What do we have to do and who do we have to pay to have Martin Short stay in character as Jiminy Glick forever and ever and ever?

Fresh from his Larry David fumble, television’s rudest celebrity reporter sat down with Canadian Jewish rapper Drake on Tuesday night’s episode of “Maya & Marty,” and much like David, Drake was not amused.

Like when he asked “the living legend of rapsterdom” why his music is a turn off.

Or when Glick inquired about Drake’s missing foreskin.

Watch the full interview here:

Warning: YouTubing Jiminy Glick videos will lead you down the dark hole of the Internet and you will come up, hours later, having learned that Short’s Glick character is daring and absolutely hilarious. Like this interview when he asked Mel Brooks about the Nazis.

The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’re near the end of our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we have a very ambitious goal of $127,000 by April 21.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
