Jiminy Glick Interviews Steven Spielberg

[@stevencramsie9172]

"Yeah but I've seen it, you just produced it." There are SO many layers as to why that line is hilarious, especially for two men who are very familiar with Hollywood and show business. So freaking good.

[@danielplainview4778]

Agreed that’s a hidden gem of a joke

[@stephaniecarrow4898]

Yes, and it's clear by Spielberg's reaction that he gets the point. A great line indeed, and fun to watch them share the inside joke.

[@patrickthomas8890]

I honestly don’t get the joke…what did it mean?

[@stephaniecarrow4898]

​@@patrickthomas8890My take on it is that producers underwrite a film and put their name on it, but are not necessarily intimately involved in making it. Spielberg might be more involved than some. Anyway, that's how I took it.

[@RedLP5000S]

A producer is the fella that shells out the $$ so that the film can be made.

[@britturk123]

"You've made so many films when are you gonna do the big one", gets me every time.

[@clubbedsandwich1128]

Dude literally is behind almost every iconic film from the 80's and 90's while still pumping out hits today. lmao

[@deepdirt]

Yeah for christ sake he did “The Color Purple” how much bigger does it get. Easily his most memorable film

[@ad8554]

@@deepdirt that's what you think his most memorable movie is? I mean yeah it's good but it's no JAWS or JURASSIC PARK....but to each their own.

Second only to asking Mel Brooks what his beef is with the Nazis.

😂😂😂😂😂

[@lostlakpaul]

I love that Steven played it straight. Makes it all the more funny.

[@lockebrady8005]

The perfect Glick guest: calmly correct, play along, try not to laugh too much. DO NOT TRY TO BE FUNNIER THAN JIMINY. Mr. Spielberg nailed it.

[@troyarmstrong434]

Great observation.

[@LisaMitchellGD]

He did..this is my all time favourite Glick interview

[@markokkare]

So true!

[@anonymousrex8088]

Same rules as for the Colbert Report

[@enem54321]

i disagree - this is dry AF

[@claudes.whitacre1241]

Spielberg keeping a straight face and continuing with his story...as Short slides out of his chair an back into it...is perhaps the funniest thing I've ever seen. Martin Short is a genius. And I had no idea Spielberg would be able to perform that well.

[@bbqvocalist]

I've mined KZbin for every Jiminy Glick video ~ and this one is my favorite. Martin Short is on top of his game with the perfect balance of hilarious cerebral calisthenics and comic physical humor. Steven Spielberg is the *perfect* straight man.

[@jjryan1352]

Yeah perfect....some would say dull.

[@Stu_Kennedy]

My favourite was Ricky Gervais. But I don’t think it’s on KZbin.

[@adonaiyah2196]

Its the best

[@WhitneyHaverstock]

You, some, um, verbose lady? Sweet. Yeah, Jiminy Glick is nigh resplendent. I too am long under his thrall. I'm like, finding all the videos and saving them today. Leaving long replies to comments from 6 years ago.

[@colleenoconnor4099]

I love the one with Larry David so much

[@aussiejubes]

That Spielberg understood his role & kept talking earnestly about his craft (keeping good pace) when Flick took off for the food table, is wonderful! This interview alone shows that Spielberg "gets it". No wonder he's so successful 💝

[@porflepopnecker4376]

That sequence was edited. Martin Short did the part with Jiminy sneaking away to eat later and it was edited in.

[@jjryan1352]

[@RyderDavis]

Spielberg: Well, I produced the movie. I produced The Money Pit. Glick: I know, but I've seen it, and you just produced it.

[@Eisenwulf666]

oddly enough, it's funny because there's a glimpse of truth in the joke: many producers only see a cut of the actual movie or some scenes the director wants to show them. That wasn't the case with Spielberg of course, but it happens more than we think.

[@JohnWesleyDowney]

Glick, "Unless you're specific no one can follow your story." LOL He's telling one of the world's greatest storytellers how to tell a story! Priceless.

[@LisaMitchellGD]

JohnWesley Downey 🤣

[@headlesssoldier]

spielberg totally plays it perfectly when he goes into the craft of movie making while jiminy is bored and getting something to eat.

[@rubenhackler6582]

One of the best displays of being bored.

[@roomforthefiiixins2491]

lmfao the army crawl back to his seat took me out

[@Omegaman18]

It was edited. He didn’t actually crawl away while he was speaking. That’s why he didn’t break

[@porflepopnecker4376]

I suspect Spielberg was allowed to ramble like that so Martin could do the shots of him sneaking off to eat later and then edit them into Spielberg's interminable story.

[@rerecycled7507]

I read this before I saw it and having seen what he did described as "getting something to eat" made it all the more hilarious.

[@slc2466]

"Schindler's Express" with Goldie Hawn- get on it, Steven, it'll click with the public.

[@Ruben-GG]

Who knew Spielberg was such a great improv partner! I guess being a director, he knew what to give for the scene to be funny.

Never expected him to be one of his best guests. That was awesome.

Kudos to Steven Spielberg to ham it up with Martin Short as Jiminy Glick since their work on 'Innerspace.'

[@TitoTimTravels]

This and the Alec Baldwin interview are great!. Too many people fall apart and can't handle Glick.

[@chadopitz6883]

The part where Glick rolls down the chair to escape for food and then rolls back up it is so damn funny

[@BenRangel]

2:44 low how Stephen just cracks from this point on. And I can see why. It's just a straight line of good jokes. "I've seen it, you just produced it", "you've made so many films - when are you gonna do the big one?", "when we were in make-up and you were getting your hands done", "your grammar is spotty"

[@T.E.P..]

getting your hands done and Steven looking at his hands .... soooo much great comedy

[@blackie75]

Holy fuck that was hilarious. I still think Jiminy might be the funniest character of all time, I belly laugh no matter how many times I watch these interviews, even if I'm unhappy at the time and you can't say that about many things in life that's for sure....at least I can't.

[@coma13794]

2:53 "you've done so many films, when are you going to do the big one?" His face when he asks is incredible. "... something that clicks with the public."

[@greasemonkey1228]

Spielberg is great here. He's blushing from controlling his laughter, and yet he plays it straight. The final bit where Glick slinks out of his chair in boredom so he can stuff his face while Spielberg earnestly answers the question Glick has no interest in - what a funny piece of improv teamwork. Compare this with the interview with Jerry Seinfeld, who decided beforehand to insult Glick in order to avoid being made fun of. Like shooting fish in a barrel. Seinfeld could learn something about humility from Spielberg. It makes for better comedy.

[@wiggywil]

BINGO!!

[@israel9387]
