In an interview on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Tina Fey said that her biggest frustration as producer of NBC's 75th-anniversary special was dealing with ALF's "people". Fey said Fusco would only allow ALF to appear on the show if the puppeteers were hidden from everyone else. After ALF's cameo alongside former Family Ties star Michael Gross, ALF disappeared through a hole in the riser, was stuffed into a case, and immediately removed from the building.
Yeah I've heard stories that the guy who controlled ALF was a huge pain to work with, which is why (for those of you reading the comments who don't know this) as soon as the final episode was wrapped up the guy who played Willie on the show walked off set and didn't come back for that project A.L.F. movie they did to try and fix the cliffhanger the show ended on.
6:52 Quite a change from the 1986 60th anniversary special, which had an entire segment on daytime TV. Also, that category of programming was already mostly dead as of 2002.
This is probably the last of the Unity specials that we will see of actors representing a network...wait! Actually, the TV Land Awards. Man, I miss some things.
Why weren’t Max Wright, Anne Schedeen, Andrea Elson, or Benji Gregory seated next to Alf? Why wasn’t Michael Gross with Michael J. Fox, Meredith Baxter or any of the other Family Ties cast?
When Jane Pauley and Stone Philips asked the question; it felt like they were attending a White House press conference, and they were asking a White House press secretary holding the conference
This is just sooooo cool at the start, the music, the cool Mr Grammer, how I envy such coolness.
Bob Newhart segment was great ! And Rue McClanahan did look fabulous...
5:48 RIP Betty White much love
It would be a cherry on the cake if Kelsey said at the end "It's gonna be three whole hours of clips from Frasier"
I remember watching this when it aired back in 2002 one day before my 18th birthday
5:30 is BEST moment EVER ALF and Michael Knight !!!

Nice copy and paste from Wikipedia. Well done.

Would love to see the rest of this show. I think I remember Andy Williams singing Moon River at the end! Tell me if that's right
Love this classic

I never knew the family ties between Steve Keaton and Gordon "ALF" Shumway
EPIC
Loved the show
gotta love John Ratzenberger, there are few characters quite as funny as Cliff Clavin... except maybe Esther Clavin his mother...
This is probably the last of the Unity specials that we will see of actors representing a network...wait! Actually, the TV Land Awards. Man, I miss some things.
That's Tootie man
Hard to believe Dateline was once a respectable newsmagazine now it is a reality show catching predators.
Brilliantly funny.. betty white was out of there with fallon!!!
They meant that no daytime clips as I recall (let’s be honest, Days deserved to be honored for how bat sh** crazy it was in the 90s)
Unlike the other two major networks NBC had a big to-do on their NBC 75th reunion movies and episodes of past shows, a bob hope special etc.
Why weren’t Max Wright, Anne Schedeen, Andrea Elson, or Benji Gregory seated next to Alf? Why wasn’t Michael Gross with Michael J. Fox, Meredith Baxter or any of the other Family Ties cast?
And ALF...
EPIC
then again why isn't Michael Gross seated with the other Michael, Tina, Justine, and Meredith?
Oh wow, Jimmy Fallon

Dear God, what absolute RUBBISH... I love Frasier...and Cliff Claven, but OMG This is dreadful...
