On October 18th, William Shatner was rushed by ambulance from the set of BOSTON LEGAL to Little Company of Mary Hospital. While in a cold sweat and shaking with pain, the erstwhile sci-fi rocketman received the attention of a medic: "Can I have your autograph?"
Denny Crane!
Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa, hosts of the LIVE WITH REGIS AND KELLY morning talk show, listened in astonishment on Monday as Shatner recounted how it took just 30 seconds for a tabloid to get whiff of his 911 scramble. "I got in the ambulance and the siren goes off, and the producer tells me [later] that -- he saw me off, waved goodbye, went up to his office, the phone rang, and it was a tabloid."
A pain in his lower back turned out to be a kidney stone en route to the world outside Shatner's body, a process that's said to be as painful as childbirth. "My wife said it's a girl," Shatner joked while holding up an object large enough to wring tears of urological terror from a stoic Mr. Worf.
The New York Times noted that an ACCESS HOLLYWOOD reporter approached Shatner at the formal dinner during which he was inducted to the Broadcasting & Cable Hall of Fame, to ask if the kidney stone toss had been painful.
"Have you had children?" Mr. Shatner asked the reporter.
"I have."
"Was it painful?"
"No, because I had an epidural," she said.
"Well, I didn't."
Shatner was back at work the day after passing his stone, and he'll saddle up with wife Elizabeth at a horseman competition this weekend in Los Angeles. Seems all that turns 74 year-old Shatner Orion green are the cigars he must puff on in the balcony at BOSTON LEGAL. "And 20 takes... the 20th cigar... you're sick. You're going, 'If I have to smoke another cigar!!'"
Through it all, does he enjoy the show? "Oh, it's a great -- it's a gas. It's full of humor, sex, and violence."
A transcript of Shatner's TV talk show interview, with screen images and MP3 clip, is at VRRRM.
Catch BOSTON LEGAL on ABC, Tuesday nights at 10/9c.
William Shatner's TWIST IN THE TALE (1998) DVD went on sale this month in the U.S.A., Canada, and United Kingdom.
