SHATNER SUNDAY: NIGHTMARE AT 20,000 FEET

If you caught last night's Saturday Night Live, you were treated to an amusing sketch parodying the classic Twilight Zone episode, Nightmare at 20,000 Feet. Jude Law had the William Shatner role - although, weirdly enough, it sounded more like he was doing an impression of John Lithgow in the movie version from the 1980s.

If you've never seen the original episode, waste no time and check it out above. It's worthy of its status as a classic, featuring a tense script, a weirdly adorable teddy bear monster and some really prime Shatnering. The young Shatner excelled at being either totally in control or totally out of control, and this story really lets him lose his marbles in the best way.
