His laugh at the end is the best part. I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen him laugh.
Wow, MLK even sounds like MLK (you know what I mean) when he’s telling a joke. He beats James Earl Jones and Patrick Stewart easily.
“And then I fucked the stewardess.”
That looks like “The Tonight Show”, based on the background from other clips from the same time frame. seatackled @ 2 is exactly right…did he ever not “sound like MLK”?
Tonight Show. Mike Douglas always had a very modern set, and the guest would sit in a semi circle, or facing each other.
Aw, that’s great. Definitely the Tonight Show – aficionados of the form will recognize the classic Carson desk-with-lighter-next-to-guest-chair setup, as well as seeing Johnny’s ghost image in the cut away from the Nixon segment. Harry Belafonte was guest hosting that week – that night he had on Paul Newman and NIpsey Russell too – an all-civil-rights-activist night. This is the SCLC press release announcing it:

Mind you, Mike Douglas had Dr. King on a year earlier. Aficionados will recognize the iconic and unmistakeable color-asterisk set backdrop of that daytime show. Dr. King is wonderful here.
