Despite his rather lackluster performance in this improv? skit, Alexander is about the only actor I could accept as the fake Kirk. :)

The famous story is that JA got into acting school by doing an impression of Shat believing they wouldn’t know and think him an accomplished actor. They then congratulated him for doing a great Shat impression and he was accepted.

BTW Where can I see the solo Takei skit?

Humour is a difficult concept. Apparently.

It’s an Australian Concept, the show was sold to the US after 3 seasons here. Pretty much the same, same music, set etc… Has been a huge hit here.. i really like the “all in” section where all guests from the night get thrown in to one sketch together.

JA was quite well, he does a good Shatner rip off :)

Wow the Star Trek XI sets never looked better LOL (J/K) They were both enjoyable to watch. It looks like they are having fun. When is this show on anyway?

Tom Greene is the unfunniest person ever.

Bah, silly Americans, this is not how to do “Thank God You’re Here” (in case you don’t know, Thank God You’re Here is an original Australian show imported into a US version, such as this). The objective is to put comedians and actors and such into situations that they have very little knowledge about or are unware about the subject (such as putting Jason Alexander in a spacesuit uniform, was not the right choice to go, whilst putting a comedian in say a normal everyday business suit, would probably give them some clues, but still leave lots of potential situations they might end up in).

Check out some of the australian episode clips on youtube.

As amusing as this was, this appearance on the same show by George Takei (whom we all know as Sulu, of course) was funnier, I felt:

Watch it all the way through.

This was kind of weak – the rest of the cast knows where the sketch is going and steers it along. All the guest does is try to fit in and say something funny. There’s not that sense you get from regular improv that the sketch could go anywhere.
