Who knew he would be doing interviews in 2024, 93 years old. What an amazing man. When this was filmed, I wasn't born yet and he was my age now. My hero.
What an amazing life. 92 now and still has it together.
He definitely does! Met him at Comic-Con last month and it was a dream come true😊
1979 Shatner: "10 years is a long time. You're a little more aware of your own mortality"
2022 Shatner: "Hold my beer".
1979 год это?
Boggs must be the lovechild of Will Ferrell & Jeff Conaway
+staxmantim
OMG!!! So true.
+staxmantim He was conceived on the back lot of MGM studios.
+staxmantim look up Randy Couture UFC -- definitely a skinny version: just need to inflate him and they are twins
You deserve more credit for that joke that what you've gotten.
Hmmm.. Boggs is 4 yrs older than Conaway and 21 yrs older than Ferrell - so maybe Ferrell is the love child of Conaway and Boggs... Seems more likely :-)
Just spent 36 minutes and 48 seconds smiling... my face hurts!
I counted on 37 seconds. 😅😅😅😅😅
Keep in mind Shatner was 50 years old at this time. He looks damn good for his age. Always has.
I thought William Shatner was in his 30s when the show finished so ten years on he would be in his 40s
@@kevintraynor4508 He was 39 when the TV show ended. Yes.
He would have beeb 48 when this was taped.
Wow I didn't think about it but I thought he was in his early forties during this interview. But then after reading the comment they remember he started Star Trek when he was 35. He's in his nineties now and he's still with us and still sharp as ever.
i thought he aged somewhat badly in the 80s and 90s...then i realised he was over 10 years older than i thought!
I feel sorry for Shatner in one way. He never got to experience Captain Kirk as a child. He can only listen to people describe what it meant to them. As a young boy the show first started in re-runs and Captain Kirk was THE MAN! The ultimate power fantasy for a child... on the ultimate adventure.
+thanksfernuthin Paraphrasing here, but Margaret Thatcher pre-recorded a message in case she was not able to appear or speak (period) if Ronald Reagan died. She said something like, "We have one beacon to guide us that Ronald Reagan never had. We have his example."
staxmantim Wow. What a perfect example. Thanks. Those that hate Captain Kirk and Reagan are scratching their heads bloody right now. And that's good too!
I watched TNG with my mom. Was in single digits seeing Kirk.
Picard was the next generation. And Kirk... Was a legend.
I have to say, this is an awesome interview. The questions are good, the audience participation was cool, and Shatner was charming and modest, which is not necessarily how he is portrayed by his contemporaries. Well done.
What a trip down memory lane... I was a teenager when this was aired. And I was a Trekker. I identify with the excitement in the audience. Thanks for the memories Bill.
You are welcome, Ambrose. Thanks. How about following me on Instagram. @realbillboggs
@@Billboggs I remember you and your show growing up in Jersey. When we only had 6 channels on TV! As for Instagram... other than an occasional visit to RUclips... I am a bit of a Luddite. But I will continue to watch some of the old interviews and wax nostalgic!
Surprise: Bill Shatner is an intellectual.
And blushed when the girl said "We all love you."
I can't recall the age I was when I found out - but William Shatner being a fellow Canadian is a source of endless pride. And James Doohan, let's not forget. Capt. Kirk and Chief Engineer Scotty both from the Great White North. ❤💯
The guy is now the definition of a working actor. Movies, TV shows, commercials all across decades.
This is a great interview. Shatner is very candid and authentic. I really get the sense that he has difficulty grasping what his character, his creation, meant to so many people and of the enduring influence he and the other members of that cast had on people's lives and our culture.
Shatner, a living legend. Thanks
It’s true, ask him, he will tell you!
cameraman has good taste right off the bat
Yes, I noticed that, too. Wow!
Crimsonphilosophy where is she now? ;-)
Beautiful girl.
He's gorgeous, isn't he? Shatner, I mean.
He is!
Not just that. He’s so charming and charismatic he has you drawn to him
Captain Kirk was the perfect man. He was very handsome and attractive.
And smart too!
BECAUSE it's what's on the inside that matters, right?
Your so right, love him
bertha rico he is all man
chose a revolting wife in Marcy, looked like a horse, couldve had anyone & picked ugliest frump
These 80s talk shows make me feel so classy just watching it
God, seeing this reminded me of skipping school back in the 80s and coming to live tapings of your show, I was befriended by the makeup guy (Who's name escapes me), and got to spend a bunch of time backstage. I was even on camera with a question about video games being "good for hand/eye coordination" lol
I hope Star Trek The Motion Picture does well in theatres. I'd love it to lead into more films!
He just went into orbit for real. I hope Bill Shatner is around another 50 years. One of a kind.
It's hard to believe that the best version of the film was released just recently. The quality was glorious!
An actor who is classically trained.
18:57 it takes a man who is very confident in his masculinity and heterosexuality to joke around like this. i can respect that.
What a wonderful piece of cultural history. What a great show.
Shatner is the man.
Clearly one of the sexiest people in show bizness.
This chat show seems to confirm that Star Trek was ahead of it's time. Nobody seems to be able to put their finger on exactly why it was liked so much.
Apart from anything else Kirk, Spock and Bones were very sexy, so were all the women❤. 😊
SHATNER has the gift of the gab. Very likeable guy!
Brilliant interview. All my heroes are dying now! Christopher Lee(met him in '83),Chris Squire,Jon Lord,Greg Lake,Leonard Nimoy,Keith Emerson.Hope iv'e not jinxed Shatner but it will be like a death in the family the day he goes.Bill...you're a LEGEND.thankyou.
Love the go-go version of the theme tune that they used for his walk-out - that was some phat-ass bass!......
I’m going to need to go back and see this movie one more time. Loved it!
You gotta love Shatner when he talks about race beauty back then
That was a great and succinct answer!!
I remember watching Bill Boggs when I was younger ..good show
This is incredible. How insightful of him to put it that way. He’s got such charm the like of it is extinct I swear.
Thanks for posting!
I didn't know he is so short. He has a great down to earth personality. I've noticed he didn't let his Star Trek role...ruin his potential for furthering his career . He has succeeded beyond his Captain Kerk role and reinvented himself over and over again. Allot of actors can't seem to do that
4'2"
Hes not too short 5 foot nothin, a hundred and nothin
better than anyone
I loved Star Trek: The Motion Picture! Saw it twice on opening day and at least ten times after at the theater. Now, when I need a Star Trek fix, I think of watching Wrath of Khan or Search for Spock or Voyage Home. But I always end up going to TMP! I just love it. I’ll replay the scene when Scotty takes Kirk on the exterior tour of the Enterprise, that wonderful, slow, lingering beauty shot (like science fiction pornography) over and over. // I’d like to see the Ben Bova part of this interview! He was editor of Analog Science Fiction and Fact, a Hugo-winning science fiction writer, and editorial director of Omni magazine. Amazing man!
i know what you mean i love that movie. from seeing it on release in the cinema to owning the soundtrack lp. saw it in 4k earlier this hear and it was spectacular.
Seein Shatner on 2/10/23....getting pic taken with him too.
I love it too, my fave ST movie, straight up sci-fi, no fights, just thought.
the host is: "the interrupter"; when he should've been: "the invisible man"
Gene Roddenberry, the great bird of the galaxy
The writing as the aspirational nature of Trek was great. It also captured American optimism at the time.
William Shatner is Handsome,Smart,Funny...Good Actor...Star Trek the Original...the Best....Star Trek Movies with William Shatner Will Alway’s Be Captain James T. Kirk....Thank You to All the Cast too...Mr.Spock....Dr. McCoy...and All the Rest...
will ferrell interviewing bill shatner. omg! this promises to be good!
If only it were Will F, sadly it's just me, Bill Boggs, baring somberly resemblance to Will..Hope you enjoyed it
@@Billboggs yes, it was very nice.
Shatner has never been better than the times he was on Howard stern
Quiet diplomacy. History proved Shatner correct. A much more judicious person than Kirk.
Bill Shatner would make a better Presidential candidate than either of the options the USA has now.
Kirk could make very convincing arguments...He would have handled it the same way.
What an insightful and thoughtful answer. "They are a bargaining people". He was right.
Kirk was extremely judicious and a cunning diplomat. 79 episodes confirm this.
I'm just impressed they had a website in the 70s!!!
Oh how drole!!lol
Happy Birthday, „Captain Kirk“!👩🚀🚀
Does anyone else love the first movie? I really enjoyed it
Having watched all the original cast movies for the first time this year, The Motion Picture and Wrath of Khan share my top spot.
Director's Cut made me appreciate it more.
It’s underrated. I think the first two films are the best.
I love 2 through 4 … the but the first was really good as well …. Vee-jah girl was hot
wasn't good
Totally awesome!
That is why I went into the US Air Force because of Star Trek.
Bill Shatner was under a lot of pressure because he had known the script wasn't good and there were production problems during the making TMP. I don't believe even Bill Shatner knew why the series was so successful when it became a worldwide phenomena. I am a Trekkie and I believe that it has the believe ability factor and great scripts that explored the human condition. Plus add a great crew and set it in outer space.
+FortOmnicron54
It was the first new Star Trek material in 10 years. Fans were so excited that the cast and story was simply "back", most didn't care that the story line wasn't that good. Too much detail was paid to special effects and not enough to script and story. Still and all, I enjoyed the movie when it came out in '79 (I was 14 at the time).
+FortOmnicron54 Plus Ahura had a nice rack.
*Uhura
The start of the movie was ok, with Klingons but the rest was meh. Star Trek II they really nailed it and I think it was the best of all the films.
Plus the whole cast had buckets of charisma and sex appeal.
Shatner- not just good looking but clever, funny, intuitive and sensual. By the way, I think women's chameleon-like ability is probably a biological advantage.
He was actually a very good actor on most of TOS. Although his exaggerations would come acrross nutty when in the extreme, on balance his ability to express a variety of emotions actually takes a great deal of effort. He put more character into the simplest of lines - much more so than Stewart - who, despite being a better actor, came across rather dry and boring unless given better material.
Agreed. He was a perfectly decent actor 90% of the time. Did some great stuff on TOS. He only got really hammy when asked to overstretch himself and that really is down to the director's nous - or lack of.
I agree part of the appeal of the original star trek is william shatners presence very convincing "gentlemen I suggest you beam me aboard"
An awesome actor!!!
And he had zero charisma or sex appeal.
Stewart is so NOT a better actor absolute rubbish. Shatner is iconic.
Oh Bill, you are so cute!!!! That's why I Still love you!!!!
+David Topchiev Shatner of course, is there another Bill in this video? :)
Bill Boggs is the other Bill
He's (BB) has come a long way from a run down hotel in High Point where the local ABC affiliate was located and the studio was in the old ballroom! Southern Exposure with Bill Boggs is still fondly remembered here in the Triad!
Hi, Barry. It's been quite a ride. Thanks. That show we did on WGHP was actually syndicated in the south and was the launching of my career. I truly loved my three years in High Point. If you are on Instagram please follow me @realbillboggs.
@@Billboggs I do follow you and also on FB! Loved seeing your Sinatra memorabilia!!
@@barrybrown9104 thank you
i was pre-pubescent when ds9 came out. i only missed voyager and enterprise cause i was old enough to have fun. This is one of the most profound interviews ive ever seen. An entire different person than the guy who is the 25 year after TNG, voyager and even yes my top four Enterprise. BTW actor=diplomat. after this interview and another movie or two didn't the command crew of 1701 sue because they realized they weren't getting enough $$$$?? Hope for 24 but live in 21
I love my Ship!I use to tell my brother that.and his reaction!
I had to look up 'lavalier'
I love this guy
two billbos!!!
That second clip was heavy on the spoilers for the 70s crowd.
I was 12 when STTMP was released.
I was on the Bill Boogs show ....😂
Captain of the Star Trek...
I watching William Shatner but all I see is Tim Allen in Galaxy Quest 😂
His voice is a vocal roller COAstEr-Youuuu-see
Our host needs to turn the fanboy dial down a few notches.
Best 36 mins of my life.
Nice piece.
Oh, I love Ben Bova, I have a few of his books.
Spock found the points "Ear-itating". Oh Boy!!
He wore his Star Trek shirt on the program of a play THERE IS A GIRL IN MY SOUP
Lol the auto captions it comes up Slime slots...
"A beautiful girl is fantastic...". - Spoken back when men were men.
cringe
bruh monty what, this? 👉🏼👈🏼? I agree.
Wow Ben Bova!.....
If I meet Captain Kirk and I'm an Alien I would join the Federation. Tracy or Decker, c ya I'm joining somewhere else. Huge hero.
The halting intonations of the Shat!
Having spent several days watching clips of Glenn Gould speaking in interviews and his own television programs, I see similarities in the way Shatner speaks. I wonder if I'm picking up some Canadian mannerisms ... not just inflection and accent but the style of speaking.
This is interesting in hindsight. "I don't want to do a series" - he started TJ Hooker about two years after this. Kind of funny watching Boggs ragging on WPIX, which broadcast Star Trek in NYC, for "chopping up the episodes." I think Boggs was on Channel 5, which became Fox. Some interesting stuff, but my overall impression is that Shatner was (rightly) bored doing promotional work for STTMP.
This guy is will Farrell
Bill Boggs! Holy fuck!! Whatever happened to that cat
this is top
23:20 "I'm not asking you to go into space for 20 years"
He just predicted Voyager!
Voyager had already left earth 2 years previously
oh crap, where's the segment with Ben Bova?
The thing he said about the submarines and keeping your crew at arm's length - this is so important to TOS. This is why the reboots failed - there was a staggering lack of professionalism in those movies and I wish I have never seen them.
Bill is the best
HEY, THANKS....PLS FOLLOW ME @REALBILLBOGGS ON INSTAGRAM
Jim baby!!!
3:20 it was an underground hit that broke on through like THE DOORS and PINK FLOYD
kirk should just say "phasers on kill'
Love Omni Magazine
So this is early December 1979....
hey Bogsy when Frank Sinatra JR. was kidnapped they had 100 FBI agents on the case within 24 hours but when the school buss full of children was kidnapped they only had 50
Definitely a Will Ferrell remake of a 70's interview à la Ron Burgundy.
They left out, ‘Judgement At Nuremberg’.
It's interesting that Shatner didn't know what his character had been up to for the 5 years between the end of the series and the launch of the new Enterprise. I wonder if a back story exists?
It's only supposed to be a period of 18 months.
It was 1.5 years and he was driving a desk at Starfleet HQ. If you want a semi-canon story about it read some of the Trek novels depicting that era. He got married as well. His wife was supposed to be one of the people who died in the transporter malfunction toward the beginning of the movie. The other was the Vulcan science officer he was given by Starfleet command. Btw, under Kirk, the Enterprise completed not one but TWO five year missions before Kirk was kicked upstairs, so to speak.
@@indranidasgupta8982 Thank you
What year was this filmed?
That crowd is out of control! My god🙄
There is no score under that scene....what the?
will farrell would he a good match to play this bill boggs fella if he ever had a movie about his like
What year was this? Thx
2:14 ST THEME
Elvis has intensely loyal fans world wide. When he appeared in Vegas people flew in from all over the world. Even dead his fans are still loyal. People that were born after his death have become fans. Not many, if any, other person can make the same claim. I am a fan of the original Star Trek show but not as much as an Elvis fan.
