Just saw a commercial on Comedy Central, Aug the 20th, they're going to Roast WILLIAM SHATNER!
YES! That should be SO much fun to watch!
:)
Thanks for the info.
I hadn't heard about this as I rarely watch Comedy Central.
I'll set the timer on my DVD recorder.
I definitely want to see this one!
Roasting Shatner? Hell yeah!
It is going to be absolutely priceless. The man has so many traits that can be mocked.
Well, what was funny is the way they did the preview, the announcer kept saying. One. Word. At. A. Time. Like. Each. Was. It's. Own. Sentence.
Hehehe.
How dare they!!
Shatner should only be approached with worshipful deference --
. . . my God . . .
I regret that I'm too cheap to pay for cable, but trust that this -- I can only expect -- utterly out of control weird-fest will be available on discs and boots.
Shatner is notorious for taking his "craft" waaayyy too seriously, and his alleged "self-mockery" really only applies when he does it -- He won't go along, generally, if others are asking him to mock himself, so I expect him to lose his temper and throttle someone.

I am going to have to see this one. As has been said, he just begs for the roasting. If anything, William Shatner is the reason a comic roast was created. At the moment it happens I would not be surprised if the world ended, since it had now accomplished its reason for being (free will and the number 42 notwithstanding).
It will also be amusing to see his response to the verbal dissection. Amused? Trying to contain his anger and appear amused? Or...plainly...amazed...that...people...think...he...talks...funny.
He he he....oh, this should be GOOD!
Reminds me of the back cover on Twisted Toyfair Theater #7. Spock in a yellow suit, with a sword." KILL BILL Shatner!"
From Capt. Kirk to Denny Crane....whats not to love? Hummmm....will Kevin Polic show up to do the shat?..stay tuned!
