Gold Derby can exclusively reveal that Steve Martin is entering the “Only Murders in the Building” episode titled “Sitzprobe” as his 2024 Emmy Award submission for Best Comedy Actor. “Sitzprobe” streamed on September 19, 2023 and is the eighth episode of the Hulu show’s third season.
In this installment, Martin’s character Charles-Haden Savage joins the rest of the play’s cast and crew for a complete run-through, and he is finally able to perform the tongue-twisting song “Which Of The Pickwick Triplets Did It?” in its entirety. Later, Charles and Oliver Putnam (Martin Short) secretly record the interrogations conducted by Detective Donna Williams (Da’Vine Joy Randolph) in order to learn more about who killed Ben Glenroy (Paul Rudd).
