Jon Gets Grilled
Good morning, everyone! I hope y’all enjoyed the new episode, I know I did. So, has anyone ever heard of the show Shatner’s Raw Nerve? If you haven’t, here’s the scoop: It’s a talk show hosted by the former Star Trek actor. In it, he interviews celebrities (sometimes good friends of his) in a very casual setting. They’re usually sitting in chairs facing each other. The whole point behind the show is he asks about things the usual late night people wouldn’t and gets down deep into the psyche of the stars. A lot of the time, he’ll get them to admit to something or other and you can just tell they’re sitting there thinking “I can’t believe he just got me to say that!”
Last night, he interviewed his friend John Voight. (Ya know, Jonas Hodges from the 2-hour movie. He’s supposed to be making an appearance or two during the season as well) It was a pretty good interview. They spent the hour talking about everything from his movies to his divorces to current events. At one point, John cracked me up with his response to Shatner drilling him about gas prices and other similar issues. He seemed to get into it for a second, but finally just threw up his hands and jokingly (I think!) begged Shatner to back off those questions because ‟I’m just an actor‟. I thought that was pretty cool for him to actually say something like that. There are many actors out there who are only too happy to go on about issues all the time, whether they know a lot about them or not. Anyway… it was a great interview and John seemed to have a good time doing it. If you wanna catch it for yourself, check out the repeat tonight at 11:30 PM. You can also see full episodes on the bio website.
