Star Trek - Shatner and Nimoy " 1966 Interviews"

[CatspitProductions]

Shat pulled out a killer analogy for his newly acquired position as the Captain of the Enterprise... Come get some Catspit~! ☠

[vmurt]

Wow - thanks for posting this!! Gosh Shatner was gorgeous back in the day!

[Wretchedable]

anyone else notice that Jim Kirk/shatner speaks just like Obama? ;)

[usaeagle1776]

pretty awesome.

[55kudu]

Shatner is wearing the android outfit from "What Are Little Girls Made Of?", an early episode. Cool!

[ctwomey]

@55kudu I found myself thinking the same thing! Are we a couple of nerds, or what? ;)

[55kudu]

@ctwomey Observant nerds!

[RayDequina]

"It has to do with people. That's what science fiction really is."

Wow, even Shatner gets that. Most impressive.

[antipodal2011]

The reporter is the late Harry Martin, from KCRA (NBC news affiliate) in Sacramento, CA.

[TheJuggtron]

cool to see them as normal actors :)

[2swordproductions]

Lets take a poll Star Trek thumbs up Stars Wars thumbs down

[NancyLL3]

Star Trek has become an institution, and an influence to many people; I have been a Sci-Fi fan since before Trek, and have been a follower thru the years. Nimoy is a man whom I greatly admire, having been the son of immigrants, and found the American Dream. He is talented in many ways besides acting; writing, photography, directing, etc., and has contributed to many humanitarian causes. I am more than pleased that the legend lives on!!

[Clearflight89]

First off, I love star trek. Always have. But when I see naive people pontificating about the enormous intelligence and verbally dextrous Shatner and Nimoy, I have to butt in. They are actors. Just simple actors. The main skill of which is lying and having people believe that lie. It takes no great intelligence to regurgitate a pre-written script. And yes, I realise American's have actors instead of royalty.

[TheRealLifeOfRiley]

@Clearflight89 Well aren't you a light in the darkness. Oh wait, it's the other way around. *rolls eyes*

[ferociousgumby]

Shatner is an institution. He's everywhere; he's everywhere. Spread a bit thin, if you'll pardon the expression. Nimoy (and it's interesting the guy says Ni-MOY, which I think is the correct way to pronounce it and really sounds better!) is more of an artist, literally, in the sense that he is now a photographer (of fat women! But why not, BBW deserve a shot too). As an actor he didn't really catch a break 'til Spock, playing Indians and bad guys. I love both of these guys, warts n' all!

[mrcooncat]

Both 80 years old now. Nimoy to make his last Convention appearance next month. Shatner's ego will have him going to Cons until they have to wheel him onto the stage (ala Captain Pike). I've seen both at numerous Cons; Shatner always comes across as an egotistical pompous ass.

[HankHercules1]

Spock-"That is fascinating. The articulation of these two twentieth century gentlemen ; especially originating from the era of what was known as the 60's in the United States, is interesting and unusual. And, might I add, their attire doesn't seem to coincide with our records of that time period in earth history "./ Captian " Ah...yes Spock....they were called actors". Spock -" Actors....hmmm.......interesti­ng......Lt. Ahura ......".They were....pretending" . Spock .."pretending...why would....

[paatty153]

They are very intelligent

[paatty153]

bad recording



[Emerald007007]

isnt it amazing that a t.v show has had such fantastic appeal, has lasted so long and makes people want to dress up and go to conventions. I hope they dont have soprano conventions. there will be an awfull smell of fish..lol

[ZXLNT]

What a great find!!

[cptskellern]

william bell :)

[nczempin]

best watched in 240p

[Tiger20001]

Whatever your opinions of their acting, both must be doing somthing right to still be in the business for more then 60 years!.

[Starr1701]

this is really kool and old thanx for loading



[jsharp1701]

Funny he listed "doctors, lawyers..." He also played a Native American on 'Gunsmoke' within the five-year period he was discussing. So, he could, almost, have quoted the old nursery rhyme: "Doctor, lawyer, Indian chief..."

[tailor31415]

nimoy interviewing in the appearance of spock is awesome :D

[oldrockmustard]

LLP!

[garysgreat]

A ground breaking show. America at its best. Leading the World. Boldly going forward to the future, using free thought and embracing technology. I hope that vision will continue. Time will tell?

[UncleMikeNJ]

"Doctors, lawyers, people my mother would like to see me play." Funny, Spock doesn't look Jewish! (But Nimoy is, in fact the Vulcan salute is based on a gesture he once saw a rabbi make.)

[ErusaGakuto]

@UncleMikeNJ how has he look like? has he look like the rabbis? not all christians also look like monks.

But the intervies are super!^^

[UncleMikeNJ]

@ErusaGakuto It was a joke. Many times throughout TV and film history, a person (Jewish or otherwise) will look at a Jewish person and say, "Funny, he/she doesn't LOOK Jewish." This was parodied in Mel Brooks' "Spaceballs," where Daphne Zuniga played a princess of a planet called Druidia, and Bill Pullman called her "a Druish princess," and John Candy said, "Funny, she doesn't look Druish!" Being Jewish himself, Mel Brooks works a LOT of Jewish or quasi-Jewish humor into his films.

[neonknights]

This was filmed somewhen between July 28 and August 8, 1966, during the shooting of What Are Little Girls Made Of?, roughtly one month before Star Trek premiered on NBC.

[FiorellaRaskle]

Leonard Nimoy is sooo adorable smiling :3!

[ferociousgumby]

EVERYONE says "different than". Reminds me of "I'm like". What the HELL does "I'm like" MEAN?????

[chibiariel]

@ferociousgumby - Depends how you use it, but it's usually similar to 'I'm thinking' or 'I'm feeling' or 'I said something similar to this' or 'this is/was my reaction', etc. For example, someone could said, 'Yeah, I was like, "That's so stupid!"' Which means the person either just felt that way, maybe made a physical reaction, just thought it, or said something similar to 'That's so stupid' but didn't say that exactly. I'm not sure why the phrase is difficult for people to understand, actually.

[HankHercules1]

@ferociousgumby -- means to me the person doesn't care enough to explain because they don't have a large enough vocabulary, being lazy. They are ignorant of the fact that they aren't revealing anything with those words. So they just pick up something they heard and repeat it because it sounded good. Ask a person what they mean when they say that and you'll see the frustration because their clueless. Put a rubber band around their head and pull it way back and let it go with "SNAP OUT OF IT"!

[HankHercules1]

@ferociousgumby

[ferociousgumby]

He says different from, not different than. This guy is way more sophisticated and smart than the stupid oaf he plays now.

[wrlord]

@ferociousgumby  Who would say "different than"?

[chibiariel]

@wrlord - 'It's different than this.' 'Foxes are different than pet dogs.' 'Pencils are different than pens.' Tonnes of people say it, although it could be a regional thing (one region says 'different from', another says 'different than',etc).

[wrlord]

@chibiariel One is right. The other is wrong. Your examples are wrong.

[chibiariel]

@wrlord - How are my examples wrong? I'm not saying 'different than' is technically correct, I'm just saying that's how it's used sometimes.

[SavYdizzle]

leonard nimoy is ridiculously sexy.

[aculturemind]

@SavYdizzle

Yeah, Nimoy was a real cutie.

[Boodlums]

Shatner's voice sounds like in the ep "A Piece of the Action" lol

[DROWHO]

If they only knew

[flyguy359]

Shatner had a different huge hit show in every decade 1960-2010

[rsp196607]

Shatner hasn't looked this good in years.

[spacecowboy5000]

@unsaie I thought that too at first. But when you get to be his age acting gets tougher. Any way to get some sort of income is good. To is it seem like selling out, to him it's an important form of security. A lot of actors sell out when they're way younger.

[allizzone]

they are so handsome!

[drgenack]

They were both so gorgeous!! I always like watching interviews with them. They are both interesting in their own way and intelligent.

[ConstantTweeter]

Funny. William Shatner, who has become such parody of himself today, was so serious and dignified back then. Ditto, Leonard Nimoy. Both are quite articulate, intelligent and engaging.

Today the stars go on TV shows and they have nothing to say. They guffaw their way through an interview designed merely to get their faces in front of the public ahead of the "plug" for the show or film.

Even if they had something to say no one would listen, unless they made a flub, or fell off the stage. Sad.

[kcufmalsi]

Shatner was one handsome SOB back in the day.

[dasinfogod]

The interviewer is the late Harry Martin, a pioneer in televised entertainment reporting, years before Entertainment Tonight. He was a fixture at KCRA, an NBC affiliate out of Sacramento, for decades.

[simonjeste]

WOW, as over-the-top as Shatner often is today, it's awesome to see the SciFi-Fanboy part of him coming out in this interview ... and he nails it. True SciFi works when it focuses on the PEOPLE, the experiences and interactions and emotions, i.e. "what would you do or feel in their situation" type of thing.

[spacecowboy5000]

No rehearsed answers like we have today. This is for real.

[LuvDownOnBway]

Gah, I love Nimoy so much. He's so cute when he smiles. ^_^

[invincibleironman3]

Is it me, or does it seem as if Spock is acting a role as Leonard Nimoy. this dude OWNED this role, period. Even the eye movement as he is answering. This is the ALL time most known character, and definitely the greatest alien on T.V.

[kamwrites]

Nimoy's voice makes me melt. Love it.

[miladynana]

shatner looks sooo dreamy *-*

[7beers]

@miladynana Shatner in his prime was as good looking as any of the premier Hollywood stars.

[kristalcarolyn]

Thank you so very much!

[userbc44]

Bobby YOU ROCK!!

I love this!!!

[odsa625]

thanks for the video

[mithol]

Leonard Nimoy is so cute when he smiles.

[MillBelater]

How things have changed. No TV show today would ever send out the Star without talking points.

[SpockBoy]

both are extremely intelligent, well spoken men.

[pavelthe2]

You can tell Leonard noticed.

[monroemary]

OMG so cool! I'd never seen interviews that actually took place at the time TOS was filmed. IIRC the suit Kirk wears is from the episode "What are little girls made of". Lovely!! And I love how they speak with the same voice as their characters - most of their interviews you hear their "normal", eveyday voice, but this one if I close my eyes it feels like it's truly Kirk and Spock speaking :).

[ILoveMrSpock]

Haha he said Leonard's last name wrong =P

[domrct]

Spock kicks ass ! Thanks bro

[fuckmasterice]

Spock is the man! Thanks for posting this.

[AES90210]

Cool shit

[Barbuzuka]

Thank you very much for sharing this!

[DFG333]

I have but it's nice to watch it again.

[atarileaf]

I've never seen this before but this is amazing. Thanks for posting this.
