The irony about this is that Dr. King was incredibly proud of Nichelle's role on the show, and made her promise him that she'd stay on when she was considering not returning between seasons. She was the first actress of color not cleaning toilets or changing sheets, but an officer the same as anyone else on the bridge.
I've seen this bit a number of times, but while I originally saw the humor as being about the Star Trek Khan and the Nation of Islam (farra)Khan, I am now seeing it as a beat down, no holds barred contest in who can invoke the English language in the most twisted (vocally) way in terms of the way it sounds and still make some sense.

William Shatner was shown this clip and he loved it, busting up when Carrey spoke! Great reaction, fellas!!
"You even take the ugly ones, Captain!" 😂
From the pilot, Fox top Execs came to see this pilot for the first time. They reluctantly OKed it. The rest is history. Farrakhan said he loved it.
That was an excellent In Living Color skit. If one is familiar with the original TV series, it’s even much funnier!
Mentally, I'm still stuck in 1992...🤔
Brilliant skit ! It’s still hilarious all these years later !!
Damon Wayans was great in this and one of the most highly underrated films…The Last Boy Scout.
"Buda-Head" oh man I almost fell off my seat hahaha!
Pretty sure I missed how hilarious this was in 199?..... when I was 11...LOL!!! Thanks again Frankenstein's Lab!!!!
I always wondered why spock was 2nd in command, he was the smartest person on the ship
Hilarious!!! I loved watching this show. Whether you're Black, White, or Brown, this was a very funny show.
"I wanna do the nasty."
He took that ship😂😂
farrakhan makes another great appearance in the skit "Jews on First"!
"my loins are about to explode"
Lol then he took over an started giving orders. That show was funny.
Please do Key & Peele Outkast Reunion!
Jim Carrey is a legend.🤣
