His mother died of cancer in 1967, his father two years later of complications from a stroke. When Short graduated from McMaster University, he intended to pursue a career in social work; however, he became interested in acting once he was cast in a Toronto production of Godspell that same year.[9] Among other members of that production's cast were Victor Garber, Gilda Radner, Eugene Levy, Dave Thomas, and Andrea Martin; Paul Shaffer was the musical director.

At SCTV Short developed several characters before moving on to Saturday Night Live for the 1984–1985 season: He helped revive the show with his many characters for the show's tenth season (the last one produced by Dick Ebersol). "Short's appearance on SNL helped to review the show's fanbase, which had flagged after the departure of Eddie Murphy, and in turn, would launch his successful career in films and television." Short's SNL characters included manic man-child and Wheel of Fortune fan Ed Grimley, which he borrowed from his SCTV days. He also did impressions of such celebrities as Jerry Lewis and Katharine Hepburn. In addition to his work on SCTV and SNL, Short has starred in several television specials and series of his own.
