Ricardo Montalban’s death (R.I.P., etc.) reminded me of my long-forgotten favorite Ricardo Montalban moment, which doesn’t actually have anything to do with the actual Ricardo Montalban. It’s when the Howard Stern Show prank-called George Takei, pretending to be Ricardo Montalban:

Very few thanks to the mostly unfunny Montalban impersonator; infinite thanks to the infinitely hilarious and gracious Takei.

Ah-hah-hah-hah. La Reina Blanca.

Oh my.

Lindy West was born an unremarkable female baby in Seattle, Washington. The former Stranger writer covered movies, movie stars, exclamation points, lady stuff, large frightening fish, and much, much more....

  5. I don’t believe the Stern show is actually responsible for this clip. They just play it all the time, and basically latched onto Takei after they heard it and realized he’s a comedy goldmine.

  6. The call was made by a DJ named Kid Chris, who is a longtime friend of The Howard Stern Show.

    George Takei is the greatest! If anyone out there has Howard TV on On Demand, watch the “George Takei’s Big Gay Bachelor Party”. You will laugh forever!

    Also, a big “HEY NOW” to 1, 3, & 4!
