Shatner Reveals the Original Obama Opening of SNL

[ThomasTheAlleyCat]

Shatner for president!!!

[ajabberwock]

Bill Shatner for President!

(If Obama can do a Canadian can, I'll xerox Bill a US birth certificate)

[CharityBarnum]

@ajabberwock He'd have my vote!

[FetidToecheese]

Lisabeth is cute!

[collective9466]

it was huge! it could have carried 10 people

[Bestmanme08]

Great new bio (All About Jeffrey Hunter) with Bill Shatner dedication! Bio at amazon!

[willvanna]

Bill has been a weekly member of my family form 1960 something until now and will always be. Long may he rock. After Boston Legal he has been missed nice to know that he is on the net.

[shfbdfi1273]

Priceline, don't forget about Commodore computer.

[takerdust]

Fat Jared from Subway is no OBama

[willvanna]

No you are correct but he will telling the truth.

[landstar95]

@takerdust

no he is not but at least he IS american born and not a muslim

[wojiwodj]

he's a good example of an older man who some how remains cool and vital, he looks great!!!

[tony45347]

without a doubt Bill Shatner is a first class guy!

[Binome909]

Why did Mr Shatner feel that he should not do a sketch with the Man from Subway who lost a lot of weight - ??

[ART1975CZ]

Lets Face it, Sorry to say, that man lost weight ? And ? That other idea, Much, Much Better

[Bongwyre2112]

shut the fuck up idiot. Your religion is complete and total bullshit. Every year moronic christians say the world is coming to an end, and even in their own bible it says that they will not know when the end will come.

So shut the fuck up. We've been hearing this ignorant song and dance for centuries! They thought the world was coming to an end in the year 666. I see that happened. Idiot.

[BMGfan07]

Met you Mr. Shatner years ago at convention in Wichita Falls, TX.

Told a hilarious story about you I think you were in the shower in a hotel, when you come out there was a woman that some how managed to get into your room. Anywho the funny part was that she had your pants and wouldn't give them back until you gave her an autograph. Mind you this was years ago so I may not have retold the story accuratly. By the way, your roast on Comedy Central was hilarious!

[whiskeymedic]

who's the hot chick?

[tonytarheel55]

i dont know but i would love to price her line lol

[SmoggyZilla]

That's his daughter Liz

[kikyounokanashii]

does anyone else think "it was huge; could have carried ten people" is the funniest/cutest thing ever? <3

[tuebey]

the mans 77 for gods sake, i hope ill look as young and happy when im that old =)

[loren001]

Is that his daughter? She knows how to humour him.

[Nejipromaster95]

yes it's his baby

[dorothyandtoto39]

I was so happy to see Bill on Saturday Night Live! He has such a great energy and adds a spark when he enters a room!

[BlueTruckGuy]

James Tiberas Kirk rules! Klingon are the scum of the universe! LMAO

[Pallindrom27]

I had heard that Obama was going to be on SNL and was disappointed when he wasn't,but not HALF as disappointed as I was when I found out that Mr.Shatner wasn't going to be in the new Star Trek film.

[chris14S]

Thats really to bad. It would have been an interesting and funny sketch to see those three together.

[666Luftballons]

Don't mess with him, he's a conduit of the forces of nature and will send a bolt of lightning into your face.

[Treknologist]

Cool.

[hockeystickbd]

I love how Bill can laugh at himself and others. Looking good Bill, keep up the videos.

[klockheed]

he looks younger and younger

[RockyBalboa211]

He will get so young that he will fight new kirk in the movie.

[rakeshkalathil]

Hi mr.shanter,

I am from India have been seeing a lot of boston legal lately ...you are very convincing as the great Denny Crane with that...err...what was that....aah..mad cow :) I am a fan of yours. great work sir.

[kooodeal]

DamnO'crats

[willtrib]

Very nice!

[982Munchie]

Just finished his book "Up Till Now" and am more confused than ever about the man I've been watching for decades. Really, what's it all about, Shatman?

[LMichaelL65]

I love "The Shat", but kind of feel bad for Jared the Subway guy...

[strahljd]

pretty dumb

[michaelrobert1974]

Barack Obama WILL be our next president!

Obama/Biden 2008!

[lakeseminole]

Without respect to all of his television experience, this is the kind of guy I would like to have as a close friend. Mr. Shatner is genuine, witty, interesting to listen to and I just think he would make a good friend.

[GMPNY]

I have to agree, he is a pretty decent guy. He doesnt blow up or go off the deep end and he isnt and never has acted like a Hollywood Hot Shot who was to good for the little people. This guy does it ALL with grace and he is gratefull at the same time. They dont come much better than that.

[elldrick]

I agree. I love Shatner. He made a career from making fun of himself.

[CentralServicesMPLS]

So cool to get the behind the scenes! I love the insight.

Thanks.

[marlyshaw]

William Shatner is so damn cute! Gotta love him on Boston Legal!! Just awesome! (and it actually shows his acting ability).. Yup.. he is just too damn cute!

[mhirtes12]

Too bad he wasn't on with Sarah Palin so he could have told her to "get a life!".

[mhirtes12]

PS: I'm glad Shatt was able to negotiate a better deal with the sketch writing staff. ;)

[EldritchMask]

An interesting vid.

Brilliant.

[jdbauer36]

I never realized how long winded Captain Kirk is.

[51362879]

Yes, he, like Adam West "Batman" would purposely drag their lines out so they could get more TV camera time.

[jdbauer36]

Ahh yes, Adam West. Another Drone pitched down do slo-mo sound.

[CrimsonBaby2007]

Mr. Shatner, I love you!! You seem to take life like a 'grain of salt' and your sense of humor is totally hilarious! I honestly get it!

God bless you, sweetie! A fan forever!!!!

[dstrackNC]

no matter how much he drinks it won't make her arms look skinny.

[AmosNomore]

dstrackNC, seeing as how that's his daughter I doubt Bill is getting all hammered over her anatomical dimensions, but point taken.

[starzship]

William, I grew up watching Star trek TV shows and movies!! It's great to see you making commercials, etc. Live long!!!

[susieQleo]

This just goes to show how great you are. To be able to go in and at the last moments notice, still pull off a skit you weren't even prepared for!!

[NorthernVAMike]

I'm reading your new autobiography! It really is a good book. Thanks for having a YT channel!

[Csaboska]

I think Michael Phelps would make a great Vulcan (in the next Star Trek film)

[HunterKiller55]

good skit, I happened to be home watching it that night. Funny stuff, priceless Shatner as always!

[yutu34]

Bill, you are looking great! Thanks for this channel, something new almost every day.

[a9999]

wow huh LOL . chck out my profile for more vids. 2

[lorrieatLDP]

Down to the wire - that's broadcasting..I used to work for a radio network in NYC and we had a sportscaster who once went on air with absolutely no script and nothing written...it was quite amazing! Glad that your trip to the Big Apple wasn't entirely for naught...and kudos to the SNL team for all their creativity and hard work!

[pimpdaddypiggy]

WANT TO SEE THIS

the holy trinity of awesome

[utubeuser1839]

where can i see this clip of you on SNL? i must see!

[Kewachte]

It went over just FINE...I still would like to see Original someday...down the road... :D

[SRSLostbull]

Mr Shatner, I've been a huge fan all my life and I am really enjoying this channel. God Bless, Steve

[edhobbs444]

White-bull, you are actually his love child. Fess up White-bull!

[SRSLostbull]

I wish.

[CrowMagnumMan]

Awesome. I didn't get to see the skit originally. Glad you got to go on the show at least. From what I'm seeing of it here, you did great.

[ACGuy31]

My grandmother made the poor choice of seeing Bill on television and booking tickets through Priceline. She broke her should a week before the trip, and they wont refund her tickets.

[reinventingthemonkey]

Very cool missed the episode all together due to Ike. Bill you rule.....

[cyberwanderer]

Price-line Negotiator!!!

[cheeya9000]

Bill Shatner is my homeboy!

<3

[assignmentearth]

I love Shatner.  Don't care what anybody says.

[lukeabout]

Such good stuff!

You work it so well!

Very cool - to go behind the scenes with you, and see hoe things come together - or don't.

Thanks Bill, and special thanks to your daughter .  . . good for her for prodding you to keep contributing!

WE LOVE IT!

[Mahoivlich]

thanks again Bill

[FrobmanAKATillman]

Neat stuff. And that's quite a few script changes due to certain people not attending.

[DarrenAdamsDoctor]

I love the little tid bits you share!  Thanks.

[jeffwads]

the shatner is ageless. keep it coming.

[Ivansvideocollection]

Always a pleasure watching you Bill. Best wishes!!!

[hatemeproductions]

It was great seeing you on snl Mr. Shatner.

You should host again, I'd love to see a part two of the revolving restaurant.

[Zordova]

Interesting stuff.

[JohnDeBunkTest]

What a cool story.

In times of crisis, Obama makes good decisions and does the right thing.

Oh yea, good sketch Bill.
