1982.

This is a clip from Robin Williams' monologue as the American Flag (Old Glory) in the TV special I Love Liberty (a Norman Lear/People for the American Way production). It was taped/performed and aired that year to mark the 250th anniversary of George Washington's birthday, February 22, 1732.
