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.
Obviously you don't have a clue to have asked that. And that's just fine. People who understand comedy, especially something as furiously fast and unscripted like that, well it needs no explanation but to be marveled.
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.
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. :)
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.
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.
Short messed up when he asked what it’s like to be the daughter of famous people. Props to Ben for rolling with it. I suppose he could have blocked, but the energy was going in a certain direction, and it could have derailed the bit.
"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.
@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
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.
'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
"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 UA-cam 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.
"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"
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’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
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."
one of the best, ben being the perfect straight man, except when he couldn't stop laughing. thought this would be the time someone asked jiminy if he was related to crickett... then jiminy could just stare at him.... crickets....
"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.
this had me in literal tears - lol!
"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
“Michael Jackson had a dark side and he dealt with it”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
LMAO
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 🤣
Oh and here I was thinking it was scripted.
"Why do I decapitate ants?" LOL
The answer to that would requires years of analysis. 😀
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".
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.
How is this funny.......?
Obviously you don't have a clue to have asked that. And that's just fine. People who understand comedy, especially something as furiously fast and unscripted like that, well it needs no explanation but to be marveled.

you are right, hilarious
LOL
the disrespect is nonstop - it’s amazing stuff - the spielberg interview has me in stitches
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 hilarious
How far through your glick binge did you stumble across this gem? Me, about 4 episodes in

About 20. Help me.

2:11 the best part! 🤣
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.
kudos to Stiller for playing it straight for awhile.
Always love hearing the crew laughing in the background

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?
@@ceapyThe bit works when there’s chemistry between them. But you knew that already.
@@ceapy Yes, always. Didn't you know?
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.
Short messed up when he asked what it’s like to be the daughter of famous people. Props to Ben for rolling with it. I suppose he could have blocked, but the energy was going in a certain direction, and it could have derailed the bit.

got to admit.....that's Gold
That “Queer as Folk” comment always cracks me up!
“King of queens”
“Oh that’s what they are calling it now”
Lmao 😂
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
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.

"She was chanting for a while. That's how I found her". That line is gold.
She thought she was a lesbian and before you know it, she's talking to Aliens 😂😂😂
5:52 "...so far I'm with ya it's when you kept talking after that my whole life flashed..." lol
I love this interview. Once you get to the ants you realize what you're dealing with.
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
Ben is so handsome here. I absolutely love his smile . ❤️
"I'll squash an ant, i'll cut his head off and DECAPITATE IT!"
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.
Is Short the greatest ever comedy improvisor? I watch these Glick interviews in total awe.
The best thing EVER on television. Martin Short as Jiminy Glick.
Is that his real fat, and why would any guest subject him-or-herself to this show anyway?
I love how he goes right to the end....."you can let go now,
touching is too needy"
Ben Stiller’s great
“Michael Jackson had a dark side and he dealt with it!”
💀🤣
Michael Jackson had a dark side and he delt with it...💀💀💀💀
Works on several levels
wonderful chemistry
Yes, they’re both maestros of their craft. Like they’re playing a duet.
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.
"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.
This character is so absurdly funny, that you can hear the camera crew laughing just out of shot.
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 🙂
Welp, this is my 8th Jiminy Glick video in a row. Send help.
TPF - Theology, Philosophy, & Fun are you down here too? It’s dark and I can’t see anything
When Glick forgets their names…gets me every time.
"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 UA-cam 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.
The whole part about Jiminy decapitating ants is hilarious. His facial expressions 'n voice at that part are too much.
Lmao. Now I'm picturing Jerry Stiller on "Queer as Folk".
Martin Short belongs in that long list of Canadian comedians that is practically universally adored worldwide
Still one of my favourite things on the internet.
"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"
Evidence Martin Short is a legend.
Martin Short a beyond brilliant performer.
I love it when the crew laughs.
I'd forgotten about the crew laughing, until I started watching these reruns. It is cute, I really like it.
You can’t fail anonymously.
Michael Jackson had a dark side and he dealt with it LOL
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.
@2:14 you can see how Ben truly laughs !!! Jiminy was Classic !! I am now 56 and these guys are my day !!
1:31: And because you were Jerry Stiller's son, THAT CARRIED A LOT OF WEIGHT ON YOOOOOUUUU!
😅So funny...
He's on the series "Queer as Folk"😅
Why do i decapitate ants?
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
Ben Stiller looking handsome here.
That's a backhanded compliment.
Do you have demons, Ben Stiller?
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
Ben Stiller was so hot here
It looked like Shih Tzu. My little wiener. 😂
"King of Queens" would be a good name for a show about gay people :)
Ben really loved his parents. Good showbiz family.
How the hell did Ben stiller even get through that interview without rolling on the ground laughing??!!
The origin of Between Two Ferns... Martin and Zach bring their own magic to the format. So perfect.
This is perhaps the highest his waist has ever been. Truly a feat of modern engineering
This show needs to be back on the air.. love it.
“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
"It's in my book, if you wanna pick it up, it's on tape."
2024. Bring Jiminy back.
It happened!!
Jiminy Glick should have been interviewed on Space Ghost Coast to Coast.
God almighty Martin Short is sooooo funny!
His tongue lashing rant against Ben that ends "you shouldnt hang around "in this interview us clearly his #1 all time!!!!
That quick Michael Jackson joke was a zinger
Can I uuuse that can u uuuse that
I dunno why, but Ben saying "microsurgery" about the ant decapitation cracked me up in particular.
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."
it's always like being trapped on a rollercoaster with Glick
Great interaction. I couldn’t stop laughing.
These episodes should be back on comedy central. Hes one of the funniest comedians of all time
Martin Short is able to make his interviewees laugh, its nice.
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.
OT, but Ben is so attractive.
Steve Brule and Jiminy Glick are the two funniest comedxy characters ever created.
the ant beheading exchange, and when he says liz smith thought his little weiner looked like a shitzu. golden comedic brilliance.
Why do I decapitate ants?
hes talking about Michael Jackson's lighter skin over the years. Dealing with the 'dark side' meaning he's no longer black lol.
yes we know

Wow, I just read that Ann Heche is dead, and Jiminy even mentions her in this clip, what a weird coincidence.
