Jiminy Glick: Well, Ill tell you, Ill tell you why Im here Tina Mey. Im here to promote the release of our last and certainly least DVD of the best of Jiminy Glick and its a collection of my thirty years of celebrity interviews. And this one, disk 57, I mean even I have to admit it is absolutely the dregs! Its the lowest of the low, you just cant get any stinker than whats on this! I mean weve got an interview with Urkel, uh, an interview with Robert Blake before he killed his wife, and uh, Erik Estrada and the whole cast of Chips. Its just awful, but the worst of all, is the interview with your maestro Lorne Michaels, it takes place in 1975, and its bad.
Tina Fey: Well yes, I think we have a clip of this is a classic Jiminy Glick interview from 1975 with a young Lorne Michaels.
(Jiminy pulls out these HUGE, ugly glasses and puts them on)
Jiminy Glick: Oh! Lets take a look! I bet its good!
(Cut to the 1975 interview. Jiminy and Lorne are sitting next to each other in large sofa chairs)
Jiminy Glick: Im sitting here with the creator and founder and the lord of all that is mirthful I suppose, Mr. Lorne Michaels. Lorne Michaels, how are you? Congratulations on this hit you have!
(Jiminy hits Lorne on the knee with a rolled up thing of papers hes holding)
Lorne Michaels: Thank you! Thank you!
Jiminy Glick: Oh! And the Not-Ready-For-Prime-Time-Players! Thats fun! Who came up with that phrase?
Lorne Michaels: (talks slowly throughout the interview) Well uh, we were kicking it around uh, in the studio
Jiminy Glick: Who were the people?
Lorne Michaels: Well you know uh me, and Danny, Chevy, uh
Jiminy Glick: Im Chevy Chase and youre uh, youre simply not Chevy. I cant remember, I havent seen the show!
Lorne Michaels: Each of them great in their own ways, but when Candy Bergen came on the show, the cast felt like it had congealed —

(Jiminy slowly falls forward and eventually plummets head first onto the floor)
Jiminy Glick: Oh!! Ah, yes, okay, now youre born on the same day as Mama Cass
Lorne Michaels: Right.
Jiminy Glick: Are you a California Dreamer, Lorne?
(Jiminy grabs a donut from the table in front of them, and eats it repulsively fast!)
Lorne Michaels: Well I like to think of myself as many different uh, Im a California Dreamers?… Im from everywhere. Im originally from Canada.
Jiminy Glick: (With mouth still full of donuts) OH! From Canada!
Lorne Michaels: Yes. Right.
Jiminy Glick: (Mouth is still stuffed with food) Is it cold there all the time or does it not get cold?
Lorne Michaels: Well its
(Jiminy begins to choke on the donuts)
Lorne Michaels: ..temperature varies
(Jiminy hits himself in the chest and says some things, but you cant understand him. Lorne goes over and does the Heimlich maneuver. While doing this, Jiminy stuffs even more donuts into his mouth)
Jiminy Glick: Im fine, thanks you. I find that sometimes when youre choking, more food helps.
Lorne Michaels: Right.
Jiminy Glick: So far, whos been the stinkiest host, the host thats just bored you?
Lorne Michaels: Well I like to think that each host has something to offer uh, I dont know that I could answer that question. Theyre all great in their own way.
Jiminy Glick: (Frustrated) Why are you so boring? I have a show to do, and you are just so bad! Youre expected to entertain and say something! Listen to what Im saying Mr. Brand-New-In-Show-Business, Mr. Fixnon, who by the way, this show will not last, theres no way it will. It cant! Not with you at the helm. Youll be back, youll be sloggin, killing beavers, whatever you Canadians do. You just, hittin em with your fists. Fisting them is what youll be doing. And you should be ashamed to do that to a beaver!
Lorne Michaels: Thats your opinion.
(Jiminy screams and runs over and attacks Lorne. He ends up smashing a vase of flowers on Lornes head too)
(Back to the studio)
Jiminy Glick: I knew it was a bad one!
Tina Fey: Thank you. That was, Jiminy, that was fascinating.
Jiminy Glick: And again Tina Mey, you are just one of the sexiest women Ive ever seen, I just Although Id love you to put these together (motions at her breasts) and make one good one.
Tina Fey: All right! Jiminy Glick everyone!
