One of the best interviews Howard's ever done. RIP James Doohan.👍 My only critique is it should have been longer and Howard should've let James talk more. In all, it was epic all the same, back in the heydays when I was just becoming a fan. These were golden times.👍
@@stuartmenziesfarrant I agree bc these days he's just dialing it in. I stopped drinking the Stern Kool aid when Artie left and haven't listened since.
I think this shows how bad of an interviewer Howard can be. He can't stand people getting more attention that him and acts like a manchild. The guest here is what makes it good.
I don't dare to suggest that mr Doohan was not speaking the truth, because I admire him - like I do with all Star Trek actors. I do, however, refuse to think that William Shatner is as much of an asshole as they paint him to be here. I bet there were some conflicts between the cast, but I also suspect some of the things they say are exaggerated for whatever reason. William Shatner is my hero and always will be no matter what!
I've seen several of these interviews with Doohan and Takei bashing Shatner. They never site anything tangibly horrible about the guy though. They rarely speak of any 1 incident that you can point at and say there, that's why hes an ass. It's usually pretty vague or shit like, "hes a horrible actor, and I'm sooo much more worthy of admiration because I'm better". Takeis beef started according to takei because, "I wanted to be captain of my own ship and Shatner wouldn't let me". It all comes off as crazy bitter jealousy.
I’m just starting this video but Takei never said he was worthy of admiration and I’m pretty sure he never said he was a better actor, he agreed he wasn’t a great actor and made some jokes. George has pointed out his general personality traits, that he’s selfish, he wanted every minute and every scene to be about him, that he lies about things (like George not inviting him to his wedding) etc etc. There doesn’t have to be some giant incident of Shatner beating everyone up, it was years of him just being a general asshole. Go listen to the time where Howard got them both on the phone at the same time, it’s clear Shatner is the asshole and the bullshit artist.
@@drevm7991 You're obviously taking their side of the story then because Shatner still says that he never got the wedding invitation. It makes sense that George didn't want him there being the one with the beef. Keep in mind that Shatner never had the problem with Takei it was always his costars having "jealousy issues" and not all of them had issues...just the ones that didn't really have much of a career outside of star trek. It's always been about jealousy. Takei and Doohan are 2 classically trained actors and Shatner was just some kid off the streets who got all the attention. You can hear it when Doohan attacks Shatners portrayal of a drunk.
things like deliberately screwing up his 2-shots so only his closeups were usable; counting lines of dialog to make sure he always had more, insisting others parts were cut down; reminding cast and crew from the getgo that he was the star, and lights, camera angles, scripts were to be designed around him. to talk in detail in public about these matters would be so much inside baseball -- but shatner was always a careerist monster . . .
Well......its HOWARD STERN show!!! LOL!.....however, I still enjoyed what little Scotty had to share with us........and he was a good sport about it...... : D
I only played to this piece to watch James...but I really couldn't keep on because of Howie's incessant gaslighting. After this I could imagine that Shatner would be considered an angel by comparison.
The gossip and slander is unbecoming. Saying Shatner can’t act is nothing but bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness, Shatner is a great actor. How many times did Shatner offer the olive branch? There never seems to be a reason given for his hatred for the man. Notice Nimoy 🖖. Kelly and Shatner were the three main characters of Star Trek and they didn’t have a problem with Shatner. Could it be jealousy? The bitter comments just ruins Scotty for me.
This doesn't ruin Scotty nor Doohan for me, but I do agree that something fishy is going on here with all that slander... What does ruin Doohan for me is how he talks about killing two people during D-Day like he scored some points on the firing range. That's just terrible.
Does anyone know exactly how long did Howard have this wierd angle setup where the guest were sitting on that side of the studio? It feels so wierd but I remember it didnt last long
If I had to guess, this was probably the beginning and as soon as Howard saw it, he changed it. Because this is one of the rare times you see his left side when he's always shot from his right.
Alternatively, they could have also changed it here when they were installing the couch portion of the set? But I want to say that the table panel was opposite Howard's board by the time Private Parts was out a year later.
Hot take: I wish we'd gotten modern Howard interviewing Doohan. The war bits would have been better. Doohan was a great man and while I'm not saying this is a horrible interview, Howard could have done better.
I hear what you’re saying. I would of loved to hear that aspect. Everyone else would hate you for admitting to want modern stern for anything. I still enjoyed this interview though.
Though I agree with you, this was 25 years ago - when most WWII vets were still alive. Howard has interviewed plenty of actors/WWII vets before this and was more fascinated with his take on Shatner.
I've never been into Star Trek and the few times I have tried I realised that the show was not for me but it seems like the stuff happening off camera was as action packed and interesting as the show itself. I can't help it I actually like Shatner and find him likable and fun but then again I have never worked with the guy. It's possible that it could be jealousy due to Shatner going on to become the most recognisable and "star" of the show but it's weird how they all feel the same.
Not "all" - only the ones that had smaller roles than Shatner, Nimoy and Kelly. And even that is not really true, because I never heard Walter Koenig speaking ill of him. Neither did I hear Nichols slandering Shatner. Come to think of it, it's only Doohan and Takei that seem to hate the guy...
It's very difficult in that world NOT to be bitter. Shatner went on to make $150M & is celebrated wherever he goes. The rest of the cast excluding Nimoy had trouble paying the rent. Shatner could have helped them out with gigs. Very bitter.
He (or Nimoy when he was alive) owed nothing to those people. Shatner lived out of his car after the original series ended/his wife divorced him. That’s like me telling you to get people jobs that worked in an office with you decades ago.
I dont care who what or when but its low class to just talk about anybody because who knows what really happened or what motivates any of these people, Shatner seems ok to me and i think jealousy has a lot to do with it all, Shatner was king of the hill at that time😮
What i dont like is when these actors trash Shatner, but wont explain in any detail why they are so sour towards him. Leads me to believe it really is just jealousy. And as much as Doohan brags about his acting experience, he sure comes across as dry and boring. And i can say this with certainty, Shatner is a far better narrator. Shatner Doohan and Takei all narrated several Star Trek books. Shatner is a BOSS at it, getting the voices right, reading with energy.... Etc. Takei is pretty good too, but Doohan put me to sleep
Only what 2 of them left? Takei and the Russian guy. Shatner, spock, the doctor, the engineer, ohora, all gone. Im pretty sure shatners dead. The others I know for sure are.
it is pronounced Doo-Han, you do pronounce the H , Its an Irish name though not too common, mostly found in the Donegal area.. his Scottish accent was never great lol. but there's been a lot worse
The fact a dude who was first off his boat during D-Day was also sat in front of peak Howard Stern is a hell of a culture clash if I’ve ever seen one. What an absolute hero he was to survive it all though.
I dont like all this trash talking about Shatner and they never give specific reasons for their hate. It really does seem like they are just JEALOUS of him. Also, if he were to walk into the room, their tone would change. Doohan brags about all the radio shows he's done, well i can tell you this: he and Shatner both have narrated Star Trek books, Shatner is amaIngly good at narrating, Doohan is TERRIBLE, he'll put you to sleep. His acting was pretty dull too. When people think Star Trek, the first person that comes to mind is definitely Captain Kirk. Followed by Spock. Guys like Doohan and Takei just HATE that. And for Doohan to say Shatner "doesnt know how to act" is just BS. Shatner is a Shakespearian (classically) trained actor, just like Patrick Stewart (Picard) He brought the character of Captain Kirk to life, made it ICONIC. The rest of the crew was merely support, and they all resented it.
Somehow I never heard Walter Koenig speaking ill of Shatner... Makes me wonder how it fits the jealousy problem. Can it be that one of the most famous (misquoted) lines from Star Trek ("beam me up, Scotty") does MENTION Doohan's character, thus making him forever known in the popculture, but is spoken by Shatner and thus is forever tied to HIM..? It's like, everyone knows the line, everyone knows who says it, who is adressed by it - but honestly: only the die hard fans nowdays know who James Doohan was. Lots of people know of Shatner, even if they didn't watch Star Trek, but not many know Doohan after all these years...
This interview made me cringe. Let the man talk about his WWII service, or really anything else he wanted to talk about without interrupting with stupid sound effects and comments. Pretty disrespectful if you ask me. This is why Ive never bothered watching or listening to the Howard Stern show.
I saw a video of Kelly where he said something along the lines of Shatner is the kind of guy who would pee on the last piece of pizza just so no one else can have it. He also talked about how mad he was at Shatner when his dog died running into a sprinkler head and Shatner started laughing when he told him. Overall, I think he complained less about Shatner than most of the others but he had some things to say over the years.
I'd always wished Trek cast members were more specific abt just what Shatner did on and off the sets that was so contemptible. The only thing we have is that he'd take a director to the side and make sure the camera was on him most of the time. That gives us a general idea, but it doesn't quite justify all the spewing venom.
Lot of it is overblown. Even Nicholes has lightened up about it over the years, her book isn't as condemning, going so far to say that Shatner's inward look at himself, his 'ego', is just who he is, and people have taken him the wrong way. He likes being the center of attention, and he can be an ass when you catch him at a bad time, but he's not as bad as people say. George Takei had 'beefs' with Walter Koenig and in general was a fairly spiteful jealous person. Some of the stuff he has said hasn't aged well (and his more recent comments) so its interesting to see that we've only been fed one perspective. Shatner doesn't talk shit about his cast mates, except when he's 'reacting' to their comments, and sometimes he'll have a dig during his stand-ups, but nothing as vitriol as what Takei has said.
This is a terrible interview, doesn't let Doohan talk, clapping all the time after saying stuff like you killed them right! clap clap clap! You and Oj love killing right! Did you want to kill Sulu!, he asks him! Just the worst interview ever.
How does someone who can't act wind up in a major MGM movie version of Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov? I like Jimmy Doohan and all the Trek cast, but whatever you can say about Shatner, I don't buy the "he can't act" stuff. We've seen tons of Shatner's early work, much of it outstanding. Like the Twilight Zone' Nightmare at 20,000 Feet', for example. Doohan boasted an extensive resume in stage, screen, and radio, but Shatner can do likewise. Shatner had 5 years stage experience in his youth before he even saw a camera. From what everyone says about him, he's probably a pain-in-the-ass to work with on the set, but from an audience's POV he's a neverending pleasure. More so than any other Trek actor. We don't know the man, but he's fun to watch, and, sorry, but that's what sells.
We all know Shatner hams it up and gets ridiculously melodramatic at times, but he's a fine actor overall. It's easy to laugh at some of his absurd moments, but when you take his entire career, he's done some legitimately good work. As you said, who else can do what Shatner does? He's absurd, but you'll never forget him.
Poor James. Wish people would have given him the time to speak freely w/out interrupting him every 10 seconds. I would have loved to have sat down with him and given him the floor to share his life un-impeded for hours if not days/weeks. When you have people like James, respect them, honor them, listen to them. Give them the time to share. Not only can you have make them happy, you can learn a lot for yourself. Living history to make the future great. Sorely missed man. 😢
I respect Howard, he's turned his monologues into a business. But he's an atrocious interviewer. He hardly lets the guest get a word in. And when the guest is a non-assertive, unassuming guy like James Doohan, its infuriating.
I don't think he's been bad the last decade or so but this is one of his worst interviews from his crazy days. I said this a few minutes ago, I wish we'd gotten modern Stern doing this interview because we would have gotten so much more out of it and there would have been actual research done to cover for the fact that Howard didn't do any prep on him really. Really disappointed from this and I kind of feel bad for Mr. Doohan at points with this. Rare case where I feel that Howard should have given way more respect to a guest.
@warren3427 Who the fuck wants an NPR interview with Scottie from Star Trek?... Young Howard had energy and quick wit, knowing full well that the rapid fire cross examination style is more likely to get revelation and honesty...rather than let guests do their Tonight Show pre-programmed spiel.
This was ~1996, two years after the Robin Williams interview. Howard seems to mis-remember (or overdramatize) that 1994 Williams interview, but, whichever version of the story you believe, he started to realize "Uhh, I'm acting like a dork and ruining what could be fantastic conversations" during this period. Seemed to tone it down (somewhat) by the 2002-2005 timeframe. Not really defending the guy, except to say there are "Three Phases of Howard," and this cocky up-and-coming middle wasn't his best.
Chris Doohan is as talented as his dad, his impersonation of Scotty in 'TOS Star Trek Continues' on RUclips is bloody well spot on. He was unfortunately passed over as Scotty in the Kelvin timeline Star Trek movies and it was a damn shame because he's a definite chip off his dad's block.
If I had to guess, this was probably the beginning and as soon as Howard saw it, he changed it. Because this is one of the rare times you see his left side when he's always shot from his right.
Holy bovine, Howard is a frackin' war monger. My 8 years in the Corps was enough for me. You can certainly tell Howard has never spent a second in uniform.
I don’t like this video Howard will not let Scotty talk very bad interview. Scotty is a great guy, and they should sit there and listen to him instead of continuously interrupting him.
Shatner is a trained Shakespearean actor. My parents saw him in summer stock in NY in "There's a Girl in My Soup" and said he was terrific. He was also very good in "The Andersonville Trial" on PBS. I think he was better as a stage actor than a screen actor, which requires a lower profile. But if you watched "Boston Legal", it was Shatner you turned in to see, despite all the other lawyers on the show. Whatever the feud between Shatner and his "Star Trek" castmates (read Shatner's biography), Doohan shouldn't be so smug.
Seems to me, the friction stems from Shatner taking his work a lot more seriously than any others that worked with him. He was egotistical and driven more than everyone else. Even today when you hear him recollecting he looks at it as a job that he had, nothing more. He's not sentimental about it at all. Everyone's likely worked with someone like this.
Sad this is a saw him at a computer show years ago wearing his Star Fleet uniform sitting all by himself and I was a puss and didn't go talk to him. Later I found him standing outside alone again and to this day I still kick myself in the butt

James was having a good time and no one else was putting him on the air then
Agreed. - Trash radio show. - I hope James sold plenty of books to make the ordeal worth it.
"Their eyes are still half closed from the flash of that bomb" 🤣
James Dohan is amazing! What a fantastic episode!
D-Day, awesome. Thanks for your service. 🎖️
Shatner seems to be the classy guy of Trek. Never said a bad thing about anybody. Now that's class.
I never knew what an engineer was till Scotty.. a war vet.. that played an engineer.. a real man in both worlds..
Happy 101st bday Jimmy.....bless u Scotty!!!!

Scotty was Canadian and survived D-Day. Enough said
Thank you.scottie..
I wish Howard and company Would Shut Up And Allow Their Honored Guest To SPEAK!
James Doohan, like other Trek B actors, were filled with jealousy over Shatner.
He even refused to speak to Shatner for Star Trek Memories, while Takei did speak.
20:50 I wonder if Takei ever heard this. Holy shit.
Oh my god. What an awful comment.
What an awful act the Japanese did at Pearl Harbor it was war.
This was when Howard had balls! He’d never do this today (unless it’s to insult soft targets like Trump or Trump supporters).

This interview made me cringe. Let the man talk about his WWII service, or really anything else he wanted to talk about without interrupting with stupid sound effects and comments. Pretty disrespectful if you ask me. This is why Ive never bothered watching or listening to the Howard Stern show.
This was from 1994! Nearly 30 years ago..
Doohan is a badass.
By my recollection, DeForrest Kelly had to be one of the only ones who didn't say anything about Shatner.
Kelly was a very sweet and mild-mannered guy.
I saw a video of Kelly where he said something along the lines of Shatner is the kind of guy who would pee on the last piece of pizza just so no one else can have it. He also talked about how mad he was at Shatner when his dog died running into a sprinkler head and Shatner started laughing when he told him. Overall, I think he complained less about Shatner than most of the others but he had some things to say over the years.
He was a very good actor. - He always held my attention when he spoke, and was often the moral backbone of the series.
I'd always wished Trek cast members were more specific abt just what Shatner did on and off the sets that was so contemptible. The only thing we have is that he'd take a director to the side and make sure the camera was on him most of the time. That gives us a general idea, but it doesn't quite justify all the spewing venom.
Lot of it is overblown. Even Nicholes has lightened up about it over the years, her book isn't as condemning, going so far to say that Shatner's inward look at himself, his 'ego', is just who he is, and people have taken him the wrong way. He likes being the center of attention, and he can be an ass when you catch him at a bad time, but he's not as bad as people say. George Takei had 'beefs' with Walter Koenig and in general was a fairly spiteful jealous person. Some of the stuff he has said hasn't aged well (and his more recent comments) so its interesting to see that we've only been fed one perspective. Shatner doesn't talk shit about his cast mates, except when he's 'reacting' to their comments, and sometimes he'll have a dig during his stand-ups, but nothing as vitriol as what Takei has said.
@@Xydonus Takai has a charm of his own, but let's face it, most of the press he ever gets is by smeering Shatner.
They are all mad he was the lead
@@robvangessel3766 ; If being a great big drama queen is charming then, yeah, Sulu has that going for him.
@@Xydonus Takei comes off looking far worse and mean spirited than Shatner could ever be if you ask me.
He was a part of D-Day? Damn - what a hero.
This is a terrible interview, doesn't let Doohan talk, clapping all the time after saying stuff like you killed them right! clap clap clap! You and Oj love killing right! Did you want to kill Sulu!, he asks him! Just the worst interview ever.
Imagine being old in the 90s
@chobo voyager James Doohan was born in 1920, he was 76 in this interview. He’d be 103 years old today
How does someone who can't act wind up in a major MGM movie version of Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov? I like Jimmy Doohan and all the Trek cast, but whatever you can say about Shatner, I don't buy the "he can't act" stuff. We've seen tons of Shatner's early work, much of it outstanding. Like the Twilight Zone' Nightmare at 20,000 Feet', for example. Doohan boasted an extensive resume in stage, screen, and radio, but Shatner can do likewise. Shatner had 5 years stage experience in his youth before he even saw a camera. From what everyone says about him, he's probably a pain-in-the-ass to work with on the set, but from an audience's POV he's a neverending pleasure. More so than any other Trek actor. We don't know the man, but he's fun to watch, and, sorry, but that's what sells.
We all know Shatner hams it up and gets ridiculously melodramatic at times, but he's a fine actor overall. It's easy to laugh at some of his absurd moments, but when you take his entire career, he's done some legitimately good work.
As you said, who else can do what Shatner does? He's absurd, but you'll never forget him.
@@keefriff99 IMO, most of Shatner's pre-Trek early work testifies to his acting abililty, which is terrific at its best.
can still be an ahole.
Poor James. Wish people would have given him the time to speak freely w/out interrupting him every 10 seconds. I would have loved to have sat down with him and given him the floor to share his life un-impeded for hours if not days/weeks. When you have people like James, respect them, honor them, listen to them. Give them the time to share. Not only can you have make them happy, you can learn a lot for yourself. Living history to make the future great. Sorely missed man. 😢
he dont respect nobody. howards world.
This guy was at dday but howard would rather talk about celebrities
What was he doin there? Hocking star trek merch?
Yeah no shit a book about his life
absolute ass
R.I.P Mr. Doohan.
😔😔😔
Only saw this once back on E in the old days. Great contribution to mankind !!!!!
When Howard wasn't crude and crass, he was a great interviewer and funny. Love Jimmy Doohan...aye laddie!
I respect Howard, he's turned his monologues into a business. But he's an atrocious interviewer. He hardly lets the guest get a word in. And when the guest is a non-assertive, unassuming guy like James Doohan, its infuriating.
Worst interviewer ever! And the same stupid sex questions over and over again, it's amazing he ever got as far as he did
I don't think he's been bad the last decade or so but this is one of his worst interviews from his crazy days. I said this a few minutes ago, I wish we'd gotten modern Stern doing this interview because we would have gotten so much more out of it and there would have been actual research done to cover for the fact that Howard didn't do any prep on him really. Really disappointed from this and I kind of feel bad for Mr. Doohan at points with this. Rare case where I feel that Howard should have given way more respect to a guest.
@warren3427 Who the fuck wants an NPR interview with Scottie from Star Trek?...
Young Howard had energy and quick wit, knowing full well that the rapid fire cross examination style is more likely to get revelation and honesty...rather than let guests do their Tonight Show pre-programmed spiel.
@warren3427 Larry King never interrupted guests. He was a great listener. Not sure what you’re talking about
This was ~1996, two years after the Robin Williams interview. Howard seems to mis-remember (or overdramatize) that 1994 Williams interview, but, whichever version of the story you believe, he started to realize "Uhh, I'm acting like a dork and ruining what could be fantastic conversations" during this period. Seemed to tone it down (somewhat) by the 2002-2005 timeframe. Not really defending the guy, except to say there are "Three Phases of Howard," and this cocky up-and-coming middle wasn't his best.
Chris Doohan is as talented as his dad, his impersonation of Scotty in 'TOS Star Trek Continues' on RUclips is bloody well spot on. He was unfortunately passed over as Scotty in the Kelvin timeline Star Trek movies and it was a damn shame because he's a definite chip off his dad's block.
Chris is just an amateur actor
hoo hoo hoo dont you know i came up with radio first howard!! hoo hoo hoo you be ROB BIN!!!!
I'm sorry What??? Doohan you owe your whole career to Roddenberry and Shatner. Been riding the Star Trek/Shatner coat-tails for 4 decades.
correct
Howard never learned how to shut up and listen.
I cringed every time Howard played the machine gun sound effects.
Howard doesn't play sound effects, Fred does that.
It wasn't a sound effect there was a real maniac in the halls that day
Lmao. Great interview. I didn’t know he hated Shatner. 😂😂😂
JAmes Doohan, Thank you for your service!
Their studio setup was so odd here. 😂
If I had to guess, this was probably the beginning and as soon as Howard saw it, he changed it. Because this is one of the rare times you see his left side when he's always shot from his right.
No, this was before they had the choice to build their studio from scratch like they did at Sirius.
10:08 the exact opposite of what howard is today. sad.
Terrible typical questions by Howard
Holy bovine, Howard is a frackin' war monger. My 8 years in the Corps was enough for me. You can certainly tell Howard has never spent a second in uniform.
Bless them all, Bless them all , The long and the short and the tall ! THEY WILL SOON BE GONE ! Listen, while we can !!
He saved a fans life too
He was a gentleman 😅
Absolutely fantastic howard doohan interview
I don’t like this video Howard will not let Scotty talk very bad interview. Scotty is a great guy, and they should sit there and listen to him instead of continuously interrupting him.
That's just Howard, he's always been like that. Loves to hear himself talk even when somebody else is supposed to do the talking.
lose the woman
Shatner is a trained Shakespearean actor. My parents saw him in summer stock in NY in "There's a Girl in My Soup" and said he was terrific. He was also very good in "The Andersonville Trial" on PBS. I think he was better as a stage actor than a screen actor, which requires a lower profile. But if you watched "Boston Legal", it was Shatner you turned in to see, despite all the other lawyers on the show. Whatever the feud between Shatner and his "Star Trek" castmates (read Shatner's biography), Doohan shouldn't be so smug.
Seems to me, the friction stems from Shatner taking his work a lot more seriously than any others that worked with him. He was egotistical and driven more than everyone else.
Even today when you hear him recollecting he looks at it as a job that he had, nothing more. He's not sentimental about it at all.
Everyone's likely worked with someone like this.
@@Kinann Basically what he said in his auto-biography.
A real man
Sad this is a saw him at a computer show years ago wearing his Star Fleet uniform sitting all by himself and I was a puss and didn't go talk to him. Later I found him standing outside alone again and to this day I still kick myself in the butt
