First, there was no reason for him to say anything. The gag was him. Second, it's possible that there were contractual obligations that would have prevented him from speaking in costume. Third, it's also possible that he didn't even get paid for the appearance, as it may have been a favor owed to somebody from either the NBC (Star Trek) or CBS (Carol Burnett) studios.

For those wondering why Nimoy would appear on a show being broadcast in a different studio (Trek was NBC, while Burnett was CBS), it was not unusual for guests to come from different studios. In this case, the two studios were just 20 minutes apart, not including Los Angeles traffic, of course! My guess is that somebody on the Burnett show knew somebody on the Trek show, and the rest is history!
