phoenixastraeaYesterday, David, Glenn, and I had the incredible fortune to come upon an old rerun of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air in which William Shatner had a guest appearance as himself. Imagine this recipe: Shatner (as himself), Will Smith, Alfonso Ribeiro, in a dentist's office FILLED with laughing gas.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen. Hilarity did in fact, ensue. All three of them were laughing hysterically, high on both life and the gas as they slap-sticked (stuck?) their way through the scene. The physical and visual comedy sent me into hysterics (who knew that a 5 foot long toothbrush could be that funny?!) and the three of them were obviously having the time of their lives.
Of course, the Star Trek jokes flew around like so many asteroids, with Alfonso imitating our favorite Scottish engineer only to have Shatner look at him in confusion and reply, 'Scotty! You're BLACK!!" Will Smith also paid homage to our beloved country doctor by saying, "Dammit Jim, I'm a homeboy from South Philly, not a doctor!!"
As if it couldn't get any better, the next scene is the set of a talk show that had scheduled an appearance for Shatner. When Will calls him, out he comes saying, "I'm right here, dawg!" Moments later, he comes dancing through, saying: "Throw your hands up in the air if you're a true playa!!"
Just when I thought my admiration for this man couldn't get any higher, he goes and does something like this.
William Shatner, here's to you.
