Rest well Mr. Nimoy. You have been a great influence to millions of Americans. Your character Mr. Spock will be enjoyed by future generations to come. We all will miss you!
What I really liked in this interview, is that aside from the COPD discussion, much of it were questions that Nimoy has answered a million times yet he took it and answered with humor and interest. He seemed glad to be there and share. Many, many actors don't want to talk about the "old days", they just want to push whatever new book or activity they are involved with.
I was a Respiratory Therapist for 30 years and I noticed that Mr. Nimoy was using his accessory muscles to breath for some time before this was announced. I know people are saying he looked good here but to me I see his decline as very evident. So heartbreaking. COPD is a slow strangling end. Please if you don’t smoke DON’T START!
Class act, I love to hear him talk about such a serious issue, then talking about his family so lovingly, then being kindly and humorously indulgent of the trekkie culture questions. What a great pillar you are Leonard. You will be missed.
When I was 20 I saw Nimoy in a NYC subway train. I recognized who it was he looked up I smiled at him he gave back a polite return grin. In NY you don't go up to people, you leave them alone. Thats my Nimoy story.
I'm a native New Yorker (you have to be born here to understand how it works) and that's exactly right. While checking myself in the mirror I saw out of the corner of my eye John Belushi taking a leak at a urinal in the men's room of a movie theater in Manhattan. He noticed I noticed, put his finger up to his lips as if to say, "shh", I smiled, he smiled back, I left, and that was that. That's my Belushi story. The movie was "Jaws", by the way.
@@Rayoscope That's a cool and awesome story. John Belushi was a bright star that burned out too soon. Bet he was doing backflips on his way into the pearly gates.
Leonard used Spock as a philosophical tool- very erudite and reflective. He was a great guy, took a little bit of his heritage (shin/Shekhinah) and used it to wonderful effect. This is the truest realization of bringing your culture with you.
He looks so vital here, despite his COPD. Sadly, he passed within a year of making this! Such a wonderful portrayal of his character, Mr. Spock. He influenced a generation. You will be missed : (
You never know what is around the corner. He lived his life to the full and will likely be remembered for a very long time, far long than any person who is alive today.
I quit 36 years ago, and it was really difficult then. But, I'm so happy I was able to kick that habit. Rest In Peace Mr. Nimoy, you'll always live in our hearts.
As much pain as he was going through, he took it like a champ and it never affected his character. He always had a smile. He was a TRUE MANLY MAN AND HE HAD A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE.
Indeed, way better than any anti-stuff could be :D I really can't understand people to even start with it (even my own mum angers my just for smoking) still I cannot hate Leonard for it :p I really do love him too much. I wonder however how he could ever do it while Spock was always in his head. He must have said a hundreth of times he was acting illogically or even simply stupid :p :p
+Hanne Lemahieu People are quitting smoking, today, due to financial reasons (meh). ;) :) *Edit*: Inhale my doobie Ain't it kinda groovy You'll be shinin' like a ruby It ain't nothin' to me *** in case you wonder 'bout smokin' LOL xD
collegeman1988 Do you and these other people pay any attention, he quit smoking when he was in his 50s!! Dah.he could have saved alot of lives chose not to do it, only when faced with his mortality.
The only time I EVER watched an entire Piers Morgan show; Leonard Nimoy I think is a very good reason. R.I.P. Mr. Spock, you will live long and prosper in many people's memories.
God Bless You Leonard, you will be missed. I grew up watching Star Trek, one of the finest TV shows and ahead of it's time for sci-fi shows. Thanks for all those years of enjoyment 'Spock'.
King Voxel IT wasn't like he was just diagnosed it just isn't that kind of disease. He quit smoking in his 50s, probably was diagnosed then, or he'd would have probably continued smoking. If for 30 years he would have really went out and was a champion for COPD, and not smoking, COPD would have a chance to be cured , or at least very advanced treatments. He could have saved many lives.
It's 2019 and I gotta say, that void of losing Leonard Nimoy couldn't be filled with all interactions of enterprises. Still miss the one and only Mr Spock.
My husband & I met & spoke with Mr. Nimoy in Dayton, Ohio in 1980. (Thank you, again, for the opportunity, Louise Strange!) We had enjoyed his one-man show, "Vincent", at the Victoria Theatre. He was very gracious & personable, & appreciated our politeness & decorum. He is greatly missed.
Same here! They kept saying, after so many years your lungs are like someone's who never smoked. Clearly the medical professionals got that one wrong. Bad advice, Again.
Sad that he would pass away a year later. A great talent indeed. It is obvious that Shatner and him were not close during the last year or so. Very sad, but at least Mr. Nimoy was a pro with his answer in regards to their friendship.
I saw the first Star trek motion picture 1980 I think. It was at a theater in Eugene Oregon. When William shatner's name came on the screen everyone gave him on applause. When Leonard Nimoy's name came on the screen He got a standing ovation! These folks were the catalyst for what we now call cosplay. Star trek conventions were really the very first true science fiction conventions of any note. The first one he ever went to drew 27,000 people and had to shut it down because there were so many people there.
Leonard was hospitalized on January 19, (2015) with severe chest pains. This was just revealed today (1/23) -- Prayers and love! He's been tweeting his poetry, so I hope he's feeling better
Copd killed him soon after. I'm having a smoke as I watch this. I'm quitting tomorrow after 33 years paying a fortune to throw away my health. It might be too late for me now but I'm not giving another penny to the death trade. Miss you Leonard!
My Dad died July 2020. His only, and I mean only health problem was 100% due directly from cigarettes. No, Mr. Nimoy, my Dad was an Olympic smoker. He never was a drinker, never any drugs but boy those cigarettes and coffee were his favorite. Dam cigarettes 🚬.
As a young guy I smoked for 5 years. Took the next year to quit. I would jog anywhere up to three miles a day. An active life style helped me to quit. I was an alcoholic for 10 years. been clean for 34 years. Fortunately for me the Liver can heal well. Change of diet using the spice Turmeric and other supplements.
Of all the things I've learned and all the things I've accomplished in life and humanity.....smoking overshadows them as my ultimate failure! P.S. I was born March 6,1961. in Vulcan, Alberta, Canada, a town that dearly loves all the cast and workers that gave us Star Trek...You will be missed but NEVER forgotten Leonard...thanks for the memories
I've lost everyone I have ever loved due to their smoking, and even got cancer myself from second hand smoke. Now my child hood hero is gone because of it.
Please look into Alternative, Holistic therapies, Nunya...to help insure good health for the future. Things like herbs and chiropractic can freq. make a HUGE difference.
Bill Benton Stop peddling dangerous bullshit to vulnerable people. People need to get the best standard of care possible. When alternative medicine is proven to help, it will become medicine.
Bill Benton "By definition", I begin "Alternative Medicine", I continue "Has either not been proved to work, Or been proved not to work. You know what they call alternative medicine That’s been proved to work? Medicine." -Tim Minchin, Storm
Bill Benton My aunt died because the holistic witch doctor she was seeing talked her out of correct treatment. While good nutrition helps to keep the body otherwise healthy and strong, one cannot cure cancer with herbs and spices. Actual medicine is needed. I have been cured by proper medical care. I use herbs from my herb garden to season my food and yes there are some things that can be treated by herbs, but again, cancer isn't one of them. As for chiropractors, they are all quacks. There is no actual science to back it up. As for huge difference, it made a huge difference to my aunt, it killed her.
Leonard Nimoy my all time favourite actor in "Star Trek" not only this TV Series but also the brilliant "In Search Off" Series which I found on eBay a few years back plus I watch him on TV all those years ago and he was a brilliant voiceover speaker for the series as well as an excellent actor. God loves you Leonard and so do I Miss you.
***** My father went to school with him at Boston English High School. I have his yearbook and there are photos of him in it. But I never even knew my father knew Leonard Nimoy until years after my father died. He never told me. I was going through his old things and found the yearbook and a birthday card Mr. Nimoy gave him. I was a HUGE Star Trek fan as a kid. At first I didn't believe it or thought it was a different Leonard Nimoy but then I asked my Mom about it and she confirmed that it was true. There were only a few hundred of those yearbooks printed. I just wish I had thought to get Mr. Nimoy to autograph if. I'm sure he would have. It and the card are among my most prized possessions. I just don't understand all those times we sat around the TV watching Star Trek together and my parents just never mentioned my Dad knew him, especially the year my brother and I dressed up as Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock for Halloween. I think I was ten and my brother was 7. I wanted to be Spock but my brother had a better face for it.
Chris Coppola I have read two books by the gentleman and watched numerous interviews. I have never heard him or anyone else claim he was Irish. In fact he has frequently stated quite clearly that his parents were both Ukrainian Jews. Please tell me where you heard anyone say that Leonard Nimoy was Irish?
Chris Coppola Oh yeah OK. I wasn't expecting humor on this page. I suppose Irish people are sick of non Irish people claiming to be Irish and that was the context I read your comment in.
Leonard Nimoy is with the Red Shirts now :( a friend of mine, his father was a officer in the British Army, a Doctor I remember him telling us that even if you smoke for a while then give up there is still filth in your lungs that never goes, they are never as clean as they were before someone started smoking They get you when young, some kids think it's a way to rebel not realising the rich families and big corporations are the ones making almost 100% profit on them it's more conformity that rebelling. it's not nice visiting old friends or family member on their death bet crying and wishing they never started in the first place
@5:40 Morgan asks if Nimoy & Shatner are still friends. Nimoy tries to be tactful and not give a straight answer, but sadly we now know they were not speaking during the last years of Leonard's life. That seems a shame.
You have to understand that Leonard is a Vulcan who has the life expediency of 200 years so that being said he still has another 120 years of life left.
Oh quit being a kook! You sound like a moron. Leonard is HUMAN, not Vulcan, and he probably only had a few years left at this point. *Note: Leonard Nimoy died Feb. 27, 2015, just a year and 2 weeks after this interview with Piers Morgan.
Love Leonard Nimoy. Loved Star Trek. Loved all the ST characters and actors. My favorite was Mr. Spock. How sweet of his granddaughter to build a business on her grandfather and for him to promote it. =)
Kudos to Leonard Nimoy for putting up with that sack of crap. From the first question Piers cannot help himself but to interrupt Mr. Nimoy as he tries to answer the question. Leonard Nimoy is a class act and all around nice guy
He looked so good here. Hard to believe he was 82 here! I hope I look that good at that age. Bah who am I kidding, I look horrible now, it can only get worse lol. Anyway, RIP Leonard. You were and still are a fantastic human being.
I loved Mr. Spock..he was the first vegan that I had heard of...I hope that he is aware and fully awakened somewhere across the Universe..live long Mr. Spock.
I just found out I have COPD. I also have the feeling of not being able to take a full breath. Until I just heard Mr. Nimoy talking about that symptom I never connected it. Wow. RIP LEONARD NIMOY!
...a life well-lived. Congratulations Mr. Nimoy. IF you have a chance, search the youtube archives for Nimoy's reflections on life in the west end of Boston. His love of Yiddish is life affirming (for me).
My granny died of COPD like Leon Nimoy did and she smoked all her life. Considering he's got lung cancer here I think Leonard Nimoy's taking it very well. I don't think I would of been so happy as he was after discovering that.
Tobacco companies unfortunately have gotten away with murder......literally! The 1994 settlement was no where near enough to compensate their recklessness, and the fact that they are still allowed to sell their products is pathetic! Why can't we legalize hemp and cannabis, and outlaw tobacco?
THIS interview was fine...though I'll agree that these NeoCon commentators are frequently awful. Limbaugh is simply awful, e.g. Joe Boehner should be put in a mental institution.
I'm a die hard Trekie... But even I could see Leonard did this interview to give more awareness to his condition, and to possibly save lives... and this dope keeps going to the same hack Star Trek questions. Nimoy had class! He will be missed... But now that Piers show is off the air ... I'm glad to say that he won't!

“He’s not dead.... as long as we remember him.” -Dr. Leonard McCoy (From Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan).
Very True. I will remember him for as long as I live.

@@Rayoscope And we stayed in a hotel suite right after he did. That's all I'll say about that!
Bless this fine great man. May he rest in peace. A great interview.
He gave to others...all the way to the end...even by the giving of himself to this interview...a real class act indeed. RIP Sir.
Leonard used Spock as a philosophical tool- very erudite and reflective. He was a great guy, took a little bit of his heritage (shin/Shekhinah) and used it to wonderful effect. This is the truest realization of bringing your culture with you.

Watching this gives you a sense on how much of a class act he was. The world is a little worse off tonight. RIP Leonard Nimoy.
"Amok Time" was an EXCELLENT episode because it peeled back some of the "mystery" surrounding Vulcans and Vulcan society.
"Journey to Babel" :-)

I love the chemistry between them, I really enjoyed Leonards laughter! He was a wonderful man for sure ❤😢
it is so heart braking to think of Leonard Nimoy in the past even in 2016 :(((( R.I.P. Leonard you are missed!
Even in 2021! Still miss him!
Just s up you2 with your 2016......2021 pathetic people
We miss you Leonard. Please send our best to Gene, Majel, DeForest James and Anton.
Peace and long life.
Live long and prosper.
What a wonderful man. A sad loss to the world. RIP Mr. Nimoy!
Hard to believe that he left us five years ago now. Such a talented and humble man.
6 years ago now. 🖖🏻
What a legend. Should have won a Emmy for Spock
Nominated for all three seasons, but never won :-( The Emmys never took Trek seriously. But yes, he deserved all three!
Really saddened by his death. At least he faced his death with a sharp mind, rather than being ridden with an Alzheimers or such disease for years.
Kalle but, in the end he could not breathe....not remembering or not breathing...wow...there is no choice.....breathe....you have to breathe.
This. 100%.
As much pain as he was going through, he took it like a champ and it never affected his character. He always had a smile. He was a TRUE MANLY MAN AND HE HAD A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE.
What a nice guy. It's good that he quit smoking and that he's going public and telling others to quit.
Yeah, he's helping others quit by doing this. :-)
Indeed, way better than any anti-stuff could be :D I really can't understand people to even start with it (even my own mum angers my just for smoking) still I cannot hate Leonard for it :p I really do love him too much.
I wonder however how he could ever do it while Spock was always in his head. He must have said a hundreth of times he was acting illogically or even simply stupid :p :p

Therese Bohn people do not want to quit unless they want to quit....did the CDC commercials or warnings on the pack stop Mr. Nimoy. No, it did not.

Nimoy was such a wonderful actor. I've looked up to him since before I can remember, and, as it turned out, he was a wonderful human being, too.
I had the pleasure to work with Len and he was immensely talented and kind.
I will never forget him.
Smoking is illogical.
just like women
You got that right.
King Voxel IT wasn't like he was just diagnosed it just isn't that kind of disease. He quit smoking in his 50s, probably was diagnosed then, or he'd would have probably continued smoking. If for 30 years he would have really went out and was a champion for COPD, and not smoking, COPD would have a chance to be cured , or at least very advanced treatments.

Well said. Smoking is illogical.

The agonizer
lol
@@PN1296 ...please.
no such thing.. lol

It's 2019 and I gotta say, that void of losing Leonard Nimoy couldn't be filled with all interactions of enterprises. Still miss the one and only Mr Spock.
My husband & I met & spoke with Mr. Nimoy in Dayton, Ohio in 1980. (Thank you, again, for the opportunity, Louise Strange!) We had enjoyed his one-man show, "Vincent", at the Victoria Theatre. He was very gracious & personable, & appreciated our politeness & decorum. He is greatly missed.
He was utterly excellent.
What a guy. Died Feb of 2015 almost exactly a year after this interview.

LLAP back to you! You're welcome. To see more of Nimoy stuff, check out my Star Trek Blog -trekkerscrapbook.com Enjoy!
He really brought awareness to this issue. For years, I had heard that your lungs completely heal after a certain point.

Yea AMAZING interview,Leonard Nimoy look excelent,I see StarTrek since 80s ,God bless you Leonard. Hello from Costa Rica.***
Carlos, how lovely to read this. Mi esposo es Tico tambien.
I will always look up to Mr. Nimoy and his version of Spock. The true version. Never met the man but when he died I felt like I'd lost a mentor
I'm surprised Piers did not bring up the discussion of banning phaser pistols in the 23rd century.
***** lol very funny
+Jeremy Hopper Hehe, "Leonard Nimoy: LIVE LONG AND PROSPER". :))
Lol.. Piers has actually modified his gun stance. . So i guess it wasn't a go to topic anymore.
There's always has to be some nutjob shitwad nearby, ready to attempt to belittle people around and be pathetic.
impressed at the editing... host says COPD and McCoy looks up alarmed, then Uhura sees and gets worried
Being stuck in a room with Piers Morgan is a fate worse than death

Don't like piers, he is a nob, but I like him in this, he is like a kid meeting a hero, hehe. He is human after all ol' piers, who knew.
Nevyn Tanis He was very nice
Piers is a nasty piece of work, good interview though.
Leonard Nimoy is with the Red Shirts now :(
a friend of mine, his father was a officer in the British Army, a Doctor
I remember him telling us that even if you smoke for a while then give up
there is still filth in your lungs that never goes, they are never as clean as they were before someone started smoking
They get you when young, some kids think it's a way to rebel
not realising the rich families and big corporations are the ones making almost 100% profit on them
it's more conformity that rebelling.
it's not nice visiting old friends or family member on their death bet crying and wishing they never started in the first place
What a classy gent. Love the part when he talks about how wonderful his family is.
Rest in peace My friend
goodbye Spock you, we love you and alway will be remembered, le long and proper.
I will miss you, "Mr. Spock". And I will miss a great and talented actor that was/is Leonard Nimoy.
RIP Leonard Nimoy
Live long and Prosper Spock
rest in peace Lenard your acting touched millions
This man, has given Humanity more than ervery President combined.
Leonard is a great man and he is missed
I'm so saddened to learn that he didn't make it. Rest long and peacefully, Mr. Nimoy.
@5:40 Morgan asks if Nimoy & Shatner are still friends. Nimoy tries to be tactful and not give a straight answer, but sadly we now know they were not speaking during the last years of Leonard's life. That seems a shame.
This is the reason why I think he didn’t cut him off cause of that one issue, but because he didn’t want people remembering him sick. Not uncommon.
R.I.P Leonard Nimoy
May he truly reach 'The Final Frontier'
You have to understand that Leonard is a Vulcan who has the life expediency of 200 years so that being said he still has another 120 years of life left.
Oh quit being a kook! You sound like a moron. Leonard is HUMAN, not Vulcan, and he probably only had a few years left at this point.
*Note: Leonard Nimoy died Feb. 27, 2015, just a year and 2 weeks after this interview with Piers Morgan.
@@jadziajax2043 Think he was joking.
Love Leonard Nimoy. Loved Star Trek. Loved all the ST characters and actors. My favorite was Mr. Spock. How sweet of his granddaughter to build a business on her grandfather and for him to promote it. =)
lovely len. the darling star trek crowd. soon we will all be heading for the final frontier. gods bless my father in spirit ...rip len. xx
He lived a good life. And will be remembered.
Ever the gentleman. RIP Mr Nimoy.
Piers was so lucky to meet an icon like Mr Nimoy amongst others. Pity he didn't give piers the vulcan grip so he could a few more words in edgewise.
I quit smoking in 1992. Leonard will live forever in the universe.
Rest easy Leonard. Miss you always
Kudos to Leonard Nimoy for putting up with that sack of crap. From the first question Piers cannot help himself but to interrupt Mr. Nimoy as he tries to answer the question. Leonard Nimoy is a class act and all around nice guy
Hate to see you leave us Spock, but we know you go boldly!
He looked so good here. Hard to believe he was 82 here! I hope I look that good at that age. Bah who am I kidding, I look horrible now, it can only get worse lol. Anyway, RIP Leonard. You were and still are a fantastic human being.
+AdamLProductions LOLz, yo! xD
AdamLProductions 82 is above the average life expectancy for a American male. So, he did good...real good,
I loved Mr. Spock..he was the first vegan that I had heard of...I hope that he is aware and fully awakened somewhere across the Universe..live long Mr. Spock.
I just found out I have COPD. I also have the feeling of not being able to take a full breath. Until I just heard Mr. Nimoy talking about that symptom I never connected it. Wow. RIP LEONARD NIMOY!
...a life well-lived. Congratulations Mr. Nimoy. IF you have a chance, search the youtube archives for Nimoy's reflections on life in the west end of Boston. His love of Yiddish is life affirming (for me).
+Glenn Leahey Gah, spending too much time -hear- in teh comments... Anywho, so, what's a life not-well-lived, then?! ;DP
RIP Leonard.
Thoroughly decent guy. Looking unbelievably good too. This is a man I definitely aspire to!
This was randomly recommended to me in 2022 and me being a massive treky I fucking love it
My granny died of COPD like Leon Nimoy did and she smoked all her life. Considering he's got lung cancer here I think Leonard Nimoy's taking it very well. I don't think I would of been so happy as he was after discovering that.
He will be missed inspired millions and more to come we need more star trek so that we can achieve perfection
Wow. Peirs actually showed respect to a guest. And a very beautiful guest
Tobacco companies unfortunately have gotten away with murder......literally! The 1994 settlement was no where near enough to compensate their recklessness, and the fact that they are still allowed to sell their products is pathetic! Why can't we legalize hemp and cannabis, and outlaw tobacco?
A Gentleman R.I.P. Lenard
Piers Morgan is a complete buffoon, but I enjoyed listening to Leonard Nimoy. R.I.P. Leonard Nimoy 1931 - 2015.
THIS interview was fine...though I'll agree that these NeoCon commentators are frequently awful. Limbaugh is simply awful, e.g. Joe Boehner should be put in a mental institution.
Bill Benton If you think Boehner is bad, you should listen to John Bolton, the ultra NeCon hawk.
I'm a die hard Trekie... But even I could see Leonard did this interview to give more awareness to his condition, and to possibly save lives... and this dope keeps going to the same hack Star Trek questions. Nimoy had class! He will be missed... But now that Piers show is off the air ... I'm glad to say that he won't!
