Martin Short Brings Back Jiminy Glick to Interview Bill Maher | Video

Bill Maher had as his one-on-one interview guest Martin Short on Friday’s episode of “Real Time.” But it wasn’t Maher interviewing Short. Instead, Short resurrected Jiminy Glick, his beloved parody of talk show hosts, to interview Maher about his best-selling book “What This Comedian Said Will Shock You.”

In setting the interview up, Maher explained, “for years I’ve interviewed authors out here in our opening one on one interview spot but now I find myself in the position of being the author of a book on the bestseller list so I can’t interview myself I needed someone to interview me. And we are so lucky tonight we have a master perhaps the master of the art form ladies and gentlemen Jiminy Glick.”

At that, Short came out as Glick, who he first created for his 1999-2000 syndicated “The Martin Short Show” and then spun-off into his hit Comedy Central series “Primetime Glick,” which ran through 2003.

“You’re really, you’re timeless. Your skin is so youthful. It is not saying it’s firm. I’m saying it’s useful,” Short as Glick said. “The Kylie Jenner lip plumper and you’re in wonderful shape fill someone who’s let himself go you’re like a male Marjorie Taylor Greene really? In other words, Marjorie Taylor great.”

The interview went from there essentially as people familiar with Glick would expect, filled with non-sequiturs, blithe asides and deliberately obtuse questions. It’s really fun, and you can watch it all at the top of the page.
