Bill Maher and William Shatner - the subject of the new documentary, "You Can Call Me Bill" - discuss two significant moments in American history.
Shatner trolling bill maher is absolutely hilarious.
You know they are friends and have been for a long time.
@@wheels2fun526friends can't troll each other?
He looks awesome for 93 years old!!!
He is amazing lucid and healthy for his age!
@@Djamonjathank you!
🙄 back handed comment
What’s his secret?
I think the wig helps him look younger. I'd better go buy one. lol
All that time spent at warp speed has worked wonders at age 93.
I tell your mom the same thing daily. #mature
Hes been zoomin around in space staying fresh and young while we've been turning into prunes.
Time Dilation. Look it up.
One minute in space for real. It worked its magic.
Right? 😂
William Shatner is a treasure! So glad that he is still amongst the living with all of his faculties!
I know man I KNOW
Will Shatner looks better than some 60 year olds I know…
Amazing isn't it? I work with a guy that's 45 and looks like the crypt keeper.
I love him too but he has botox
@@donnaleroy1717 He didn't botox his brain tho, he's still got it.
Who cares if he did? I've seen 60 and 70 year olds who have done botox and they look like streatched out museum exibits! He doesn't. He is an inspiration.
@@cuccicucci4480still more sense in him than the current president
And for all those youngsters out there who are critical of those of us with some age and wisdom, I give you William Shatner.
"She was a remarkably attractive lady" That was his point. Nothing about her race.
That's all that needed to be said that should be the only reason. Being attracted to someone should be the only reason ever.
He's bragging
We're talking about Captain Kirk, here. White, brown, black, green, purple, antennae, tail...he's not prejudiced.
William Shatner is an equal-opportunity ladies' man. 😎
Dude, he was augmenting Maher’s point. Maher was already rolling around like a mud wrestler in the fact that she's black. Shatner was only trying to flesh it out with the side bar "well, she was pretty fucking hot btw." That wasn't "his point." It was dragging this "yeah yeah we get it" lofty-ass historical bullshit to what it meant to the people actually doing it, and both have commented extensively over the decades how to them it was just a nice chance to get to make out with someone they mutually found very attractive. He didn't HAVE to boringly repeat the obvious to anyone.
Lmao! How is he so sharp at 93? This man is an utter legend!
Met someone yesterday at the accountant's while dropping off my taxes. Chatted with him while waiting our turn. Found out he was 96. sharp as a tack. great conversationalist and drove himself. may we all reach our 90's in good health.
"That's bad English". Indeed. 🤣🤣🤣
How else would you have not have grammared that?
The "In her lifetime, she was a remarkably attractive lady," part! 👍🏾😘
He is 93 years old and looks and acts considerably YOUNGER than both presidential candidates... and a whole lot of congressmen and senators
Shatner 4 Prez
@@dceplay - I didn't say that, it was just a comment on his mental fortitude
William Shatner is a true ICON and Living legend. He looks great at 93 and full if wit and wisdom 🩷
Being Canadian helps
He is so sharp and very funny! Got to love William Shatner!❤
This man is 93!!?? Wow Doesn’t even look it
The way he speaks, carries himself and his posture seems the same as he was in the 90’s.
Biden is 81
Transporters scramble and re- scramble your molecules, so I guess that has something to do with his longevity.
I hope I look this good at 93.
Insane. He's 100% himself mentally and looks great physically as well. Just a remarkable person and life.
He is so sharp and looks amazing for 93. Literally unbelievable.
It is amazing how good an interview Mr. Shatner gives at his age.
I still love William Shatner and Star Trek
We love William he’s a national treasure!
Agree William Maher is a national treasure!
😂 shatners canadian
Shatner has one more Star Trek appearance in him , he look's and sound's great😀😀
intergalactic treasure!
@@nikolaaswright6028 No one mentioned a nationality 😂
William Shatner, one of, if not, the most famous Montrealer ever. Talk about trailblazer, that man shattered the glass ceiling, paved the road and conquered every inches of the way for canadian actors in Hollywood and beyond.
As an American (born in raised). One of the things I like about him is that he is Canadian
Glass ceiling?
@@Paul-vf2wl i dont want to start a Quebec history 101 but lets just say that the colonial status that stigmatized our province took awhile to get rid of.
Glass ceiling? Shatner is a woman now???
@@Chinchilla2310 what are you talking about?
It blows my mind that he is 93 years old. He could easily pass for 70 and he's still as sharp and witty as ever. Amazing.
He's right about Nichelle Nichols. Uhura was not only attractive, but damn sexy as well.
Currently watching her in Fallout on Prime.
@@Annapurna818 What? I'm cofused.
One only has to watch the "Mirror, Mirror" episode and her amazing abs to agree.
And classy too.
@@pajdovelicanstveni Anna sees an old black lady and thinks it's Nichelle Nichols. She's not on that show at all lol
Good God this man is amazing, witty, characterful...a guy you could have a beer with
Shatner's pretty cool, too.
Bill is amazingly lucid for 93 years old - and so is Shatner!
That was, without a doubt, one of the most profoundly important moments in television, entertainment, cultural, and racial history for our country and for humanity in general. William and Nichell should be applauded for taking a stand and not backing down to the stupidity of people who are truly blind. Let us not forget to mention the great Gene Roddenberry. A man truly ahead of his time. He saw the future and had the courage to show all of us that we are one people who come from the same place. We are all humans from a little blue ball that we call Earth.
The only problem is: after watching anything Gene made, I really thought mankind would emotionally advance from the 70s and onward. But man is still caveman bullshit
@ms_beastie Unfortunately, I really can't refute your reply. I agree that we as a whole still have a long way to go and a lot more work before we reach Gene's ideal civilization. Don't forget, he was in visioning Star Trek several hundred years from now. And after a third world War. I hope that he will be proven wrong about the war. And I harbor a great sadness that we won't be around to see his ideal civilization.
I wholeheartedly agree. Well said. 👍
Stupid take. You know, not every country is as RACIST as the US. And India is far worse with its caste system. Palestineans are Semites and Israelis treat them like garbage. You really are deeply and profoundly ignorant. And Im not surprised
@@waynej2608which says everything about you
Bill Shatner on Real Time was one of the best episodes ever! He was hilarious and gave Bill Maher a run for his money. They should go on the road together. Freaking hilarious!!
"Denny Crane" 😂😂😂😂😂
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂
Bill missed the point when Shatner refers to Uhura as a beautiful woman. Shatner saw her as a beautiful woman period, who just happens to be black. It’s no different as seeing another human being as a human being first.
My goodness he looks fantastic
Crazy how he’s over a decade older than Trump and Biden and he’s sharper than both of them.
Because they have highly demanding, tiring jobs and he can actually rest and take it easy?
Not trying to get political, but Trump has conferences all the time with people asking a variety of questions and he's fine. Biden on the hand, has scripted questions and scripted answers literally in his hand and he stumbles through them. You can't compare Trump and Biden. Biden is literally senile and Trump might be at the beginning stage of memory loss (might, but he seems fine)
@@chadhero37 I doubt that you ever listen to him other than snipets here and there, whatefer Fox shows you. Sometimes, he does have notes. Often he does not.
@@workingmamma5342 if you're trying to say that Trump and Biden are on the same level (as far as mental facilities go) then I don't know what to tell you. He is an absolute shell of himself. Go back to Obama years and watch videos of him speaking, it's two totally different people (not literally of course). Back when he was saying that anyone illegal should be shipped back and strong borders are the only way for a nation to survive. Also, if you want to get political, did you know that Donald Trump's policies are FAR more to the Left than Bill Clinton's? Also, he's further to the Left than Obama when it comes to gay marriage. Why people think he is a "hard core" righty is crazy (unless of course hard core means he doesn't want open borders. If that's the case, 90% of Americans agree Biden has been terrible with the border)
@@chadhero37 Trump makes absolutely no sense at all. He spews nothing but word vomit, and the people of MAGA are happy to slurp it up, even though it's full of bile and trash. Biden has to stand up there, and speak to complex issues and ideas, while all that spray-tanned mess does go on a stream of conscious rant about how, in his imagination, he's smarter than Einstein, more patriotic than G. Washington and hotter than Brad Pitt.
He is a International treasure, I am 57,wasnt even born when TOS started. Thank you sir and the crew of TOS for making my life sweeter
He was funnier than Maher
I think anyone is funnier then Maher.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the 2 Bill’s are currently the best double act out there 😂
The way I heard it they did one take with the kiss, with Shatner promising to do 9 more takes without the kiss. He deliberately whiffed the other 9 takes.
Yep, he kept making funny faces towards the camera in all the other takes
That moment inspired Bill for the rest of his life ☺️
Good. It ain't just me.
I fell in love with Captain Kirk when he used the two hand clenched together hammer hit in fights, especially the one with the Gorn.
Fat lot of good it did to the Gorn.
What a wonderful Canadian!!!!!!!
Shatner, man. He's got that same aura Betty White had in the last decade of her life. An old-time TV/film star, one of the precious few left that all Americans seem to agree on. When he passes the entire country will most definitely mourn, and mourn *hard* . I hope he lives to 123.
To me, William Shatner will always be Captain Kirk. Now and forever.
I'm lucky I got to be in the studio audience for Kimmel 3 weeks ago when he had Shatner as a guest!
Crazy how the first interracial kiss on TV took that long and what makes it even crazier is it had to be done on a sci-fi show because if it was on a primetime family show they would have rioted
Did we as black people need the first interracial kiss,just another form of bed wenching.
Star trek was on prime time and a family show
@@TentaclePentacle yes I meant that it happened on a sci-fi show not like show that was about the American family I think that's because it being a unrealistic event in space they could do it
@@chriscripplercruz1833 american families back then are not mixed, even now it's not all mixed.
Although it woulda been WAY more controversial if it were an interracial kiss between a black man and white woman (in outer space or otherwise)....
The best Shatner's looked in years! Kudos Cap'n!
Lost a bit of weight,better clothes.Bright eyed.After a lifetime of movies and tv, to survive Hollywood--to use a horse racing term--is a longshot.
The BEST 😂 Enjoyed tremendously✨
I'm not going to be able to hear any statement come out of Maher's mouth from this point on without thinking "Ooh look at you". 🤣🤣🤣
I can't believe that man is 93. He looks great, he's still upright and mobile, and sharp as a tack! Hope he's around to see life past 100. He'll always be THE ONLY REAL TREK CAPTAIN to me. The rest will only ever be stand-ins.
Shatner is clearly in the DGAF stage of his life and I’m here for it.
Shatner = National Treasure
He's Canadian
Hes sharper then most 60 year olds
He’s sharper than most Americans
I love how Shatner keeps Bill from taking himself seriously. May we all grow up to be this sharp & hilarious.
Shatner has one more Star Trek appearance in him , he look's and sound's great 😀😀
Maher is so serious and Denny Crane is yanking his chain.
William Shatner brought his A game.
THINGS HAVE CHANGED! No matter what the fear merchants say. Thanks, both you Bills.
Yeah, so now we live in a _'post-racial'_ world when we've just had our first 'Muslim Kenyan' POTUS, and where we have way more guns, so now minorities can get killed just by jogging thru a 'white' neighborhood...
Live Long and Prosper Capt. James Tiberius Kirk ...
For anyone who hasn’t watched Bill Maher’s podcast episode with him, it’s a must watch! So funny.
William Shatner is a monument of American Culture
Yes, you two should go on the road!
Now THAT’S a Star Trek!!
Saw him at Galaxycon in December. Still has the longest line of all the stars.
I watched Shatner through his 60s 70s and 80s. He looks better now at 93. I want what he's taking
There have been a few actors and actress that went into their 90s doing work or handling age good. Kirk Douglas, Ernest borgnine, Betty white.
William Shatner was just delightful!!!
Met him 2010 in a polish restaurant at Shepherd’s Bush in London. What a party... He was drinking wodka like a real polish guy 😂
Kirk does look amazing!!!! Here’s to all the time the final frontier gives you William Shatner and beyond.
Still say Canada missed an golden opportunity by not naming Shat "Governor General of Canada" back in the day. Just like Arnold when he was Governor of CA brought political awareness to people not necessarily inclined to think that way, I think he would have inspired a lot of Canadians. I could just picture the Shat presenting his creds to the Queen at Buckingham Palace too.
Bill...not only did he kiss a black woman, he also let an asian drive the ship! (Shatner on that roast was fricking hilarious).
Shatner troll level: Max infinite. We Love you, Uncle Bill!
Shatner has always been a class act. He had every reason to become an arrogant narcissist but his refusal to get swept away by his own self importance is remarkable. And he is hilarious!
My favorite Shatner moments to date😂
Just love this Man ❤️🙏🏿👍
What an entertaining and hilarious interview!
Nancy Sinatra kissed Sammy Davis Jr in 1967….On a TV Special. It was different because Kirk’s kiss was romantic..
Some of us did it way before Shatner. and Nancy and Sammy.
Didn't Raquel Welch kiss Jim brown, in a movie in the sixties?
@@brando7266Yes and around the exact same time. 1969. Only difference is that Raquel Welsh was Hispanic.
@@cactaceous half Hispanic,
It’s incredible how intimidated NBC’s Southern affiliates were back then.
Thx Bills
Kirk was and still is my hero
At 93, Cpt. Kirk is sharp as a phaser.
That's amazing Shatner didn't take the moment to congratulate himself for the cultural moment. Instead, he kept it lighthearted and funny. Most people would put themselves on a pedestal for doing anything that remotely seems moral. Respect to this man.
Adore this man.
William Shatner is just a very likeable person.
Captains log ...she loved it
😂
A real star date
Shatner looks great for 63. Amazing
63 was 3 decades ago. He's 93.
@@jondunmore4268 very funny
When he went "with great precision" i fied laughing. This is my ghost speaking. Cant believe i beat Shatner to becoming one!
Shatner for President -- checks all the boxes. 🤔
Including the from-another-country box
Canadian. No can do but he is amazing!
If I'm half as lucid as Bill is at 93 years old I'll be a lucky man. Live long and Prosper Mr. Shatner!
Here in the UK, that wonderful episode was removed from the season. We had to wait years to see it.
Wow, I really wonder why. It’s not like Britain had the same level of racial tensions that America did, I would imagine.
I heard there were a few episodes that weren't allowed on television across the pond until recently. Was it Miri (S1 E8), Patterns of Force (S2 E21), and The Empath (S3 E12)?
this man is a international and national treasure and living icon. long live bill maher!
I saw that episode when it aired, and I had no idea that it was a big deal until years later when the "news" media told me it was.
Love William Shatner!!❤
SHATNER IS A TREASURE. PERIOD.
Never into Star Trek, but loooove Shatner. An American treasure!
Canadian. He's from Montreal.
@@rikk319I ll have to recheck my maps. I thought Canada was part of North America.
@@BuddhatheBlackDog No need to be pedantic. People don't normally describe the continent where they're from, but the country, and America is a common enough term for the United States.
@@rikk319 you’ve heard of “African-American?” Or do you call it “South African-American. 😎 And you calling “pendantic”-quite hypocritical, as Shatner has been a resident of USA since 1951. So odd that you believe a person must be born in the United States to be valued. We are ALL from somewhere else. We are a nation of immigrants. At this point, it’s pedagogical, teaching you, not pendantic. Class dismissed
"tahts bad english" :) i love him
That's bad spelling.
Get 'im Bill!!! 😂
Get who?
Shatner national treasure???… He’s Canadian!!!! From Montreal🎉🎉🎉
Hey, isn't that Michael Meyers from Halloween?
The mask was an inside- out replica of Shatner's face from a mold.
And a poor one at that.... looked nothing like Shatner
Watch the full episode if you can Shatner is hilarious on fire the whole show! Had me LOL more than a few times
"she's a remarkably attractive lady." "That's not the issue." Wrong, the Captain is always right. He boldly went where no man had gone before.
Assuming I make it to 93, I hope I’m moving around half as well as William Shatner!! It’s good to be the Captain
I loved his character in Boston Legal! Denny Crane and Alan Shore were the best!!!!
and Star Trek, and TJ Hooker, and Rescue 911...
He was really good in Judgement at Nuremberg opposite Spencer Tracy and in the Twilight Zone--
Damn Captain Kirk and his clapbacks😂
James Tiberius Kirk will never die. Literally at this point I mean he looks and acts like he is 60.
Got love Bill Shatner.
Ooh, look at you! I puckered up my lips and... That's bad English! I am dying over here!
