Leonard Nimoy, best known to everyone in this galaxy as Star Trek‘s Spock, has sadly passed away.
While the rest of the world remembers him for his work on the Star Trek franchise and for his directing work, we at ToughPigs recall his work with the Muppets.
In 1984, Nimoy was interviewed by the closest thing he has to a Muppet counterpart, Dr. Strangepork, in an issue of Muppet Magazine.
12 years later, Nimoy himself made a very brief cameo in an episode of Muppets Tonight, which we are pleased to find is on YouTube. Because the future, as Star Trek always made us wish, is now. You can watch Leonard Nimoy and Miss Piggy below:
Leonard Nimoy wasn’t just a great actor, a great director, and a great sport, he was also an icon. And as sad as we are to have lost him, we’re very pleased that he had a few brushes with the Muppets and that he lived long and prospered.
