I wonder if he will tackle the question: What do women want?

[Blood of Tyrants]

View screens (smart TVs with cameras) are all over the place now.

"Probably, don’t forget the Star Trek movies, thye were pretty good, "

Only Star Trek stuff I ever saw was the movies.

Not a TV type back then or now.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I can’t stand that ugly little troll.

[Tell It Right]

Will Russian Television require Shatner to speak with an accent like Chekhov?

[EEGator]

You don’t like mentally ill high school dropouts lecturing the world about Science?...

[Disambiguator]

High art = must be stoned or drunk to appreciate it!

"Jeez, every time I see a headline start with: “Legendary actor...” my first thought is that they just died."

You're not alone. My eyes automatically jumped to end of the title for the dreaded result, which gladly didn't come.

True, but is Mr. Shatner really ”world-famous”?

The Star Trek TV series and movies does it by itself, as they were aired and screened internationally. Heck, he was doing Esperanto movies in the '60s. It doesn't get any more international than that! The "Tek War" science fiction books had an audience in the entire English speaking world. He got to record the wake up call for the international space station. Yes, he was happy to slum doing TV game shows (Pyramid, Tattletales), Priceline ads, Oldsmobile, regional Canadian supermarkets, and what TV series came his way (T.J. Hooker, the sometimes excellent Boston Legal). He doesn't quit. He's beyond world famous. He's the Shat.

One of the items to investigate:
“Is There Intelligent Life on this Planet?”

(To wit —”Beam me up, Scotty… There is none ;-)

[Deplorable American1776]

William Shatner is world famous...

I'd say Universally Famous...

"Of course he is. I’ve been in love with him since I was seven years old."

My daughter-in-law, age 35 is in love with him too. They live outside Indianapolis, and went to a convention a couple of years ago. She got to meet him, and have her picture taken with him.

For anyone interested, I found a site that gives Shatner's upcoming appearances:

Ok, ok. I was wondering if he walked down the street in Tokyo would he be recognized? From the collective replies on this thread I think the answer to my question is probably “Yes.”

I’ll even cut some slack for the sitcom TJ Hooker.

Come on, we're talking Heather Locklear in her prime, here.

[proud American in Canada]

I agree. Shatner seems like he has a great sense of humor; he does so many things. People see him as trustworthy. So they used Priceline. :)

[proud American in Canada]

I think we want real men! :)

[MinorityRepublican]

He outlasted Carl Sargan!

[Bullish]

Legendary because he was on a fairly short run TV show or two?

Well known? Yes. Legendary? No.

[drypowder]

Bill Shatner rocks! Imho He’s a lot smarter than the average Hollywood puke communist liberal.

I love me some Shat, but the thinned down part? He recently did a commercial to help Mike Tyson pimp his CBD pain cream, and it's funny, but he looked like a fat pigeon:
