The legendary Jiminy Glick got here out of retirement tonight as a result of, as Invoice Maher mentioned, he wanted somebody to interview him about his personal new guide on Actual Time.
“I interview authors on a regular basis, however now we have a dilemma: I, now, am an writer,” mentioned Maher, earlier than introducing former discuss present host Glick (a closely made-up Martin Quick).
“That is going to be thrilling!” started Glick, earlier than indicating that “this” was one thing new to him as a result of, “I’m used to interviewing celebrities.”
What adopted was a wild, 10-minute journey by which Glick requested all of the questions and didn’t await solutions earlier than shifting on to the subsequent query.
Right here’s a sampling:
“Your guide is a triumph! What do you owe your success to, low expectations?”
“Are there any subjects for you which might be off limits, apart from foreplay?”
“Apart from missing one, what do you suppose your comedy legacy could be?”
“What’s the oddest factor you’ve by accident dropped into the bathroom?”
Maher tried gamely to reply a number of of the queries earlier than his personal slurred speech led him on a laughing jag so uncontrollable Maher was left wiping his eyes.
Glick was prepared.
“You’d inform me if you happen to’d had a stroke, wouldn’t you?” he requested Maher
The Actual Time host later defined to his panel company, Andrew Cuomo and Adam Kinzinger, that he couldn’t sustain.
“I simply melted into laughter,” mentioned the rarely-speechless Maher.
