As the first season of It Takeis Two
comes to a close with an all-new episode, Brad Takei (husband to Allegiance star George Takei) shares with BroadwayBox his five most memorable moments from the popular heightened reality series.Getting to let loose with George and play with our human hamster balls.
Overall, I love this episode because we get to pay respect to Leonard Nimoy, who was a dear friend. It was lovely also to be able to include Nichelle Nichols, who was the best woman at our wedding. With respect to the human hamster balls specifically, we were a bit apprehensive once we saw them out of the packaging, but once we began it was a lot of fun!
Scooting around Google
Who wouldn't want to grab a scooter and zoom around techie heaven? If you ever get the opportunity, jump on it—or scoot rather.
Surprising George with impressionist Christina Bianco
Getting to work with such a great talent like Christina Bianco was thrilling. And I love to make George laugh; he especially loved her Kristin Chenoweth impression.
Filming my Amazing Race audition tape
I had a great time showing my personality and coming up with different fun ideas that I thought would appeal to the Amazing Race audience.
Dressing up as Obi Wan and Princess Leia
The convention circuit is such a big part of what George and I have done over the years and it was fun to step into that world.
Binge watch all of Brad & George’s ‘It Takeis Two’ adventures now on YouTube, and see George live on Broadway in our Show of the Month, ‘Allegiance’.
