As Emily Litella used to say, “Never mind.” My email to The Late Show just came back – mailbox full. If someone wants to call them or something, I’m still taking credit for the idea it if it’s mentioned.

This doesn’t really fit here (won’t really fit anywhere), but I thought I would mention Bob Sarlatte will be a guest on Letterman next week. Sarlatte played the waiter in Trek IV (”Who gets the bad news?”)

I emailed the show (cbsmailbag@aol.com) and asked them if Dave could mention it and ask him a question about his appearance in the film. I also warned them I would mention this on a Trek website and they might get flooded with mail re Sarlatte. It’s not that big of a deal, but it would be cool if it was mentioned. Sarlatte is pretty funny, and I’m sure he has some anecdote about his brief appearance with Shatner he could mention. If you are so inclined, send them a mail.

It’s good to see Shatner get another nod this year. This is arguably the best period of his career; he stars in an Emmy-winning role on a well-written, well-performed TV show, and he has become a cultural icon. I hope he is in the new movie, because no matter what anyone has said (even Shatner himself), we still do not know with any certainty that he has been intentionally excluded from it.

I think it’s great that “the Shat” is again nominated for his role on Boston Legal. Denny Crane is arguably his best role since playing Capt. Kirk in TOS.

But I’m actually quite surprised that the “Shatner Roast” was nominated for anything! I didn’t find the roast to be all that funny, and many of the jokes were quite vulgar and tasteless IMHO. And what was with all those gay “Sulu jokes”? Who was being roasted, Shatner or Takei??

It’s important to get Greg Grunberg in there. But hell, let’s not bring in the biggest Trek icon ever. Write him out and lie about it.

Congrats to the BsG guys for getting a writing nomination. That’s no easy feat for a cable sci-fi series.
