Very theatrical style, which was his background. Not the type of actor who can “lose himself” in a part, but always one to competently perform. A rather ambitious and ego-driven individual, which sort of explains his successes as Captain Kirk since that was the perfect character and role for him to play.
@@stantheman9072 I love when he spoke at the Star Trek convention and got up to the podium in front of thousands upon thousands of trekkies, and the first words he spoke were, "GET A LIFE!!!!"
@@bradhuskers Uh, I think you are mis-remembering or are misinformed. That’s not what happened. That line came from a skit he did on SNL in the 80s. It was a legit hit and was very funny. He then used it as the title for one of his non-fiction books, about his experiences with fans and at conventions. I doubt he ever actually said that before a real convention. It would not go over well with that audience and Shatner is nothing other than a crowd-pleaser. He lives for applause. Unless he was making some kind of joke with it or referring to his book for sale, I don’t see him doing it at all, much less saying it first. I’ve seen a couple of his convention appearances. It never came up.
We lived in the States for a while until 1976, then we went back to live again in 1991. I remember watching TV and the Show started. My mom got excited and said, "Johnny Carson Show!! I remember watching him when we lived in America before!! Wow, he is still doing the show."

Best of the best! Watched Johnny from a young age, (during summer, Easter, and Christmas vacations), and every New Year's Eve until I married. Being an avid Star Trek fan from their very beginning at age 14, I enjoyed seeing Shatner's interview very much. Informative, funny, great storytelling, he and Johnny had a very relaxed and respectful demeanor. Easy to sit back and enjoy on several levels. 👏👍👍😀
Oh how I miss these times; when Johnny ruled the night airwaves with true wit, humor, kindness, professionalism and had a way of making his guests comfortable enough to be themselves. There was an an intelligence back then that today talk show hosts are completely void of. The days when Los Angeles was a much kinder place and when TV shows and Movies filmed everywhere employing hundreds of jobs. Then....the city and county crazies with their foolish policies chased all of it away. Thanks for posting this clip, felt so good to laugh!
I remember when I lived in LA county , Glendale, and black people weren’t allowed after dark because it was a sundown town. Is that the kinder Los Angeles you’re talking about?
Hi Holly Obrien I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement.

As a GenXer I find it comforting and helpful to go back and watch these old videos from the world I grew up in. It's been so obscured by what's gone on so far in the 21st century that it's easy to forget. The world of the 80s and 90s is gone, and what has replaced it doesn't impress me one bit.
@@michealjaymurphy He still took himself a bit too seriously. By the 2000s, he's old and mostly forgotten, which leads to him going "ham" with Boston Legal. lol

I would give anything to live in the world at the time this was aired again and just stay in that time forever. People were good and respected each other and you can feel the calmness of that time in this segment
@@gavc6442 Famously so. check out his hair from the T.J. Hooker era. That being said, a man that can handle space travel at age 90 is a beacon of enviable stamina and health.
@@gavc6442 Yes, famous beloved millionaire actors can afford very convincing hair pieces. Love the Shatner. gives me hope that you dont have to be feeble at age 90
Not quite. He was still young here. In his 50’s, yes, but still younger. He stopped aging about ten/fifteen years after this and that Shatner from 1996 still looks the same today.
Johnny was the last of the good comedy talk shows, until Craig Ferguson. Johnny had on actual funny comedians, interesting celebs, great and intelligent dialogue, and most new talent he invited on became successful.
😊😄😄😄 just awesome 👏 love this actor so much …. So funny … never seen this interview it’s not my generation never knew how funny he was … What a crazy funny story…. Thank you for such a great laugh 😂 awesome naked in the snow…. Chasing 🐀 yeah Im sleeping naked too 😂 lol ❤️❤️❤️❤️😘
About the time this aired I think most people had the sense that Johnny and his show would be around forever. I know I did. He'd been on TV on the same channel, at the same time ever since I was born. It was easy to take him for granted. It's said we don't know what we really have until it's gone. That was certainly the case with Johnny. It must have taken every bit of training as an actor for Shatner to pull off speaking almost like a normal human.
@@jess4metoo I know right? I was 8 months old when the Tonight Show aired for the first time with Johnny at its helm. He was there for the first half of my life.
We don't have these type of shows to watch anymore. I can't believe how significant Carson was. I've thought about why Johnny is Johnny, and why the hosts now can't quite pull it off. Johnny seemed important in show business. And he was to a pretty great extent of making people stars (or not). Shatner is entertaining.
I have got a movie DVD of William Shatner in Airplane 2: The Sequal and I am dedicating this movie DVD to my old school friends who are both sisters as I hope to see them both again very soon to Chris and Hester from Billyxxxxx

I could wallpaper my house with all the tickets I've gotten from LA cops. They always seem to find me. Luckily, I moved away 10 years ago and haven't gotten a ticket since then.
America produced him..not Montreal Canada....that's what alot of you don't seem to understand...whether it's a pop icon or the defense of Western Civilization
I think if you look up his biography you’ll find that he was involved in acting in Canada from a very young age, graduated from McGill with a commerce degree, did some management in the field while playing a prominent role in canadian theatre long before he got to the US. Now I don’t know the man personally but something tells me you don’t “produce”Shatner. The guy just got back from space. He’s quite elderly and he’d still probably kick my ass. Shatner is one of the few I’ve seen on here who kindly hands Carson his hat. And I always admired Carson. But Shatner, I’m pretty sure he does it his way.

I wonder if you'd have told him on this night in the 70s that he'd fly into space and back someday, he'd have thought you were nuts. But he'd have loved the idea, I'm sure.
I sure miss Johnny, a class act. Unlike these nasty night time hosts. I met Bill years ago at a friend's wedding. Very nice guy, but it was strange talking to someone I watched on TV for years. Had to act like no big deal.
