Awards on March 15th with a heartfelt tribute to Martin Short. This came weeks after Short's daughter, Catherine, died by suicide at age 42. O'Brien called it an honor and sent love to Short before signing off. Catherine worked as a social worker and was remembered for the joy she brought to others. Her family released a statement last month confirming the news and asking for privacy during their grief. She was one of three children shared by Martin Short and his late wife Nancy Domen, who died in 2010 from ovarian cancer. The couple's sons are Oliver, 39, and Henry, 36. Martin has stepped back from public events since then, skipping the recent actor awards despite a nomination for only murders in the building. His co-star Selena Gomez shared public support, posting about standing by him and Steve Martin. Oliver said Catherine seemed nice, but kept her herself in their quiet area with no clear signs of struggle.
