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

Two legends who will never be duplicated.

Yep. Me too. Quality entertainment back in the day. Geraldine always cracked me up.

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 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.

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.

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!

Thank you Alex for sharing this bit. RIP Mr. Flip Wilson and Leonard Nimoy.

His voice is incredible.

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._

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.

Flip made everyone laugh👍 He was a talented Entertainer

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!😀

Leonard can give me that necklace he's rocking. One of kind.

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 KZread--the nostalgia you can tap into that can't typically be found anywhere else on the internet. Great clip.

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.

Oh how it would if we had celebrities of this caliber today.

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

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.

Loved Flip Wilson. He was gone too soon and the younger generation doesn’t know about him. 😢

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.

Folks, remember he was a part of the Mission Impossible too.

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!

after the "naked" bit, around 4:00 or so, you can see leonard straining to keep from laughing.

This skit was marvelous!! Two legends!!!

Flip Wilson was amazing, my parents watched his show every time it was on.

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?!🤣🖖🏻

Yup, then they had it taken off and replaced it with Cannon, a detective show

It was a glorious time for real TV comedy and Variety Shows. They had Celebrity roasts that are legendary.

That was WONDERFUL to see😂 I ALWAYS watched Flip and Star Trek when I was a kid 😅😅😅😅

@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.

Long before "The Rock" had "The People's Eyebrow", L. N. was rocking it.

As soon as I saw Leonard Nimoy and Flip Wilson's named I HAD to click on this!

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. 🖖

Now *THIS* Is a Duo I Never Thought I'd See Together (!) 😳😊😅😂😄😄😂😂😂😎😊👏👏👏 Thank You For This. 🙏🧸

My God, that was some wholesome good fun!

It doesn't get any better. My youth

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)

Amazing! Could you imagine them rehearsing this. 😂

I loved his show, never missed it. Always fun!

Wow it was all so simple then but who decided to make it hard. I miss the talented Flip Wilson and Lenord Nimoy

No matter how you diced it, there will never be the beautiful chemistry of the original casts of the original Star Trek series.

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.

Flip was awesome. My favourite skits were with Geraldine and the booth in the back in the corner in the dark.

I loved this so much! 😂

Flip kept me in stitches when I was a kid.

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'm LMAO here. Just towards the end, I'm yelling, give him the neck pinch,! give him the neck pinch! And he does!
