Title: Shatner forgets Koenig's name
Post by: saunders on August 27, 2012, 04:23:09 PM
Here's an amazing video of William Shatner introducing the Trek cast and forgetting poor Walter Koenig's name.  No wonder he hates Shatner.  If I remember right, Nimoy pronounces Koenig wrong in his audiobook biography.  Poor guy!

Not to defend the Shat, he's a pompous ass, but this was back in his pharmaceutical era and likely he dodn't recall his own name. :)

This could been early on before they all buried the hatchet.
Did the crew just discover what Shat was making for this appearance, everyone looks tense.

Nichelle forgot to grab the mic so Bill wouldn't cut her off and I don't know what James Doohan said but he looked pissed too.

Walter got Bill's special drink lol!

Awkwarrrrrrd. From the looks of the set, it was probably during or right after ST5. They were all just directed by Shatner. Probably some weirdness there.

I have to agree, that is a bad day for Walter Koenig, embarrassing to say the least. I would say Shatner should be embarrassed as well, but I doubt he was.. Walter should have spat his drink out on Shat's hair piece, that would have completed the Video.

They all look like they seriously do not want to be there.

Who the hell got them to sit there in their costumes for a press event? Totally right out of Galaxy Quest. "I'm not going to say that stupid line!"

In Bill's defense, it's not like Walter was an original cast member. He was kind of like RC3 in Knight Rider.
