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.
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.
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!😀
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 RUclips--the nostalgia you can tap into that can't typically be found anywhere else on the internet. Great clip.
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.
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?!🤣🖖🏻
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 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 😌
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)
You can read up on what he was up to on Wikipedia. He was still making guest appearances until two years before his death in 1998 (cancer). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip_Wilson
I enjoyed that segment. Leonard Nimoy could never leave the famous Spock character. It snuck up on him while he was talking to Flip and got some laughs out of it.😂❤
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.
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.
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.
I watched flip Wilson In the 70s when I was a kid… And Star Trek too. This is just gold. Loved both of these guys.
The Vulcan Nerve grip is vintage !
Yep. Me too. Quality entertainment back in the day. Geraldine always cracked me up.
Two legends who will never be duplicated.

I loved this show as a kid. Flip Wilson was so talented.
Variety shows were great and his was one of my favorites!
Me too. Geraldine was my favorite character. Cheers.
Same here! The Flip Wilson show was great.
I can still do the Flip Wilson handshake.
Same here.... Flip
Leonard Nimoy had such a subtle way of being HILARIOUS!!! 👏👏👏👏 A truly great talent!!! 👏👏👏👏 Rest in peace, dear sir!! ❤
Yes! He was hilarious in such a subtle way! 👏🏻😂
Ah the 70s, when Nimoy could rock a sweater and groovy necklace
We are born too late, man .. life is missing simple joys like acid trips and Woodstocks 😊
We grew up at the right time.
@@user-cz8hy1hz9xI am a 70’s baby
Wish we knew what that necklace was...

I am 65 and I used to watch the Flip Wilson Show every time it was on. He and the other comedians of that era were great.

His voice is incredible.

Thank you Alex for sharing this bit. RIP Mr. Flip Wilson and Leonard Nimoy.
Flip made everyone laugh👍 He was a talented Entertainer
Lenard’s deep voice was so great to listen to (plus he was an excellent actor) and FlIp was great this TV show that he starred in.
I had never seen this scene with Leonard Nimoy and Flip Wilson... and such a great scene. It is really great acting too.
Absolutely hilarious. And intellectual.
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.
4 you guys were wealthy /in the rural area we had 1 maybe 2 late at night😂

That was fun. I remember sitting on the living room floor watching Flip Wilson with my mom on the couch.
I miss watching this show. Flip Wilson is one of my favorite comics.
He was indeed one of the best

I loved Flip Wilson when I was a kid (3/4) - This is the first time I have seen a clip of the show since then and I see why I liked him so much.
I was born when this show was on. I remember Flip. I don't remember the show. I don't think my parents watched it.
This is classic vaudeville style comedy. Leonard Nimoy and Flip Wilson, are incredible in this and WOW!
I love Leonard's voice, him and I am a Trekkie.

I always wanted to be Flip Wilson when I was a kid. Funny, suave and so cool.

His performance in Columbo called "A Stitch In Crime" is a masterpiece

Check him out in Fringe. 👍👍
Leonard can give me that necklace he's rocking. One of kind.
He dead

after the "naked" bit, around 4:00 or so, you can see leonard straining to keep from laughing.
No cursing,, no n-words… imagine that..😮. RIP Gentlemen..❤❤
Flip Wilson was amazing, my parents watched his show every time it was on.
Oh how it would if we had celebrities of this caliber today.
Loved Flip Wilson. He was gone too soon and the younger generation doesn’t know about him. 😢
This skit was marvelous!! Two legends!!!
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?!🤣🖖🏻
Fascinating
Yup, then they had it taken off and replaced it with Cannon, a detective show
@6:36 - That's a very convincing fall by Flip, onto a hard stage without any cushion or cheat. A lot of stunt performers couldn't pull that off.
Yeah, Wilson was best known for his delivery of great one-liners and comebacks, but he was also a dynamite physical comic.
That's what you call creative writing 😁👍🏻
That was WONDERFUL to see😂 I ALWAYS watched Flip and Star Trek when I was a kid 😅😅😅😅
It was a glorious time for real TV comedy and Variety Shows. They had Celebrity roasts that are legendary.
Folks, remember he was a part of the Mission Impossible too.
My 2 showbiz heroes from childhood together, what luck
This is masterpiece!! 🤩 Thank you so much for posting it!
Long before "The Rock" had "The People's Eyebrow", L. N. was rocking it.
Fond fond memories! :) Seems like yesterday,,, when I was young,,,,
Nimoy was so cool out of character!
Actually I loved how he was both in character and out of character simultaneously
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 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 😌
My God, that was some wholesome good fun!
Really funny stuff!! From both of them! Remember Flip, he's HALF HUMAN!!
Of course I remember flip, but I never knew he was only half human: Gracie Allen.
That was hilarious. The days when we could laugh at ourselves and have fun 😂🤣😂 so sad that both of them are gone now 😢❤
I loved his show, never missed it. Always fun!
It doesn't get any better. My youth
Now *THIS* Is a Duo I Never Thought I'd See Together (!) 😳😊😅😂😄😄😂😂😂😎😊👏👏👏
Thank You For This. 🙏🧸
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)
Timeless and hilarious
It’s so eerie to see Leonard on the flip Wilson show when he was actually shooting star trek TOS🖖🏻🖖🏻
They weren't filming Star Trek anymore at this point. Star Trek ran from 1966-1969 and the Flip Wilson Show debuted in 1970 and ran through 1974.
Wow it was all so simple then but who decided to make it hard.
I miss the talented Flip Wilson and Lenord Nimoy
Two great guys right there my how the times have changed.😢
Amazing! Could you imagine them rehearsing this. 😂
Flip kept me in stitches when I was a kid.
This is Funny and Logical. LOL, (smile)
As soon as I saw Leonard Nimoy and Flip Wilson's named I HAD to click on this!
No matter how you diced it, there will never be the beautiful chemistry of the original casts of the original Star Trek series.
This is a hidden gem of a sketch between Flip and Leonard Nimoy! The Flip Wilson Show was one of my all time favorite shows when I was growing up!
I'm LMAO here. Just towards the end, I'm yelling, give him the neck pinch,! give him the neck pinch!
And he does!
Mr. Flip Wilson and Mr. Spock 2 Great peoples may they both rest easy 🙏🏾✨.
flip wilson used to be huge! i always wondered what happened to him. no one even mentions him anymore.

Flip was awesome. My favourite skits were with Geraldine and the booth in the back in the corner in the dark.
What a classic moment.
I loved the Flip Wilson Show. Used to watch it with my mom and dad!
Both these actors had dignity!
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.
I adored these guys... I wasn't allowed to watch them most of the time but every now and again I would get too.. :)
Hilarious! 🤣 Great memories. I miss them both.
Two absolutely great actors who I miss so very much!
That was a great appearance.
OMG I love both of those guys and miss them both
Oh, I'm definitely keeping this on file ❗ Never seen this b4 ❗ This is unique 👀👍❗
Intelligence is contagious❤
Hilarious! I hadn't seen this before. Thanks for posting it.
I loved this so much! 😂
One of my most favorite shows as a kid..
I’m still searching for these *early* TVLand reruns.
Check out , flip Wilson animated special , it is available on utube
This made my day!! Thank you!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Loved Flip Wilson! Also Carol Burnett and Nimoy was on both!
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.
Never missed his showc as a kid!
This is wonderful. May they both rest in peace. They earned their place in heaven.
Loved this show, this bit was funny! Loved his Geraldine character!!
Leonard Nimoy is a true gem. There could not be a better choice in all the world to play the character Spock. Granted he created the character.
Boy did Flip Wilson flameout quickly - he was incredibly popular in the early 70's.
Yeah, unlike Star Trek, there would be no Flip Wilson: The Motion Picture.
That was great. Love old Leonard.
Great comedy ‼️‼️
📻🙂
Flip Wilson was such a smart and talented person, who was gone too soon!
I never saw this episode growing up. It's hilarious!!
Very funny! Watched Flip as a child but don't recall this bit.
6:14 I thought Flip was looking to give Nimoy the Vulcan neck pinch himself!!! But Nimoy as is proper, did it at 6:36!!!!
