I always enjoyed the scenes with Victor and Col. Douglas Austin. I miss that character on the show. He and Victor were amazingly close and it was good to see Victor having a very good friend in Douglas. I wish they would start putting the Y&R on dvd starting with season one It would be worth all the money to be able to get every season since the March 26th 1973 premiere of this iconic show.
+chanw426 lol...last week episode...Hilary brought out "you used to strip" to Nikki...word spreads so fast!!! Nikki...looks devasted when Hilary told her off. Everyone knows she used to strip back then. lol
I would like to know how these people who were nowhere near GC and do not have private conversations with the Newmans, even know about something that happened 40 years ago. Hilary bringing that up was ridiculous in my opinion. I do not believe even Neil was around back then.
Nostalgia. Researching where's Victor (Eric), today, after watching Victoria (Heather Tom), in a 95' movie here on RUclips 'Deadly Whispers'! Needless to say it took me all over the place, ultimately here, there 1st encounter. haha, he just sat motionless, starting at her.😍
Todd Smith no one is a dumb ass and no matter what it was called they said the show said that Nikki's character was a ex stripper so take that up with The Show who said she was a stripper . No matter what she her so called seduction was very cheesy and quite boring and I'm sure back in the day there were way better burlesque dancers then Nikki but since yr is a fictional soap her cheesy burlesque act work . But she's certainly no dita von tese one of the best burlesque performers ever in the world and her burlesque act certainly isn't Nikki Newman cheesy . I guess you didn't think we dumb asses as you put it didn't know about burlesque dancing well who's the dumb ass now .
the song that nikki is "stripping" to sounds alot like the theme song from designing women. i'm almost expecting to see julia or suzanne come out behind her and perform.
@2:36 That's John Gibson who played Cash, Nikki's boss at The Bayou. He was engaged to Wheel of Fortune hostess Vanna White when he died in a plane crash in May 1986
i remember the first episode that Victor Newman was introduced to Y&R it was at the police station and someone had damaged his MERCEDES, and his poor trapped wife Julia was trying to downplay it.....that was around 1980
Yes, I remember this..... Victor's friend @1:30, died in real life.... I think that was the ONLY male friend who could talk "sence" into "Victor Newman"......... those days are gone........
I don't really remember this. I guess I didn't enjoy the stripping bits as a kid, but it's fun to see now, but I keep thinking "I really miss the Colonel."
You probably have heard one of T Pain's newer songs "Can't Believe It". It's also of the same theme as his first big hit. I laughed when I heard the line "put you in a mansion, somewhere in Wisconsin".
The Brit guy with "Victor" was on an episode of "The Rat Patrol" before Hans had changed his name to Eric. Eric had been friends with him for many years. All in all, this was painful to watch. MTS is a trouper.
Agent Fungus That British gentleman was the late Michael Evans who played Victor Newman's long time butler and confidante Colonel Douglas Austin on Y&R.
That's Nikki's boss, Cash Cashman at The Bayou where Nikki worked as a stripper. He is actor John Gibson, who was engaged to Vanna White in the mid '80's. Unfortunately he died in a plane crash in May 1986, leaving Vanna totally devastated 😢
brooksjr75 I would love to see the episode where Victor has Julia's lover locked up in his basement. I was a child watching this show & that still resonates with me! Don't mess with Victor
Happy New Year .. Sure wish I could find someone who had some videos of when my mom (Stage name Bond Gideon) was on Young & Restless in 1980 as the second Jill Foster. An ex boyfriend of hers ripped off all my moms VHS videos in Hollywood that at the time were an actors resume. Tory TT
I remember seeing this scene as a child and not fully understanding what a stripper was. And then wondering why it was frowned upon. Also recently I found out she was also a prostitute. Damn, daytime TV was setting expectations high for these sex workers. Dance good enough and one day a billionaire will save you. 😂
I hate Victor's story line now. I've been a viewer off and on since the 70's and I've seen his ups and downs but his present persona makes me wanna hurl!
@hill9868 No, she did strip after this. Nikki stripped until her portrayer Melody Thomas Scott was 5 months pregnant. It was only mid 81 when she did this, Nikki wasnt pregnant until 1982.
I remember seeing this as an 11-year-old, when I used to record the audio with a tape recorder up to the TV's speaker so my mom could hear it when she got home... couldn't afford a VCR!) ....... I love the nostalgia factor of this clip, but Nikki seriously has neither the curves nor dancing skill to pull this off. Unless you're white, maybe? lol
I used to love the show. I never get to see it anymore, too busy. Melody Thomas Scott has always been so pretty & still is. This acting is so campy. Nikki doesn't really strip by today's standards (of course, this was daytime network TV, but it is even implied you've just seen the entire, uncencored show.) she tosses away all of her jewelry (how is that tantalizing?) And Douglas and Victor comment on her "talent," though the dancing is not good. Still love seeing this, though!
all strippers end up marrying rich guys or they have sugar daddies that are rich buying them whatever they want and lead them on for years and never end up marrying them.
Nikki’s lucky to have met Victor. She wouldn’t be who she is today if it weren’t for him. Working as a stripper and prostitute, she’d probably have died, that’s a dangerous business to be in.
Both of them were fortunate to have found love with each other. As far as where Nikki would be without Victor, if one believes a woman can reinvent herself and gain success independently of a man, then the answer is a positivr one. Women, like anyone else, can change and gain success including wealth without marrying into it. Today's tv writers for these shows have changed a bit since the 80's in how they present the female roles.
This was when the show was worth watching and this stripper thing wasn't the best part of the show. Do you have the episode in Nov 1981 I believe where Vanessa Prentiss jumps to her death off of Lori Brook's penthouse balcony? God what a story. Also when Suzanne Lynch in 1979 gas lighted Katherine to get her money? THESE were the Y&R people. I don't know what that progam is today that's on at the same time as this one was and still happens to be be called Y&R.
There was a scene back in either 1989 or 1990 where Nikki got drunk and stripped for Victor and Jack after a party or something. Does anyone know if that scene is circulating somewhere or if someone has it?
I always enjoyed the scenes with Victor and Col. Douglas Austin. I miss that character on the show.

I did too. Douglas was the voice of reason for Victor. He is sadly missed.
I bet that room smells like Stetson's cologne and Marlboro cigarettes
david stanley 😂😂😂
david stanley , Avon Wild Country 🤣🤣😂🤣
😂😂😂😂
Guarantee it!
💀💀😂😂🤣🤣
A love story for the ages.....between all the divorces......
Chris Snider They always divorce and get back together.
Oh my! They sure were cute and Victor was handsome then! So many years ago!!!
My mom uses to watch this in the 80's when I was a kid. I had a huge crush on Nikki...
LOL, I had forgotten Nikki started out as a stripper!
+chanw426 lol...last week episode...Hilary brought out "you used to strip" to Nikki...word spreads so fast!!! Nikki...looks devasted when Hilary told her off. Everyone knows she used to strip back then. lol

OMG, I have been looking for this.
Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏
Ladies and gentleman, this proves anyone can change.
Change what?? In and out of clothes on a dime or more valuable dollar 💰 tips...
mts looks good now for her age and looks good here too!
she is not fat. this was back when real women had real curves and not all bones.
Duske Maiden v?
Don't forget the 15 lbs the camera adds.
Nikki is thique like the Beyonce song. Nothing wrong with it.
She's not remotely fat did somebody say she was ? 🤷♀
And not massively big fake breasts and butt cheeks
Nostalgia. Researching where's Victor (Eric), today, after watching Victoria (Heather Tom), in a 95' movie here on RUclips 'Deadly Whispers'! Needless to say it took me all over the place, ultimately here, there 1st encounter. haha, he just sat motionless, starting at her.😍
I saw that episode!! Long time ago!! 😊
victor looks like tom selec
These guys DEFINITELY boosted the show's ratings in the early 80s. I don't think Y&R could've been no. 1 without these two.
Thanks for posting this video! It's the first time I've actually seen it although I've seen clips of it in montages and such.
thats the tamest PG rated strip club on earth! LMAO!!
jamesb7777a There's a reason it's called strip _tease_ . ☺
The first meeting of the King and Queen of Y&R
These two definitely put the shows on track to become the most watch daytime show by the end of the 80s
MTS has aged better than any other white actress in the history of television. she still looks amazing!!
Except Joan Collins
25 years later, T Pain has a hit "I'm in Love with a Stripper".
kav23
CE94703, in other episodes, Nikki really did take it all off. Specifically, during the story of someone stalking her, back in 1981.
I remember when Nikki was dancing at the Bayou. Colonel Douglas Austin takes Victor there for the first time!!! Victor and Nikki meet!!!
That must be the pg13 rated type of strip
Joint. Lol!
Todd Smith no one is a dumb ass and no matter what it was called they said the show said that Nikki's character was a ex stripper so take that up with The Show who said she was a stripper .

A man you need to chill with these stereotypes
Nikki is a role model to me. She started out a stripper and ended up marrying the wealthiest man in the town
+Penguins Of Love then looks down on Sharon and starts calling her a gold digger
+steve joe haha
Penguins Of Love Victor and Nikki forever!
She actually started out free loading at her sister place.
Penguins Of Love 😂😂😂😭😭
the song that nikki is "stripping" to sounds alot like the theme song from designing women. i'm almost expecting to see julia or suzanne come out behind her and perform.
Wow - the Colonel
I miss Colonel Austin. He was the voice of reason in the relationship between Victor and Nikki. ❤
Nikki should be last person to be judging anyone
that was the rowdiest round of golf claps ever
Let it be noted that this first meeting-siting of Victor and Nikki occurred in September 1981.
That is the late John Gibson. He played Nikki's boss at The Bayou, Cash.
LOL! And to think that was considered dancing back then. WAM.
I thought the same thing. That song had to have been inspired by Victor and Nikki. A montage of them to that song so needs to be made LOL.
Seriously y'all, this was on day time tv in... what, 1979? 1980. Did y'all expect to see boobs? seriously?
jwatwater You still don't see them on daytime television today.
John W Landry Well Kelly Monaco has shown more skin on GH than you see on primetime!
thank-you for the reply :) I do remember Cash, he looks similar to Simon Baker in that shot :)
@2:36 That's John Gibson who played Cash, Nikki's boss at The Bayou. He was engaged to Wheel of Fortune hostess Vanna White when he died in a plane crash in May 1986
Victor like..😍
LMAO!!!
i never thought about that until I read this
that song describes V/N so much lol
i remember the first episode that Victor Newman was introduced to Y&R it was at the police station and someone had damaged his MERCEDES, and his poor trapped wife Julia was trying to downplay it.....that was around 1980
He had her locked in a cage in the basement for months didn’t he!?
Yes, I remember this..... Victor's friend @1:30, died in real life.... I think that was the ONLY male friend who could talk "sence" into "Victor Newman"......... those days are gone........
Getrealpeeps.
Yeah, i noticed that. Especially when he opens the door and sees Nikki standing there...lol
Melody Thomas Scott was simply gorgeous back then. She must have been 23 at the time.
wtf66611
I don't really remember this. I guess I didn't enjoy the stripping bits as a kid, but it's fun to see now, but I keep thinking "I really miss the Colonel."
mine too Hope they get back together
Wow ,.....just wow
I had totally forgotten about Douglas.
You probably have heard one of T Pain's newer songs "Can't Believe It". It's also of the same theme as his first big hit. I laughed when I heard the line "put you in a mansion, somewhere in Wisconsin".
Austin says "She's a fine talent." The Bayou......where Victor met Nikki!
You know when his song came out I thought of V/N and wondered if he watches Y&R! *LOL*
Ha ha ha O Lawd Nikki!
Nicki was NO Gypsy Rose ... That's for sure!
She could've filled the bill as a Breck girl tho💰
The Brit guy with "Victor" was on an episode of "The Rat Patrol" before Hans had changed his name to Eric. Eric had been friends with him for many years.
All in all, this was painful to watch. MTS is a trouper.
Agent Fungus That British gentleman was the late Michael Evans who played Victor Newman's long time butler and confidante Colonel Douglas Austin on Y&R.
John W Landry : Thanks for info!
Agent Fungus You betcha!
victor was very young looking here WOW!
Can we get the full episode of this?
wwedxecw mo oh km. ifbop
who is the face in the crowd at 2:34, to me he looks a lot like Simon Baker from The Mentalist, anyone know?
That's Nikki's boss, Cash Cashman at The Bayou where Nikki worked as a stripper. He is actor John Gibson, who was engaged to Vanna White in the mid '80's. Unfortunately he died in a plane crash in May 1986, leaving Vanna totally devastated 😢
All the times Nikki badmouthed Sharon for being from "the wrong side of the tracks".
@ least she was paid to do that lol 😆🎉
And that's how Victor and Nikki met. No wonder they are controversial.
What year is this
weird as it sounds,Melody Scott Thomas was once on an episode of ''My Name Is Earl''
Women could get away with not having Barbie waists on TV back then.
Wow! I have wanted to see this for years! The other scene I need to see is when Nikki finds Victor in bed with Ashley..
brooksjr75 I would love to see the episode where Victor has Julia's lover locked up in his basement. I was a child watching this show & that still resonates with me! Don't mess with Victor
NIKKI !!!!
today I just found out Nikki was a stripper. 😂😂I’m definitely showing my age
I saw her on an episode of the waltons before this. She was Bens girlfriend.
For reals ?? : o
The only stripper on daytime TV
Happy New Year .. Sure wish I could find someone who had some videos of when my mom (Stage name Bond Gideon) was on Young & Restless in 1980 as the second Jill Foster. An ex boyfriend of hers ripped off all my moms VHS videos in Hollywood that at the time were an actors resume. Tory TT
I remember Bond Gideon! She was the second Jill, and Deborah Adair was the third.
0:12 whats the name of the song
I remember seeing this scene as a child and not fully understanding what a stripper was. And then wondering why it was frowned upon. Also recently I found out she was also a prostitute. Damn, daytime TV was setting expectations high for these sex workers. Dance good enough and one day a billionaire will save you. 😂
No prob. More to come soon.
What year?
1980
I heard 83,but it could be 80
Oy, Nikki's got nothing on Dita.
whats the soundtrack of this?
I believe Nikki was raiding Cher's closet.
I hate Victor's story line now. I've been a viewer off and on since the 70's and I've seen his ups and downs but his present persona makes me wanna hurl!
Victor and his porn mustach. LOL
I dont love the dance routine, but wow Nikki is fine..
any idea the date this episode first aired? wow, seems like so long ago
I think this was 1980
1974
I wach this in 2016 And I am 10
Marissa Ybarra
Marissa Aaliyah Okay?
Uh...this was before Anna Nicole Smith ! (same storyline)
Nikki was a half-ass dancer but the crowd got rowdy !!
Jump Shot only thing Victor wasn't 95 and in a wheelchair.
Nikki was a hot ass mess but put her to talk about and treat others like shit. Always passing judgement.
Nicki Was so Naughty !!!!
Nikki Reed
Jay terry and nurse Joy get married on the young and the restless 😊❤💓💞💕
@hill9868 No, she did strip after this. Nikki stripped until her portrayer Melody Thomas Scott was 5 months pregnant. It was only mid 81 when she did this, Nikki wasnt pregnant until 1982.
Ironic. Exactly how Anna Nicole Smith met her rich husband.
I remember seeing this as an 11-year-old, when I used to record the audio with a tape recorder up to the TV's speaker so my mom could hear it when she got home... couldn't afford a VCR!) ....... I love the nostalgia factor of this clip, but Nikki seriously has neither the curves nor dancing skill to pull this off. Unless you're white, maybe? lol
Plus she was pregnant in real life while she was doing this
how does victor ends up a strip joint?
I used to love the show. I never get to see it anymore, too busy.
Melody Thomas Scott has always been so pretty & still is. This acting is so campy. Nikki doesn't really strip by today's standards (of course, this was daytime network TV, but it is even implied you've just seen the entire, uncencored show.) she tosses away all of her jewelry (how is that tantalizing?) And Douglas and Victor comment on her "talent," though the dancing is not good. Still love seeing this, though!

I wouldnt really call nikki a stripper..there was no pole lol

Timothy Jones: good scene. Just saw it. Look up "Nikki strips in front of Victor & Jack" Victor loved it & Jack too.
Wow. Victor could have done better. 😄
How did Nikki become a stripper?
flat ass
gross
Completely talentless 😵💫
