- Another magical and rare Jiminy Glick interview from my storage library that doesnt seem to be on RUclips so here it is! This one from one of my VHS but still VG quality... Mickey Rooney seems to get agitated and angry during this one which is interesting...almost like he thinks its a real I/V. "You played your tailor...who hasnt." "Whats it like to be #1?...(i didnt feel anything..) Because you were Sedated." Classic lines. Marty Short is a genius ENJOY!
I met him in Vegas in 1980. I was on my honeymoon and waiting in the gazebo bar before a show we were attending. Cristopher Cross was performing before he got really famous. He announced us as honeymooners and played a song for us too slow dance to. Mickey stood and clapped for us. After the song he came over to our table and congratulated us and shook our hands. He was a class act.
Thats really nice to hear. As a brit i was lucky to go to 2 conventions in vegas with work. I enjoyed seeing the current sights but really made efforts to see the past side of vegas. The people and attitude. Had a few successes, was lucky and met the best people trying to find that history! Thank you Vegas. Keep it classy!
Who, Mickey or Jiminy?
@@christopherborum6551 He met Jiminy, but apparently Mickey was there, applauding.
@@christopherborum6551 I hope Jiminy!
Jiminy glick cures depression
Jiminy Glick is a universal cure for all ailments (FDA approval pending).
He sure does .I wish he would come back with today’s so called celebs
Untill you watch several dozen
In his unique style, he certainly does go make it hide for awhile. Laughter causes your body to release Endorphins which are called the 'feel-good drugs' that your body makes Naturally. DuckDuckGo 'Laughter is good medicine' and see what the experts/doctors have found. Interesting reading and not a 'new' science.
@Dan Roy after watching several dozen later I feel even better.
Mickey was wonderful, what a sport during this entire interview. He even gave Martin Praise at the end. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Hope they hung out together for a bit. Mickey really seemed to be enjoying the company.
The end was wonderful
I thought Mickey Rooney would have been a bit dour but he was a really good sport and there was some great chemistry here. For me this was one of Jiminy´s best interviews.
Martin Short is my absolute favourite comedian. I think he’s waaaay underrated.
I absolutely agree! Have you listened to his audiobook, I must say?
Absolutely a brilliant comedian. I couldn't agree more
I don't think he's funny at all. My opinion.
He's possibly the most respected comedic performer of all time. I'd say he's "rated" perfectly
@@choirrevolution not by enough though
I didn’t expect Micky Rourk to be so quick witted
Marty could have used that line. Too funny.
I thought it was Mickey Mantle?
OOOF
Mickey Rooney was completely on board. The man knew comedy.
Did we watch the same clip? lol I don't think he knew what he was in for and seemed overwhelmed the entire time
You do realize that Rooney was totally in on the whole premise of this act?@@CleverGirlAAH
@@CleverGirlAAH He got exactly what was going on.
@@CleverGirlAAH Mickey acted professionally from age 6 until his death at 93, with hundreds of films and dozens of awards to his credit. He was a consummate pro who knew exactly when to join in Short's improv and when to bow to his blistering wit.
@@davidjorgensen877 and…he won a golden globe😺
I worried this was going to go over Mickey's head. And sometimes, it did...but his quizzical looks made me laugh out loud. Then at other times, he was enjoying the ride. And the last line of his showed he really enjoyed it. Not common to see the normally talkative, hyper Mickey get quieted by a more animated person. And loved it when he had a belly laugh at the "You were sedated!" line.
hehe, agree and Mickey became quite perturbed a few times as well but it didn't last more than a couple of seconds because Martin, as always, immediately said something hilarious.
My take on these is the star comes into it knowing his schtick, but aren't aware of the questions & its treated as a real interview. Consequently, they are takin' by surprise sometimes. Sometimes they are offended, but in the end understand it's all meant to be in good fun. No way is Short intending to offend.
@@peach495My favorite guests on the show don't usually go head to head with Glick, but bemusedly let him do his thing.
I met Mickey on the street during the SAG strike in the 80s. Was beyond charming. A true gentleman. Truly delighted to have met him.
This was fun. One of my favorite parts was when Mickey started imitating Martin when he started his " high pitched stuttering, having a stroke shtick" where he can't get the word out. I think I've seen all of Jiminy's interviews and this is the only time I can remember anyone doing that. Perfect reaction imo.
I really thought Mickey was going to get upset, but he was a real trooper and let Jiminy do his thing. Thanks for another slice of outrageous banter with Jiminy.
What did you expect. Mickey Rourke is a consummate professional.
@@crispindry2815 I don't know if this is true. Maybe you've had a head injury lately?
@@jamezkpal2361Perhaps ten thousand videos of Mickey Rooney screaming and losing his cool at people for extremely minor things all over the internet. Consumate grouch when he was older
he was replaced by Jim J Bullock
That was probably one of the best Andy Rooney interviews ever.
Lol!
- or so the Germans would have you believe.
Great Mickey Hardy one too!
Great Mickey Kenova interview
Did you ever notice....
I saw some of these same reactions first hand when I met Mickey back in the early 2000's......he was not pleased to be the main attraction at the impromptu "meet and greet" after his show. And while he was pissed to have to endure meeting 25 people for 30 seconds each, he could turn on his act and be "pleased" to meet you and smile, but after the camera clicked he was back to pissed, lol, I'll never forget it!
I didn’t know jiminy interviewed Mickey. This made my day
Meet too. I think they should have panned out just a bit..showing the two together. At first I thought it might have been spliced?
Mickey was a great sport. Damn, Jiminy is a legendary character and Short’s wit is unparalleled
Mickey was a good sport here - even Jiminy had to play down the irreverence
I was going to say, I'm amazed this exists. I can't believe he'd put up with this for one second. Don't get me wrong, I love Martin, and I love him doing Jiminy, but Mick really was patient. I hope he was in on it... He had to be.
He did tone down the acid tongued, passive aggressive insults for sure.
I love Rooney's exasperated reactions. LOL
Loved when Mickey started scratching his arm and rubbing his cheek even though he was in on the joke. By then I was scratching, too! LMAO!
Mickey was sharp as a tack here.
gave one of jiminy's best interviews, which is a HIGH bar to clear
No Mickey Rooney crazy pills here...
he was either 79-80 but always very sharp
Private secretary to Charles Nelson Reilly. Hilarious.
And PR flack for rip Taylor😺
My dad used to tell me stories about drinking with Mr. Rooney and it was nice to see him encapsulated the same way here. One of my favorite things ever. Thanks Martin. You're a treasure.
Thanks, Mickey! We know this was you performing, too. Of course he knew what to expect from Martin (except for that last little tease..."Don't do that!")
Glick is based on real interviewers the stars had to put up with, so it must be karma to get back at them with this charade. Mickey is my favorite Glick interview of all. So funny.
Love you, Mickey, even more after seeing this. 💚😊💚
Rooney was genius in this.
"She never went to school because she was a hillbilly" - Jiminy Glick. Hilarious!
Wonderful wonderful wonderful wonderful
Always hilarious Jiminy Glick....when I saw this I thought it would be uncomfortable to see Mickey get this type of comic treatment, but he went along with it!!!! I loved Mickey's reaction at 4:10 after the Mickey Rooney/Henry Fonda 'interesting energy' comment. Thank you for the clip.
Mickey says "You clown (brief pause, thought he was calling Jiminy a clown, then he continues softer) with it, but it's serious and you're wonderful." I think Mickey got it and enjoyed it. That question about Audrey Hepburn was beautiful. It was a clownish way to say she has seriously amazing image, what was it like to work with her. Mickey confirming she was a real human which implies she was a good person to be around. This is "rare" because it is a real interview. Great quick questions about Mickey's fame and his amazing contemporaries.
After the insults, it was good to see Mickey at the end laugh about it, and complement Jiminy. It was awesome to see those two!
This made me smile until my face hurt.
Judy Canova sent me here.
how lucky is Martin Short to work with legends like Mickey Rooney, if only briefly.........
Absolutely genius Martin Short
Mickey Rooney sharp as a tack
I like when he shouts YOU WERE IN NIGHT GALLERY
Hilarious... the legendary Mickey Rooney, a true professional and gracious man did great here..Martin Short is fabulous.
I was wondering if Mr. Rooney knew it was a bit at first, but he caught on to the vibe of the 'interview' and went with it. What a trouper! RIP
This is the first time I’ve seen Martin short imitate Skip E Lowe. He is so spot on! And way funnier than the real Skip E/aka Jimminy Glick
Was about to say, Skip E. Lowe was a real piece of work!
" and you played Andy Rooney"...hilarious. Micky Rooney truly a great, very talented entertainer, actor, performer, but kinda "out there" in every interview I've seen of him. Here he seems like he's enjoying the craziness. (I worked with Martin Short decades ago. A really nice, sincere person who could turn the "on" off: He instinctively knew when the " too much" that a lot of comedians put out all the time was not needed.. And frighteningly talented.)
I agree with this about Martin Short a-la Jiminy. He's very quick with the sort of depricating (and also self-depricating) humour but he's not mean.... he keeps the other person laughing and is always watching their reactions and knows when to pull back. I can only think of once when someone appeared to have gotten genuinely miffed at the end.... when he interviewed Mel Brooks and kept asking him what he had against Nazis in his films. It was of course a ridiculous question, lol.
Mel being Jewish and having lived through WWII firsthand this could have been a bit much for him emotionally, and later he walked offstage. Conan O'Brien walked offstage too but that may have been an act when Glick refused to listen to his sad story.... heh.
@@c.rutherford People getting upset with
Glick is strictly a put on//all part of the act.
Glicks humor and this interview show will always stay relevant. His improvisation speed is on Robin Williams level
- Love me some Robin but I really don't think he could keep up with Short.
@@zora_noamflannery2548 Only when he was on coke and the references weren't as witty
Robin are not even close.totally overrated.short in the other hand are always fun.
@@elvisjimpa100No one has a bad thing to say about Robin. He just exudes warmth. But I have to say, his standup and improv is kind of meh. I think he was highly elevated by his acting career, where he really shined.
Yes he was a nice guy but i dont like his movies and acting either.sorry.I think he was to over the top just to get laughs.Will Ferrell and Jim Carrey got that problem too.my personal favourits when it comes to comedy is Chris Farley,Sam Kinison,Bill Burr and Louis CK.happy new year.@@Katya_Lastochka
2:57 jiminy starts speaking in the language only he and mickey rooney can understand
Seems Mickey was thinking: Seems poor Jiminy is having some kind of problem for whatever reason, maybe we can still communicate and I can help him or at least give him some time to self recover.
I like how it transforms from an endurance test for the actors to an endurance test for the audience
Mickey Rooney shows how gifted an actor he was. Plays the most EXCELLENT straight man for Jiminy. So good! Thank you both for this entertainment gold.❤
Mickey is a Legend.
What a darling, absolutely wonderful interview with Andy Rooney. I hope he's doing well. Regards and Gobbless
Today actors make movies, 4:20 Mickey made roughly 400 pictures.
5:07 Loved his laugh at the end
He made movies for 90 years
thanks so much for posting. I thought I had seen all of Jiminy's interviews ( most many, many times). Jiminy's character is so freakin funny I wish Martin would do more. It doesn't look like it's in the cards, so thanks again for putting this up.
Mickey Rooney was a wonderful serious actor who never got the credit that he deserved...RIP, Mickey.
Mickey was was very sharp and had such a peaceful simplicity about him. Became a Christian later in life.
I'm not used to seeing Mickey play the straight man here in this interview skit, but, as with just about everything in the entertainment world, he was superb.
Outstanding upload! Definitely one of his funniest interviews.
I used to catch Primetime Glick whenever I could when I was 10 years old. Finding Jiminy again on RUclips Has made me realize how much of Martin Short’s insane talent went over my head completely.
I'm well on the way down the Jiminy Glick rabbit hole (like so many of us!) and this is one of my favourites so far. Love the quick witted back and forth
I love you Martin Short!! I love you Mr. Glick!! You both have brightened my days for decades!
Man...mickey was great!! What a sport!
Might be one of the best Jiminy Glick interviews
This is a gem! Can you imagine Jiminy interviewing Joan Crawford or Bette Davis??
Amazing. Incidentally..I must've "liked" this skit previously, but am not aware due to BOOOOOOOZE.
Oh man this made me laugh so much! Brilliant!
3:46 “....Andy Rooney?” 🤣
Mickey God bless you! What a good sport.
2:10 is one of Jiminy's absolute best attempts at getting a little more comfortable in his chair I've ever seen
As respectful as I've ever seen him. Perfect.
Thank you sooo very much.......all the way from London !
Well done and worth watching twice
Fun fact: He and his wife browsed my sister's consignment shop in Thousand Oaks, California.
Sounds like a very strange store why would you have so many trees in one shop
Cool.
was Mickey friendly?
My goodness bless you for posting this!
One I haven’t seen and watched 25 times. Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks for the upload!
four more years, four more years.....!
@@jameshudson169 keep America great!
That interview was AWESOME!
No MAN made Mickey Rooney look good better than Martin Short
I will pray for America. 🇺🇸
Please pray for me. 🙏🏻
God Bless you. ✝️
I just got big into Mickey Rooney this year. It's so great how many interviews and TV he did, too, to fuel my new interest.
Fun fact, in the early 90s Mickey Rooney was doing dinner theater in Calgary alberta. I was working as a teenager in high school at Stage West... They sent me to send some food backstage, I was about 16, I carried the tray back and I was in a good mood and I was whistling. I didn't think anyone was back there yet. There was this kind of throne thing that was left over from another production, and as I came to the door whistling, I heard a grouchy old man yell at me. " Hey kid what the f*** do you think you're doing?!". It was Mickey Rooney, sitting on this throne... he proceeded to curse me out, told me that whistling backstage was the worst luck in Showbiz. My tail between my legs, I quickly retreated to the kitchen...
Whistling in the theatre is considered bad luck. This superstition started in the middle of the 1600s when theatrical scenery began to fly. Sailors had extensive knowledge of ropes, rigging and knots and were hired backstage as run crew. Like on a ship, the sailors would communicate with each other through whistles to bring a backdrop in or out. Consequently, a whistling actor onstage could start a scene change early or get knocked out from incoming scenery.
@@stevepotfora7461 thanks, didn't know that!
this is the funniest interterview yet - what a trip
it was, b/c Mickey Rooney seemed seriously confused 🤣🤣🤣
There's a real element of danger here because you're not sure if Mickey's gonna get the joke (which of course he did) and how he's gonna react. But still, I saw him berate & almost physically attack Robert Osborne in an interview once so you never know.
Glick or Rooney?
@@SonnyGTA Glick
Martin Short is BRILLIANT, just like ALL of the other SCTV guys and gals!!!!!!!!
Which is amazing given how lovely and welcoming Osborne was.
Alas, Rooney Mara's showing her age now, but she was a hell of a good sport in this interview.
I loved her in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo... with Judy Canova.
And a golden glooobe award
😒
Jiminy should have ask him about making "It's a mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad world" and working with all those wonderful stars. Jiminy mentioned he was on Rod Serling's Night Gallery (Rare Objects), but Mickey was also on the Twilight Zone (NIght of the Jockey). A great episode....SHRIMPPPPP!!!!!
Mickey's reaction to Jiminy mentioning his wife. Ha!
Where the hell did this come from? I thought I’ve seen every JG....this is awesome. Post more please!
andy hudgins same here.
Because this is a fake interview! It’s a brilliant montage of clips of Mickey’s interview with others and spliced with JG seemingly interviewing him! Notice how they are never in frame together!
sagee67 I thought it looked odd!
@@sagee67 Where are you getting this from? Jiminy interviewed him. This is from the Martin Short show.
@@SonnyGTA No, it's a real interview.
The fact that Mickey Rooney lived to hear a Twitter joke is amazing
The phrase "all a Twitter" has nothing to do with the Technology company now known as X. We used to use that phrase in high school in the 70's. Usually as a joke. 🙏
Twitterpated as well
"WOOF WOOF"
"You can say that again"
"WOOF"
"You did :D"
Jesus over 400 movies. Holy shit
I liked the beach movies he did in the 60s, and Mad Mad World.
"Am I interviewing you, or are you interviewing me?"
Short is playing Skip E. Lowe for you youtubers who do not know
This is just brilliant!!
Wow. I never saw this one! Thank you.
I'm all a twitter.....Mr. Short was a prophet.
Mickey Rooney made his first film in 1926.
The year of the legendary King-Byng Affair in Canadian constitutional politics. How’s that for a coinkydink.
@@trs4437 MacKenzie King?
And his last movie a few weeks before his death - one of the longest film careers of all time.
I agree pretty much with your assessment, Darren. In this piece, he seemed to go back and forth from thinking it's a real interview, to appreciating Marty's talent/humor. I'd like to know the vintage of this video. Years ago, I was part of a Palm Springs morning radio show with two other guys and we had Mickey in the studio one morning. It was the late '90s . . . I'm going to say '97 or so . . . and we certainly did not get in as much talking as the great Marty Short does here. Mickey talked almost non-stop. When we informed him we needed to take a commercial break, he kept on talking, oblivious to our requests. So my co-host cued the commercial and the mics were cut. Mickey kept on talking, still oblivious. I don't remember if he had headphones on or not--You'd think that would have slowed him down, so I guess not. Anyhow, we came back from commercial break, and he was still talking. I mean after the commercial, you hear Mickey, mid-sentence talking about something. Tears were coming down my cheeks I was laughing so hard. :o)
This is a very interesting piece. You can tell Mickey was a classy guy just by watching this. My favorite Jiminy interview.
Starts off with canova. Brilliant. And oblique reference to turners scandal. And having to see the judge. Covered it all
"Yank at Eton.... that happened to me once but that's another... *long* story, I don't wanna bore you and of course I want to stay on the air too."
good lord. Haven't laughed that hard in a while.
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful ..... Martin is the maestro of comedy!
Mickey actually did play a messenger boy in the 1934 movie I Like It That Way.
Mickey went with the pitch. Fantastic.
thank you, i've never seen this.
I just knew Glick was going to go down the “you’ve been married 8 times” road but he didn’t lol.
This was a very funny interview, love Jiminy
i can never said "golden globe" in a normal way anymore because of this
Thank you! That answered a question that has had me puzzled for years and years!
"You're back toJudy Canova..." 😹
Thank you😊👍👏👏👏
Jiminy Glick was ahead of his time. We have too many Jiminy Glicks nowadays...
I met Mickey Rooney at a Hollywood autograph show. As I scooted down on his left side, next to him seated in his chair, I went to put my hand on the back of his chair, but accidentally "touched his back" in doing so. Mickey INSTANTLY knocked me over on the carpet saying, "NO ONE TOUCHES ME!" I was wearing a dress and heels & actress Debbie Reynolds looked over & felt sorry for me. I picked myself up, I returned to my squatted position next to his chair, but was unable to smile for the photo. What I do remember, is that his teeth were SO OLD & ROTTEN, they looked like petrified wood stumps, in his mouth. So, I guess I'm in a rare group of Women who've been knocked to the ground by short-fused, short-tempered, short-statured Mickey Rooney.
Mickey Rooney? Jesus Marty Short has even more respect than I could have guessed. This is GOLD.
