"PRIMETIME GLICK", 6/5/03 - JON STEWART

[HenryDixie]

This is amazing. Been watching a lot of these today. What strikes me though, is the number of comments criticizing the interview subjects or not getting the joke. They are in on the joke. Some just play along and some try to match wits but no one is getting hurt. People are so quick to look for insult and injury these days. These interviews are just a really good time with a brilliant improv artst.

[chalomirof63]

@HenryDixie You hit the nail on the head.

[bobohomania]

DONT TOUCH > : O

[crackrockstdy89]

Did jon know that this was martin short?

[peteblaxmith]

@crackrockstdy89 no i dont think its very likely that he knows jiminy glick is martin short

[chalomirof63]

@peteblaxmith ALL Jiminy's guests knew it was Martin Short. How can any celeb agree to go on a show without knowing the character, nor who plays that character! They all went through the show, script, beforehand, then improvised on the basis of the general script.



[marvelmax03191]

Thank you! Shawn Lebowitz!

[chalomirof63]

@marvelmax03191 Actually, he says "Jon" Lebowitz - which, I believe is Jon's real name.

[marvelmax03191]

@chalomirof63 Ah, my mistake. I guess I thought that because Jiminy has a nasty habit of getting his guests' names wrong.

[chalomirof63]

@marvelmax03191 Haaa - no problem.

[MargotVoguey]

I cannot believe how funny that was. I honestly don't know how Short didn't choke and laugh, that was just hilarious. Thank you once AGAIN, Chalomirof63, I love every Jon and Conan upload so much.

[chalomirof63]

@MargotVoguey LOL - very welcome. Watching someone crack up is funny in itself; and neither can I understand how Short did the whole bit without breaking up himself. If I were in that situation, I wouldn't have gotten one second into the interview without losing it.

[MargotVoguey]

@chalomirof63 I would have probably passed out.

[chalomirof63]

@MargotVoguey LOL - or choked on the donut!!!

[aja4079]

Brilliant. And Jon was a cutie when he was younger!

[itp757]

bloody brilliant

[fabiolatgg]

Did you feel VULNABABLE?! hahahahaha

[Banes500]

Every time I see Jon's name, I think of the fact that the lack of an "h" is his statement of counterculturalism.

[kpbirdie]

Now I must have a donut.

[upstateNYcuties]

I miss JIminy Glick so much.

[jimhegenwald]

Funniest thing I've ever seen in my life.

[mynameisjaimej]

God, I forgot how fucking funny that character was.

[tubesterini]

Hilarious! Thanks for posting. Martin and Jon played off each other beautifully.

I MISS Jiminy Glick!!!

[harooni22]

lol picture of jon lovitz naked  ewwww

[tnemiller]

LMFAO 1:14

[DaObvious1]

Ha. CLASSIC.

[DrumMacFayden]

DONT TOUCH!



[homerguy4444]

i loved this show, martin short is a genuis, from sctv to movies to this.

[EazyEVM]

"So you felt VULNERABBLE?!"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[juffan]

Glick looks like Glenn Beck... cept smarter

[TheMitchymitch13]

"because you're very transparent " hahaha!

[paintmn1]

jon stewart...what an arrogant dolt.

[LiLHeLLioNFeVeR]

@paintmn1 I think he's smart, handsome, and sophisticated. You'd be arrogant too if everyone who interviewed you was a complete jackass.

[pogo77]

4:53 onward. the salute gets me everytime

[Inferno41]

3:06 was stewart reaching for the donuts? hahahaha

[therealplease]

haha he called him shawn at the end

[TheSpareohs]

Both of them are so clever and just amazing. Wow. This makes me really respect their talents.

[dinglenutzz]

I think when Jiminey had his hand out talking after the first donut and Jon puts another in his hand, was definately NOT rehearsed. Shows how they just fed off each other. From what I hear most of this is done ad lib.

[romanticwarrior97]

Gotta give it to Stewart. One of the best fake laughs in the business.

[chalomirof63]

@romanticwarrior97 Sorry, but that was no fake laugh! That came right from the gut, not to mention his lungs!

[romanticwarrior97]

@chalomirof63 Sorry, but real laughs "from the gut" don't stop on a dime. That's a Hollywood fake laugh. Look at 4:00... "gut-busting" laugh then instant stop. Again at 4:57. Fake laugh. It's a Stewart staple. Sammy Davis Jr. was the master but Stewart is the heir.

[chalomirof63]

@romanticwarrior97 Fair enough. I guess there's no way to determine whether it's fake or real, and it's a personal perception of what's pretentious and what's real. Maybe on Jon's show, he is a bit hammy and put-on, but in this particular instance, to me, at least, the laugh seemed more than genuine. I mean: when you're faced with Jiminy stuffing his face as he is here, I think even the most sophisticated and cool person would break up.

[soojb7799]

@chalomirof63 This is easily the most civil conversation I've witnessed on YouTube. No "fag," no "douchebag," no "twat," etc. or any other puerile insults thrown around...I know this sounds rather silly and trivial, but I'm so sick of seeing flame wars erupt over religion, race, politics, etc. ...even if the video covers the most inane subject matter! Kudos to the both of you!

[chalomirof63]

@soojb7799 LOL - many thanks, and I assume you're referring to me and "romanticwarrior97"? But I have been known to go ballistic with some people. I guess one's reaction depends on the nature of another's comment. Cheers, :)

[laudiumWP]

@romanticwarrior97 I think the laugh at 4:57 was real actually

[smartandstupid37]

@laudiumWP Hehehe i did too =3

[FutureCatLady80]

@chalomirof63

I agree with you. Here's my take. Jon is the straight man here. His calm explanation of his addiction makes Glick gluttony all the more hilarious. However, they didn't plan this bit before hand. It's only natural to laugh at someone smeared in doughnut. Jon breaks for a second, then gets right back into it. You can see it in other Glick interviews. The guests are serious, but the insanity makes them break sometimes.

[chalomirof63]

@FutureCatLady80  Amen!!! Thank you!! And you can see this laugh was totally real, after he could no longer control it. Yes: the juxtaposition of Jon's woes with Jiminy "smeared in donut".....LOL LOL, (you just made me laugh again!!). Cheers, :)

[musicsureisgreat]

Jon Lebowitz!!! haha

[Sweeney333Z]

Martin Short an entertainment genius!!! :D

[quantanglement]

This was great!

Jon immediately starts equating his smoking thing with

Jiminy's thing right when the donut enters his mouth.

"I don't know if that's something you could understand." Brilliant!

They're both so quick.

Great comedy and ad libbing!

[culwin]

LOL! I think this is yours

[HanzSygnal]

" Your very transparent. It's because you give off nothing, and nothing really lands"

[clipsryan]

Clearly Jiminy found his way of dealing with sadness.

[animekitten1988]

This was so funny!

But a little sad at the same time, too.

Never knew Jon had a smoking problem , I mean, I know he smoked, but I didn't think it was that bad, poor guy :(

[chalomirof63]

@animekitten1988  What's sad about it? I can understand if someone was handicapped. But, a smoking problem is sad??

[mogwai142]

@animekitten1988 someone cant get second degree jokes.

[SapphireBlaze9]

I watched this clip only because it was posted in a Stewart fan board. It was interesting when he started getting into his past, describing that addiction. Its pretty amazing when a man describes his weakness, & what it was like.

Too bad Jon couldn't finish because this idiot started cramming his face. I get that his character's probably the epitome of that annoying guy you're itching to kick in the teeth, but seriously! He was trying to describe what was probably the darkest part of his life!

[chalomirof63]

@SapphireBlaze9  Now, do you actually think Stewart went on Jiminy Glick's show expecting it would be a serious therapy session?! C'mon, please. And, I think Jon's uncontrollable laughter would certainly indicate that he wasn't exactly emotionally devastated by the experience. I hope I don't hurt you, but, GET REAL!

[jenfine]

@chalomirof63 Holy shit, I know, right? Why are people acting like Martin Short did some bad thing to Jon Stewart while he was trying to open up about his past? THIS IS A COMEDY SHOW, NOT A SERIOUS INTERVIEW and I fucking lost it when Martin shoved that donut in his mouth... oh christ that was funny. If I were Jon, I wouldn't even be able to talk...

[chalomirof63]

@jenfine JEN?? I was thinking of you the other day; long time no hear - LOL. Hope all's okay? Yeah, like Jiminy is a therapist! Unbelievable! And wasn't it fall-down hilarious. F.

[eits1986]

@SapphireBlaze9

Do you know anything about Jiminy Glick?

[amindr]

is it wrong thta i think jon is super cute, then and now he is like the jewish anderson cooper, too cute

[devinecrazy]

DON'T TOUCH! THANKS.

[87Raining]

adorable how jon hands him a second one

[87Raining]

omg. this is the funniest yet. i have got2meet martin short after seeing that donut thing!

[rachel112263]

I can't believe what he says about Jon Lovitz. "It's like a Ken doll down there. There's simply nothing there." Hilarious.

[rachel112263]

I've never seen someone shove a whole donut in his mouth quite like Martin Short. Then, to do it again!!!!  Bravo.

[chalomirof63]

@rachel112263 I don't know how Martin did that without puking, but at one point, you can hear him gag! But I crack up every time I see Jon lose it; never ceases to be fall-down funny.

[loungelizard5000]

"We're scraping the bottom of the barrell, boy." LOLOLOL

[strmman]

its because u are very transparent

[alramone1]

MS is great here, over the top.

[prettyboydedede]
