5. The Muppets Tonight
Finding a Shatner appearance that doesn't reference Star Trek is almost as likely as finding a Tom Baker appearance that doesn't reference Doctor Who. Improbable but not impossible, and in this case it is one which parodies Shatner's other classic sci-fi role, from The Twilight Zone's Nightmare at 20,000 Feet. This time it is Miss Piggy, in the 90's TV Studio update of the thatrical The Muppet Show, who finds herself terrorised by the gremlin on the wing, and instead Shatner, sat next to her, attempts to reassure her. "I've been complaining about him for years, nobody does anything about it", he explains, but soon notices she is reading his novel Man O' War and begins to extol the virtues of the audio version. That would be the version read by, you guessed it, William Shatner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y97xaYmXKzs He also offers to sign it for her, even making it out to "babe", but Miss Piggy is, quite rightly, far too busy determining which is the bigger nuisance. The gremlin, or him.
