History Series / PrimetimeGlick

* CanadaEh: During the Eugene Levy interview, Jiminy makes tons of stereotypes about Canada, which Levy has to refute.

In-between the interviews were "Jiminy's Home Movies" (featuring Jan Hooks as Dixie, his chain-smoking, drinking, pill-dependent wife), "Lalawood Fables" (marionette reenactments of grisly Hollywood murders and other scandals), and fake commercials and trailers. Some arguably verged on [[DudeNotFunny being tasteless]] (Jiminy pretending to be an Asian stereotype at Bob Jones University) or [[FunnyAneurysmMoment not being as funny due to recent events]] (the Tom Green/Osama Bin Laden sketch being a prime example- keep in mind it was filmed only a few months before 9/11), but there were plenty of hilarious ones like the film parody "An American Pope" (featuring Martin Short as Creator/TommyLeeJones!) and Adrian's "Harp Accompaniment For Your Sensual Massage" CD, among others.

* {{Corpsing}}: In a "Jiminy's Home Movies" where Jiminy worked with a personal trainer at the gym, Jiminy said something that made Jan Hooks (who played Dixie) laugh, but Dixie was supposed to be upset in that moment. By happy coincidence, Hooks put her hands over her face to make it look like her character Dixie was crying instead of covering her laughing face.

* WhosOnFirst: When Jiminy interviewed Creator/GeorgeWendt, he said, "Your name is like an Creator/AbbottAndCostello routine: 'George Wendt.' 'Where?'"
* YouHaveToHaveJews: Referenced in TheMovie:
--> '''Glick''': You're one of the few Jews who's really made it in the business.\\
'''Steve Martin''': Well actually, I'm not Jewish.\\
'''Glick''': But you KNOW Jewish people.\\
'''Steve Martin''': Yes, I do.\\
'''Glick''': And you've used those connections; I can't imagine you wouldn't.\\
'''Steve Martin''': (chuckles) Well, what are you saying? You're, uh...\\
'''Glick''': I think it's, I think it's necessary to use any ethnic group. If I had an agent who was a Muslim... ''I'd use him.''\\
'''Steve Martin''': Well you're... you're coming off really really well.

* ItIsPronouncedTropay: In his interview with Chevy Chase, Jiminy said he's broken a "capillery".

--> '''Glick''': SSSSSHHHH. I have more questions.
--> '''Falco''': Sorry. (long pause as Glick angrily stares at her)
--> '''Glick''': If you ''keep'' interrupting me, while I'm trying to interview, how can I possibly double task? I can't double task! You ''expect'' too much from me, girl! (another long pause) I don't mean to get heavy, and I know you're my guest, but that's ''wrong''. And I want you to talk to your psychic or your shrink, or to your ''God'', God forbid you should go to church, and ''question'' why you would interrupt me! Thank you very much.

** In the same episode, before Brad Garrett's interview, Adrian hurt his neck earlier, so he's in a neck brace. After ending the transition song, he holds his neck and says, "Aw, son of a (bitch!) Mother(fucker!)"

* YourCheatingHeart: Jiminy apparently slept with Lorraine Bracco after she mentioned she had a room upstairs. Jiminy bribed the cameramen and sound guy to keep their mouths shut.

-->-- '''Jerry Seinfeld''', to Jiminy Glick

--> '''Adrian''': I'm Adrian Van Voorhees, and am I the only one who needs a Glick fix?
--> '''Audience''': No! We do!
--> '''Adrian''': Damn straight! Ladies and gentlemen, Jiminy Glick!

''Primetime Glick'' was a comedy series that aired on Creator/ComedyCentral from 2001 to 2003. It starred Martin Short (in a fat suit and convincing facial make-up) as clueless interviewer Jiminy Glick, who would fawn over celebrities, despite knowing next to nothing about them (and frequently getting facts about them wrong). He also had a penchant for unknowingly insulting whoever he talked to. Jiminy was joined by his bandleader, Adrian Van Voorhees (Creator/MichaelMcKean), who took the brunt of his abuse. An elderly, cranky woman named Miss Gathercole (also played by Short) appeared in the studio audience of every show and often shouted complaints at Glick.

* BerserkButton: Jiminy chews out Edie Falco merely for interrupting him. Once.
