Jiminy Glick

Encyclopedia : J : JI : JIM : Jiminy Glick

Jiminy Glick is a fictional character portrayed by Martin Short in the TV series Primetime Glick.

In the show, Glick is a famous television interviewer who has been around Hollywood for a long time. However, despite this, he remains laughably ignorant about pop culture and most entertainment news, though he considers himself just the opposite. His interviews with stars are characterized by his patronizing attitude, often bizarre questions about obscure matters, and awkward body language.

Glick is also very overweight, and during interviews he will sometimes aggressively stuff his face with junk food (which is always present on the table) at a moment’s notice.

Jiminy is married to a depressed, alcoholic southern woman named Dixie. Together they have four strapping young boys: Morgan, Mason, Matthew and Modine. Morgan and Mason are twins; in one episode Jiminy casually commented that they were actually triplets, but he sent the third one away because “two was so much already.”

Glick is also mentioned in a 2005 episode of "Family Guy" in which Stewie is portrayed as Glick interviewing Colin Farrell.
