Being introduced before the luncheon.

Eating. No one seemed impressed with the meal.

Don Rickles came out and joked about/roasted the lunch, the NAB, Larry King, and the Star Trek men. They all found it funny, but after everyone laughed at De's "roast" the audience kind of groaned too. But De found it funny:

National Association of Broadcasters' Hall of Fame Part 2/3

Before handing out the awards, they played a little clip about Star Trek. Here's De's part:

If you look at Star Trek, what you're seeing are-you're seeing a group of people who are very professional in what they do, and they are working in this bizarre world. And at the same time, in this bizarre world, you're finding that all these people still have problems, that's going on day to day, just like we're experiencing now.

Then the awards were announced:

I love his hair.

Love the hand on the shoulder:

National Association of Broadcasters' Hall of Fame - Part 3/3

William, Leonard, Bill were invited to say a few words. De's speech is at the bottom. But first-

Backstory: In the article posted in Part 1, it mentions how a man rushed the same stage where Ronald Reagan was giving a speech the day before, smashing his award, glass flying everywhere, before getting tackled by the Secret Service (video is online).

William gets up to the podium and says, "Leonard, if somebody comes to grab this and smash it, pinch 'em."

During Leonard's speech, he read the very first Variety review Star Trek got. If you haven't heard it, this is the funniest version of it, along with the actual review. If you haven't seen it, go watch/read it, and then come back:

Leonard reads "William Shatner appears wooden."

Then reads "The same goes for Leonard Nimoy, co-stared as Mr. Spock, so-called chief science officer whos bizarre hairdo is a dilly. And DeForest Kelly as chief medico is the same." As soon as he said "DeForest Kelley", De did this:

De's speech. (FYI Brandon Tartikoff is the one that introduced them for their awards and is standing behind De on the left). The transcript is below.

Thank you. There's something very weird about this. We have a new godfather at Paramount now, Mr. Tartikoff. We lost Mancuso so Tartikoff is here to take over our family. Since he's been here we have been celebrated in some very strange ways. I received a Star on Hollywood Boulevard. Then we were immortalized in cement on December the Fifth at Mann's Chinese Theater. Next time I saw Mr. Tartikoff was in Washington, D.C. where we were installed in the National Space Museum where they have a bunch of artifacts for OLD museum pieces. I shudder to think where he's taking us next. I want to express my deepest and heartfelt feelings for you bestowing this honor upon us today. We are, indeed, grateful. But I cannot leave here without quoting a poem, a little short poem that I read, in lieu of some of those smart-ass remarks that Don Rickles made. I wrote a poem sometime ago, and in the body of it, there were a few lines about the critics. You see, what we've done in the motion pictures, we've made a few bucks for Paramount. They haven't done badly. But it seems to be its the critics of someone who can't stand the fact that we're growing older. So I wrote a little thing that said they have critiqued our bellies, our wrinkles, our hair, we just keep going, we don't care. It seems to me that they've never been told that all of us are growing old. Thank you very much.

Star Trek III Premiere - De & Carolyn

You can find the whole video on YouTube, but here are De's parts. I included the part with Leonard trying to get De's attention as I found it amusing. Right before this part, Sandi (Leonard's then wife) noticed the camera and the microphone and informed Leonard. They didn't look too happy with them coming up behind them.

Transcript below, but it was incredibly hard for me to hear.

(Unintelligble)

Leonard: Oh there's De. (Unintelligble) You know De Kelley don't you? (Laughs) Kelley. Mr. Kelley. Mr. Kelley.

Sandi: DeForest!

Leonard: Geez. So popular.

Sandi: I know. I'll go get him.

(0:32) William: I appreciate it. (kiss)

Sandi: De?

DeForest: Hi Sandi.

Sandi: A friend of yours is looking for you.

(Unintelligble)

(0:41) William: Okay. It's getting past my bedtime.

De: Captain's rank (Unintelligble)

William: (Unintelligble)

De: Now to the police department.

William: No, no autographs now, but thank you for asking.

(0:57 Carolyn's a good sport)

(1:10) Carolyn: Hi (Unintelligble). Nice to meet you finally.

(Unintelligble)

(1:22) Sandi: Wasn't he wonderful? Carolyn: Yeah, terrific.

(Unintelligble)

(1:28) Carolyn: Yeah, I was very proud of him.

(Unintelligble)

(1:58) De: There's a bigger screen over there? Yeah, yeah, I thought so. Oh I'm sure it was much better.

(Unintelligble)

I just thought it was definitely the best of the three. And it had so much (Unintelligble) things going for it. I thought, i thought everybody did a marvelous job. Beautifully directed. 'Course I knew Leonard would come through.

(Unintelligble)

De: In the morning? Not this morning but I saw him on Good Morning America.

It's sad that we never got another AOS movie because Zachary Quinto had managed to do just that in Star Trek Beyond.

Once again thinking about how something that most people who attempt to portray Spock after Nimoy get wrong is that they don't allow the inescapable warmth to drip from every word that slips past their lips. They manage to inhabit the tales that Spock tells about himself, to himself, but not his true self.

Is 6 days per episode normal? I feel like that's such a short time to film everything. And just the weekend to memorise lines, that's crazy
