Nimoy smiling/laughing always makes me smile. Such a wonderful, sweet person. He will be very missed, but I do my best to be happy as he accomplished a great deal while we were fortunate enough to have him :)
Mr Nimoy was huge even before Star Trek, then went on to great things like In Search Of & then the Star Trek movies and so much more. Watched For The Love Of Spock by his son and wow what an amazing life he lead.
"He's an attractive young man." Why was Leonard shaking his head no at that? He is so hot! That smile just makes me so happy! I have to fave this just to watch him smile so much! :D :D :D Thanks so much for posting! :) :) :)
What are you talking about? He was handsome, period. In fact as Spock, he was downright sexy & Spock did in fact smile, it's just that most of his smiles were very subtle.
"Science fiction writers are the dreamers of our future's reality." Thanks for that, Mr. Nimoy. BTW, ordinarily I do not care for 1970's fashions but I must say the Leonard Nimoy certainly was well dressed.
I used to work in a retirement community in Boston. Leonard's parents lived there at one time and many of the residents were Irish or Jewish. I went into a few apartments and on the wall they'd have photos of the Pope, JFK and Leonard Nimoy.
Leonard Nimoy played Spock on Star Trek(1966-1969). He also played "Paris" in Mission: Impossible. He was cast as Dr. Kibner in Invasion of the Body Snatchers(1978).
*sigh* Leonard Nimoy is just a dream-come-true! And just so you know... he's just as perfect in real life as he is onscreen. And his hands.... *sigh* Perfection! They feel just as perfect as they look!
I keep complaining to You Tube/Google to try and get them to force video posters to add what year a video was made... I say the origin date is far more important to us than the uploaded date!
@@hueowen2786 That's freaky weird. I read this episode was from '75 ,and Soupy thought it was Greg Morris. That article was wrong and you're right. I found a longer version of this that lists an airdate of Nov '74
@@joeambrose3260 If you're asking me to post proof that I don't remember watching this video, you'll just have to take my word for it. If you're asking me to post proof of what year this episode originally aired, or why I thought it was 74 instead of 75, again, I don't remember. As I said in my previous post, I don't even remember watching this video a year ago or posting that comment. Little alone how I came to the conclusion of what year it was. If I figure it out again though, I'll post if for you. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
This newer version of the show was awful, when it comes to the mystery guest. They weren't given enough time to guess who the guest was. It had no flow to it, like the original did.
Mr. Nimoy is correct about science fiction becoming science fact. I recall reading about a person who was watching the very early series of Star Trek. He said transporters, small plastic storage disks and futuristic medical devices may be in the future but automatic sliding doors will never happen.😀😀😀😀
It's great to see Leonard Nimoy out of his Spock ears and in casual conversation back when he still looked like Spock. Most Gen-Xers like me are only accustomed to seeing him without the Spock ears as an old man.
The most bracing thing about watching WML today is its good manners on TV, compared to the sorts of rudeness we see on The Tube nowadays. It is unusual to see a woman stand up for a man at the hand shake portion of the sequence, but maybe Dana Valery (whose spirituality was and is well known) was also a Trekkie. Yes, Bert Park did TV other than Miss America. What a voice. Thanks for posting.
What was great for Leonard Nimoy is that he really did get to see all the technology develop that really was sci-fi back then. At that time, all digital media was future tech. VHS/DVD/blue rays, GPS, smart phones, bluetooth, touch screen devices, all the way to tablets like the ipad. None of that existed yet at the time the show was aired. Satellite TV was just budding, personal computers were barely around (and unrecognizable by today's standards) and the cell phone had just barely been invented, and certainly weren't available for purchase. All the things we use today and take for granted were things he got to see come about first hand.
@@stephenwright8824 Not all people have the same vision or expectations of the future based on the year they were born. You can't "dismiss a case" based on such faulty logic. Not everyone is an Arthur C. Clarke or a Leonard Nimoy. It's not just that people "born that year" experience that. This wasn't my point at all, and if you took it this way, you missed the point, badly. In this clip, Nimoy had an expectation and a vision of what the future would bring. Clarke's predictions in 1964 were even more impressive by his predictions and more accurate about what technology would bring. Few people are visionaries, no matter the age, which is why such people stand out. Simplifying it as "born the same year" is a strawman. You dismissed a point I didn't make, so you dismissed nothing. You tried.
He was right about the SF writers dreaming our future reality. 2 of my previous phones were flip phones, much like the Star Trek communicators, but we're able to do even more stuff. Now I have a smart phone, which does even more. I am always amazed when SF stuff enters the real world.
I've watched TOS 3 times in a row now just because I get to the last one and just go right back to Season 1! Online streaming is wonderful for bringing back classic shows for young people!
Leonard Nimoy has been my favorite actor and my fantasy for the past 44 years. I love him to pieces. I wish I could meet him some day. I know that will never happen. boo hoo!!!
Leonard Nimoy- really a great piece here from "What's My Line" during the Larry Blyden era (ca. 1973-74). Check out Dana Valenti- she is a retired actress, singer & businesswoman whose brother was singer Sergio Franchi. And there's Burt Parks- who hosted Miss America for many years.
It's unfortunate that it was announced a few weeks ago that Mr. Nimoy has been diagnosed with COPD--Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease--due largely to his many years of cigarette smoking. He gave up the habit some years ago, but by that time, the damage had been done. (My father smoked for over 20 years, then gave it up on the advice of his doctor. Ten years later, he died from esophageal cancer, a direct result of his smoking. I know because I was his primary caregiver during his final illness. I've discussed it with the rest of my family, and they all agree with me that, by the time he gave up this filthy habit, the damage had already been done.)
@@joeambrose3260 So, someone shares how they lost a loved one due to all the smoking they did & you're telling them to get off their soapbox? What a miserable human being you are. Leonard Nimoy would be ashamed.
@@Hodaris_Darlin No disrespect was intended, just a plea for brevity. BTW, I knew Leonard Nimoy, and you're no Leonard Nimoy. He was non judgemental. I believe if he were alive, he'd slap your face
@@dabneyoffermein595 I watched the whole first season as a kid. Saturday afternoons around 2pm; the only thing worth watching after 12 noon for me. Syndication was your friend, and I'm sure he would have agreed since it meant a paycheck for him.
But your heading gives it away so we can't play along. :-( All the same, Leonard Nimoy added his own personal touches to Star Trek that will live forever.
Dana Valeri, Sergio Franchi's sister. Back then, about the only thing you could turn on and NOT get either of them was the water. She always seemed to take a back seat to him, which was too bad. Beautiful and very talented, who did a Tony-nominated turn on Broadway in 1965's "Wait a Minim!" It's interesting to note that Leonard Nimoy's first volume of autobiography, published at around this time, was "I Am Not Spock.," which would seem to be underscored by some of his comments here.
@soulierinvestments You're so right. That is why I quite watching TV. I watch only things mainly from the 70s and before on youtube or dvds. Yes, I miss seeing good manners on tv and in the world.
I guess this was from before the first Star Trek movie came out. I guessed it when they asked him if he was currently acting in movies, and he said "no". I knew that he was also on the original "Mission:Impossible" series. But being a die hard Trekkie, I'll always remember him as Mr. Spock. :)
You know what pisses me off more than anything is that the human life span is so short and all these wonderful entertainers are now gone------if a blasted turtle can live for 200 years why the hell cant we and enjoy these people longer
It would have been great wouldn't! For those out there who don't know - 720p wasn't invented when this was made. The highest possible resolution on analogue NTSC broadcasts was 640×480, and on VHS home video 300×480. It's easy to forget how incredibly fast these things have developed.
He made many movies before Star Trek (1979) - and the question meant RIGHT NOW - not a few months ago. At the particular time, he was engaged in either television or the stage.
Spock, my favorite character of all time. Leonard could read the phone book and I'd listen intently. I loved his voice.
I met him years ago in Toronto, backstage, he was incredibly nice and I got his autograph! I still treasure that memory.
That’s awesome
@@Dolphiny_LinkHope you still have his autograph.

what a smile how kind & so approachable he must have been ...
Oh, it is so delightful to see that lovely smile! 💚🖖
A great actor with a keen intellect, unforgettable as Spock, but so much more.
He was very handsome when he wasn't Spock because Spock really didn't smile. He is certainly one of those guests out of this world. RIP Leonard.

He's got a smile that would the marrow out of my bones!
1:16 Hilarious Leonard Nimoy doing a silly voice to disguise his own.
Sean Connerys was good too lol.
You know what the S stands for as his middle name? SIMON
@@jessicathethreestoogesfan2635 I've got a uncle called Simon.
We will miss you, Leonard. Until we meet again, live long and prosper. I will observe the Vulcan codes which are good for all of humanity.
The man who directed the number one box office hits of 1987 and 1986. People forget that
His real voice would give it away.
Which is why mystery guests on "WML" going back to the '50s always disguised their voices.
When he laughed and when he were surprised I thought that might have given it away.
It's always fun to watch these when the mystery guest is someone that is someone that has a distinctive and instantly recognizable voice.
Mr. Spock: great caracter and my super hero. Thank you, Leonar Nimoy.. I love Star Trek. 👏👏👏🖖
I Absolutely do agree that Leonard Nimoy is georgeous and I love everything about him. Leonard is my favorite actor!!!
He had a wonderful smile!
Oh is he ever drop dead GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!
I used to work in a retirement community in Boston. Leonard's parents lived there at one time and many of the residents were Irish or Jewish. I went into a few apartments and on the wall they'd have photos of the Pope, JFK and Leonard Nimoy.
This is why Leonard Nimoy's Spock is my love god. And Nimoy himself is a very attractive, talented gentleman.
Live long and prosper. RIP Leonard Nimoy.
What a brilliant and outstanding individual this man was !!!!!
Great looking man.
Leonard Nimoy played Spock on Star Trek(1966-1969). He also played "Paris" in Mission: Impossible. He was cast as Dr. Kibner in Invasion of the Body Snatchers(1978).
He also had a role in The Twilight Zone in the 60's ,"A Quality of Mercy." Great episode, btw.
God Bless you Mr. Nimoy. RIP!!!
He seemed like such a nice man. Very humble and unaffected too.
He's so adorable! I can't exactly pin down WHY, he just is! ^^
Fascinating!
I've only ever remembered him as Spock. Though I do remember seing him in an episode of Get Smart from way back in the 70s.
Love when Leonard said the writers are the dreamers of our future reality. Thank you George Lucas, DC Fontanna, and so many more.
A.C. Clark thought up GPS and the whole satellite networks we have now.
I love how he has to try so hard to disguise his very distinctive voice.

Thank you! Never saw this before!
nice voice leonard lol if i took off my blind fold and saw him i would eather faint or kiss him i love tht man
He realized from the last time he was on this show that his deep voice gives him away too easily

Thank you for saving this 1960s quality video
I remember seeing Nimoy play a heavy in an episode of "Sea Hunt". As I remember I think he was uncredited. He's had a long career.
Love U Leonard !!
