Jiminy Glick Interviews Ed Begley Jr.

[@rodentcafeteria]

"You make Edgar Winter look swarthy." How does he even think of lines like that? I love this guy!

[@GettnBooted]

ty for loading this it's wonderful...met EBJ in an airport and he couldn't have been nicer. GB.

[@ddt99]

I don't think I've ever seen Ed Begley Jr. have so much fun.

[@Gabagool101]

“Haven’t seen it, eg bagley ladies and gentlemen ” God he’s so fuckin funny with his timing. I’m 28 and I love Martin short

[@danielterry382]

The Danny Kaye award ! Ha Ha !

[@WARTV-dn5fk]

‘they’re not in a Prius saying “look at me I’m in a Prius”’ 🤣

[@n.n.5054]

This is from when Netflix was a mom and pop business.

[@tylertyler82]

Eh they were pretty big then. This is when they took down blockbuster with their DVD rental subscriptions. I wonder if they still have that? 🤔

[@moneymakerbanditsports8423]

Canada is Proud of Martin Short.

[@evanabbott2737]

He’s one of the funniest human beings of all time.👍

[@ezrasky3761]

"that's a wonderful story you just told.." lol

[@RandallChase1]

He just shredded him from the beginning “you won’t know him just by name”… “you won’t win an Oscar” not a chance, lol 😂😂

[@Gabagool101]

I love how his voice cracks with laughter at 5:59

[@carlyoung8657]

Ed has a good sense of humor.I think Jiminy was attacking him like don rickles

[@pascalbenoit6516]

"More food helps" Jiminy is the best!

[@caveatemp]

Netflix really blew it on the audio.

[@InjuriousPersonalities]

Video editing too. Pretty bad

[@WalkingmanPattaya]

Like this fun, funny conversation. Have always respected Ed Begley for his work, comedy, and environmentalism especially ... His is a true example of low carbon footprint living unlike most celebrities...continues 13 years later. Thank you as always Jiminy Martin Short...you are always at the top of your game, or biz, show biz that is

[@SirLeDoux]

I love Ed Begley.

[@joefulham]

Ed begley sn was in patterns and 12 angry men- there,ll never be films that good ever made again.

[@LordTalax]

Netflix couldn't afford an actual studio apparently. They used someone's gym

[@msqundhari]

So funny! He’s sweating thru his jacket! 😂

[@1godonlyone119]

I noticed that too. LOL -- adds a new layer to the "fat guy" persona!

[@saraharmes8540]

They were on the red carpet

[@lukecasio9810]

Lol that Christopher Guest imitation was spot on

[@evanabbott2737]

“Clear the airway!”😂

[@suzanneblaylock9598]

And Mr Begley gives the old hand signal, I feel so comforted.

[@blackkittens.]

It sounds like its being filmed at a school sports day or something so weird

[@GeoffNelson]

Best Jiminy Glick I've seen.

[@canadianroot]

Geoff Nelson Say what? This was porridge, at best. There are tons better than this. For example, Mel Brooks, Alec Baldwin, Ben Stiller, Tim Robbins, and Jeff Goldblum, to name but a few.

[@joeterp5615]

One of the worst I’ve seen. And I think Short knew this wasn’t his best work either. I think he slipped in a self-critique with his line “Well, this has been mediocre.”

[@jarrodbarkley9061]

I've enjoyed watching Ed Begley since he was on St. Elsewhere.

[@Pat52786]

“Old moesha episodes”

[@stevefowler5970]

2:34 I wonder if that was a reference to Martin Shorts' line "Thanks for remembering" when he would go on Letterman

[@truthmonster3290]

Jiminy has strong opinions on the word probably.

[@ianschmidt4262]

Jerry springer looks pretty good

[@onwardsandupwards7397]

Ed Begley Jr is a dear. An absolute dear.

[@k4ir0s]

His first time only needing 1 page ahaha

[@brianmgrim]

The sarcasm on this one is as thick as the lipids on Yiminy's ample abdomen.

[@Knight14649]

"This has been absolutely mediocre"

[@joeterp5615]

I think this was a self-critique that he did while in character. This was not Short’s best work - and he knew it.

[@julietteyork3721]

Impossible to hear. Too bad they couldn’t find a quiet space to film this.

[@VIRACYTV]

I have Ed Begley Jr’s phone number in my cell. Which is also the most Jiminy Glick thing I can say.

[@wouldntyouliketoknow1477]

Was this filmed at a ball game??

[@Pags54]

No one can ever say that d Begley Jr. doesn't have a sense of humor.

[@joeterp5615]

I think Short was being truthful with how he felt when he said, “this has been mediocre.” I think he was critiquing himself a bit. He wasn’t quite as sharp as usual. He stayed with the ongoing joke of Begley never winning an Academy Award (or any award) for too long in this one. He kept mining that… even though it didn’t have much legs after the first quip. Not one of his better Glick bits.

[@r3b3lvegan89]

Idk man, Ed broke when jiminy leaned in to say “you’re old news”

[@vokost]

Yes, and not really doing the voice like he used to, esp. in that bit.

[@David_7171]

I never knew Netflix was around 20 years ago

[@danman1809]

Jimmy sounds like Martin Short

[@nicknewell23]

he mentioned "flavor of love" was he referencing the show with flava flave?

[@bradynorris1653]

The pause at 1:34, lol.

[@flamephlegm]

Marty is slipping out of character a bit here. The voice is almost pure Marty with some Jiminy flourishes.

[@robertgoldstein52]

Martin Short voice morn than usual

[@theronhayden4671]

Glick DESTROYED this guy

[@emansnas]

Yeah if he wasn't such a dork fuck nitwit I might've almost felt sorry for him

[@DoomKid]

@@emansnas Do you need a hug or something dude?

[@emansnas]

Staaaan Sitwelllll…

[@jacobmorris3664]

The Danny Kaye Award for dating Laurence Olivier 🙂

[@Barnaclebeard]

He lost the voice a couple times, just sounded like Marty.

[@texaslyoness8537]

I love Jiminy Gluck, but he was a bit cruel here. Martin says he never jokes about real things, like calling a fat person fat, however of course Ed probably won’t ever win an Oscar. I just thought he went s big too hard in this one. Ed was such a great sport about it.

[@emansnas]

Naw, he didn't go far enuf, didn't even get thru all the insulation around Begley's small brain

[@danhermon4922]

It is comedy and Ed Begley is an actor.

[@joeterp5615]

Yeah, the first quip was okay, but he stayed with it way too long. I think he knew this wasn’t his best work, and even self-critiqued himself while in character. “Well, this was mediocre.”

[@neptuniumforest]

This is soo mean lol..poor guy

[@julietteyork6293]

Ed Begley is one of the most hilarious comedic actors. His roles in “For Your Consideration” and “A Mighty Wind” had me in stitches. When he speaks Yiddish in the latter it’s hysterical.

[@skullingtonturtle8080]

Tim & Eric’s Cinco Phone spot is the funniest thing in the history of man.

[@bradynorris1653]

He was brilliant in his Portlandia appearances as well.

[@ezrc9294]

with you it will be a debt collector -

[@alanmalcheski8882]

he must've learned from Al Franken and David Coppafeel.

[@paddle_shift]

Because Martin Short is Canadian Netflix wouldn't pay for microphones.

[@urmaisgay6495]

whats up with his voice?!

[@kathrynmolesa1641]

Mouth to mouth.

Jiminy you’re being so mean!!

[@christopherloffert880]

I thought ed died in a bizarre gardening accident

[@thewhitedeath586]

This Netflix idea was garbage. The crowd makes this unwatchable

[@mattgoldberg4335]

I respect martin Short's great talents - and I like the great majority of the Jiminy Glick interviews - but this one wasn't great. It really puts the interviewee (though most are in on the joke) in a tough position. Begley is great at improv, and seems like a very nice guy, but this one wasn't so good.

[@carlyoung8657]

your old news.

[@tomitstube]

forgot about ed begley jr., he was ahead of most of us. turns out he was absolutely right about all of it, and now we're going to pay.

[@emansnas]

NO, he was absolutely left, but you got the "...we're going to pay" part right. And no, it won't even be close to being worth it. Do the nation a favor, forget about him again.

[@DoomKid]

@@emansnas Ahhh, so you’re one of those anti-environment types.. it all makes sense now

[@emansnas]

@@DoomKid Don't jump so far to conclusions kid, you could hurt yourself

[@joelalexander4513]

@@emansnas mr love knife, himself.

[@canadianroot]

One of the most mediocre, that’s for sure. There are plenty of Glick interviews that put this one to shame.

[@stumack9755]

marty didnt even stay n character for most of it.

[@gregmiell3037]

Short is in his own voice most of the time...sub-par

[@aussiejubes]

I think they were doomed to a bad vibe thanks to being at a footy game or something. How distracting for them. I think they did a pretty good job considering.

[@joeterp5615]

Yes, this was poor.

[@saucepanclangerclub2035]

It must have been fun and satisfying to use the conceit of comedy cheekiness to accurately highlight how ridiculous is the pantheon of pompous and pointless Green gods.

[@polecat4599]

Well said!

[@polecat4599]

It was great to see Jiminy skewer this holier-than-thou virtue signaler, the only time the brutality didn't actually go far enough! All dad must have gone home that night and took a long hard look in the mirror and didn't like what he saw

[@jiensuyang3915]

not so Secret club of homosexuals .

[@somethingyousaid5059]

lol

[@Radioscope]

Never got into Jiminy Glick. Just too nasty. Nothing at all like Skip E. Lowe. Short should’ve stayed with Brock Linahan. IMHO, that’s a much funnier character.

[@MMAMedia-hh7sn]

Jiminy Glick is the american version of Ricky Gervais

[@TheRealHucasys]

Clearly not a good vibe around.

[@BluesLicks101]

Ed Begley is a total bore.

[@joeterp5615]

Short was the bore - he did not take this one in a funny direction. And I think he knew it.

[@KarstensCreationsKC]

Jiminy can be SOOOO mean, LOL

[@stephenshanebeaty]

These live ones they did suck. He doesn't stay in the character's voice. He goes in and out of it. And it's obvious he doesn't know what to say, cause you can see him fumbling trying to think of something because he wasn't prepared. His regular ones are the funniest thing you'll ever see, but I haven't found one of these live ones that's been any good.
