That’s good to know.
@@steveb6718 Kirk, Spock, & Bilbo Baggins
The influence star trek has on the world is immense and laudable. Very aspirational.
And palpable. Flip phones, I pads, etc.
@@jakerazmataz852 Good point. Not only did some people go into scientific fields because of "Star Trek", but some items were created because inspired by it, as you pointed out. Thank you, Gene Roddenberry.
The body scanners used by bones are salt and pepper shakers bought at a yard sale.
Uhura invented the wireless headpiece. She had nothing to do but turn and make a statement, so she decided "maybe I've got a speaker in my ear". Grabbed a prop, popped it in her ear and VOILA.
No word of a lie
To add about Uhura.
Everyone used handheld mics to a speaker box before her idea.
Inspirational
Spock was my first childhood hero. It was a time when boys must have a crew cut. I would get on the school bus and kids would tease me about my ears being pointy like Spock's were, and it was crushing me to tears at 5 yrs old. Until one day I watched Spock knock this dude out just by grabbing his shoulder and I thought how cool that was. Spock was a bad ass, so I paid attention to him in a way I never had before. One day after that I got on the bus to the usual jeers and jokes about pointy ears and Spock. And I looked one of my tormentors that called me Spock and I said "Logical" in my best Spock prose. The teasing stopped instantly. I didn't know what the word meant, I just knew Spock was a bad ass and he would say it. Clearly they didn't know the meaning either, but it was enough. I was never again, teased about my ears.
That's a great response. Thanks for sharing the story.
I thought the story was gonna end with a vulcan death grip 😂
I’m a logical being and I don’t let my emotions control me! 🖖🏼
@@-M0LE😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂i burst a laugh so hard that the whole apartment heard it!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂 that's so cool
Leonard's voice has always been so soothing to me.
Love it ♥
Man, Leonard Nimoy is so likeable!
I miss Mr. Nimoy.
@@michaelreardon3958We all do...
It's logical.
"I'm really looking forward to this picture opening because it I think it is going to be an enormously entertaining picture and therefore very successful picture". HE NAILED IT!
My husband is a Trekkie and I am a big Lucille Ball fan. I like to remind him there would be no Star Trek if not for Lucy. She gave us Star Trek when it was proposed for production at Desilu Studios and she approved it. Fact! She was a trailblazer in more was than one. She knew good entertainment when she saw it. ❤️
Truth. 👆👍
Incredible characters and chemistry between all of the cast members. Classic Trek really was something very special!
Ahead of it's time.
The Rodemberry's vision was remarkable...
Leonard Nimoy had an AWESOME smile! Pity that we didn't get to see it on Star Trek very often.
This was great to see 41 yrs after it was shown on TV! Mr Nimoy and Merv have both left us quite a while ago, but will live on in this way. I don't remember seeing this back in '82. Thanks for posting, and UP voted of course! 🖖👍
The way William Shatner walks this is James Kirk personified. Lots of dignity and charm.
Okay so you know when you are reading through the comments, and you read a comment where the topic of said comment occurs as you read it?
I would like you to know that your comment was one of those.
Just as I read it, last word, James looked forward, gave a wink and a thumbs up to someone in the audience.
11:05
The fact that the 11:05 mark and your comment coincided is too amazing.
22 more seconds and this was all for not.
@@enigmalfidelity LOL! It was just a big coincidence, but I really appreciate your observation. Greetings from Brazil!
The genuine, real feelings between bill&Len is amazing
They didn't speak the last 5 years of his life. Shatner tried to make amends, but Nimoy must have been really angry not to accept it. Of course, Shatner responded with not attending the funeral. Even after his family asked him too. Shatner was an ass to everyone he worked with. Some of his petty stunts are legendary. It is actually a shame how that ended.
I don't remember DeForest Kelly ever saying anything negative about Shatner. I'm sure there are plenty of people who actually liked Shatner after working with him.
@@dannyv2468va2 That is not why Shatner didn't go. He had prior commitments to a charity event. Both Nimoy and Shatner were difficult people to work with. Roddenberry wrote them both a letter during TOS production telling them as much.
@@dannyv2468va2 It's a shame you don't tell the truth. Shatner had a former commitment to a charity event. He sent one of his daughters to attend the funeral in his place.
Yes, thank you
Just thinking about how Nimoy's comic timing took Star Trek IV to a different place. Underrated comedy duo, him and Shatner. Didn't realize quite how special that was until much later.
Leonard was an extremely talented photographer!
And a great singer, songwriter, poet, guitarist, & cartoon voice actor, as well. ^_^ My #1 all-time favoritest animated role of his is Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde in "The Pagemaster" (which is a WONDERFUL underappreciated animated/live-action movie that has been a part of many a 90s childhood, mine included). ❤
Oh, & he also loves cats, speaks fluent Yiddish, & is Jewish. 😊
(Yes, I know Leonard entered immortality several years ago, but assuming there's an afterlife, doing so should not any effect on the status of your talents/abilities, your love of cats, the languages you speak, etc. Hence, I still refer to him -- & anyone else no longer on this mortal sphere -- in the present tense. I hope this will be understandable to you. 😊 )
@TheMouseAvenger and it was as a child in a synagogue that he first saw the Vulcan salute.
The original Star Trek is awesome. A show ahead of it's time. There will never be anything like it.
And we can all thank Lucille Ball for getting Star Trek on the air since no studio would take the project. DesiLu studios produced the show.
Strat Trek II is the best Star Trek movie, my opinion; I watched it in the theaters when it first came out and loved it.
Strat Trek II? Is that the movie where Jimi Hendrix joins Captain kirk and the gang and goes back in time to save rock & roll from disco?
As a kid Spock was my favorite, and then I hadn't watched any of the old reruns until my early twenties, and then Capt kirk was my favorite and then Spock. The subtle facial expressions of the core group of actors made it good - everybody is so wooden in the new series.
Leonard nemoy was. A. WAY. FUCKING....... BETTER...... actor than Kirk was, and it's not even close...... Honestly if I was shatner I would have been jealous as FUCK just like he was back in the day (and Even now, even though nemoy is with God now [lmfaoooooooooooooo])......
Been a trekkie since 1966 when the original series came out...love this..keep up the up the great work
Awesome to see this interview. Just rewatched The Wrath of Khan recently and it still remains my fave film of the franchise.
watch the original Khan ep of Start Trek called 'Space Seed'. Ricardo Montobaun was such a great talent
@@crabtrap oh I’m aware of “Space Seed” and it’s awesome! But it has been years since I last saw it. So I will most definitely check it out again soon. Cheers!
The wrath of Khan was an extremely good science fiction film …. RIP….Leonard Nimoy….🍷..🤟🏻
William shatner was coming to my hometown of Cardiff in the uk, he was going to watch the wrath of khan with us and then tell some stories and answer questions..
sounded a bit fun i thought, make a note in my diary..
..April 2020..
needless to say it got postponed and then cancelled...
@@davidevans3227 so sorry to hear it got canceled, obviously as a result of the pandemic. I feel ya bro. Just terrible timing! Too bad as I’m sure that would have been such a fun experience. Bill is still around and kicking these days…you never know, maybe there’s a chance there will still be a screening with him in attendance in the very near future at that venue. Here’s hoping my friend.
Even having seen these interviews before watching the movie and the spoilers that were thrown out here, it was still as impactful and emotionally surprising what happened to Spock in Wrath of Kahn that even knowing ahead couldn't prepare you. That's just how good that cast was.
It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve watched it, I still cry. Great characters, great actors and great writing. 🖖
It's
KHAAAAAAN!
instead.🖖🤓
My first date with my wife was Star Trek 3. I've been been to a convention, but I am a big fan of Star Trek.
Wow ! Even after all these years they both look great for their age
They weren’t old in 1982. Both of them were 51 in 1982.
They were both 38 when the TV series ended in 1969.
Those guy were truly blessed.
It was a hit because of the actors… you Mr Shatner ❤
Not just the actors the entire team behind it up until 2005 were amazing
I haven't genuinely laughed in a long time. Thanks for posting this! I loved it!
That's because today we don't have anyone funny or entertaining for the most part. Glad to hear people are liking this though. I think it's cool too. Jimmy fallen & Jimmy Kimmel SUCK BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!! THEY'RE NOT FUNNY.
William Shatner had a career in acting before Star Trek. He had memorable roles in the early 60s. The Twilight Zone Episode where he as a passenger saw a Monster tearing apart the jet engine was epic.
I'm pausing here 1:24 to appreciate the level of dignity, and class personified back then.
like them both- they were also very well spoken and with clear mind- im happy capt kirk is still alive and im sad mr spock isnt...
No politics, just a great QB and a. Man we have gone down hill.
Great interview. Loved Merv Griffin. And love the original Trek cast. I grew up with that show.
My grandmother had to watch Merv every night
The Joan Collins episode as Edith Keeler is an incredible Star Trek episode. It was just on last week here in SC. It's called the city on the edge of forever and the story line (Writing) is amazing. I grew up watching all those original Star Trek episodes and I still love them all.
Those gentleman's are legends I love star trek👍👍👍👍👍
I have all the Star Trek movies and I will never get rid of them❤
Great movie and great cast. Always a favorite part of my childhood watching the trek movies and weekend reruns of TOS with my Dad. The friendship between these actors was evident and sincere.
I would have loved to have seen Ricardo Montalban on this show. That would have been great!
Was he too cool for Merv? I agree with you btw.
Shatner’s hair pieces are exquisite.
He must get a sore neck from carrying around such massive hairpieces
You can practically see the seam between it and his natural hair! 🖖🤣
Yep
@@Willpower-74205i think he later got a hair transplant. Today its natural
Live long and Prosper.
Wonderful! And Merv was so good. We miss this kind of TV.
Those actors and actresses and crews gave so much joy thank you
Nimoy was fun back in the day. Shatner had got better with age.
Both did a guest starring appearance on Columbo....
Shatners episode was so so but Nimoy's episode, A STITCH IN CRIME, was BRILLIANT...
Played a cold as a fish killer surgeon who tries to kill his collegue by using desolving suture and thereby killing him when the suture eventually desolves.....Man both Nimoy and Falk were fantastic
Star Trek was like Bonanza, it had a social human emotional element to it, that causes it to be timeless. The characters showed the whole gamut of human emotions.
Ever noticed how the truly loved characters are by enlarge played by modest, thoughtful and just really pleasant people. Yes, there's the odd exception but it is a huge minority. I know some negative stories surround even the good guys but these are nearly always around work situations which is a heightened and stressful environment or personality clashes which is just one of those things.
A good summary. Thank you.
Can we all applause for Shatner's wig? It's a mighty, mighty thing.
Was it really a wig??
Man I sure do miss all of the cast members who have passed. I loved Dee too. City on the Edge was EXCELLENT!! Merv's greatest legacy was the creation of "Wheel of Fortune"
Shatner has more hair here in 1982 than he did in 1968 😂
Yeah but he still beats Elton John and Elon Musk😂
he stole a spare tribble.
@@purefoldnz3070😅😅😅😂😂
Checkov wore a toupee during the series.
It's a Tribble...
Nimoy talks like a doctor
He played one in Columbo
These guys are all dressed really well. I love Shatner's tie!
Leonard Nimoy's - character - Paris on the TV show Mission Impossible is also another great character . Season 3 and 4 .
Nimoy HATED that role. He asked to be let out of his contract early.
Bill always had an Elvis Presley quality about him. Love him soooo much.
really refreshing to see them both before, let's say, the fame of the roles kind of wore on them
This is actually a while after Shatner stopped fighting it. Nimoy was ready to walk away... they talked him back for 3 by promising he could direct 4. These guys where just professional on a level it seems fewer actors are anymore. Picture the intro to Galaxy quest.... lol
These guys were always so cool. I could listen to them for hours. In fact I have!
Nimoy was awesome in Mission Impossible Also! So glad he did that show too!
I was at that convention in Houston, in 1982. Wow, I was happy to hear that!!!
Star Trek my childhood
Two guys who made it big, with a science-fiction series that was out-of-sight, or at least as far away as the beyond the Sun. It was an Enterprising movie.
So many wasted years between these two...
So many more movies could have been made.
RIP Nimoy.
I was sad that they didn't get along in Nimoy's last yrs.
I think he didn't want Shatner to see him in a bad state
Like these guys in 1982..a strong friendship at the time
Back then
This was the ultimate in science fiction for us
We started with Lost In Space and many many older sci-fi shows
OMG this is wonderful, so nostalgic. I grew up on these guys. I love Shatner, Nimoy, Kelley, Nichols, Doohan, Takei, and Koenig. The original Star Trek Crew. I'm sorry there are only three left. Holding on to them hoping they'll stay with us forever :) 🥰❤
Shatner’ s toupee’s have always been the best . Obviously they are very expensive hair pieces and they have always looked good his entire career and life.
The toupees were made for each movie and then given to him at the end of filming.
I believe they live happily on a ranch in Canada now.@@lakecountynaturalist7617
1982 and you people have NO IDEA what's-a-comin'! 🖖💜
Never seen this. Thanks for sharing.
Never seen that before. Really cool. Thanks.
I first watched Star Trek in my native country in the late 60's. Then I moved to the US and watched it in its original language. It's one of my all time favorite TV shows. Never get tired of it. LOVE SPOCK!!! Logically. (Fascinating!)
bilbo BILBO Bilbo baggins..greatest little hobbit of them all
what? lol
The ballad of Bilbooooo
Here’s a take away that no one has mentioned…… don’t smoke cigarettes. That’s the reason that Leonard is not with us now.
and dont drink, a lot of movie stars are not with us because of it, or drugs, or guns, or ropes....
Cigarette smoking 🚬 was simply more normal in his youth and lifetime
There are over 43,000 car deaths every year so Don’t Ride in a Car. There are over 4,000 drowning deaths every year so Don’t Swim. Lecturing people is fun. Makes you feel important. Right?
@@TowGunnerWhatever floats your boat. Semper Fi.
Well he probably wouldn’t be alive at the age of Shatner at this point because not a lot of people see their nineties.
Glad I got a pic with Bill. Great, absurd wonderful legend.
It's 41 years after this show was recorded. So nice to see them when they were still young.
Different times.. different people..
COMO EU QUERIA ESTAR NUM PROGRAMA DESSE. SOU O MAIOR FÃ DESSA SÉRIE E DELES TB.
10:55 is the moment Nimoy stopped being himself and became Spock.
I don't think I've appreciated before what a beautiful voice Leonard Nimoy had.
Legend's.
- the apostrophe.
He was great in Columbo
Yes!!!
Which one? They were both in Columbo?
@@whowhatwhenwherewhyhow
Both great episodes.
Shatner and Nimoy were mensches when it came to playing any role!
amazing they were already talking about the ending
They were perfect together. Captain Kirk and first officer Spock, eternal. It’s nice to know they will be out there, 200 years from now, running their section of the galaxy correctly. Indubitably.
Legends
These are my heroes, Merv great too I miss them so much
I was at a Star Trek convention and William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy were the speakers can I couldn't have enjoyed it more
Ahh, the youth of it all, including mine. Miss those younger (or older) days of the early 1980's.
Watch the digitized remakes of the series. You can see the minor seams in the sets and such. It makes one appreciate the entire process even more.
"The Wrath of COHEN! I thought you were one of us. " LMAO
This was perfectly said
In 1979, Star Trek: The Slow Motion Picture was released and as of 1982 it was still playing because the film was in slow motion.
It's the best of the films.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤я впервые увидела Стар Трек оригинальный в 50 лет👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Live long and prosper 🖖
I am hopeful and looking forward to seeing posts (preferably unedited) of Orson Welles' appearances on Merv's show, which were some of the best talk show interviews I've ever seen.
Shatner is rockin' that purple cardigan...
Man I loved the 80's!
Wow, Bill wore a rug even back when
Hey, we can almost still make out the video. Could you put a few more watermarks on it?
This is before actors and interviewers had practice interviews earlier in the day. The older I get (I'm 50), the more nostalgic I get.
Wow, didn't know that Leonard had such a cool voice in real.
2 super actors.
Two days later I was born
This is an interesting clip from The Merv Griffin Show where he interviews William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy about their experience with Star Trek. 🖖
That hairpiece is so convincing.
Leonard Nimoy was such a great guy
Lol George takei sees this on tv 📺
“…. Whaaat about meeeeeeee!!😡”
