Yeah, necklaces with big medallions were a thing back then. The Bee Gees, Carl Weathers, & Isaac Hayes to name a few. Mr T took it to the extreme, of course 🥇 I've even seen an episode of Streets of San Francisco recently, where Burgess Meredith plays the sage from some metaphysical cult group. Wearing a medallion and chain, and dressed in a robe
Leonard had an amazing smile! His face just lights up! You rarely saw it on Star Trek since he was supposed to be devoid of emotion. Great loss with both of these great actors.
This was such a fun show. Flip was charming and funny and had great guests who seemed to always be having a good time. Thanks, Flip, for making us laugh.
I didn't see this episode when I was a kid. I enjoyed seeing it now. I was waiting for the neck pinch from Spock, then Leonard Nimoy and flip wilson delivered. I miss both of them.
More bass than I remember from _Trek._ I think he pitched Spock's voice higher than his normal range. He was also an accomplished musical theater performer. He did many versions of _Fiddler on the Roof._
I remember watching Flip Wilson growing up as a kid.❤ we only had 4 channel stations to watch. I miss those days. We didn't sit around all day watching tv.
@@cecilb3216 We had as many as 3 sometimes. My dad would have to climb up on the roof every few months with a pipe wrench to point the antenna to the translator while mom told him when the picture was best.
What a great act together! Both men were hilarious and so natural in their roles. I watched Flip Wilson when I was younger and I laughed often at his antics even though I didn't understand everything I saw. This is another reason why I love RU-vid--the nostalgia you can tap into that can't typically be found anywhere else on the internet. Great clip.
This was great! It is ironic too that I have been reading a book written by William Shatner about the life of Leonard Nimoy. My family and I used to watch "Flip Wilson" every week back in the day and he was always really funny!😀
Two excellent performers. That was a very clever comedy bit - loved it. It was awesome when they flipped character near the end and Flip became very analytical. I bet they wrote it together.
I met Leonard Nimoy and he photographed my father, my sister and me for his book Secret Selves I think it's called shortly before he passed. I went to say hello to him and I was completely starstruck, I was a background actor and I've met plenty of "stars" but for some reason, because I was so used to him in my mind from childhood, and his character was so compelling. My mind was like: "You are talking to Mr. Spock, you are talking to Mr. Spock".....I blabbered something about being a fan...but I literally could not process meeting him in real life. It was strange. I'm also really impressed by Flip Wilson, this was before my time, but it was such an innocent time, I would have loved to have lived in it as an adult.
He will always be Spock! He could not get away from that character no matter what he did! And he did play other characters very well! He was on Mission Impossible! He was on TJ Hooker! He played in many different western movies and TV shows! But his character of Spock kept him type cast!
I love Spock, love Leonard Nimoy. I have seen him in other roles and he was great. Honestly, I think part of the type casting is his voice. It fits such a logical characlter so well. IDK.
This flashback really caught me off guard…. holy moly Flip Wilson!!! My dad watched very little TV and Flip was one of the rarities he joined the rest of the family to watch without fail. I was 9 when the show ended. Another world…
It's been way over 50 years since I watched The flip Wilson show and this was hilarious I wonder how Mr.Nimoy would react to Flip dressed as Geraldine?!🤣🖖🏻
I LOVED flip Wilson!! He was my favorite as a kid. Never missed a show! The whole family would sit around the tv 📺 to watch Flip Wilson! Those days were soo great 😌
When I was a kid, my brother found a plushie Flip Wilson/Geraldine doll. It had a pull-string which played 3-4 second clips of Flip Wilson (or Geraldine) saying one of his presumably-famous lines.
i believe, little does Mr. Leonard Nimoy knows 'that he has 'influenced' thousands of people, around the world, through his character, Spock... ('love this person, ...from the Philippines)
We watched Flip’s show all the time! Geraldine was such a funny character. “In the back, in a booth, in the corner, in the dark!” 😅 And I’m a Trekkie to this day. 🖖
I used to love watching Flip Wilson. Adored Star Trek The Original Series. Watched it from its first airing in Australia and have never grown tired of rewatching it.
I could not wait to watch the show when it came on. Life seemed so much simpler. You could actually enjoy hanging out with the family for a show or two.
What a wonderful variation on the old vaudeville routines and with Flip Wilson and Leonard Nimoy! Flip and Leonard milked it all the way to the final spot. Hilarious and very well done. Loved both of these guys as a kid.
