To the mods, this is not a vlog entry, not AI, not controversial, etc., and AFAIK does not break any of the sub rules. That means there's no reason to delete it.

In fact, it's an extended interview produced by CBS and involves CBS correspondent Dave Malkoff, and features Bill Shatner. All details about it are given here, together with the link and quotes below.

The extended interview:

A description of the video:

> Sixty years after Star Trek first premiered, William Shatner sits down with CBS News correspondent Dave Malkoff for an extended conversation about the television series that changed both of their lives. > > Shatner looks back at Star Trek's unlikely beginning, its cancellation after three seasons, the syndication that helped turn it into a global phenomenon, and why its ideas still resonate six decades later.

The interview includes questions about Lucille Ball, the 1970s interview with Geraldo Rivera, and more.

One interesting point (see the 9-minute mark), known from interviews made more than a decade ago, and raised in the sub in the past: Shatner states that he has not seen almost all Trek movies and shows except for the movie that he directed.

He gave one reason in one early interview: actors are sometimes uncomfortable watching themselves on screen, and it also becomes difficult as they grow older and find it painful to see how they've lost their youthful look. (FWIW, most content doesn't feature him, but he also didn't watch them.)

In this interview, however, he gives another reason: "I don't know." He adds that "many of the guys" in TNG are his friends, and that they even spend time together, but he has never seen almost all Trek movies and shows. (Side note: in another early interview, I think Brent Spiner also said that he does not watch TNG.)

As mentioned by Malkoff at the intro to the interview, it appears that Shatner is more interested in Malkoff than in Trek. And the video cuts to a 1990s video of Malkoff when he was a teen showing that he's a big Trek fan.

There's more in the video.

For older fans, you might dismiss this and say that it's not worth watching. That's understandable, but there's no need for you to say it because I already did it for you. For younger fans, though, you might find several points insightful.

> Browsing through the screen names of famous movie and TV personalities of the last century came as a big surprise because I didn’t realize many had foreign ancestry: Dorothy Jones was “Nida Blanca,” Florence Dannon was “Rosa Rosal,” Sigrid von Giese was “Paraluman” (Butterfly), Alice Lake was “Anita Linda,” and Ronald Kookooritchkin was “Ronald Remy.” Comedians carried only one name, usually a nickname: Rodolfo Vera Quizon was “Dolphy,” Alfonso Discher Tagle was “Panchito,” Augusto Pangan was “Chiquito,” Salvador Tampac was “Cachupoy,” Amparo Custodio Mora was “Chichay,” Canuto Francia was “Canuplin,” Pablito “Pablo” Sarmiento was “Babalu,” Mariano Contreras was “Pugo,” Andres Solomon was “Tugo,” and Perfecto Piñon was “Tugak” on screen, but in paintings, was “Peck Piñon.” Some screen names had repeating syllables like: Serafin Gabriel, who became “Apeng Daldal”; Adelaida Fernando, who became “Dely Atay-atayan”; and Pastora Mateo, who became “Patsy Patsotsay” or plain “Patsy.” In days when Pinoys still understood some Spanish, “Doro de los Ojos” described the comedian’s large eyes. Sometimes it was the opposite. Long before Cherie Gil or Armida Siguion-Reyna became the kontrabida of note, there was Remy Limson, hated on-screen as “Bella Flores”—definitely not the “beautiful flowers” of her screen name.
