SNL Leonard Nimoy

Saturday Night Live paid tribute to Leonard Nimoy on their February 28, 2015 show. During the show, SNL aired a sketch called "Worf M.D.," which revolved around a doctor dressed up as the Klingon Worf.

In the sketch, the doctor had to deliver the bad news to a family that their grandfather had died. Given the death of Nimoy on Friday, a Star Trek sketch about the death of a family member seemed a little odd, but based on the title card at the end, it appears to have been specifically written as a tribute to Nimoy. However, it's possible the sketch might have been planned in advance, and the Nimoy tribute was added at the last minute after his death.

At the end of the sketch, an image of Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock giving the Vulcan salute was shown, along with the words "Live Long And Prosper."
