Star Trek Lost Episode - SNL 

And not doing a bad job of it. Now Shatner needs to take his version off. 🙂

Love It, funny as hell!

Thats exactly the joke isn’t it

That’s because they’re parodying the original series

@@jason854656 yes I see this

Also on the episode with sir Patrick Stewart, the sketch "The Love Boat: the Next Generation"

that line from him was my fave in the sketch

Love it!

Such a great touch!

He's the longest serving SNL employee, that's Akira. Been there since day 1. Great interview with him on yt

I like the star trek restaurant

Chris Pine's impression of Chris Pine is terrifyingly good

You've never actually seen William Shatner in anything have you?

@@chrishouston3566 yup, star trek, the idea of the joke is that Chris Pine was acting like Shattner in the new movies thereby acting like himself in the SNL parody overexaggerated. Glad you get jokes

He did a great Bill Shatner without sounding too much like a parody. Now I am anxious for another Trek movie starring Pine and company. Just get a real science fiction writer.

Shae M oh chris pine you say? I was going to assume Chris Hemsworth but Im glad to specified.

Lamont Simpson Hemsworth played his dad.

Chris Pine got the chair pose right. You would think so.

He plays him in the new movies..

Unpopular opinion, Chris Pine is currently the best actor of all the Hollywood’s Chrises

It's even better that this is basically canon

😂😂😂💯

Cara Macedo but he didn't play Shatner Kirk...

ehhh... a little overdone but not burned

joelm33 I think it was supposed to be overdone

He's better in here than in the newer movies. I think they ruin his character.

He’s a great actor most great actors can impersonate naturally

YEEESS!! Thank you for pointing that out. He was in the Belushi sketch as well as the one from 1986! I assume he must be one of the SNL stage crew.

@@jdryyz his name is Akira yoshimura and has been snls production designer since day one. He played a "new featured played" during the seasons finale this year's opening monologue. He's great.

@@johnmarr2695 He actually started as a design assistant in the art department, took him five years to work up to production designer...

I love how he looks embarrassed to be up there 😁

Yes Akira Yoshimura

Funny, names captaiv l CHristopher Pike. Actor Chris Pne. One lettter differenc having Receivqnulip a sfv es 33455 kn

It’s a Kirk-ception!!!

Yeah, he's been doing Shatner for three trek films now so he ought to have it down.

and yet he doesn't

Thomas Kirby He doesn't do a Shatner impression when he plays Kirk in the movies. It was an active decision that only Karl Urban would do an impression because his was so spot on.

Is there a video of this impression?

Karl Urban was definitely spot on!!!

And one of the painted screens in the back has the words LCARS on it which is the name of the operating system in the Trek universe.

rachel andrews It was pretty good.

I would have enjoyed the JJ Abrams trek Movies 10X more if they let Pine play Kirk this way lol

Piggy-and

The movies would have been a lot better if you gave the cast at least one season doing trek on TV.

That moment was so funny. 😂 I'm convinced that I could watch this a hundred times and still laugh at it. Also the slow burn laugh from the audience in response to it was great.

*Weird

I take it the funny part is Sulu has never seen any of them before as he's the only one that's been in all the Star Trek skits.

He and all of them probably laughed so much in the behind of the scenes lol.

@@objectdefiance4027 most definitely!!! 🤣

The way he should have played Kirk in the movie

Bokks87 it’s almost like he his kirk

unlike the movies

@@bheast86 Because he wasn't impersonating Shatner. He was doing his own version and quite frankly, he killed it

His name is Akira Yoshimura. He's a stangehand for SNL. Now I'm wondering if they ever do a classic Star Trek sketch, will they still keep him or will Bowen Yang take his place? I like to think they'll replace him with Bowen.

It turns out the Federation has a crappy retirement system.

@@canaisyoung3601 Nah! As far as Lorne Michaels is concerned, Leo IS Sulu. Unless they have George Takei as a guest sometime, of course, in which case, Leo will play the Kelvin Sulu.

oh please oh please SNL put Takei and Yoshimura in a sketch together! while they're both still around! should have been done for the 50th. it'd be good for all the parallel-timeline crap..

@@jv-lk7bc Throw in John Cho while they're at it and call it "San Sulu Sanjou!"

I just noticed Akira too. He was in the old sketch where the Enterprise had converted to a restaurant! I had no idea who he was. Now I know!

Seeing him in this video after seeing him in the restaurant enterprise was just.. So amazing

He was in the first one with Belushi, right?

Not only Pine, the full crew almost breaks with that line, it's so brillant!! Thank you so much for aporting the name, then i could discover, (or re-discover him) that he has been in the SNL staff from the very first start, all seasons, he played Sulu already in 1976 !!

He also played him again for the Restaurant Enterprise skit with Shatner, Phil Hartman as Bones, Kevin Nealon as Spock, and Dana Carvey as Khan. Carvey's exaggerated take on Montalban was hilarious and still is.

@@alucard624 agreed. funny stuff. the hockey glove, I can't

Yes we know... he's also in The Mandalorian!!!

Stanley Aviles Now that's a supply drop

Stanley Aviles now this is podracing

I smell a new hashtag for Twitter.

Now you're a parrot. Really?

"I was dyin lol" Best part, easily, best laugh of the week ... month.

I think Kate Mulgrew did a great job channeling Kirk in her performance as Janeway on Voyager as well. Not the over-the-top campy impression we see too often, as you've mentioned.

In the bloopers for Beyond, its called going "Full Shat(ner)"

Saw Shatner live on stage once at a convention, he really does talk like that in person.

No way does Pine pull off Shatner....

Patty Miller said

Funny Muffler I know.. they nerd to add him to the cast

*need

Funny Muffler it's part of the joke "we never seen him before it's weird"

Ikr

Start a hashtag

Alex is one of the best cast members they have now.

That impersonation is exactly how I feel about NDT. I LOVE science, and can't stand him.

opposite. i love science + i absolutely love ndt! ✨🤵🏽🔭☀️

Tree Harris and yet Carl Sagan's family OKed him for the remake of cosmos. But I'm sure you know better than them. If it wasn't for Tyson, most Americans wouldn't even know what science in general and specifically what astronomy is. Hell, 2/3 of america thinks astronomy is about predicting someone's future

Um jeff, Tree Harris is on your side. Me? He may be awesome as a scientist, I still find him pretentious.

@@jeffmercier5600 good points, like Dr. Kaku, love him too!!

Jon DeJoy Now that's a MASS EFFECT!

lol

I'm commander Shepard and this is my favorite Star Trek on the citadel

Dakoda Vaerus We'll Trek, ok?

That's what was missing from TOS

It's a GREAT line especially the way HE says it, I did LOL hard the first 2 times I watched this.

1:35, 3:17, and 4:52 . . . “NNNNOOWW THATS A STAR TREK T-SHIRT!!!! 😂 😆

NameCallingIsWeak 1:35, 3:17, and 4:52 . . . “NNNNOOWW THATS A STAR TREK CRACK UP!!! 😂 😆

Only disliked to keep the likes at 69.

#Migos has one that says " Now, that's a T-Shirt! "

Johnathon Smith This actor appeared in the original one with the first cast with Belushi as Kirk. I promise.

Wow... they have to identify him, if that's so.

Johnathon Smithard It looked like he had to hold it in.

he also played sulu when shatner hosted and they did a star trek spoof in the 80's

1:35, 3:17, and 4:52 . . . “NNNNOOWW THATS A GERIATRIC STAR TREK!!! 😂 😆

@myanabull I think that's Sasheer Zamata. She was on SNL for three seasons.

1:35, 3:17, and 4:52 . . . “NNNNOOWW THATS A STAR TREK!!! 😂 😆

I'd take a bite outta dat!

Ikr.

@Dr. Loomis The irony of your statement is astounding.

Victor Kong Now see that, and the "Still better than Final Frontier" joke at the end, is actually funny. The rest of it feels like they're actively trying to avoid humor as much as possible.

DrFranklynAnderson fd

Rens Wisse Its Kirkception!

I agree.

Haha 😂

Now that's a star trek

remove that 't' from 'theheheh' and finish it with another 'e' goddamn it you failed us sr

Yep, there should have been a redshirt dead on the deck.

I second the vote for shirtless Chris Pine!

@@dnp713 yeah you never watched the original star trek. Kirk only hooked up with a couple people

@@beawild yep, old saying at the time of the show: "Red Shirt=Dead Shirt"!

@@dnp713 Yup, he got "action" in about a quarter of all episodes!

Did you know he was actually the guy who played Khan in ST2? Now that's "Redemption"!

Christopher Thorkon Thanks. 2 things. Love factoids. Love given credit where due. Also that actor is a company man 30 years in.

Yes, I knew. Been seeing him off and on for decades.

@@pennyandrews3237 I figured, which is why I did not use the word "actor" -- I am assuming he just works in some office somewhere for NBC .

Actually it was 40 years ago.

The date on this video is May 2017, the release date for the first STD episode was September 2017. I wonder if some writer nerd heard the plan about Spock's previously unknown adopted black human sister and did the same bad idea playout for the TOS timeline as sleeper inside joke. Or it was just an example of serendipity playing out in real life, which I consider more unlikely.

Yes. I was like "Nooo, you have a sister. Did you go crazy again, Spock?"

I mean Sybok tho

"Now that's a Star Trek!"

@@edwardwood6532 I enjoy Discovery despite its flaws, but the adopted sister angle baffles me a little. I mean, I'm all for creative thinking outside the box, but why insert something that raises questions about show that already has a very complicated continuity? I mean, would have been so difficult to simply make her Spock's childhood friend, or an adopted cousin he was close to?

Connor Bradshaw 1:35, 3:17, and 4:52 . . . “NNNNOOWW THATS A STAR TREK!!! 😂 😆

D Rodriguez What's funny is that he is a long time SNL production designer, and has played the Sulu character several times now.

Angelica Perez he looks like he lives on the beach

George Takai is still with us, he would have been a "natural" for Sulu, my all time fave, besides Spock of the original series.

Gotta love when Akira Yoshimura plays Sulu!

@@ThrashMetallix LOL.. Yess!

"Allowed", not "aloud". The first one is essentially "permitted" and the second one is when you're not whispering, you're speaking "aloud" (out loud).

Christopher Thorkon Chris Pine did a better Shatner on SNL than he ever did on JJ Abrams' sucky Trek films. Shatner still rules the Trek universe. He's even a better starship captain than his next generation copy cat Jean Luc Cueball. Is this extreme? Yes! That's how we are! We are purists! We stay true to the original! All else is just sci-fi TV with the Star Trek label plastered on it.

In Abrams' defence, his movies were an alternate universe. This is shown through Leonard Nimoy's appearance in this movie as the Spock from the Prime Universe.

No Wonder why he was cast as Kirk

@@timrob12 the abrams movies still sucked

@@christopherallen9580 Can't judge that. I haven't seen them.

"The Laughing Vulcan."

CookieDTotR I think it is. I think he did Sulu in 76 as well with Belushi as Kirk.

Yes, he's been on the show for about 40 years. He always plays Sulu whenever they do a Star Trek spoof.

I do get the impression that he's been Sulu before.

That is beyond funny.

525lines, I think you and +Jon Groubert are right, and I think +Timmy Vo has an especially impressive memory of that Belushi/Kirk sketch. :-)

thank Sybok it didn't ...

@@jv-lk7bc Now THAT'S a Star Trek!!!!

yeah thats what SNL does. advertise. although he was playing Shatners version not himself but thats not important

"Love that the actual star of Star Trek (Chris Pine) joined to create a spoof of Star Trek" - You mean all the jj Abrams movies are not spoofs?

Yeah, love that!

Kirk-ception!!

"You....have you ever kissed a girl? " one of my favorite lines from that skit.

Meh

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SpPgavT5am4.html

Done.

Oh hey the guy playing Sulu is the same

Don't make it so complicated. He is doing an impression on Willam Shatners Kirk role.

this wasnt funny. at all.

Wow... uh... a lot to unpack there...

You wrote “imression” 4 times Damn...

I think this guy had a stroke

He needs a deeper voice.

Kenan just brings that sparkle eye joy to just about any character he plays. Lol

Why? HIs impression sucked.

It was a terrible impression. They just dressed him as Neil deGrasse Tyson. Nothing else was even remotely a nod to him, except, yenno... vague references to his interest in science fiction movies. I think Kenan's better than this. He should work on developing an actual impression of this man, before he does it on air. Neil deGrasse Tyson could be a funny character, too. All he basically did was act like a vague poindexter character and say his name was Neil deGrasse Tyson. It wasn't even a good poindexter...

Funny Muffler I don't think it was a very good impression, nothing against Keenan. He's not very good at impressions in general.

Daniel Smith 1:35, 3:17, and 4:52 . . . “NNNNOOWW THATS A STAR TREK!!! 😂 😆

Flaming Croatan 1:35, 3:17, and 4:52 . . . “NNNNOOWW THATS A STAR TREK!!! 😂 😆

INTERESTING!! Maybe a run of Top 7 episodes, scene for scene, shot for shot, but with new sets, and better FX.

Epic snl.wikia.com/wiki/Akira_Yoshimura

So glad they got him instead of George Takei.

Skydiver The Pony 1:35, 3:17, and 4:52 . . . “NNNNOOWW THATS A SPOCKO STAR TREK!!! 😂 😆

Google Sean Cullen William Shatner he’s brîliant

NOW THats a star trek!!

God Likes Porn with Ben the Demon JJ doesn't do Star Trek anymore.

yeah, he fucked off to go fuck star wars in the ass

He's not doing that either. Rian Johnson is.

God Likes Porn with Ben the Demon ur a fucking idiot

It would explain the engineering insignia he was wearing.

But then, he would've been a Redshirt. We all know how that turns out.

EXACTLY...and the plasma exhaust system access panel isn't on the bridge! I mean, come on!

@@martinbaxter7840 Yeah, but Scottie did ok, he was only "killed" once! Done by NOMAD, who "repaired the unit Scott" under orders from his creator, the Kirk! LOL.

Nerd lol

I think Neil is probably laughing his ass off at it anyway.

Savage Dragon The best Tyson will always be Jordan Peele

Yes, McCoy would a fountainhead of endless joke potential...Damn it Jim, I'm a doctor, not a pizza cook! In fact, there were some pretty funny moments in the actual show with dialogs involving him and the gang...

B. Alvn "Damn it man, I'm a doctor not an periodontist!"

MikeRiderOOO Yeah maybe he could have cured that disease he got from only eating pearl onions and shaved ice.

(Dr. McCoy) "He's dead, Jim"!
