Via everyone
Hm. Well, I had embedded here a YouTube video of William Shatner doing a dramatic reading of Sarah Palin's goodbye speech, from Conan O'Brien's show. But NBC, in its wisdom, asked YouTube to take it down. If you explore NBC's site, you might find it. I dunno. (Note to NBC: When videos go viral, it might be best to skip the Tamiflu.)
It was pretty funny. Yet nothing can ever top Shatner's version of "Rocket Man" (and this is by far the clearest version of this video I've seen):

Hey Jim, You can link it through Conan O'Brien on NBC's site. they still have it up over there. It's 150 degrees hotter there than it was months ago.
I have a soft spot for William Shatner, nutbar though he is, and found his autobiography amusing to listen to on CD.
I hadn't seen his version of Rocket Man...three Shatners at once, oh my. And did he still have his own hair then?
Hey, dudes and dudettes, I have the finest Billy Boy collection known to man! Free of charge! My goddamn nurse is HIS COUSIN!
Ring it loud and clear whenever you want. It's not publicly available.
Jim, just a sock-puppet and a Porky Pig link a day and I think I'm settled for life.
I had a dream (believe it or not, I can actually play Rocket Man on the piano and sing it pretty well) but in the dream I played it for Stevie Wonder. He was not overly impressed, but then, he loves Michael Jackson.
Whaddyagonnado.
If by "collection," you mean of Bill's old toupees, I'd totally love to see that.
Uhh . . .
Umm . . .
No, Jim, not toupees. Do you know, can you possibly wrap your mind around how much a William Shatner Official Toupee is worth? Why on Earth would I possibly offer it to you, anyway?
Okay, all right, let's settle on $50 and that's the end of it. Paypal, Mastercard preferred. It even has his preferred lotion, Quorum For Men, embedded in it.
Let's do this deal now; I have debts.
Chef Nick... you have a personal NURSE?
Knatty,
I most certainly DO! She comes and attends to my personal needs every morning at 8:30, bathing me and protecting me from the bedsores that constantly threaten ever since The Accident. I tend to smell a bit after a week or so but she is very careful with the Clean 'n' Wipes.
No, silly! I guess I meant RECEPTIONIST at the hospital . . . but really, she IS Billy Boy's cousin.
And when Billy Boy checks out, which is going to be pretty soon, I'm going to make me a passle o' cash.
