Jiminy Glick Interviews Jon Stewart

[@gswhipkey1]

The sight of Jiminy unconsciously stuffing donuts into his mouth as Jon Stewart recounts his addiction and feelings of emptiness is one of the greatest strokes of spontaneous comedic genius I've ever seen

[@franklesser5655]

It's almost as if he is exhibiting an addiction to eating donuts as he listens to an account of an addiction to cigarettes.

[@KoH4711]

Spontaneous? I mean, a pile of donuts don't just appear on tables lol

[@KoH4711]

@@franklesser5655 That's the joke lol Jon Stewart points it out when he says "I don't know if you can relate..." as he's describing cigarettes and Martin Short's stuffing his faces. Great stuff

[@asdrubalanibal6853]

@@KoH4711 The pile of donuts is a fixture in every Show’s ‘interview’ and of Jiminy Glick’s character. How it’s used and played by both M.S. and J.S. on this scene is what’s spontaneous.

Some , not all, of the celebrities in the beginning of the interview act like 'What is this all about? I'm gonna play it straight' but Jiminy winds up cracking all of them up at some point. Quite an achievement.

"How did you handle sadness?" *stuffs a whole donut into mouth*

[@SteveSingsThings]

I can’t believe this wasn’t rehearsed. It’s perfect. “Imagine if you were in real show business. Where would you be then?”Jon looks down ashamed.

[@tdot6166]

The paralleling that Jon and Martin do in that smoking/eating bit is amazing; almost so perfect it seemed it had to be rehearsed; but I think it just developed; Jon deserves a lot of credit for his perfect timing in that. And for Martin to be able to actually eat big donuts (those were big) like that is fantastic.

[@ramyhuber8392]

I kept thinking are those donuts actually going in his mouth...

[@cmase1991]

When Jon handed Martin that second donut you could tell he really loved it hahaha so perfect

[@leviticalorder]

Yes the undertones were perfect!

Jon wasn't talking about himself. Oy.

[@samuelkglen1]

@@TJamesBellhe was talking about his addiction to cigarettes. The whole thing is satire/parody. Thanks for the input tho.

[@TJamesBell]

@@samuelkglen1 Jon was referring to Glick's eating disorder as he repeatedly stuffed donuts in his mouth, under the guise of his quitting smoking. Nothing takes the funny out of a subtle joke than having to explain it to someone. It's DOA now. "filling the empty void of sadness", "substituting cigarettes to replace depression and low self-worth", etc... Sorry to tell you chief, but the subtlety went over your head. Go back and watch it again.

Four years ago tragedy struck my family. Unfortunately, my mom,younger sister,and my grandmother passed away all in two years. I remember Jiminy's interviews ended up on my feed and clicked on it and I belly laughed so hard I began to cry because I never believed I would laugh again. I truly respect Martin Short for his comedic abilities and if I were to ever meet him I would probably cry like a big baby and thank him for helping me through a difficult time in my life 😭❤

Speaking of addictions, I can't stop watching Glick vids. And I don't plan to quit! Short is a legend, funniest man on the planet.

[@Ritwika-Saha]

I just realised how meta all this is. Jon speaking of his addiction to fill a hole within himself whilst Jiminy cluelessly stuffs his mouth with his addiction to fill a whole within himself whilst all of us viewers laugh at the both of them trying to fill a hole within our own selves. Jiminy has been a great friend in dark times.

3:44 to 3:45 is one of the funniest single seconds ever. Besides Glick cramming a donut like he's vandalizing a drain, the sound has two musical notes: C# and Bb. Set your cursor on 3:44 and click it right when the sound ends. It's like a Nine Inch Nails remix. Stewart's a trooper; I would've passed out laughing.
