This was nothing short of a masterpiece by Short. Ben played it beautifully, as well, even though he was on the verge of cracking up a few times. I’m sure they both busted up after it was over.
He nearly broke early on then just fell apart several times. It was glorious. I remember seeing these when the show was in its first run. People didn't seem to get it. Not sure why... it's incredible. He's so fast.
I love the fact that you can hear the crew laughing and clapping in the background. It must have been such an ordeal trying to keep it together when filming this.
@joe smath because he kind of tried to be serious (at least seemingly) at first, then gave into the brilliant silliness that is Martin short. Whereas Seinfeld, who’s too arrogant to be the butt of the joke, just insulted him & tried to retain control of the interview which I think is actually less funny
"She thought she was a lesbian, and then she thought she was a normal person." LOL!!!!!!!!! Martin Short has made me laugh myself silly for years, but this character is the funniest thing I've ever seen him do.
Man, Martin Short is just so relentlessly hilarious. I love watching his "guests" try to hold it together. You know you've made it in show biz when you have the honor of being in front of Jiminy for an interview.
Just relentlessly funny ... You're father is on that series, "Queer as Folk" ... no, you're mistaken. It's "King of Queens" - "Oh, is that what they're calling it now" OMFG.
'I often carry tweezers'...blink and you miss it, yet amazing how an off the cuff line can be brilliantly funny on its own. And love how he whacks the guests with the rolled up papers
Martin Short is referring to his own Ed Grimley character. Like Ben Stiller, Short was on SNL for only a few weeks, so his comments about bombing and failing could be aimed at himself. :)
Martin Short keeps the jokes and subtle digs coming so quick and relentlessly, even with his sharp comic peers, that it's all they can do just to keep up. They can only *try* to poke back, or just give up and play straight man like Jack Black did. I can only imagine the craziness that could've been if he had been able to get Robin Williams in one of these... Robin would've been about the only guy that would be as quick on the draw.
I feel like Martin short has this intrinsic ability to understand how successful a certain person is, and then he adjusts his level of criticism to that person. So he really goes at Ben Stiller here because he really respects his work and knows he’s good. So he brings up failing in relation to his parents as a completely ironic point, admitting that he has far surpassed his parents
Huh? I don’t see this bit at as anything to do with a level of criticism? It’s comedic set up. “Surpassed his parents” …. Come on now. He does what he does and his parents did what they did. It’s not a big competition for our likes. Love Martin Short. Thanks for posting.
No fair, Stiller has his own take on this and trying to play it straight with Jiminy stuck in your face is clever. This is funny stuff, I love 'em all. Martin Short is awesome.
"She thought she was a lesbian, and then she thought she was a normal person, and then before you know it she's talking to aliens..." If RUclips had any sense, they'd knock the high cost/low yield drama series on the head and fork out for 12 × 30 mins Jiminy episodes.
Short is wildly funny, of course, in all of the "Out and About" interviews from "Primetime Glick," but a certain amount of credit should also go to whoever edited them for maximum comedic impact - not a second is wasted. I also love how game Stiller is in this particular interview as "the straight man."
“she’s had the worst time of it hasn’t she? She’s had this cause she thought she was a lesbian, then she thought she was a normal person, and then before you know it she’s talking to aliens.” lol 😂 literally spit out my cereal 🥣 in laughter
I appreciate that Ben and I grew up essentially as twins. He expresses in this vid that he was involved in plenty of family touching, just like my own happenstances. And that the demons are chasing him n between takes when he is on set. I wrote to Benji, so that we could begin exchanging prayers. Benji, it is never too late to swap out.
"You were on SNL! Ohh I loved you! I LOVED YOUR CHARACTER! 'That's the ticket!' That was wonderful!!! You were WONDERFUL! ON! THAT! SHOW!" "That was Jon Lovitz"
Ben is such a pro. The way he threw the question back at Martin, and then kept speaking to give martin enough time to come up with a response. PRO
@joe smath are you scared of ben stiller
I was struggling to put my finger on why it worked so well. You nailed it. Ben is quite the giver.
@@AlbertHopkinsFromAdelaide 🤣
"Slick the hair back and get a laugh"
Gold
I must say
Hilarious how Martin Short can break-up these stars. He’s a comic genius.
1:19. I’m convinced this is an authentic dig at “movie star” Stiller from Short. Glick is just an alter-ego that lets him get away with it.
I like the little things, like him sniffing his fingers after they shake hands.
...and his compliments like "That surprises me, because you used to be funny".
RIP Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara. Both terrific comedians.
RIP Anne Heche too
@antonio78230 yes, Ben's real mother
RIP Jimminy's seat cushion.
RIP, Susan Taulli.
"I'll never squash an ant"
"I'll behead it"
Martin Short is as funny as they come.
My favorite moment. At first it sounds kind, like he can't even kill an ant. Then the second part comes out...
@@kirbygene And of course capping it with the "I often carry tweezers" line that sounds vaguely menacing.
@@showmethedickens Exactly!
"Why do I decapitate ants?" LOL
“Michael Jackson had a dark side and he dealt with it”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
This was nothing short of a masterpiece by Short. Ben played it beautifully, as well, even though he was on the verge of cracking up a few times. I’m sure they both busted up after it was over.

@@coma13794 Absolutely. Some of the best comedy gold ever.
Michael Jackson had a dark side 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ben is so handsome here. I absolutely love his smile . ❤️
kudos to Stiller for playing it straight for awhile.
Always love hearing the crew laughing in the background
"slick your hair back and get a laugh"... Ed Grimley reference methinks
"michael jackson had a dark side and he dealt with it." LOL
Scottie guru omg I laughed hard at that one. Caught me so off guard
Michael was alive at the time of this interview!
Im dying rn
@@kevdean9967 Right?? Interesting use of the past tense there.
Si si. Very funny
I love the fact that you can hear the crew laughing and clapping in the background. It must have been such an ordeal trying to keep it together when filming this.
2:11 the best part! 🤣
Ben Stiller played this just right.
@joe smath be quite
@joe smath shut up
@joe smath Calm down, Marty lol
@joe smath because he kind of tried to be serious (at least seemingly) at first, then gave into the brilliant silliness that is Martin short. Whereas Seinfeld, who’s too arrogant to be the butt of the joke, just insulted him & tried to retain control of the interview which I think is actually less funny
Glick confessing to beheading ants instead of squashing is hardest I've every laughed at him hah
Glick, a dark troubled man
Your recap of him saying that has me cracking up again
"Why do I do that?" Yup, had me rolling.
I prefer the mel brooks interview where he asks what's his beef with the nazis lol.
When he says "I'll never squash an ant" it makes him sound kind-hearted for about four seconds. Then he says the other thing.
"She thought she was a lesbian, and then she thought she was a normal person." LOL!!!!!!!!! Martin Short has made me laugh myself silly for years, but this character is the funniest thing I've ever seen him do.
Man, Martin Short is just so relentlessly hilarious. I love watching his "guests" try to hold it together. You know you've made it in show biz when you have the honor of being in front of Jiminy for an interview.
Is this the best Jiminy Glick interview? I'm inclined to believe so. Stiller played it perfectly.
My fave is still Alec Baldwin. Epic.
Ice Cube is up there
Mel Brooks maybe?
"What have you got against the Nazis?"
Jerry Seinfeld
I put all my money on Julia Louis-Dreyfus. That one is a riot.
Just relentlessly funny ... You're father is on that series, "Queer as Folk" ... no, you're mistaken. It's "King of Queens" - "Oh, is that what they're calling it now" OMFG.
you are right, hilarious
LOL
the disrespect is nonstop - it’s amazing stuff - the spielberg interview has me in stitches
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 hilarious
I like how, amidst the Anne Heche thing at 2:41, he also slips in that Ben Stiller is a "daughter" rather than a son, hahaha.
I wonder if Ben let it slide, or noticed
I caught that too, wondering a bit, but I caught it!!!!!!!! Lol
Oh that's hilarious. I've seen this a billion times too.
'I often carry tweezers'...blink and you miss it, yet amazing how an off the cuff line can be brilliantly funny on its own. And love how he whacks the guests with the rolled up papers
I love how he goes right to the end....."you can let go now,
touching is too needy"
"she said it looked like a shih tzu"
"Michael Jackson had a dark side and he dealt with it." Don't know why this took about the thousandth re-watch to get this magical line.
wonderful chemistry
That “Queer as Folk” comment always cracks me up!
"Michael Jackson had a dark side and he dealt with it"
"Slick the hair back and get a laugh."
Jilm M PUG
Too tricky for you?
Martin Short is referring to his own Ed Grimley character. Like Ben Stiller, Short was on SNL for only a few weeks, so his comments about bombing and failing could be aimed at himself. :)
Ben Stiller is the perfect foil for Jiminy. Ben is a class act and full of kindness.
"Touching is...too needy." 😄 Martin Short is so quick, even to the end.
Martin Short keeps the jokes and subtle digs coming so quick and relentlessly, even with his sharp comic peers, that it's all they can do just to keep up. They can only *try* to poke back, or just give up and play straight man like Jack Black did. I can only imagine the craziness that could've been if he had been able to get Robin Williams in one of these... Robin would've been about the only guy that would be as quick on the draw.
How far through your glick binge did you stumble across this gem? Me, about 4 episodes in
me, six
About 20. Help me.
3 episodes
many
3rd
he said "its in my book however,you can pick it up on tape" lmao
ZSchochprod right after he said "I don't disclose personal details" lmfao
Stiller wins. He treats this as a real interview. Maybe the only one who used this tactic.
He treats it perfectly and lets the scenario work.
It's a competition?
The best thing EVER on television. Martin Short as Jiminy Glick.
I feel like Martin short has this intrinsic ability to understand how successful a certain person is, and then he adjusts his level of criticism to that person. So he really goes at Ben Stiller here because he really respects his work and knows he’s good.

Huh? I don’t see this bit at as anything to do with a level of criticism? It’s comedic set up. “Surpassed his parents” …. Come on now. He does what he does and his parents did what they did. It’s not a big competition for our likes. Love Martin Short. Thanks for posting.
This show needs to be back on the air.. love it.
When Glick forgets their names…gets me every time.
It's especially funny that he got Anne Heche confused with Ben's Mother , Anne Meara , since Anne Heche is 4 years younger than Ben Stiller
5:52 "...so far I'm with ya it's when you kept talking after that my whole life flashed..." lol
I love it when the crew laughs.
Martin Short belongs in that long list of Canadian comedians that is practically universally adored worldwide
She thought she was a lesbian and before you know it, she's talking to Aliens 😂😂😂
I love this interview. Once you get to the ants you realize what you're dealing with.
This character is so absurdly funny, that you can hear the camera crew laughing just out of shot.
Is Short the greatest ever comedy improvisor? I watch these Glick interviews in total awe.
I love you Ben😄
Ben really loved his parents. Good showbiz family.
2:30 Impossible to make it through this without laughing lol. Ben is usually pretty good at keeping his composure, so this was a real delight 🙂
The origin of Between Two Ferns... Martin and Zach bring their own magic to the format. So perfect.
The whole part about Jiminy decapitating ants is hilarious. His facial expressions 'n voice at that part are too much.
@2:14 you can see how Ben truly laughs !!! Jiminy was Classic !! I am now 56 and these guys are my day !!
Lmao. Now I'm picturing Jerry Stiller on "Queer as Folk".
Martin Short a beyond brilliant performer.
Michael Jackson had a dark side and he delt with it...💀💀💀💀
Works on several levels
Jiminy Glick on Between two Ferns would be priceless!
Zach would finally break up. But Zach would get short a few times.
Glick would rule that encounter.
This is between the two ferns
thanks so much for uploading all these videos!
I loved this guy on Queer As Folk!!
No fair, Stiller has his own take on this and trying to play it straight with Jiminy stuck in your face is clever. This is funny stuff, I love 'em all. Martin Short is awesome.
One of his best Jimmy interviews
This is the best of Glick, IMO
Definitely one of his funnier interviews!
It’s hilarious. But I think the one of Ice Cube was masterful. Ditto Mel Brooks.
Jiminy Glick should have been interviewed on Space Ghost Coast to Coast.
I never heard of this character until recently and quickly become a groupie :) love the back n forth between these two
This world needs more Glick.
Ben Stiller was so hot here
"She thought she was a lesbian, and then she thought she was a normal person, and then before you know it she's talking to aliens..."
If RUclips had any sense, they'd knock the high cost/low yield drama series on the head and fork out for 12 × 30 mins Jiminy episodes.
Martin Short is able to make his interviewees laugh, its nice.
Great interaction. I couldn’t stop laughing.
"Michael Jackson had a dark side, and he dealt with it." Slipped right by everyone, apparently.
Nobody has done this better than Stiller. Steve Martin and Jack Black treated the show with a similar kind of respect. It makes it work the best.
These episodes should be back on comedy central. Hes one of the funniest comedians of all time
watched em all 3x now. can#t get enough. i'd pay good money to see a few more episodes.. please, Martin?
Steve Brule and Jiminy Glick are the two funniest comedxy characters ever created.
Stiller slayed me on the Ricky Gervais series Extras and on the bonus interview on the Starsky and Hutch DVD.
amazing. absolutely amazing.
Omg this one is sooooo good! 😆 🤣 😂
Short is wildly funny, of course, in all of the "Out and About" interviews from "Primetime Glick," but a certain amount of credit should also go to whoever edited them for maximum comedic impact - not a second is wasted.

3:08 This part is so funny, the comedic duel, both of them trying not to laugh
Still one of my favourite things on the internet.
Martin Short is one of my FAVS
Id love to see Jiminy interview Martin Short
Brilliant
Just genius
Martin Short is an INTERNATIONAL TREASURE!
I will pray for America. 🇺🇸
Please pray for me. 🙏🏻
God Bless you. ✝️
That whole, just finish your thought dear, and saying, my whole life just flashed, brilliance!
Want him back. Loved this show.
2024. Bring Jiminy back.
This is already the 2nd interview, I've watched today! Martin Short is a comic genius!
Martin Short is a comedy genius. 💗

My only regret in life is that I won't be interviewed by Jimmini and get to play it straight. It seems like fun.
Ben Stiller looking handsome here.
I have a new appreciation for Ben Stiller now.
God almighty Martin Short is sooooo funny!
Hes. Unforgettable
I love John lovitz
"You were on SNL! Ohh I loved you! I LOVED YOUR CHARACTER! 'That's the ticket!' That was wonderful!!! You were WONDERFUL! ON! THAT! SHOW!"
"That was Jon Lovitz"
Oh fuck. I used to watch this late at night when the wife was asleep and just lay there and laugh hysterically. Its great to see it again.
How the hell did Ben stiller even get through that interview without rolling on the ground laughing??!!
