Jiminy Glick Interviews Melissa McCarthy

[@256bassfishing]

We need Jiminy Glick back! This just proves Martin Short was well beyond most people at the time and the time is right to have him back! Martin Short has always been a comedic genius. Love that man!

[@VannaWhiteboard]

I am feeling this too! Just what the doctor ordered.

[@mrblonde1264]

Fully deserves his career renaissance,him and Martin,hilarious

[@AttilatheThrilla]

He’s done a couple recent interviews so I hope so!!

[@mikeb7826]

Yeh, I remember when he was funny…………..just about!

[@JoshuaMartian-go3tm]

I don't know. A few cringe moments. When he gets bested by Melissa, he falls relies on sxl innuendos too much and physical comedy to get back the upper hand. He didn't do that with the men he interviewed. I think maybe, taped and edited is the best for Jiminy, live is too risky. 😁

[@T1J]

im so happy a new generation gets to experience jiminy glick. i used to die laughin at him back in the day

[@leahartlee29]

This interview was such a delight that I needed, and I almost peed my pants it was so funny!! I love Melissa so much!

[@kathleenroberts6931]

Give Jiminy Glick his own show 😂😂😂 Melissa McCarthy & Martin Short are brilliant comedians ❤

[@andreabradley5837]

I've been watching him a lot the past few days. His latest stuff is way more funny than the older stuff. Love it!

[@damienrowley443]

Happy to be a part of the new discovery of his, top notch, work. I knew his name but have been loving all of the new interviews and getting to revisit the older ones. Phenomenal stuff.

[@JC-dk4ny]

She held her own better than most. She stayed right with him, well done Melissa,.

[@lenawagenfuehr53]

I was thinking the same! He finally had a subject who didn't just laugh helplessly

[@Trea-pl4xr]

More than better than most, she is the best I've seen against him.

[@egh423]

She made it less fun to not really laugh

[@HorrorMouth]

She's a trained improvisor, so yes, of course she held her own. Improvisation is one of her greatest skills.

[@shirleymattingly5137]

I am amazed. She's awesome

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

Melissa might be the only person to get Mr Glick to break 😄 These two are freakin magnificent! 🤌🏽

[@veggigoddess]

No, Bill Maher did it just the other night and numerous celebrities have gotten him to break when he had his show in the 90s as well

[@LMW87MMA]

@@veggigoddessnot to be pedantic but just an observation, I notice very often that people refer to things from the early 2000s as “90s” Primetime Glick was 2001-2003

[@thor3279]

one of the best was with Tom Hanks. Jiminy had been chewing a gummy bear that he spit out while chewing and talking explosively. Hanks picked it up and ate it.

[@luzelenakates9340]

This was a first🎉

[@AbsurdlyGeeky]

Melissa McCarthy is a comedy gem and probably a cool human. Shame that trait is not shared among her family.

[@Necrowafer]

I love that Melissa made him break more than once during this interview. 😂😂 They must have had an absolute blast on the Only Murders set.

[@sugaring3921]

Me too it’s like watching bill hader or will farrell break😭👏

[@sweiland75]

@@sugaring3921 LOL That comparison is insulting to Martin.

[@spiralingout13]

She is a beast. So well suited to riff off Jim.. so good.

[@surfwriter8461]

Maybe Jimmy Kimmel's show could contract with Martin Short to do Jiminy Glick interviews once a month exclusively for this show.

[@leahartlee29]

I love that idea!!

[@jutru8782]

Short should platform his own show. He’s that good.

[@primelasst2955]

Wow. Melissa is so good, it reminded me of her brilliant portrayal of Sean Spicer on SNL.

[@maxpower9631]

ya Melissa did a great job of Spicey !

[@leahartlee29]

I love Melissa so much, she is a national treasure, and I laughed so hard here I almost peed my pants. Much needed!! Melissa can literally do anything! So talented!

[@PHILDR85]

😂😂😂 Now I have to go and rewatch those.

[@OriginalCaliKitty]

Her portrayal of Spicer was one of the best things on SNL. I wish she also could have portrayed him later when he was on Dancing with the Stars - in that neon chartreuse shirt that looked like something Desi Arnaz would have worn singing Babalu!

[@TisBaker]

She was the best

[@icebot1]

I can't think of a single other guest who could keep up with Jiminy Glick the way Melissa McCarthy did. What a great performance.

[@yvonnecooper5004]

And not curse... which she was known for.. this takes more effort and skill😮😅😊

[@jfifield20]

No doubt Craig Ferguson and Robin Williams could go toe to toe with Glick as well.

[@MrClitheroe]

Chris Elliot did a pretty good job. Very funny episode.

[@OriginalCaliKitty]

Leave it to Melissa to give improv sass right back to Jiminy. I was hoping someone would do it instead of just laughing at everything Marty says, and Melissa delivered as I knew she would. Love her!

[@sparkythancztwise]

She could do that, I don't doubt it, but I'm pretty certain this was rehearsed to some degree and agreed upon in advance (with flexibility and mutual trust for impromptu gags and/or ad lib). I got the sense that she was coming up with responses on the spot, yet it may be testimony to her acting chops, and might not have been as spontaneous as it played. Either way, absolutely fantastic. Near the end a couple times she showed hints of almost breaking, but she is made of titanium and held up amazingly playing straight to his off the charts antics - until it was the perfect time to smile at the end while pulling his tie.

[@veggigoddess]

Ice Cube did it in the 90s when he was interviewed by Jiminy as well

[@pilamcnu]

Reminds me of his old interview with Catherine O Hara

[@OriginalCaliKitty]

@@sparkythancztwise You may be right, although Melissa's background is in improv. I thought I saw a look on her face at the beginning like, 'OK, this is where we're going? I'm here for it. Bring it.' In any case, I laughed a lot.

[@jacobblumin4260]

Several of Jiminy's interviewees made him work for his pay but were very smooth and fun to watch. My favorites: Jerry Seinfeld, Conan O'Brien and, believe it or not, John McEnroe.

[@rehustler]

Martin and Melissa: This is the crazy chemistry you get when you combine two improv geniuses! Love it!

[@brandogrl]

YEASSS.. AGREE!!!! When I saw the two of them on here, my heart skipped a beat & I knew for me , I'd struck gold! 😁

Bro Martin Short has BEEN at this level nonstop since SCTV.

[@AbsurdlyGeeky]

Binging old VHS recordings of SCTV alone in my room was a true highlight of my teen years.

[@MatthewBrannigan]

'I had to adjust the knobs to see if the picture got any better' - I had to pause for a minute or two to regain my composure after that!

[@lonelyone]

That's such a great line, but it bums me out when the audience pushes back against Jiminy's insult humor.

[@elmo1119]

Lmao I know! I was dying… 😂😂😂😂

[@GlobalYouthandNewsMedia]

Melissa also may have sent a gentle message when she mentioned that she was surprised there weren’t lawsuits. Martin was on the edge a few times. Someone less a “good sport” might have a very legitimate beef.

[@davidadams2395]

​@@lonelyone I laughed, too, but it also made me uncomfortable.

[@suemick8709]

Melissa was great. So quick witted and might be the only guest that really held her own with Jiminy.

[@LindaC616]

Chicago improv

[@BillyReplies]

She ruined the fun. You're not supposed to "hold your own" with Jiminy. She was pointlessly combative and stepped on every possible funny moment. She's the same improv archetype as Michael Scott from that episode of The Office. It was sad. It was cringe. It was a swing and a miss. It was a wet fart in white pants.

[@LindaC616]

@BillyReplies wow...with that laundry, it's a good thing you don't have a woman

[@81chicagoguy]

Search Jiminy Glick interview Catherine O'Hara....she plays with him too, very funny

[@BillyReplies]

@@81chicagoguy Only difference is BUT... Catherine O'Hara is a brilliant comedienne, a star, and an absolute treasure. Melissa, on the other hand, is none of those things. She's just the female face of forgettable R-rated "comedy" movies with no plot, no jokes, no class, and no point. What an astonishingly forgettable "career". She must know someone. Miss O'Hara, again, on the other hand, a treasure. It's a pure and simple distinction a child could recognize.

[@BlackHawk3927]

This is genuinely the most hilarious thing to happen to that couch

[@hutch1197]

Two supremely talented actors challenging each other. I love it.

[@davewebster5120]

This was the perfect interview for Glick. She's a doll, she's royalty and she played it perfectly. I'm glad they did this. She's amazing and he's incorrigible. I'm very interested in season 4.

[@timvanboening9432]

She went toe to toe with him and held her own. She’s a gem!

[@ssinssg]

Catherine O'Hara bested him imo.

[@SteveBluescemi]

Many have, even better than this. Believe it or not, Kathy Lee Gifford was way faster and funnier than Melissa here.

[@81chicagoguy]

@SteveBluescemi Kathie Lee Gifford is really sly and has a sneaky sense of humor... it comes and goes (she can also take herself too seriously or become a huge ham)... Marie Osmond is like that too...like Gifford, a goody goody, but with a legit dark sense of humor, too....
