Too bad it did not end that way. William use an unauthorized clip of Leonard in some media. Leonard had not approved it, so Leonard fell out with William. Too bad it ended that way. Had Leonard lived longer, I’d like to think they would have mended fences.
@@thomaspick4123 Yes it's unfortunate they didn't get a chance to mend the fence before Leonard passed on. I feel sorry for Bill in that respect, because they had been friends for decades and very close ones at that, and to have to live with the pain that a friend turned his back on you towards the end must have been a hard one to take. Bill should have known better to ask Leonard's permission but at the same time Leonard should have taken it better as after all, why end a decades long friendship over an unauthorised use of a film clip? I guess it's a reminder to always treat others close to you with respect as you never know which conversation will be the last.
@@GavinJ37 - I'm not convinced their relationship really ended. Shatner had mentioned that Nimoy cut off contact with him and he didn't understand why. However, my father had COPD, like Nimoy, and used to call me all the time. The calls from him became less and less as his condition progressed until finally all calls simply stopped. Of course, I always called him. But, he reached a point when he didn't feel like talking to anybody because all of his focus was concentrated on simply breathing which was a huge struggle. So, this could explain why Nimoy ceased contact with his longtime friend. At least, I hope that's the only reason because they were very close for decades.
@@ScottALanter The reason why the relationship ended was due to Shatner using unauthorized footage of Nimoy in his 2011 "The Captain's" documentary. Shatner had asked Nimoy to make an appearance in the documentary. Nimoy declined. Despite that, Shatner's cameraman secretly filmed Nimoy during a Star Trek convention appearance, and that footage was used in the documentary without Nimoy's permission Shatner attempted to claim ignorance, putting the blame on the production company, but Nimoy wasn't having any of that, and severed the friendship.
This sort of reminded me of the close friendship between Bill Murray and Harold Ramis and then they really started fighting during the filming of "Groundhog Day" (which Ramis directed Murray in) and they both stopped talking to each other after that sadly. At least Bill Murray made up with him (I heard it was on Ramis' deathbed.) Shatner did not get along with the supporting cast of Star Trek, especially George Takei, but he did make up with James Doohan (he played Scotty and was my 2nd favorite in Star Trek after Nimoy). I was glad that Shatner was able to make up with Doohan. I know they had quite the riff going and Doohan seemed like such a good and decent guy. (I can't stand George Takei to this day.) It's too bad Shatner and Nimoy couldn't have made up. I know Shatner tried and I know he deeply loves Nimoy like a brother. I firmly believe Nimoy did this so Shatner didn't see him suffer and he wanted to protect his good friend from the heartache. D@mm, it's been 7 years since Nimoy's passing. I am tearing up typing this. I took his death very hard. Nimoy seemed like a wonderful and nice man, which we need so much right now. Leonard Nimoy was a positive role model for not just young people but everyone who wanted to live life to the fullest and be kind to others. I miss him so much.
@@ryanfeit1420 It is quite fitting, that his last television appearance was in, "The Big Bang Theory" He played the voice of Sheldon's figurine of Spock
Looking back, it's really sad that they had a falling out prior to Leonard Nimoy's death, especially given how close they were and how long they were friends. RIP Leonard Nimoy
I honestly don't think Leonard meant it. Most people of his generation feel that to die with dignity they must die alone so that their closest can never see them at their last moments. Sometimes when the end is near they do anything to make sure their loved ones left them alone. I heard why they fell out and I just don't see Leonard driving Bill out of his last moments for just that reason. That said, he probably got over it in death. Either way he's waiting to mend the fences with Bill.
@@Shanethefilmmaker Very valid point, and I pray that's exactly what happens when the time is right. Either way... may Mr. Nimoy RIP & LLAP in Eternity's Glorious Light
I never saw this before. It's amazing just how much content is sitting out there. I'm 43 and I figured that I had caught everything over the years. This was a nice surprise
That's same exact thing that I was thinking! If they did a sequel to "Grumpy Old Men", and it starred Shatner and Nimoy, I guarantee that it would be #1 at the box office! It would be one of the funniest movies of all time!! I wish they would make that movie. I really do. I love these guys. I've always been a huge Star Trek fan and a huge fan of these 2 legendary actors. They have great chemistry together!
I am of the generation that grew up watching the original series back in the 1960s and then forever and ever in syndication. I love those two as I do the entire cast and crew.
Back in the 60s, whether it was us (as kids watching TOS) or these icons acting the part ... NONE of us ever dreamed how BIG Star Trek would become! And there is only ONE Star Trek!
Whilst it will never ever happen, these two should star side-by-side in a sit-com as two angry competing neighbors who hate each other. It would be the funniest thing since the invention of comedy!
It's funny that one of the few videos that doesn't have any dislikes involves two elderly Jewish men talking on the phone. And who else here is surprised that William Shatner is 80? Seriously, he's looking GOOD.
You know Shatner and Nimoy were only four days apart in age. Nimoy got pretty old and had to check out. But Shatner is now 90 and still going strong! He looks and sounds amazing. Ironically Vulcans are the ones who are supposed to live well over 200 years. But Shatner is the one with the Vulcan genes when it comes to longevity.
"Why are you doing this, is it for the food?" Hilarious.
That's the one that got me too
"I'm not dignified." That's the best line.
I totally agree!! It's a great line!!
their chemistry and rapport with each other is undeniable. two legends. rest in peace Mr. Nimoy.
Haha this is great.
Leonard was a better singer lol
@@marcustiberious5887 I've never heard Shatner sing. Oh, I've heard him recite and/or declaim songs, but not sing.
@@marcustiberious5887Leonard was really good in Mission Impossible series too. I watched a rerun of those shows. Simply awesome.
Whenever they get mad at each other, they threaten to make a movie where the other one dies again.
hahaha!!!!
LOL !!!!
Unfortunately, they did have a fall out and spoke very little to each other during the last few years of Leonard's life. Bill regrets it to this day.
Or they try to outdo each other like in the commercials they did for Priceline.
Billy Shatner 90+ yrs old and STILL kicking it! LEGEND !!
Wholly Crow he did just turn 90. I really didn't think about how old he is. Dang.
He rally did lived long and prospered .
"Anybody but Bill Shatner, please leave a message."
What a Bloody Legendary Friendship 😂 This Was Priceless, R.I.P Leonard Nimoy 🖖🥹 You Lived Long and Prospered mate.
I remember that roast.... one comedian said this line, "Bill! What happened?!? When did Captain Kirk turn into Captain Crunch??"
Hearing Captain Kirk saying "pussy" and "douchebag" to his bestie made my day. X)
😆😆😆😆
"WHAT??? I'm still on the phone!!!"
Best lines ever: "Is it for the food?" and "Are you reading this?" And the little secret is ... Nimoy just roasted Shatner!
10 years old, still golden.
Greetings from the future
"Get out of my life!!"
"Douchebag."
Awww, can you hear the pure and unconditional love in their voices? XD

Can you guys tell me which clip was that?
@@subhajitkarmakar291I guess we will never know
Nimoy's just one of those guys that you can't not like.
@M. G. Agreed. :) Shatner is also a boss.
Have loved these two since I was a kid in the 60's.♥️♥️ Always will.
What a lovely little time bubble I've stepped into here.
Rest in Peace Leonard Nimoy.
You can tell these guys are the best of friends and they play off each other so well.
Sad that their friendship ended before Leonard’s passing

"GET OUT OF MY LIFE!"
LOL This is a riot.
'Makes me wonder . .
my dearest friend would say to me when I pissed him off, get out of my life and come back again. He was a great human.
Looking back, it's really sad that they had a falling out prior to Leonard Nimoy's death, especially given how close they were and how long they were friends. RIP Leonard Nimoy
I didn’t know that, that’s sad.
@@Noycey64 Yes it is. Born the same year and within just days of each other. They were friends for decades. It really is sad

I'd never seen it either, absolutely loving it. ♥
This is hilarious OMG! Shatner and Nimoy are hilarious! I wish they had done more stuff like this!
Bill Shatner...."I'm not dignified..."

hi i'm from the future
....or would it be the past?
@@unclefreddieDied You're from the past's future.
Reading this hurts
I never thought of that idea but it would have been absolutely wonderful.
This was awesome, these two had such chemistry with one another. Funny stuff.
This is what phones used to look like, kids.
"...is it for the food?"
Heh.
I am of the generation that grew up watching the original series back in the 1960s and then forever and ever in syndication. I love those two as I do the entire cast and crew.
Love Bill Shatner, still sharp as a razor now, RIP Leonard.
WHY have I never seen this before??? Hilarious and beautiful.
I was thinking the same thing
Bill has always had incredible comedic timing
Great punchline at the end when he realises Nimoy is still on the phone.
"You've reached the home of Leonard Nimoy. Anyone but Bill Shatner, please leave a message." 🤣😂
whoever wrote that script was brilliant!!!!!!!
I love how well Shatner does the Jewish "oy!!!" Its funny to see Nimoy and Shatner let out their Jewish side!!!!
ya, they was oyyyyyyyyy shalom
It felt authentic and not as contrived and stereotypical as when others try to do it 😂
@@overcomerbtbojesus yep real Jews make it sound real
Shatner
Was upset at Leonard get more
Fan Mail.
@@david-leethompson62 i heard that and at the Asian guy to
Not sorry to have missed the roast, but it's wonderful hearing Nimoy say schmuck.
This was the absolutely best part of a not-so-fun evening.
I'm still on the phone!!! I can' stop laughing.
Just two amazing humans that have brought so many so much fun over so many years.
Mozoltoff, or whatever it is. Love these guys.
Shalom
Mazal tov means good luck or congratulations.
L’chaim?
@@N37tron_Danc3 To life! Usually after toasting with alcohol, probably sweet
red white
@@johnnycumlately4295 I know what L'chaim means. I wanted to see if it applied here
lol Nimoy almost cracks up at 00:40
you can really feel the love. they remind me of my brothers.
I love the train wreck in a dress line.😂
That sure doesn't narrow it down in Hollywood!
"Why are you doing this? Is it for the food?" LOL
If we all shared the love that these two do, this world would be a better place!
"A roast is for a pig!" 🐷🍖🤣
For me this was the best part of the roast.
“Why are you doing this? For the food?” - Leonard Nimoy. ☺️
Thank you for uploading this video!
"You schmuck!"
its from the Roast of Shatner on Comedy Central
Using this 20th Century technology was a treat for them. Could have used communicators but they were feeling nostalgic.
Imagine if they had done a National Tour of The Odd Couple together, it would have been a Treasure ❤😂❤😂
Despite their 50-year friendship ending, Bill Shatner had nothing but sweet words to say about Leonard Nimoy.
How many of us stay in touch with someone we worked with 40 years ago? Blessings 💐
BRILLIANT😂😂😂
Wouldn’t be a bit surprised to find out that this is how their conversations actually went. Especially later on in life.
Hey I know right.
Back in the 60s, whether it was us (as kids watching TOS) or these icons acting the part ... NONE of us ever dreamed how BIG Star Trek would become! And there is only ONE Star Trek!
This was hysterical.
Excellent video. ❤😊
too bad the falling out thing at the end but no one is perfect
SOOO gratifying these 2 had such an enduring friendship
Whilst it will never ever happen, these two should star side-by-side in a sit-com as two angry competing neighbors who hate each other. It would be the funniest thing since the invention of comedy!
They are the original sci-fi odd couple.
That was awesome I’ve loved these guys since I was 5 years old that’s 52 years miss you Leonard
I love both these guys! Nobody does it better!
These guys never did enough comedy 😂
Thanks for this!
Thank you so much for posting this. 😂
its awesome he knows the shat so well he calls him a schmuck lmao.
...and Billy.
This just seemed like improv... awesome.
"A roast is for a pig!!!" LOL
Auughh the old days. The memories.
Hahaha - The world misses Leonard Nimoy
This makes me wanna watch the original series--again. You can see them clicking even back then
Hilarious! I love them both!
Those two need to be in a remake of "The Sunshine Boys"
It's funny that one of the few videos that doesn't have any dislikes involves two elderly Jewish men talking on the phone.
And who else here is surprised that William Shatner is 80? Seriously, he's looking GOOD.
90 now
yeah well adrenochrome helps...you'll find out.
@@unclejustin7267 ...and went to space.
We needed a Grumpier Old Men redo with these 2
Leonard Nimoy is so cool.
My two favourites of Star Trek
When he said roast he thought he meant a killing party for Shatner.
Nimoy's house looks fabulous.
haha why are they just so awesome?! :L love these guys!
This is one of the most wholesome things I've ever seen.
They didn’t hate each other….thank you for this
THIS one goes in my keeper file
Ok, this is fucking amazingly done. Love these guys.
@TheZacula Remember, Nimoy is only four days younger than Shatner.
Funny bit! First time seeing it....!!
Turn up the sound on you're hearing aid! That's great.

Beautiful.
Awesome and sooooo funny.
And they say they hated each other…… could fooled me.
So funny😂. They should both be married.😊
That's a great image! They were together for so many years, they probably did feel like they were married. Or at least, joined at the hip!!!
Nimoy in the Original Transformers movie. He did great as a voice actor.
I missed him I wished he would be still be alive today to reprise galvatron in transformers war for cybertron
Great stuff... now...
Why the hell wasn' that included on the DVD of the roast?
Awesome skit!
That was classic. The best.
Only true friends can talk to one another that way. Or two people who hate each other.
These 2! Honestly! 🤣
I miss Leonard Nimoy!
Fascinating!
