Inspired by the example of Mishka the talking husky, the former Enterprise captain proves that he too can howl "I love you" for treats.
Before the Discovery space shuttle returned to Earth for the final time, the crew got a wake-up call from everybody's favorite starman, Captain Kirk himself.

... And to be honest, I'm thinking about putting the feature on hiatus for a while. Between his CBS sitcom, his many, many endorsement deals and his upcoming (real) heavy metal album, I kind of feel like the guy doesn't really need any extra PR. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm dangerously close to reaching my Shatner saturation point.

In this "supercut of movie blah blah blahs," various characters in various films have a bad case of the blahs... Until Shatner steps in to chase those blahs away.

This clip was all over the place this week, but if you missed it... Well, maybe you'd do just as well to keep on missing it. Shatner singing Cee-Lo Green's catchy and very much NSFW hit **** You sounds like it should be great fun, but somehow it doesn't really click. Shatner seems like he's struggling to keep up with the music, and the results are neither awesome nor awesomely bad.
I think the proximity to George Lopez temporarily robbed Shatner of his innate awesomeness. It's a phenomenon scientists refer to as the Lopez Effect, in which any awesome celebrity rapidly loses their awesome the longer they remain on the set of the George Lopez Show. Shatner dared to cross the Lopez Event Horizon, and we all paid the price.
Shatner has flat-out denied it. He has half-admitted it. He has joked about it. He has artfully deflected questions about it. He has totally lost his cool when questioned about it.
The question: Does William Shatner wear a toupee? This blog examines the evidence, then examines it some more until it gets kind of creepy, stopping just short of going through Shatner's garbage. (Jeez... Check out the guy who runs a regular blog feature called Shatner Sunday, calling out another blogger for being unhealthily obsessed with William Shatner.)
William Shatner was recently interviewed for Vanity Fair, and the tone of the interviewer was just... Well, let's just say that Shatner would've been within his rights to take the jerk out with one of those old school James T. Kirk flying dropkicks. But it's really impressive how Shatner never comes close to losing his cool here, no matter how awkward and insulting the questions get.

This clip's not much to look at, but the audio is an interesting little curio. If you've ever wondered what it would sound like if Shatner guest starred on Joe Frank's old NPR show, now you know.
I think this clip is from an old episode of Saturday Night Live, but I'm not sure about that. The writing is kind of weak, but Shatner sure is having a ball. It's not too hard to imagine that he really starts his mornings like this.
Now here's a tall, cool glass of the 1970s: William Shatner (wearing a red velvet shirt that looks like something he bought at Hot Topic), Stiller and Mearra, and Kristy McNicol sit down for a chat on The Mike Douglas Show. Just when you think the whole thing can't possibly get any more Carter-era, they start discussing astrology.
Back before Police Squad became a series of rather forgettable movies, it was a short-lived but pretty fun TV series. This clip from the show features 15 seconds of priceless Shatner goofery. (That's actually his entire "special guest star" appearance in the episode!)
No, for real. In this clip William Shatner chats with Lee Malvo, the infamous D.C. sniper.
Now here's a space oddity for you: William Shatner narrating the original trailer for the incredibly head-trippy, 1976 David Bowie sci-fi picture, The Man Who Fell to Earth.
The echo on this clip is a little distracting, but stick with it for Shatner's sweet, funny and sad story about DeForest Kelley and his beloved barking rat.
In this rare clip from an old Mike Douglas Show appearance, William Shatner out-Shatners himself as he performs a monologue based on a famous scene from The War of the Worlds.
