Classic Sci-Fi Moments: Shatner at a Trek Convention

Phasers on shame! In this classic sci-fi moment, William Shatner shows up for a guest spot on Saturday Night Live. The premise: Shatner attends a Trekkie convention, where he’s bombarded with Star Trek trivia that he knows nothing about, and truthfully, no one knows anything about unless you’re a self-professed “Trekkie” and proud of it. Shatner’s response is brilliant, starting with the classic, “You’ve turned an enjoyable job that I did for two years as a lark into a colossal waste of time!” Followed by other dumbfounded questions as, “How old are you people”? And, of course, the Geek-tastic cap-off, “Have you ever kissed a girl?” Jon Lovitz’s response (dressed up as a Trekkie nerd, of course) to the question is priceless.
