Born Malcolm Glickman March 12, 1948, in Akron, Ohio (although he has claimed to have been born in Omaha, Nebraska, or Baton Rouge, Louisiana), Jiminy Glick was the middle child of ten children of Omar and Isabella Glickman. Glick, who describes himself as a Tibetan-American, was often a loner and would be made fun of regularly because of his weight at a young age. He was also very sickly until he was thirteen, when doctors discovered that he had a small Tonka truck stuck in his duodenum. At a young age, while riding his bike and listening to the song Michael Row the Boat Ashore, he lost his virginity when he fell on the "boy bar." Glick claimed his real name is Malcolm and he never liked the name. He also says he was given the nickname "Jiminy" as crickets laid eggs in his anus. After graduating from Gale Gordon High School, and continuing on to DeVry Institute of Technology and onto the University of Wisconsin, his life changed forever when the play, Forty Carats, starring Lana Turner came to town. He was asked to join the show and traveled to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he played "Onlooker Number Two" in the cast, which he said was "like a dream!" After his short stage acting career, supposedly played the leper in the film Papillon. Jiminy eventually became the personal assistant to Charles Bronson for five years during the '70's. He had planned on working for Robert Vaughn, but as according to Jiminy, he, "didn't pay". Bronson was very cruel to Jiminy and one day threw him off his boat one time, mistaking him for Sebastian Cabot. Luckily, Jiminy was picked up in a boat by George Maharis, of the TV show, Route 66, and his cousin, Leon Maharis. Leon asked Jiminy if he wanted to work with him at Chasen's in Beverly Hills, California, as a bus boy. Jiminy jumped at the chance. While there, he ran into numerous Hollywood celebrities, such as Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Britney Spears, James Dean, and Charlton Heston. Then, one day, while catering a party at Roddy McDowall's house, George Schlatter from Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, offered Jiminy a pilot episode deal for a daytime talk show that Jiminy accepted and started at the Beverly Garland 'Motel' (as opposed to the Beverly-Garland Hotel). And, as Jiminy has said, "that's how it all started". Then, one day, Jiminy's daytime talk show was canceled when Beverly Garland herself came downstairs, and lacking sleep and thoroughly intoxicated shouted to Jiminy and his crew "get the hell out!". Jiminy later in his career moved to primetime. Jiminy is currently married to a heavily-medicated, alcoholic Southern woman named Dixie, portrayed by Saturday Night Live and Designing Women veteran Jan Hooks. Together they have "four wonderfully strapping young boys": Morgan, Mason (named after actor Morgan Mason), Matthew, and Modine (named after actor Matthew Modine). Morgan and Mason are teenaged twins and Matthew and Modine are ten-year-old twins; in one episode Jiminy casually commented that they were actually triplets, but he sent the third one away because "two was so much already." The Glick family currently resides in Tarzana, California. Dennis Miller describes Jiminy's life as "one big cliff note missing a page." Jiminy is also an avid "pole vaulter", claiming that he did it in college and occasionally pole vaults with his wife, Dixie.
