Just a discarded, burnt out actor of a bygone Hollywood-era- one cast aside by the torrent of genuine method-actors and dramatists. Seems like a broken man with an ego-conflict between him 20 years ago and his public persona/fame in the present. Shatner is a weird guy, personally as someone that has never seen the appeal in Star Trek, I just think he's a shit actor with a big personality.

Must be the Mad Cow

Shatner got his way back into the limelight with Denny Crane in Boston Legal which proved him to be a pretty decent actor so I wouldn't call him discarded or burnt out. Sure he's always had the James T Kirk shadow but he deals with it fairly well.

To be honest I don't know what to really make of this but I have to say that if Conan O'Brian was worth anything as a talk show host he'd know how to handle a difficult guest. Hot tip: Jumping up on your desk and shouting "What is wrong with you?" isn't a sign of a good talk show host.

With Boston Legal finished now I imagine Shatner's career is in limbo. I don't know about his talk show but I doubt that it's something "big". This O'Brian thing was probably just a publicity stunt either to gain people's interest for Shatner's talk show or make it financially "interesting" to have Shatner as a main character on another TV series.

This, unfortunately, sums up how i've viewed him over the years.

I thought William Shatner's been a punchline for at least the last 20 years?

What makes Shatner cool, even to this day, is that he's completely aware of his public image. He just has fun with it.

And William Shatner is laughing all the way to the bank... the guy laughs at himself and does the hammy priceline commercials...
He is a funny guy and has lasted a long time in Whorely Wood...

Love is the answer

Christ, shut up for once you 17 year old albino weirdfuck; stop using every little opportunity to make an utterly tame comment about me, you're terrible at it.
