You Can Only See It on Howard TV: Beam Him Up: William Shatner Talks with Howard Stern About His Current Television Projects, His Ongoing Feud with George Takei and the Upcoming "Star Trek" Movie
Actor William Shatner stops by the Howard Stern studio; home of Howard TV On Demand to talk with Howard and the crew for a candid and comical appearance about his television career. Howard begins the interview by grilling Shatner about his wealth to which Shatner jokes, "I'm worthless. My self-image is so bad that I came on here and [Robin] said I'm not great and I agree with her." When asked if he was offered a cameo in the new "Star Trek" movie by director J.J. Abrams, Shatner expresses his disappointment about not being included.
Referring to the recent revelations about bad blood between him and former "Star Trek" co-star George Takei (who often appears on "The Howard Stern Show" as a guest announcer), Stern asks Shatner to confirm whether he was invited to Takei's recent wedding and Shatner replied, "Not to my knowledge." When Stern plays a recent clip of Takei saying Shatner's stability is called into question, Shatner jokingly agrees with him. Shatner hinted at reconciliation, possibly inviting Takei to appear on new his show, "Shatner's Raw Nerve." He sums up his philosophy by saying, "When you leave this life, wouldn't it be better not to have any animus anywhere?"
This episode can only be seen on Howard TV On Demand, starting today, December 11, 2008. For more information about Howard TV On Demand and its availability, check out http://www.howardtv.com/.
