The real Jiminy Glick is dead

Posted in

I don’t know when I first became aware of Jiminy Glick, but I do recall I used to weep with laughter at whatever JG clips I could find back in the early 2000s:

If you enjoy his work as much as I do there are plenty more clips on YouTube

Anyway, I hadn’t thought of Jiminy in a while, but then I discovered that the man he was based on has just died. Apparently a guy called Skip E. Lowe used to interview people like Orson Welles, Bette Davis and Tony Curtis in school community centres using his own equipment. How very odd:
