William Shatner appeared on THE HOWARD STERN SHOW yesterday as well as THE ROSIE O'DONNELL SHOW. Telling Rosie, "Chefs cooking complex things, simple things, laughs, lots of laughs, it is funny. It's cooking meets the World Wrestling Federation. So the women can watch for the cooking, the men can watch for the activity and we all can watch and laugh," Shatner promoted his IRON CHEF USA, which airs November 16th at 9p on UPN. For a full video clip, check out MediaTrek.
Shatner spoke of similar things on the STERN show, and Stern Show News has a summary. Among his comments were some about the upcoming WEAKEST LINK appearance, IRON CHEF USA, and MIND MELD. Shatner also denied ever banging a Trekkies, though apparently not everyone on the show believed him.
Finally, Entertainment Weekly reviewed MIND MELD, saying, "Only two types of people will rent this seemingly interminable heart-to-heart between Star Trek's original leads, who rival black holes in sheer self-absorption: (a) those who can name and number 'the episode with the Horta' (don't ask), and (b) those who've heard the rumor that Shatner, the original gas giant, lets 'something' slip around about the 50 minute mark. For what it's worth, this reviewer heard the odoriferous clarion call loud and clear, bumping the grade up to an F."
