Liz Smith to appear on Primetime Glick

Out syndicated columnist Liz Smith reports in the New York Post that she recently became an inadvertent guest on the Comedy Central talk-show spoof Primetime Glick. She thought she was to be visited by manager Bernie Brillstein and a few of his staff members, but he arrived with a full film crew and comic Martin Short, who was wearing his Jiminy Glick fat suit and prepared to lob questions. Smith gamely sat for the interview, though she admits, I'm not a good actor, so I kept breaking up at Glicks gauche inquiries, his outrageous side remarks, and his burbling enthusiasm for long-ago glamorous souls such as Lana Turner. The series debuts Wednesday, June 20, on Comedy Central but Smith claims no knowledge of exactly when her segment will air. Check local listings.
