Jiminy Glick (Martin Short) Interviews Mel Brooks in a Talk Show Parody


In May 2003, comedian Martin Short, playing his role as interviewer Jiminy Glick, got to ask comedy legend Mel Brooks a series of questions about his life and his most popular shows.

The interview was one of many conducted by Short wearing a fat suit on his series of talk show parodies. The common thread of the interviews, which ran from 2001 to 2003 on TV, was that the Glick character usually knows nothing about his guests and hurls veiled insults at them during his interviews.

The interview covered many bases and aspects of Brooks' life, including living in poverty in Brooklyn and singing Dancing in the Dark in the wrong key in the Catskills.
