On October 11, 2025, comedians Steve Martin, 80, and Martin Short, 75, took the stage at the Encore Theater at the Wynn and used the final moments of their set to pay tribute to their beloved co-star, Diane Keaton. The pair shared a photo of Keaton on the screen behind them as the crowd erupted in applause.

Keaton, who passed away on October 11, 2025, at the age of 79, had a long and celebrated career in Hollywood. Martin and Short, who co-starred with Keaton in the 'Father of the Bride' films, fondly recalled their friendship and shared a screenshot from an interview where Keaton playfully referred to them as "idiots." The comedians also reminisced about another interview where Keaton refused to name the "most unpleasant actor" she had worked with, saying, "There will never be anybody who will trouble and bother me as much as you and Marty."
In addition to the tribute during their show, Martin also shared a photo of Keaton on social media, writing, "Loved! 'La dee da,la dee da.'" The following day, he posted a picture of a playbill from a 1964 college production of 'Carousel,' where Keaton, billed under her birth name Diane Hall, was the lead, and Martin was a stage hand.
