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.
ALF picking his nose was an inside joke. When he was selling the series to the network, Paul Fusco brought out the ALF puppet in the pitch meeting and had ALF pick his nose and wipe it on Brandon Tartikoff's jacket.
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.
5:48 RIP Betty White much love
Bob Newhart segment was great ! And Rue McClanahan did look fabulous...
I remember watching this when it aired back in 2002 one day before my 18th birthday
This was the last of the pure shows thanks to all of you for the years of fun love and laughter
This was just like the SNL 40th Q&A! haha so cool
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"
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
Robert Vaughn in the audience at 1:50.........fantastic actor!!
General Stockwell.

gotta love John Ratzenberger, there are few characters quite as funny as Cliff Clavin... except maybe Esther Clavin his mother...
Tim Russert RIP
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.
ALF picking his nose was an inside joke. When he was selling the series to the network, Paul Fusco brought out the ALF puppet in the pitch meeting and had ALF pick his nose and wipe it on Brandon Tartikoff's jacket.
I never knew the family ties between Steve Keaton and Gordon "ALF" Shumway
EPIC
Brilliantly funny.. betty white was out of there with fallon!!!
That's Tootie man

Hard to believe Dateline was once a respectable newsmagazine now it is a reality show catching predators.
NBC's Dateline Is A Documentary Reality Predator Show
MTV's Ridiculousness Is The Real Reality Show That People Focus On Thanks To MTV's Lost On Music
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)
Oh wow, Jimmy Fallon
then again why isn't Michael Gross seated with the other Michael, Tina, Justine, and Meredith?
And ALF...
EPIC
ALF.
LMFAO.
😂👍‼️
When it was aired? 2001?
2002
Funny stuff
This segment ran too long
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
Dear God, what absolute RUBBISH... I love Frasier...and Cliff Claven, but OMG This is dreadful...
