Sulu is played by Akira Yoshimura who has been with the show from the beginning. He also played Sulu in the original Belushi as Kirk skit, 10 years prior. I love it when Khan tells him to turn around.

Oh man... say whatever you like about W Shatner... but he is ALWAYS great. I can never EVER stop seeing him as the ultimate Star Ship Commander no matter what he does.
He really threw himself into the part. He knew it was lampooning his character in a way, but you could see he was enjoying it. You get the sense that Shatner isn't too prideful about the characters he portrays.
He does a lot better with his lines than most of the hosts. Normally they’re just staring straight at the cue cards. He seemed to have actually memorized his lines
That entire episode is gold 😂 Starts with ‘Ollie North The Mute Marine’ There’s the first appearance of the Sweeney Sisters He does the ‘Trekkie convention’ A lot of truly great skits in a single episode.
I served in the Navy's Deep Submergence program on the DSRV-2 Avalon. The Avalon is now retired and on display at the Morro Bay Maritime . The Museum recruited me as a tour guide. This is exactly how I felt while giving tours on the very boat I once went to sea once
*"...and on display at the Morro Bay Maritime Museum Museum."* I'd never heard of a museum dedicated to the preservation of a museum dedicated to the preservation of maritime artifacts, but it's an interesting concept.
Aquabreeze - I want to stress that most restaurateurs are not like this, indeed, most are definitely NOT like this: As a teenager, early in my waitstaff career, I worked at a "fine dining" place. I accidently dropped a roll from the bun warmer onto the floor and tossed it into the trash. The owner saw me, grabbed the roll from the trash and loudly announced that he saw it "fall on a clean white piece of paper!' When he put it back into the bun warmer, I watched closely. When he left, I plucked it out and put it back into the trash. Unfortunately, back then, I knew nothing about cross-contamination and the contamination the fallen roll gave the other buns. Thank heavens, no reports of food-borne illness from that night surfaced!
Gotta hand it to William Shatner. He's just the greatest. He shines like a star. Thank you, sir. You have made this world a better place by your presence.
Never seen this before it’s wonderful, to see William Shatner having fun parodying what he’s most famous for. Beautiful thing!! Congratulations to all involved.👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️
Just saw him on old show twilight zone. He was part of a stranded couple being influenced by a table fortune teller Looks the same , but not an ounce of Captain kirk in his acting. Love the man he is. He does not take himself too seriously and pretty much down to earth man. In my humble opinion. Have never met him.
Yah hes in another famous Twilight Zone episode. Where he is paranoid of flying. And then is the only passenger to see something on the wing of the plane. Also sang Cee Lo greens song F.U. with all the swear words. He collects mill grinding wheels.
Massive respect to Dana Carvey. He managed to outham Shatner without (apparently) hurting himself. That puts him right up there with Plummer, Montalban, and Lloyd.
Out hamming The Shat isn’t easy. 😉 But isn’t his hamminess part of why we love him? PS love his interactions with Spader on Boston Legal, two veteran scenery choppers.

Everything he was in in that episode he carried. There was a skit between him and Nora Dunn as a married couple getting ready for a dinner party. He was in t shirt and boxers and was obsessed with how good he looked in the mirror. Just a lot of him fawning over himself which a lot of us figured Shatner does ANYWAY. At one point, he turns around and addresses his wife. “Honey? Look at the butt. THAT’S a great butt and I’ve got two of them!”
@@TrumbullComic Dana Carvey still manages to look more like Khan (is he wearing a fake chest?) than skinny pale Benendict Cumberbatch! WTF was Abrams thinking?? (I love you dear Benny, and you were PERFECT as Sherlock - but you are soooo NOT Khan...) Seriously, they should've got Hrithik Roshan to play New Khan. He's a hot, hunky Bollywood star with a huge chest, and he speaks English too.
IIRC there was another one in the same show where Shatner was at a "trek convention" and some fan asked him a question about something in the show as if it was real and (paraphrasing) "it wasn't real! Why don't you get a life!" was said by Shatner as part of the skit and it actually cause quite a stir in real life headlines making Shatner look like a jerk to fans. Then later he said some things at real conventions.
@Steve Adams Nooo Sneeeze goddds on the salad baaarr Kaaaark! LOL I was just thinking about this skit the SAME MORNING of the evening this appeared on my recommended list LOL.
"For God sake Jim... Be Careful!!" OMG sounded just like him. That was Hilarious, Phil Hartman truly a legend. Edit: "Damn it Jim, I'm a dr not a... oh oh sure" Lmao I CAN'T!!!!
There've been a handful of genuine comic geniuses among the many wonderful SNL alum over the years. Hartman was definitely one of them. His performance as Lionel Hutz, Lyle Lanley and Troy McClure on 'The Simpsons' are among my favorite voice performances of all time.
I remember watching this when it first aired. I was sitting on the floor in our livingroom when Shatner called out some convention goers for taking the whole Star Trek thing way too seriously. I was, at that exact moment in time, working on a scale model of the Enterprise D. The look on my wife's face was priceless.
@@annemarie8483 Oh my gosh - I looooved Galaxy Quest so hard! It was simultanously so fun and weird and sweet and hilarious (exciting too)! The Sci-Fi stars bickering at the convention were so obviously based on the real-life problems between Shatner and his co-stars over the years. But I like that it wasn't merely a send-up of Star Trek - it's also a kind of love letter to all the fans for whom shows like Trek have meant so much to in our own lives.
@@dollcefina One of the greatest affectionate spoofs of all time - and a good reminder that 'deconstructing' an IP to do something new with it doesn't have to mean shitting on the fans.
And when Khan turns to Sulu and goes: "What has happened to you?" even though Sulu is very minor to Khan - it reminds me of how in the actual movie Khan 'recognised' Chekov from before, even though the two characters had never previously met. I was wondering if that was a Trek in-joke as well.
I sure miss Mr. Hartman. I'm sure we're all agreed on that one. Such an untimely and senseless death. Guess he was the Tasha Yar of SNL. Oops! Nerd alert. Here... just take my lunch money
This is a solid skit! Good writing. Good acting. Shatner committed to it. Carvey is hilarious. Khan making fun of Sulu is a fun inside joke within the skit itself. This could actually be a good movie. It’s pretty dramatic while also being funny.
@@sarahbreisch4750 I saw this skit years ago... I can't remember if I saw it online, or when it was on TV originally... But I know that for years, every time I see a buffet, I've been saying "No sneeze guard on the salad bar!!!"
I don’t remember seeing this before, but if this is the episode where he tells the trekkies to “get a life!” Then I saw it when it first showed. I think I remember seeing Shatner on madTV or the short-lived “Fridays”.
It's criminal they still haven't aired the Shatner Trekkie Convention skit. Shatner's SNL remains the pinnacle of SNL shows. I still remember it as a kid back in Christmas of 86.
Well it's about freakin' time! I have been trying to find the Star Trek skit where Bones states, "Dammit, Jim...I'm a doctor not a...oh, yeah, right," for years! My life is now complete. Thank you, RUclips algorithm.
I have watched SNL since the very beginning , and I must say that the years with Dana Carvey and Phil Hartman had the most consistently funny and entertaining skits.
Nerves were extra high that night, Shatner was a hero to many of them and this skit was like a dream coming true , ,so the mis-captain blurp was just Jitters , understandable epic very unique situation , ,years later when Patrick Stewart hosted a similar skit was done crossing the love boat with TNG , fat Riker played by Chris Farley totally slipped on his line to Captain Picard , ,same jitters of course , , ,🖖😸🖖
They missed a great opportunity. "Kayerk -- What do you call... this?" "Why. That's. a dish. we. named in your honor. We call it. 'Khan's Revenge'" "You fool! It's piping hot! Did you not know that revenge is a dish best served cold?"
@@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785 Best guess is that he did this while aboard the Enterprise. But in reality, it was Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord who said it. Here on Earth. Not sure why the writers decided to attribute it to a "Klingon proverb" in ST2.
He was such a mentor to his closest friends too, very intelligent man. His scripts had notes on them and questions for himself and he would question his intentions in performing and presentation. In between take and breaks during filming, he'd just read aviation books because he was training to become a pilot. Apparently he was just the nicest guy, like literally. There's a character in Futurama that was specifically written for him and Billy West ended up doing the voice in tribute to Phil Hartman, you can here a little bit of Phil in Billy West's performance of Zapp Brannigan. Such a loving tribute.
I would put him in the top 5 easy, such a natural delivery and wry sensible timing. Too bad he married a mentally imbalanced wife who thought she should be the star.
"Time heals all wounds." So gratifying to see Shatner finally come to terms with (and even enjoying) his being forever remembered as KIRK. It was just a role for him for so long, and he even resented it for holding him back as 'an actor' and in getting other roles. So very very few shows get to this level of 'legends'. He never did achieve every actor's dream of being a legendary thespian , but at least he achieved an even better goal... lifelong financial security/gigs/fame. This all aligned perfectly with SNL, who's brand of humor is built around mocking parody.
WTF u talking about? You read a few paragraphs in Wikipedia and think you know enough or even understand a tiny bit to make a ridiculous comment? Go comment on porn videos
This was very good and back in a time when the show was funny with mostly good writers and everything wasn't a mean political dig. Sure miss Jan and Phil.
This is the only instance I’m aware of where Shatner wears the OG captains uniform again after TOS. Therefore it is a critical part of Star Trek History 😂
@@francisbtube lol obviously I was joking 🤣it’s a shame though we got ridiculous stuff like this and not another real appearance of Kirk after 1994. I was never happy with the characters death and still believe he deserved better.
William Shatner is a legend... even in this comedy short you can see all the elements that made the original series the best version of Star Trek ... It makes me long for the original cast .
It's a funny decades-long running gag but also a symptom of Star Trek's cast being more diverse for 3 seasons than SNL's was for 44 seasons. SNL had to keep raiding the production offices for people of color because there weren't enough in the cast to do Star Trek sketches.
Great skit, I especially loved where Cap Kirk stop and say "Zulu, putting on a little weight are we..." Then Kaahn also says " Zulu, oh my God, what has happened to you.." and I love where Zulu acknowledged him and Khaan asks him to turn around, and he does!...lol
I feel like that would be how the modern writers would script it, but this is just left as a look and lets the audience fill in the gap. A bit more subtle that way.
It's criminal they still haven't aired the Shatner Trekkie Convention skit. Shatner's SNL remains the pinnacle of SNL shows. I still remember it as a kid back in Christmas of 86.
Oh really? Are you serious? SNL never aired that skit? It's not on the net anywhere? I actually videotaped that and have it as a personal video file on my computer. It was hilarious. Dana Carvey as a Trekkie and Hartman as an annoyed convention organizer was great stuff. And Shatner's open fretting about what how fans might like what he was about to do was a clue that it was going to be epic.
Actually, there's an even better one with Shatner, where he plays himself at a Star Trek convention. Google it if you haven't seen it ("Get a life"), it's hilarious!
This had nothing to do with the actual Sulu. The actor playing Sulu also played Sulu on the original spoof starring the late great John Belushi as Captain Kirk. He was a production member (offscreen) and they needed someone Asian to play the spoof in the '70s so they just grabbed him. He had no acting experience and flubbed his lines pretty badly in the first one. He gained weight since then, so it was an inside joke with the cast. Why he says "we all get older" to Khan.
@@dr.OgataSerizawa A lot of people can't stand Shatner IRL, esp. most of his long-term colleagues from Star Trek. I suspect he has a kind of narcissistic personality that can come across as fun, exciting, and magnetic at first, but really wears thin when you have to work with such an egotistical person over long periods of time. It leads to professional resentment all around, unfortunately. I think Shatner himself is perpetually bewildered why people end up hating him so much, because he can't figure out what he's doing so wrong in his own behaviours.
I didn't know this ever happened! I loved this! Having been a Star Trek fan as a kid, having experience with restaurant work and having experience in organizations where the entire mission radically changes, this was a joy to watch.
This is comedy gold. Shatner is being who he is, Kevin and Dana are awesome. 'Damnit Jim, I'm a Doctor, not a Doct....Oh yeah, I'll get right on it." :P
He was the spine of strength for that era of SNL,his Bill Clinton was spot on, his recreation of the Elizabeth Taylor White Diamonds commercial was hilarious ,,if he were still alive today I'm pretty sure he would be writing for SNL today ,,we miss him ,,a voice torn away from us and horribly silenced ,,,
Shatner played this to the full level! Totally brilliant. This whole skit was so well written. And Phil Hartman's Bones was perfect. A classic.
Lol so right! Always yelling angrily

I can't believe they missed the opportunity to parody the "Revenge is a dish best served cold" line, since they had "Khan" there already!
That would require writers with talent.
I came to say exactly that!
That would be highly logical
Khaaaaaaannnnnnn!!!
they also avoided the Kirk makes our w/space babe trope. I think it was a point of pride for the SNL writers to come up w/new stuff.

he was great in 3rd rock from the sun as the BIG HEAD.
Hilarious skit, everybody did a great job. Carvey walked in and EVERYbody knew whom he was portraying. "No sneeze guard on the salad BARRRR..."
Dana Carvey as Khan - that killed me. "Kirk, I will be back in 3 months, and you will be...cited."
I just realized that Dana Carvey was a white guy playing a Mexican guy playing an Indian guy.
"KAAAAAAARK!"
@@TrumbullComic Dana Carvey still manages to look more like Khan (is he wearing a fake chest?) than skinny pale Benendict Cumberbatch! WTF was Abrams thinking?? (I love you dear Benny, and you were PERFECT as Sherlock - but you are soooo NOT Khan...) Seriously, they should've got Hrithik Roshan to play New Khan. He's a hot, hunky Bollywood star with a huge chest, and he speaks English too.
Excellent choice of character to add. And good potrayal, in the humurous sense.
I remember seeing this live and thinking "Kirk is old!". Now many years later I'm thinking "He's young in this one.
Me too
me three but now i'm old
He hadn't even been to space in this one!
91 and went to space. Bill is the Man....
we can all hope to be getting around as well as Shatner at 90 years old
Did anyone notice that Spock called Bones "Captain?"
dammit spock he's a doctor not a captain!
Yeah I noticed
Wasnt just me then.
Actually, Bones might be the Waiter Captain, so his title might be actually correct.
Yup, he sure did, lol. Bet he was kicking himself, no retakes with a live audience.
Love how Shatner played his role so straight.
Bones: He's got us Jim.
Kirk: Maybe, maybe not.
Haha
I DID NOT know this skit was ever produced! Bravo!!
Neither did I. This is the first time I've seen it.
IIRC there was another one in the same show where Shatner was at a "trek convention" and some fan asked him a question about something in the show as if it was real and (paraphrasing) "it wasn't real! Why don't you get a life!" was said by Shatner as part of the skit and it actually cause quite a stir in real life headlines making Shatner look like a jerk to fans. Then later he said some things at real conventions.
That whole show was awesome Star Trek parodies
@Steve Adams Nooo Sneeeze goddds on the salad baaarr Kaaaark! LOL I was just thinking about this skit the SAME MORNING of the evening this appeared on my recommended list LOL.
Same here. Never seen it before. They did a great job on it!
"For God sake Jim... Be Careful!!" OMG sounded just like him. That was Hilarious, Phil Hartman truly a legend.
Edit: "Damn it Jim, I'm a dr not a... oh oh sure" Lmao I CAN'T!!!!
and Kahn is wearing a hockey glove, LOL !!!
@Green Mamba Games He was a HILARIOUS Khan.
I'm a doctor, not a sous-chef!
There've been a handful of genuine comic geniuses among the many wonderful SNL alum over the years. Hartman was definitely one of them. His performance as Lionel Hutz, Lyle Lanley and Troy McClure on 'The Simpsons' are among my favorite voice performances of all time.
@@SirManfly I didn't even notice that.

It's amazing he's still with us - 90 years old now!!
Full "Journey to Babel" diplomatic mode.

I find it most illogical that at 1:15, Spock refers to Bones as "Captain".
+Randsurfer It's also weird that Shatner cuts off the Spock character mid-line at the end of the sketch.
Shatner also calls Spock 'Bones' in one shot.
Maybe he was promoted. In Next Gen he was a Admiral xD
Don't forget this was filmed live. Mistakes happen.
You would expect Bones to reply "I'm a doctor, not a captain."
I remember watching this when it first aired. I was sitting on the floor in our livingroom when Shatner called out some convention goers for taking the whole Star Trek thing way too seriously.
I was, at that exact moment in time, working on a scale model of the Enterprise D. The look on my wife's face was priceless.
LOL. Did you finish it? "I mean, for crying out loud, it's just a TV show!"
You would love the movie Galaxy Quest, then. Lol
@@annemarie8483 Oh my gosh - I looooved Galaxy Quest so hard! It was simultanously so fun and weird and sweet and hilarious (exciting too)! The Sci-Fi stars bickering at the convention were so obviously based on the real-life problems between Shatner and his co-stars over the years. But I like that it wasn't merely a send-up of Star Trek - it's also a kind of love letter to all the fans for whom shows like Trek have meant so much to in our own lives.
@@dollcefina I know, right (?!) The actors were so perfect. The script was so funny. One of my favorites for sure.
@@dollcefina One of the greatest affectionate spoofs of all time - and a good reminder that 'deconstructing' an IP to do something new with it doesn't have to mean shitting on the fans.

I remember Shatner caught some heat over the convention skit. Telling fans to get a life lol.
@@darylabrams2 arguably the best SNL skit ever.

Ah, Shatner. Love him or hate him (I love him), I think it's safe to say there will never be another quite like him.
Lol Dana Carvey’s Khan actually was quite good. And seeing Shatner go “Khan, it’s you!” Was hilarious.
And when Khan turns to Sulu and goes: "What has happened to you?" even though Sulu is very minor to Khan - it reminds me of how in the actual movie Khan 'recognised' Chekov from before, even though the two characters had never previously met. I was wondering if that was a Trek in-joke as well.
@@dollcefina well the incanon explanation is that chevok took a very long shit, and kept khan waiting.

As a huge Star Trek geek, this is so amazingly entertaining..
I miss this crew of performers. They were all so very good and talented. Didn't realize as much at the time.
"Ma'am, a Klingon is... A. Fried. Clam. Sandwich"
Even in parody, the legendary Shatner pause is in there xD. Love this sketch to bits!
unlike a cold lamb sandwhich.
He never took himself too seriously. No giant ego or self-reverence. Very refreshing.
One of SNL's best sketches! "Damn it Jim, I'm a doctor, not a...Oh!"
LOFL ! When Bill did the famous pauses....you could immediately hear the live audience slow-clapping...hilarious !
We didn’t change the menu.
Shatner's willingness to relentlessly poke fun at himself is priceless.
You should be nicer to William Shatner William Shatner seems like a nice guy
If you can't laugh at yourself; who can you laugh at?
"I don't think that, she can take is anymorerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...."
LOL the late great Phil Hartman as Bones:
"Dr. McCoy, this man needs medical attention."
"Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor not a... oh... oh sure!"
jeez, i thought it was Martin Short!!
And Kevin Nealon as Mr Spock. Somebody should tell him he does a wonderful Brent Spiner.
@@Ichijoe2112 i was thinking exactly the same. He sounds like Brent Spiner

A joke so good that was reused again in Beavis and Butt-head the movie
So well done and funny. To see William Shatner all in on the spoof raised it to another level.
This is a solid skit! Good writing. Good acting. Shatner committed to it. Carvey is hilarious. Khan making fun of Sulu is a fun inside joke within the skit itself. This could actually be a good movie. It’s pretty dramatic while also being funny.
I remember watching this way back then when the show was funny with Dana, Phil and Mike Myers .....
omg Carvey's Kahn was killing me
@@sarahbreisch4750 I saw this skit years ago... I can't remember if I saw it online, or when it was on TV originally... But I know that for years, every time I see a buffet, I've been saying "No sneeze guard on the salad bar!!!"
Back when I was in high school and I actually watched SNL about every weekend!
I don’t remember seeing this before, but if this is the episode where he tells the trekkies to “get a life!” Then I saw it when it first showed. I think I remember seeing Shatner on madTV or the short-lived “Fridays”.
One of SNL's best sketches! "Damn it Jim, I'm a doctor, not a...Oh!"

yes, they kept the reparte close to the true Trek dynamic .McCoy was welll played by Mr. Hartman rip.
Well it's about freakin' time! I have been trying to find the Star Trek skit where Bones states, "Dammit, Jim...I'm a doctor not a...oh, yeah, right," for years! My life is now complete. Thank you, RUclips algorithm.
I always love a skit where the main guest pokes fun at his/her self. Bravo!
I have watched SNL since the very beginning , and I must say that the years with Dana Carvey and Phil Hartman had the most consistently funny and entertaining skits.
Well, I liked Dennis Miller. AND Jim Belushi. (Of course, I liked the original SNL; I was disappointed when Chevy Chase left the show.)
The cast was very good between 1986 and the mid 90s. I only wish Phil Hartman had done more "Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer" skits.
They should have had Sulu's actor say "Oh my...." when he was using those condiment pumps.
This sketch aired a good 20 years before that became George's catch phrase.
Why? Because Takei is gay? Sulu is not...

Phil Hartman was a genius, he was an excellent performer who shined in everything that I've seen (and heard) him in.
Phil Hartman was so versatile, so tragic what happened.
He is alive in our hearts.
Horrible
He was such a mentor to his closest friends too, very intelligent man. His scripts had notes on them and questions for himself and he would question his intentions in performing and presentation. In between take and breaks during filming, he'd just read aviation books because he was training to become a pilot. Apparently he was just the nicest guy, like literally. There's a character in Futurama that was specifically written for him and Billy West ended up doing the voice in tribute to Phil Hartman, you can here a little bit of Phil in Billy West's performance of Zapp Brannigan. Such a loving tribute.
I would put him in the top 5 easy, such a natural delivery and wry sensible timing. Too bad he married a mentally imbalanced wife who thought she should be the star.
It happened before the MGTOW movement.
"PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT SULU! I WANT FULL RELISH!" : )
The talent packed into this one skit is off the scale! The writing, delivery, editing. And the performers! What a cast. Every single one. 👍👍👍👍
"Time heals all wounds." So gratifying to see Shatner finally come to terms with (and even enjoying) his being forever remembered as KIRK. It was just a role for him for so long, and he even resented it for holding him back as 'an actor' and in getting other roles. So very very few shows get to this level of 'legends'. He never did achieve every actor's dream of being a legendary thespian , but at least he achieved an even better goal... lifelong financial security/gigs/fame. This all aligned perfectly with SNL, who's brand of humor is built around mocking parody.

This is the only instance I’m aware of where Shatner wears the OG captains uniform again after TOS. Therefore it is a critical part of Star Trek History 😂
That makes it canon!
Logical
Or it’s just an actor wearing a relavent/correct shirt for the role!
@@francisbtube lol obviously I was joking 🤣it’s a shame though we got ridiculous stuff like this and not another real appearance of Kirk after 1994. I was never happy with the characters death and still believe he deserved better.

Dana Carvey brilliant as always!
This sketch may mark the last time Shatner ever wore the original captain's shirt on tv
That is why this clip is SO COOL.
How Shatner pulled this off without bursting out laughing at any point speaks well of his acting chops.

Bill Shatner turned 90 just a few months ago. He was born March 22, 1931.
One of my favorites of all time. Just brilliant!
The guy playing Sulu also played Sulu in an earlier SNL sketch with John Belushi as Captain Kirk

It's a funny decades-long running gag but also a symptom of Star Trek's cast being more diverse for 3 seasons than SNL's was for 44 seasons. SNL had to keep raiding the production offices for people of color because there weren't enough in the cast to do Star Trek sketches.
@@circuitsandcigars1278 that's the joke
Great skit, I especially loved where Cap Kirk stop and say "Zulu, putting on a little weight are we..."
Then Kaahn also says " Zulu, oh my God, what has happened to you.." and I love where Zulu acknowledged him and Khaan asks him to turn around, and he does!...lol
I hoped that when Shatner asked "Sulu" if he'd put on a little weight that "Sulu" was going to reply "Why, yes I have, Captain. Have you?"
Oh my......!!!!!!
I feel like that would be how the modern writers would script it, but this is just left as a look and lets the audience fill in the gap. A bit more subtle that way.
It's a gravitic anomaly
I feel like Shatner's ego wouldn't have let them do that.
The sulu actor is the same actor that played sulu when John Belushi played Kirk as a skit where they cancelled Star Trek. That one was also hilarious
this is a gift for us old trekkies! THANK YOU!!!!!1
Best Star Trek skit or parody that I've ever seen. Helps that it actually has William Shatner playing Captain Kirk. 😄

Oh really? Are you serious? SNL never aired that skit? It's not on the net anywhere?
I actually videotaped that and have it as a personal video file on my computer. It was hilarious.
Dana Carvey as a Trekkie and Hartman as an annoyed convention organizer was great stuff. And Shatner's open fretting about what how fans might like what he was about to do was a clue that it was going to be epic.
And the Sweeney Sisters - also from that SNL episode. The whole episode was funny.

The trolling of Sulu had to be Shatner's idea.
They couldn’t stand each other! And still can’t stand each other to this day.
This had nothing to do with the actual Sulu. The actor playing Sulu also played Sulu on the original spoof starring the late great John Belushi as Captain Kirk. He was a production member (offscreen) and they needed someone Asian to play the spoof in the '70s so they just grabbed him. He had no acting experience and flubbed his lines pretty badly in the first one. He gained weight since then, so it was an inside joke with the cast. Why he says "we all get older" to Khan.

@@dr.OgataSerizawa A lot of people can't stand Shatner IRL, esp. most of his long-term colleagues from Star Trek. I suspect he has a kind of narcissistic personality that can come across as fun, exciting, and magnetic at first, but really wears thin when you have to work with such an egotistical person over long periods of time. It leads to professional resentment all around, unfortunately. I think Shatner himself is perpetually bewildered why people end up hating him so much, because he can't figure out what he's doing so wrong in his own behaviours.
Spock mistakenly calls Bones, Captain at 1:15.
...And Kirk calls Spock "Bones" when colleting the bribe funds.
Still, all is forgiven once the real Captain steps into the room. Bill Shatner is a scene stealer!
Phil Hartman is missed. He was a fantastic SNL personality. One of my top fifteen possibly top ten impersonators of all-time.
