In this clip, Todd Bridges recounted the special moments on the set of "Diff'rent Strokes," highlighting the guest appearances of personalities like Muhammad Ali and Nancy Reagan. Bridges described Ali as "the greatest guy in the world" and shared an anecdote of the producers' failed attempt to make him say something negative about his hero. He also revealed that the show's original title was "45 Minutes from Harlem." The actor further talked about the security measures taken when then-first lady Nancy Reagan made a guest appearance, revealing that President Ronald Reagan was present off-stage, surrounded by Secret Service agents. The Secret Service’s heavy security even included a no-fly zone over Universal Studios at that time and showing off the surface-to-air missiles in their trunks.
