  • Summary

  • Nick takes a look back at the one and only time William Shatner hosted "Saturday Night Live," which aired live on December 20th, 1986, as the Season 12 Christmas episode. The show featured special guests Buster Poindexter, comedian Kevin Meaney, and musical guest Lone Justice. At the time, Shatner was riding high on the success of the latest "Star Trek" film and his hit TV series "TJ Hooker," both of which were hilariously satirized on the show that night. In this episode, you'll hear about the funny parodies of "Star Trek" and "TJ Hooker," plus behind-the-scenes stories from that memorable night. Nick also highlights other hilarious sketches, including Jan Hooks' and Nora Dunn's fantastic Sweeney Sisters, Al Franken's uproarious health report on Ronald Reagan, and the most talked-about (and controversial) sketch of the night—where Shatner, playing himself, verbally massacres fans at a "Star Trek" Convention, delivering the now-famous line, "Get a life, you people!" This sketch not only re-sparked national interest in SNL but also made headlines, cementing itself as one of the funniest and most iconic moments in the show's history. [Ep89]
