I agree!!! He's also great in Only Murders in the Building. He and Steve Martin have a special comical chemistry that really shines through. 😊

Bring him baaaacckk!!

What we got sleepy stumbling Joe

@@miked8227so you just gotta trot that out anywhere you go huh? god you people are sad

Am I the only one who needs a Glick fix?!

​@@miked8227Pathetic dude. Get back in your echo chamber of ignorance.

Billy Bob Thornton for sure!

He should talk to Jared Leto

@@SCOTTIEBEAUTIFUL "So I hear you're a cult leader. How exotic! Do you have a town or compound yet?"

Bro I died at that part he's too funny to much to take in.

Bruce Willis.

Banger

I always found his material to be short on laughs.

Lightening

I place Martin Short Among The Greatest Comedians Ever. I hated he wasn't given more roles. Seems he was blackballed.

Definitely an underrated actor/comedian. I remember the days of early Evening at the Improv. Very witty fella.

Lonnie Dobbins III , if you notice, he was bust some people’s ball’s. There is truth in comedy. The comedians and actors, that didn’t take it seriously were spared. But he destroyed a few people with his quick wit , combined with their ego’s. Martin Short is a quick study and comedic genius. He’s Canada’s version of Mark Twain.

@@williamshelton4318 And also theyre in on the joke and playing straight.

While it's true Martin Short is very quick-witted and clever, there's also another dimension to his admirable skill: he's constantly coming up with (and writing down) new ideas, jokes, funny words or turns of phrase, and other comedic stuff that he can "plug in" to various situations as needed. That's the case with most professional comedians: they have a "store" of material they've previously prepared, which can be plugged into various scenarios as needed. It's part of what makes them such good comedians.

@@yorickstrangefield2976 You basically described anyone who’s competent at improvising in any given field 🙂

Not really a fan of Mel Brooks, but I appreciate who he is. And to make him say "give me a second" ... Gods I love Martin Short.

Yorick you are right on the money. He has his lines ready to go. I've actually heard Martin use the same lines before. He's on of a kind. Not just someone who improvises like this dimwit in the comments thinks lol

😂

hes a very sad person

@@lovebug9696 who'se a sad person? What?

8:17 😂 I’m out

@@lovebug9696 Grandad? Is that you? You now damn well that nanna said no KZfaq for you after medication!

What's your beef with the Nazis?

@@typazon oh I don’t know, I think they’re rude

Yes. Exactly.

And Jerry Seinfeld

Basically...if you laughed..."you're" the one that's good. But if they let him get in your mind...and can't laugh him out of it...yer buried...

I somehow find myself using this phrase a lot now.. if only people got the reference 😂

the way he shifts pitch from really high to low or visa-versa is like comedy jazz. i dont know how it works but his timing is perfect

I was a teen when this show aired in ‘01 to ‘03 & Martin’s Jiminy character, was the pure joy from a rare comic genius I needed

​@@ince55antYou describe him perfectly?

Well, they were rude

@@RideAcrossTheRiver No it’s called comedy. Because it’s obvious what anyones beef is.

hysterical.

@@seeleygirl6178 Nature is quoting what Mel said in response.

He slayed mel brooks. Dude was so caught off guard he had no choice lol

Highly doubt that

This was considered extremely nasty at the time, "big" celebrities were generally treated like ancient dieties in the 90s.

It would be great to see Tom Cruise so Glick

I think it's because Martin Short is friends with most of them he interviewed as Jiminy glick

Yep he knows how to take it right up to the line without crossing it

With a few exceptions like calling Alec Baldwin "next door to an ape" LOL! Then again....given how he talked to his daughter in that phone message, perhaps that was appropriate.

He is most definitely not underrated. Have you been living under a storm drain?

I think people use underated too loosely these days. It's a sign of the teenager. Be careful they eat chips and don't work but somehow have a lot of coin.

Huh. There's actually a helicopter pad atop a nearly inaccessible mesa in northern New Mexico.... owned by the Church of Scientology.

What a joy.

Where did you get to see him in the '70s?

@@FloraWest Seriously, he was on SCTV with greats like John Candy Eugene Levy Catherine O'Hara Harold Ramis and Rick Moranis. Although as someone raised in Canada it's been in reruns since it ended so you see it no matter what generation lol, probably not as big elsewhere.

@@JellyBabie1984 I was/am a *huge* SCTV fan. I would watch it and tape it and watch it again when we got it in the States. I had articles about it in a scrapbook. But Martin Short wasn't a cast member until the early '80s. He joined...maybe the second season they were broadcast on NBC? I remember he came a bit later than Candy/Flaherty/Levy/Martin/Moranis/O'Hara/Thomas. (I know earlier casts had Ramis and also Robin Duke and Tony Rosato, who were later on some not great seasons of SNL). Anyway! Sorry for that trip down memory lane. The point is Martin Short wasn't on SCTV in the '70s. I was just wondering if he was on another show that didn't make it out of Cananda. Would love to see it.

@@FloraWest I remember him as Johnny Del Bravo on the David Steinberg show on CTV and on Ferguson, Short, and Ross on TV Ontario, both before he went to SCTV.

YES I THOUGHT THIS 2🖤🖤

The whole time Martin Short n Zach Galifianakis are just grilling each other that would be gold🥺😭

Beat me to it

but better.

interesting how people steal stuff...

"whom he grew up watching on TV"?? Who here was older than him, besides Mel Brooks?

@@m1l1t1am1ke Oh, you misunderstood me there. Jiminy Glick the character is a spoof of several talk show hosts of the 50s through the 80s (like Merv Griffin, Johnny Carson, Dinah Shore, Mike Douglas), but I suspect that a lot of the personality Martin Short did as Glick was based on the demeanor and mannerisms of Merv Griffin. I was not talking about the celebs here that Martin Short is having fun disrespecting playfully. Hope this clarifies things.

@@eduardo_corrochio There's a public-access guy from back in the day who was named Skip E. Lowe that some say was the real-life Jiminy (at least in part).

@@773SleepyHollow Very possible.

It’s never too late to start.

That was my favorite part. He makes a good point.

its finest

Are Canadian's eligible for that? Serious question.

He could win the Stephen Leacock award

@@dylanthomas261 Good point. I doubt it. But Short has duo citizenship anyway..

@@dylanthomas261 Lorne Michaels won

Don't piss them off, it's the Mark Twain "prize".

No one is pissed off, how do you people get this so wrong 🤣🤣🤣

@@fomofud9479 Dude, they're actors, you can't use that 'Spot--The-Emotion' picture chart you'd normally rely on.

@@krankyjsmith9780 exactly!! They're actors, they know exactly what type of show this is. What kind of idiot would take a show like this seriously or even worse believe that the actors do 🤣🤣🤣. Oh dear lord....

@@fomofud9479 Because Martin Short busts balls like no-one else on earth, and as Jimminy Glick he is vicious. Of course they know it's a joke, but most are caught off-guard. They have to pretend to be all cool with it, but look for the subtle clues that they're not. Sorry -- 'subtle' means 'not obvious'.

@@krankyjsmith9780lol, you're creating scenarios in your head that just aren't there. I think you're projecting because of the emptiness you feel in your life.

I wonder what it's like living with him. He seems like a nice person, but I wonder if it's hard to take him seriously.

Exactly. Alec Baldwin was not a good sport.

@@marygoodson4920 He gave it a shot

@@captain_hat6247 lol i see what you did there

@@marygoodson4920 yes he was. He plays along. Watch his whole interview. He stands him down on purpose. Actually got Short to crack for a second.

🤣🤣🤣

I wonder what powdering his hands was for. Any ideas? Maybe talc after a bath? Or makeup?

😂

​@@cragerzzPowdering your hands use to be lingo for doing a bump of yayo

When I started watching the CC show, I thought Jiminy was a real person. I didn't know who Martin Short was. I loved his show.

that shit killed me Cubes reaction was gold too

Dale Carnegie "nothing sounds so sweet to a person's ear as his name"

Ice who?

I got nervous for him.

and Ice Cube gave a little smile (which he usually avoided) Great moment.

I had a similar thought

There is also The Eric Andre show which is a little more absurdist but it has some similar concepts.

Exactly

Between 2 ferns is funny but its an entirely scripted show. Jiminy is literally off the cuff the entire time. This is next level comedic talent from Short

That part killed me haha

It’s when Johnny Carson called him a funny guy.

His two "take downs" of Jerry Seinfeld, ARE EPIC!!!

Who so desperately need it...

Lol ..... its not real you silly sod 🤣🤣🤣

@@gadgetsage I love how these celebrities live in your head rent free

@@stevencramsie9172 is that the sort of comment that passes for intelligent or witty in your social circle?

He really wants to derote

its like watching don rickles cubed. i never really thought insult comedy was all that funny until i saw jiminy. and i still think he is the only one who really pulls it off, with the exception of ricky gervais at the golden globes. i think part of the formula (besides m. short being funnier and wittier than d. rickles in pretty much every way) is that rickles was up on stage punching down at his audience of helpless strangers, while jiminy is going toe to toe with some of the funniest people on the planet and mops the floor with them every time. also, jiminy is such an out of touch loser that no one feel envious of him, which i think is key. jiminy can never punch down, because he is the bottom of the barrel.

Don Rickles

The handshake and sniff is such a funny bit.

Same

Not even Sean Hayes?

I don't know; today's crop are pretty full of themselves.

​@@shuroom57and the celebrities then weren't? 😂

@@amaravazquez8591 It's worse now.

@@shuroom57i honestly don’t think it is. Some of them are full of themselves, some of them aren’t as it’s always been

Glick is "passive aggressive".

they are both Paul Lynde

Oh, thaaaat’s why I love him.

💀

👌🏼🤣🤣🤣🤣

Even Clooney says that, hardly original, dear

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

He's VERY underrated

Nobody can do what Martin Short does half as well. He's so convincing.

This is The funniest character ever. Unfortunately comedy Central never really distributed the episodes so all the versions you can find are this shitty VHS quality. But in between the interviews on the comedy Central show there were like sketches with his family and stuff so there's a ton more content than what you can find on KZfaq, it's just locked in some mystery box somewhere

Very underrated. I wish he was younger than he is now.

In what fucking world is Martin Short underrated? How young are you people?
