   Joseph Nebus to All   
   14 May 2007 - William Shatner, Eric Dane   
   15 May 07 01:51:15   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   	*Told* you the Shatner interview was going to be unbelievable.   
      
   William Shatner:   
   	- He was in a Celebrity Nascar race.  He went 160 miles an   
   hour on the straightaway.  He feared for his life, and veered to the   
   side the whole time.  Shatner details how impossible it all is.  You   
   only slow down 10 miles an hour for the curve, if you want to win.   
   Why not go 195?   
   	   
   	- They have a clip of him at 160 miles per hour going   
   ``Whoo.''  This sets off the audience.  That's why in racing circles   
   Shatner's called the old hoot owl.  Shatner doesn't go Whoo.  Yes, we   
   just saw it.  That's releasing the chi.  Shatner begins explaining chi   
   poorly, with comparisons to smashing bricks and boards, which most   
   people do by hitting.  They need an exorcism for the studio.   
   	   
   	- Conan releases energy and anxiety, the sissy way,   
   whimpering.  He forgot the manly whoo.  Shatner and Conan argue about   
   the hooting noises they make.   
   	   
   	- Conan needs hair products.  He says you can't get more in   
   there.  Shatner pets Conan, and hoots.   
      
   	In the commercial intro Conan's plastic head is affixed to the   
   neck of an Enterprise toy, and phasers shoot out his eyes.   
   	   
   	- Enough hooting; you're scaring Scooby and Shaggy.   
   	   
   	- Shatner's an equestrian type guy.  He breeds horses.  It's   
   hands-on breeding.  He has four breeding stallions, two of whom are   
   dead.  There's a lot of propping up to do.  They have frozen semen,   
   but are dead.   
   	   
   	- Shatner explains the process of artificial insemination,   
   which includes a mare in heat, pheromones, and a simulated female   
   horse made of leather and steel.  And it doesn't know the difference.   
   Conan finds this hard to believe.  It doesn't vibrate.  Who asked   
   about vibrating?   
      
   	- You have a long, gloved sleeve in your hand, with warm   
   water, and a plastic sort of condom.  Shatner pantomimes; Conan feels   
   he could have used a word, but the right word could be bleeped.  Conan   
   marches out.  Shatner accuses Conan of being from the midwest.  And   
   being a city boy.   
   	   
   	- The stallion ejaculates; now he has the word.  It's caught   
   in the condom, put in tubes, and frozen.  Shatner refuses to go into   
   impregnating the mare.   
   	   
      
   Eric Dane:   
   	- He has a nickname, McSteamy.  He didn't know; he didn't get   
   the whole scripts.  Nothing bad's come of it.  He didn't know how   
   revealing his towel scene would be; he doesn't think it was planned.   
   It was a new towel, hard to get it to stay.  Blame the towel.  It can   
   be very uncomfortable on a set when everyone else is fully clothed.   
   They had a lot of double-stick tape.   
   	   
   	- Us Magazine had his prom photo.  McGeeky was the label.   
   Conan can't figure why, but Dane doesn't have Geeky in mind.  Conan   
   shows him in his high school year.   
   	   
   	- His first TV job was Saved By The Bell.  He was Tad the Evil   
   Volleyball Player.  He doesn't know if they go together.  He was sent   
   in to rough up Screech.  The director was the only guy allowed to yell   
   cut, a lesson he had to learn; he would try yelling cut when he just   
   felt the scene wasn't working.  But he got to beat up Dustin Diamond.   
      
   	   
   	- He paid his cabbie $50 to be his best man at a seedy Las   
   Vegas wedding; they didn't even have an Elvis impersonator.  All they   
   had was an Elvis statue, looking like they ripped off a Bob's Big Boy.   
      
      
      
   MTV U Best Music On Campus Contest:   
   	- 1500 bands competed.  Winner, from Middlesex Community   
   College in Edison, New Jersey: Bamboo Shoots.  The song is probably   
   something about No Matter Where You Are or Where You Want To Go.
