Peter Tork and Michael Nesmith in The Monkees episode "Fairy Tale," 1967.
“The ‘fairy-tale’ episode was his favorite episode, Tork said. ‘Mike was so good.’ ‘ My favorite guest star was the one that was never on the show,’ Tork said. ‘I always wanted Janis Joplin,’ he said.” - The Defender, February 21, 1996
"Oh, God, Michael was so good in that, he was so good. It really was Michael’s finest hour as an actor. And to have him as himself over there, going, 'Wow! What a great looking chick!' I think he should have gotten an Emmy for it." - Peter Tork, Hey, Hey, We’re The Monkees documentary (x)
“[W]e were sometimes a minute short, so we started doing impromptu bits, which evolved into us scheduling time for segments with people we knew and respected. I had hoped to bring Janis Joplin on, but it never worked out.” - Peter Tork, leoweekly, June 2016
