The Ultimate Interview: Jiminy Glick Grills Bill Maher on His New Book - Entertainment

The latest episode of Real Time featured a unique twist with Bill Maher becoming the interviewee and Martin Short's character Jiminy Glick as the interviewer. Glick, known for his comedic and quirky style, had the opportunity to question Maher about his recently published book, "What This Comedian Said Will Shock You."

Glick's interviewing style remained as outrageous as ever, with a mix of playful banter and humorous insults directed towards Maher throughout the segment. Despite claiming to love the book, Glick admitted he had not actually read it, which led to some comical exchanges between the two.

 "I love this book," Glick exclaimed, holding a copy of Mahers book. "I havent read it. No, Ive read it cover and cover, but nothing inside. But word gets back that its delightful." 

Maher, ever the good sport, attempted to engage with Glick's unconventional interview style, discussing topics ranging from the decline of reading to the impact of the pandemic. However, Glick's tendency to doze off during Maher's responses added an extra layer of humor to the conversation.

 "Its amazing to write a book, yes it is," Glick commented after being woken up. "And to conquer a field because not many people [do]. Next, youll probably get a deal with Blockbuster Video. And youre filled with opinions. I love that cause Ive always loved Bill Mahers opinion, you know, like your opinions about COVID, the whole COVID thing. I love getting my medical advice from a club act." 

The interview concluded with Glick delivering a backhanded compliment to Maher, praising his book as the greatest book he had never read. Despite the unconventional nature of the interview, Maher and Glick shared a humorous rapport that left both the audience and Maher himself in stitches.

Aside from the comedic antics of Glick, the episode also featured other notable guests such as former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and former U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger. The interaction between Maher and Glick provided a refreshing and entertaining change of pace for viewers of Real Time, showcasing the comedic talents of both Martin Short and Bill Maher in a unique and memorable way.
