It might be April Fools’ Day, but this news is no joke. Emmy- and Tony-winning comedian Martin Short will be adding a new role to his prolific career: mayor. The Only Murders star is set to succeed co-star Jane Lynch as the Mayor of Funner, California. The position will call on Short to “protect fun, good times, laughing out loud and positive vibes from the negative influences determined to turn a smile upside down” in the small town home to Harrah’s Resort SoCal for the next two years. Once inaugurated in May, Short will work with the town’s city council to promote fun and elevate tourism within city limits. The comedian will be the city’s fourth mayor in all, following in the footsteps of Lynch, Rob Riggle and David Hasselhoff. 

No stranger to fun, jokes or pranks, it’s just a regular Monday for the denizens of the timeline. Today’s funniest tweets include those about a group of diabolical movie-theater employees, one man’s standing truth and elder abuse against an aging gaming console.
