Here Are the Best Burns from Jiminy Glick’s New Interview with Bill Hader
Thanks to Jimmy Kimmel’s summer vacation, Jiminy Glick is back behind the question sheet talking to celebrities he neither knows nor likes — I wonder what he thinks about Jimmy Kimmel.
As part of Kimmel’s annual relaxation ritual, the summer of guest hosts has started at Jimmy Kimmel Live! with Martin Short graciously manning the desk while the title star is away. Last night’s episode featured an obligatory guest appearance and monologue-crashing from Short’s perennial creative partner Steve Martin as well as a good-sported agreement from Bill Hader to bear the brunt of a certain acid-tongued entertainment reporter’s return to TV.
Glick just finished up flaming the only professional interviewer more annoying and ill-informed than he is on this past weekend’s Real Time with Bill Maher, and during Short’s first evening guest hosting the ABC late-night show, Glick stepped up to take over Jimmy Kimmel Live! while Short went out for a dermatologist appointment.
During the interview, Glick casually exterminated Hader for five minutes, of course — but the star of Primetime Glick made sure to save some fire for a few other absent celebrities, both living and dead. Here are his best burns from the interview…
On Hader's Attire
“This is a nice outfit if you’re a cat burglar.”
On A Recent Celebrity Death
“Willie Mays just died!” *Hader laughs* “I see you’re choked up about it! Do you hold any responsibility at all for his passing?”
On Hader’s Career Arc
“Have you gotten the dramatic thing out of your system, the boo-hooing, and are you going to go back to the funny voices? We want you to!”
On Lorne Michaels
“What does he smell like? I would think it would be like a combination of chicken piccata and silver dollars.”
On Hader’s Upcoming Projects
“What are you doing next? Let me guess: Uh-uh.”
On Hader’s Masterpiece
“HBO! What’s your big deal? You’re canceling Arliss and putting on — no offense — Barry?!”
On Mike Pence
“He’s very pale. I mean, you’re pale, but he makes you look like a member of the Wu-Tang Clan.”
On Hader’s Name
“’Bill Hader’ sounds like a guy who would do inside windows.”
On Hader’s Living Situation
"You’re staying at Diddy’s pool house, aren’t you?”
On Willie Nelson
"He has a strange look. You can get high just from the braids. He looks like the First of the Mohicans.”
