    Never missed a show as a kid. Out of all the T.V. shows I watched in my life of 63 years, Star Trek had the most impact and influence in my life. Even though he was reading from cue cards, Shatner's performance was top-notch here. Dana's feel for what his character should be like is fine tuned and hilarious. He is playing a pre-adolescent and pulling it off brilliantly at his age then of 31 years. Fun sketch. Cheers

    I’ve met William Shatner, (handshake), rode with george takei in an elevator at a Star Trek convention, talked with majel Barrett at a convention. Also met Michael Dorn and hung out with him where I worked in the aviation field. He was volunteering his time to fly a doctor and nurse around to help kids with cancer. He didn’t want to talk Star Trek too much but when I mentioned I knew some of the aircraft he owned etc (i saw him on discovery wings) he became the most friendly person. I was showing him one of our very expensive private jets. We were sitting in the cockpit together and in my mind I was imagining we were on board a shuttle together. I waved to him as I was helping guide his plane out and he gave me the old style romulan chest salute. So I got a little Star Trek out of it lol

    Interesting that you can see Dana Carvey beginning to make the base of the character Garth here, with almost the exact voice and feel for the way the character would eventually be. This episode was filmed in December of '86, while the Garth character appears for the first time just over a year later, in '89. Just add the blonde wig, grunge look and some drum sticks and he's there!

    I know this was just a very good comedy sketch & it has me in stitches every time I see it, but I can't help but wonder if he has ever felt like saying that for real at one of those conventions? What he said about trekkies & their obsession with the show is probably very close to the truth. I like Star Trek as much as anyone else, but it is just a TV show, not a way of life! The late Leonard Nimoy even stated that many of fans at these conventions are a bit "out there". Either way, William Shatner was great in this & it's good to see someone who is able to poke fun at himself. I know he loves his fans really, so that added to the amusement.

      part of that is that people who just genuinely like a show didnt travel to conventions back then, just the people who were way too much into it did. what also has to be remembered is, that back then it was still pretty common to shame people for being nerds, while today its mainstream. meaning, the actors perception of the fans at these conventions might have been negatively colored because of biases that existed at the time, regardless of whether the people at these conventions were actually "a bit out there" or not.

    I haven’t seen this for a long time but it’s as funny now as ever.
    It’s no secret that some of the principle actors had a love/hate relationship with Star Trek, they found themselves unemployable and type cast after the series ended. James Doohan for instance kept finding himself being cast as a Scotsman, he had a talent for mimicking accents but they only wanted a Scotsman.
    They were quite unprepared for the cult status of the show (which was essentially a short lived low budget production) and the devotion of the fans, they grew to like and embrace it, of course they were paid for appearances, why not? They have to live.
    James Doohan acknowledged that Star Trek gave him opportunities that he wouldn’t have otherwise had and was quite touched when fans said they went into engineering because of Scotty.
    So I’m sure they must’ve gone through the “go get a life phase” but they learned to live with it and eventually to live it...

    A memorable skit worth rewatching regularly over the years. But if he had really been impersonating Captain Kirk, then he would have stood his ground and hit them with the "no blah blah blah" speech...and walked out.

    Shatner like- apologised for this skit or another, cause without the fans/cons he’d probably be homeless- bro was living in a truck after Star Trek got cancelled lol. Also I’ve heard an array of personal experiences meeting him and he’s 92 going to cons to this day and taking the time to talk to fans so he really does seem to care to some extent.

    Great Bill Shatner, he have really alot of Humor, he was joking about hisself, he really play himself, i adore Star Trek, i am a hardcore Trekkie, but what he said its true, its just a TV Show, the nerds there at this kind of conventions are to fanatic and analize every scenes of TOS, they cannot return in reality, Star Trek Universe with all spin offs, except DISCO, is wonderful and i love it, i have so much merchendise, uniforms, ship models, Phasers,....
    But after i watch a Star Trek movie or a TV Show, i turn off the TV and be back in the real World. Young people and older Trekkies too, live and enjoy your life, never forget Star Trek, i will never forget it, its a part of my life, but just a part, there are alot of Real topics and problems at daily life, Star Trek is a wonderful Sifi fairy tail, but its just a fairy tale, when the TV Show is over, i think a little bit about it, but then i return back to reality.
    Thanks alot for uploading, its super funny, Bill was much younger that time, nice to see him.
    Live long and prosper 🖖
