00:27:59.177 --> 00:27:59.302
YOU.

VERSION OF "STAR TREK."

00:28:05.100 --> 00:28:07.811
BUT WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO

00:28:07.811 --> 00:28:08.520
ACTUALLY WORK WITH HIM ON A

00:28:08.520 --> 00:28:13.483
"STAR TREK" SHOW.

00:28:13.483 --> 00:28:13.650
LET'S START --

00:28:13.650 --> 00:28:14.567
>> NOT ME.

00:28:14.567 --> 00:28:16.194
>> YOU WORKED ON "STAR TREK."

00:28:16.194 --> 00:28:17.737
YOU WORKED ON "NEXT GENERATION."

00:28:17.737 --> 00:28:18.363
>> THAT'S TRUE.

00:28:18.363 --> 00:28:19.531
I WAS A P.A.

00:28:19.531 --> 00:28:19.739
>> YOU WERE.

00:28:19.739 --> 00:28:23.952
>> AND I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO,

00:28:23.952 --> 00:28:24.994
WHILE I WAS, DIDN'T HAVE TO

00:28:24.994 --> 00:28:26.162
ANSWER TO THE BOSS, BUT AT HOME,

00:28:26.162 --> 00:28:26.871
I DID.

00:28:26.871 --> 00:28:29.165
>> IT WAS OTHER WAY AROUND FOR

00:28:29.165 --> 00:28:32.001
ME.

00:28:32.001 --> 00:28:35.130
I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR

00:28:35.130 --> 00:28:36.631
FIRST MEETING WITH GENE

00:28:36.631 --> 00:28:36.798
RODDENBERRY.

00:28:36.798 --> 00:28:37.132
WE'RE GOING TO START WITH

00:28:37.132 --> 00:28:41.177
GEORGE.

00:28:41.177 --> 00:28:46.057
>> WELL, IT WAS NOT A VERY

00:28:46.057 --> 00:28:47.058
PROPITIOUS BEGINNING.

00:28:47.058 --> 00:28:49.519
WHEN I -- WHEN MY AGENT CALLED

00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:50.895
TO TELL ME THAT I HAD THIS

00:28:50.895 --> 00:28:56.651
INTERVIEW SET UP, I WAS TAKING A

00:28:56.651 --> 00:29:00.071
SHOWER, AND WITH THE SOUND OF

00:29:00.071 --> 00:29:01.531
THE SHOWER AND I VOCALIZE IN THE

00:29:01.531 --> 00:29:03.700
SHOWER, I DIDN'T HEAR THE PHONE

00:29:03.700 --> 00:29:06.703
RINGING, BUT MY AGENT IS VERY

00:29:06.703 --> 00:29:06.828
PERSISTENT.

00:29:06.828 --> 00:29:10.331
HE KNOWS HOW I AM, SO HE DIDN'T

00:29:10.331 --> 00:29:12.208
STOP RINGING, AND FINALLY, I

00:29:12.208 --> 00:29:15.420
THOUGHT I HEARD THE TELEPHONE

00:29:15.420 --> 00:29:18.673
RINGING, SO I GOT OUT AND I

00:29:18.673 --> 00:29:20.759
DIDN'T GRAB A TOWEL, I JUST CAME

00:29:20.759 --> 00:29:22.802
OUT AS I WAS, DRIPPING, AND

00:29:22.802 --> 00:29:25.472
WALKED OVER TO THE PHONE AND MY

00:29:25.472 --> 00:29:27.474
AGENT TOLD ME HE HAD AN

00:29:27.474 --> 00:29:31.102
INTERVIEW FOR ME OUT AT DESILU,

00:29:31.102 --> 00:29:33.021
AND I SCRIBBLED DOWN ALL THE

00:29:33.021 --> 00:29:36.274
INFORMATION AND HIS NAME.

00:29:36.274 --> 00:29:39.027
WATER WAS DRIPPING ON THAT

00:29:39.027 --> 00:29:41.154
SHEET, SO I WENT BACK AND

00:29:41.154 --> 00:29:44.365
FINISHED THE SHOWER, AND I

00:29:44.365 --> 00:29:48.119
DIDN'T LOOK AT THE NOTES, BUT

00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:49.412
WHEN THE MORNING OF THE

00:29:49.412 --> 00:29:53.458
INTERVIEW CAME, I TORE IT OFF

00:29:53.458 --> 00:29:58.505
AND WENT TO DESILU, AND I GOT

00:29:58.505 --> 00:30:02.342
THE BUNGALOW NUMBER RIGHT BUT

00:30:02.342 --> 00:30:04.469
THE NAME WAS KIND OF SMEARED,

00:30:04.469 --> 00:30:06.262
AND SO WHEN I WALKED IN, THERE

00:30:06.262 --> 00:30:11.726
WAS A RECEPTIONIST THERE, THE

00:30:11.726 --> 00:30:13.019
DESK HAD DC FONTANA ON IT.

00:30:13.019 --> 00:30:14.521
SHE WAS HIS RECEPTIONIST AT THAT

00:30:14.521 --> 00:30:16.272
TIME.

00:30:16.272 --> 00:30:17.774
>> WOW, I DID NOT KNOW THAT.

00:30:17.774 --> 00:30:19.567
>> WELL, GENE BELIEVES IN UPWARD

00:30:19.567 --> 00:30:21.152
MOBILITY FOR WOMEN AS WELL.

00:30:21.152 --> 00:30:24.948
>> YES, HE DOES.

00:30:24.948 --> 00:30:27.033
>> AND I SAID, GEORGE TAKEI TO

00:30:27.033 --> 00:30:30.829
MEET MR. ROSENBERRY.

00:30:30.829 --> 00:30:30.995
>> THAT'S BETTER THAN SOME NAMES

00:30:30.995 --> 00:30:36.668
I'VE BEEN CALLED.

00:30:36.668 --> 00:30:39.754
>> AND SHE CORRECTED ME, AND

00:30:39.754 --> 00:30:41.214
THAT WAS REALLY -- I MEAN, I WAS

00:30:41.214 --> 00:30:44.968
PRETTY NERVOUS AS IT WAS, BUT TO

00:30:44.968 --> 00:30:46.427
LOUSE UP THE PRONUNCIATION OF

00:30:46.427 --> 00:30:47.387
THE INTERVIEWER'S NAME WAS A BAD

00:30:47.387 --> 00:30:50.723
START.

00:30:50.723 --> 00:30:56.688
SHE ASKED ME TO WAIT, AND THE

00:30:56.688 --> 00:30:58.439
MESSAGE BOX SAID, HE'S READY FOR

00:30:58.439 --> 00:30:59.065
ME.

00:30:59.065 --> 00:31:01.484
I WALKED IN, AND HE WAS SEATED

00:31:01.484 --> 00:31:04.654
BEHIND A BIG DESK, CAME AROUND

00:31:04.654 --> 00:31:08.366
FROM IT, AND HE SAID -- HE CAME

00:31:08.366 --> 00:31:11.119
UP TO ME AND SAID, SO, YOU'RE

00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:12.745
THE PERSON THAT I'M GOING TO BE

00:31:12.745 --> 00:31:15.665
TALKING TO AND I SAID, YES,

00:31:15.665 --> 00:31:16.249
MR. RODDENBERRY.

00:31:16.249 --> 00:31:20.461
I HAD THE PRONUNCIATION RIGHT.

00:31:20.461 --> 00:31:21.462
AND YOU ARE GEORGE TAKEI?

00:31:21.462 --> 00:31:25.133
AND I SAID, WELL -- I HAD TO

00:31:25.133 --> 00:31:26.134
FESS UP.

00:31:26.134 --> 00:31:27.760
I MISPRONOUNCED YOUR NAME AND

00:31:27.760 --> 00:31:29.929
YOU'RE NOW MISPRONOUNCING MY

00:31:29.929 --> 00:31:30.430
NAME.

00:31:30.430 --> 00:31:34.100
I SAID, IT'S PRONOUNCED TAKEI.

00:31:34.100 --> 00:31:37.020
HOWEVER, I DON'T OBJECT TO THE

00:31:37.020 --> 00:31:38.313
MISPRONUNCIATION BECAUSE TAKAI

00:31:38.313 --> 00:31:44.193
IN JAPANESE MEANS, EXPENSIVE.

00:31:44.193 --> 00:31:45.904
GENE SAID, OH MY GOODNESS.

00:31:45.904 --> 00:31:47.780
A PRODUCER DOESN'T LIKE TO CALL

00:31:47.780 --> 00:31:50.825
AN ACTOR EXPENSIVE.

00:31:50.825 --> 00:31:52.285
>> SO HE GOT YOUR NAME RIGHT.

00:31:52.285 --> 00:31:54.329
>> HE GOT MY NAME RIGHT AND I

00:31:54.329 --> 00:31:58.291
TOLD HIM, TAKEI RHYMES WITH OKAY

00:31:58.291 --> 00:32:00.585
TO HELP HIM MEMORIZE AND HE

00:32:00.585 --> 00:32:03.171
SAYS, YOU KNOW, TAKEI IS

00:32:03.171 --> 00:32:05.715
DEFINITELY OKAY COMPARED TO

00:32:05.715 --> 00:32:07.300
TAKAI, AND I TOLD HIM, WELL,

00:32:07.300 --> 00:32:10.970
TAKEI DOESN'T MEAN CHEAP EITHER.

00:32:10.970 --> 00:32:13.848
>> LOVE THAT, LOVE THAT.

00:32:13.848 --> 00:32:18.519
>> GATES?

00:32:18.519 --> 00:32:20.271
>> SO, THE FIRST TIME -- YOU

00:32:20.271 --> 00:32:22.065
KNOW, I HAD NEVER SEEN THE FIRST

00:32:22.065 --> 00:32:24.067
SERIES AND SO WHEN I CAME OUT

00:32:24.067 --> 00:32:25.443
FOR AN AUDITION FOR SOMETHING

00:32:25.443 --> 00:32:27.403
ELSE AND ON THE WAY TO THE

00:32:27.403 --> 00:32:29.197
AIRPORT, MY AGENT, WHO WAS A

00:32:29.197 --> 00:32:30.198
HUGE "TREK" FAN SAID, YOU'VE GOT

00:32:30.198 --> 00:32:30.782
TO GO.

00:32:30.782 --> 00:32:31.950
THEY'RE HAVING A NEW SERIES, OH

00:32:31.950 --> 00:32:33.034
MY GOD.

00:32:33.034 --> 00:32:33.660
SO, I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER, BUT

00:32:33.660 --> 00:32:39.248
GENE WAS IN THE ROOM.

00:32:39.248 --> 00:32:41.542
AND YOU KNOW, LATER, WHEN I

00:32:41.542 --> 00:32:43.336
REALLY WASN'T SURE I WAS GOING

00:32:43.336 --> 00:32:44.504
TO, YOU KNOW, I HAD SAID, I

00:32:44.504 --> 00:32:46.965
DON'T THINK I WANT TO DO THAT.

00:32:46.965 --> 00:32:48.091
I DON'T THINK I WANT TO -- I

00:32:48.091 --> 00:32:49.300
WANT TO DO A PLAY INSTEAD.

00:32:49.300 --> 00:32:51.052
I'M DOING THE PLAY AND I GET A

00:32:51.052 --> 00:32:52.887
CALL ONE NIGHT AFTER THE PLAY,

00:32:52.887 --> 00:32:55.723
LATE AT NIGHT, AND SORRY, CLOSE

00:32:55.723 --> 00:32:59.727
YOUR EYES, ROD, BUT GENE SAYS,

00:32:59.727 --> 00:33:00.979
HI, IS THIS McFADDEN?

00:33:00.979 --> 00:33:01.729
I SAID, YES.

00:33:01.729 --> 00:33:04.816
HE SAID, WELL, LISTEN, I THINK

00:33:04.816 --> 00:33:06.067
YOU SHOULD DO THIS SHOW.

00:33:06.067 --> 00:33:09.737
I'M SITTING IN THE JACUZZI

00:33:09.737 --> 00:33:09.988
OUTDOORS.

00:33:09.988 --> 00:33:12.031
I'M HERE WITH MY WIFE.

00:33:12.031 --> 00:33:14.283
AND WE ARE HAVING SOME MARTINIS,

00:33:14.283 --> 00:33:16.619
AND WE'RE LOOKING UP AT THE

00:33:16.619 --> 00:33:17.829
STARS AND IT'S JUST GREAT.

00:33:17.829 --> 00:33:19.038
HE SAID, IT'S A GREAT LIFE.

00:33:19.038 --> 00:33:24.919
I THINK YOU SHOULD DO THE SHOW.

00:33:24.919 --> 00:33:25.795
AND I SAID, OKAY.

00:33:25.795 --> 00:33:27.672
WHAT'S YOUR ADDRESS?

00:33:27.672 --> 00:33:28.923
NO, I DIDN'T SAY THAT.

00:33:28.923 --> 00:33:29.632
>> BE RIGHT OVER.

00:33:29.632 --> 00:33:30.967
>> I'LL BE RIGHT OVER.

00:33:30.967 --> 00:33:32.760
NO, BUT THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME

00:33:32.760 --> 00:33:35.096
I ACTUALLY, LIKE, OH THIS WAS

00:33:35.096 --> 00:33:35.596
THE BOSS-BOSS, AND SO THAT WAS

00:33:35.596 --> 00:33:38.933
KIND OF COOL.

00:33:38.933 --> 00:33:40.143
AND FUNNY.

00:33:40.143 --> 00:33:41.644
BUT THAT WAS MY FIRST, REALLY,

00:33:41.644 --> 00:33:44.147
KIND OF MOMENT WITH GENE.

00:33:44.147 --> 00:33:46.232
>> THERE'S NOTHING LIKE COMING

00:33:46.232 --> 00:33:49.193
ACROSS SOME HOME PHOTOS THAT

00:33:49.193 --> 00:33:52.280
SUPPORT THINGS LIKE THAT, THINGS

00:33:52.280 --> 00:33:52.572
THAT I HAVE SEEN ONCE AND I WILL

00:33:52.572 --> 00:33:58.369
ONLY LOOK AT THEM ONCE.

00:33:58.369 --> 00:34:01.497
>> LeVAR, IF I REMEMBER IT

00:34:01.497 --> 00:34:03.583
CORRECTLY, YOU AND I WERE THE

00:34:03.583 --> 00:34:04.792
TWO "NEXT GENERATION" CAST

00:34:04.792 --> 00:34:06.085
MEMBERS WHO LEGIT LOVED "STAR

00:34:06.085 --> 00:34:06.669
TREK."

00:34:06.669 --> 00:34:08.588
LIKE, NOBODY ELSE WAS INTO IT

00:34:08.588 --> 00:34:10.548
THE WAY WE WERE.

00:34:10.548 --> 00:34:11.799
>> RIGHT.

00:34:11.799 --> 00:34:13.885
>> WHAT -- WAS YOUR FIRST

00:34:13.885 --> 00:34:15.094
MEETING, LIKE, MY FIRST MEETING,

00:34:15.094 --> 00:34:17.263
I WAS JUST -- I COULDN'T.

00:34:17.263 --> 00:34:19.098
I JUST FROZE UP.

00:34:19.098 --> 00:34:19.724
I BLUE SCREENED.

00:34:19.724 --> 00:34:21.726
>> MY FIRST MEETING WITH GENE IS

00:34:21.726 --> 00:34:22.351
A BLANK.

00:34:22.351 --> 00:34:26.898
IT'S A BLUR BECAUSE IT WAS THE

00:34:26.898 --> 00:34:27.065
GREAT BIRD OF THE GALAXY.

00:34:27.065 --> 00:34:30.693
IT WAS GENE RODDENBERRY.

00:34:30.693 --> 00:34:33.738
BUT MY INTRODUCTION TO GENE CAME

00:34:33.738 --> 00:34:35.364
THROUGH BOB JUSTMAN.

00:34:35.364 --> 00:34:36.157
>> OH.

00:34:36.157 --> 00:34:38.201
>> ROBERT H. JUSTMAN, THE

00:34:38.201 --> 00:34:40.453
CREDITS OF THE ORIGINAL SERIES

00:34:40.453 --> 00:34:43.998
WHEN I DID A TV MOVIE IN THE

00:34:43.998 --> 00:34:46.834
EARLY '80s, I THINK IT WAS.

00:34:46.834 --> 00:34:48.086
IT WAS A VERY BAD TV MOVIE

00:34:48.086 --> 00:34:49.087
CALLED "EMERGENCY."

00:34:49.087 --> 00:34:51.631
BUT IT WAS -- IT HAD A LOT OF

00:34:51.631 --> 00:34:55.051
GREAT ACTORS IN IT, GARY

00:34:55.051 --> 00:34:57.428
LOCKWOOD, GARY FRANK, PENNY

00:34:57.428 --> 00:34:59.722
PIESER, IT WAS AN AMAZING CAST.

00:34:59.722 --> 00:35:01.474
AND BOB JUSTMAN WAS THE

00:35:01.474 --> 00:35:03.684
PRODUCER, SO I WOULD PUMP HIM

00:35:03.684 --> 00:35:04.852
FOR INFORMATION, STORIES ABOUT

00:35:04.852 --> 00:35:06.020
"STAR TREK" ALL THE TIME ON THE

00:35:06.020 --> 00:35:06.854
SET.

00:35:06.854 --> 00:35:07.605
>> OH, WOW.

00:35:07.605 --> 00:35:09.315
>> AND ONE DAY, I GOT A CALL

00:35:09.315 --> 00:35:12.944
FROM BOB JUSTMAN SAYING, I KNOW

00:35:12.944 --> 00:35:13.861
YOU'VE NEVER DONE A TELEVISION

00:35:13.861 --> 00:35:15.029
SERIES BEFORE BUT WE'RE DOING A

00:35:15.029 --> 00:35:16.155
NEW VERSION OF "STAR TREK," ARE

00:35:16.155 --> 00:35:17.281
YOU INTERESTED?

00:35:17.281 --> 00:35:19.200
AND I WAS -- WHO DO I NEED TO

00:35:19.200 --> 00:35:21.285
KILL?

00:35:21.285 --> 00:35:27.250
TO BE A PART OF THIS.

00:35:27.250 --> 00:35:29.585
AND BECOMING A MEMBER OF THIS

00:35:29.585 --> 00:35:31.712
STORYTELLING JUGGERNAUT HAS BEEN

00:35:31.712 --> 00:35:32.964
THE SURPRISE OF MY LIFE.

00:35:32.964 --> 00:35:33.798
>> YEAH.

00:35:33.798 --> 00:35:35.967
>> AND ONE OF THE BEST GIFTS

00:35:35.967 --> 00:35:37.593
I'VE EVER BEEN GIVEN.

00:35:37.593 --> 00:35:39.846
>> YEAH.

00:35:39.846 --> 00:35:44.934
>> AMEN TO THAT.

00:35:44.934 --> 00:35:46.727
>> ROD, WHEN "NEXT GENERATION"

00:35:46.727 --> 00:35:47.895
STARTED, YOU WERE WORKING AS A

00:35:47.895 --> 00:35:49.730
P.A. ON THE SET THAT SUMMER IN

00:35:49.730 --> 00:35:52.024
THE FIRST SEASON AND I WAS SO

00:35:52.024 --> 00:35:53.067
INCREDIBLY EXCITED THAT YOU WERE

00:35:53.067 --> 00:35:55.820
THERE BECAUSE YOU'RE MY AGE.

00:35:55.820 --> 00:35:55.862
WE LIKE A LOT OF THE SAME

00:35:55.862 --> 00:35:59.991
THINGS.

00:35:59.991 --> 00:36:01.534
WHEN "NEXT GENERATION" WAS SORT

00:36:01.534 --> 00:36:04.328
OF SPINNING UP AND YOUR DAD WAS,

00:36:04.328 --> 00:36:06.122
LIKE, KIND OF GETTING IT GOING,

00:36:06.122 --> 00:36:07.498
DO YOU HAVE ANY MEMORY OF --

00:36:07.498 --> 00:36:08.916
WERE YOU, LIKE, AROUND FOR ALL

00:36:08.916 --> 00:36:09.750
THAT STUFF?

00:36:09.750 --> 00:36:11.919
>> I WASN'T AROUND.

00:36:11.919 --> 00:36:12.753
I REMEMBER THEM TALKING ABOUT --

00:36:12.753 --> 00:36:13.963
AND I DON'T KNOW IF I'VE GOT MY

00:36:13.963 --> 00:36:15.464
TIMING OFTEN, BUT THEY TALKED

00:36:15.464 --> 00:36:16.799
ABOUT A CHARACTER NAMED DATA AND

00:36:16.799 --> 00:36:18.217
I MEAN, I WAS SO LITTLE, GUYS,

00:36:18.217 --> 00:36:19.218
YOU GOT TO UNDERSTAND.

00:36:19.218 --> 00:36:22.221
I WAS 12, 13, AND I WAS JUST

00:36:22.221 --> 00:36:23.806
INTO MY OWN THING, BUT I DID

00:36:23.806 --> 00:36:24.724
KNOW ABOUT IT.

00:36:24.724 --> 00:36:26.475
I REMEMBER MY MOTHER CALLING THE

00:36:26.475 --> 00:36:27.560
NEW "ENTERPRISE" THAT IT LOOKED

00:36:27.560 --> 00:36:29.645
LIKE A PREGNANT DUCK, WHICH I'M

00:36:29.645 --> 00:36:31.731
NOT REALLY SURE HOW THAT WORKS.

00:36:31.731 --> 00:36:33.566
I REMEMBER THEY MENTIONED THE

00:36:33.566 --> 00:36:35.359
KID FROM "STAND BY ME,".

00:36:35.359 --> 00:36:36.611
>> OH, HE'S ON "LOWER DECKS."

00:36:36.611 --> 00:36:41.365
>> OH, YEAH.

00:36:41.365 --> 00:36:44.452
HE IS ON -- THAT'S RIGHT, HE IS.

00:36:44.452 --> 00:36:45.995
AND THEN I DIDN'T HEAR MUCH

00:36:45.995 --> 00:36:46.495
ABOUT IT.

00:36:46.495 --> 00:36:49.165
BUT I DO REMEMBER THAT I DID

00:36:49.165 --> 00:36:50.291
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK AS

00:36:50.291 --> 00:36:52.627
A P.A. ON THE FIRST SEASON

00:36:52.627 --> 00:36:54.962
OF "TNG" AND I SPENT MOST OF MY

00:36:54.962 --> 00:36:55.963
TIME DELIVERING COFFEE AND

00:36:55.963 --> 00:36:56.380
SCRIPTS.

00:36:56.380 --> 00:36:58.132
>> WHICH IS WHAT PAs DO.

00:36:58.132 --> 00:36:58.799
>> IT WAS FUN, YEAH.

00:36:58.799 --> 00:37:00.009
>> I'M GOING TO TELL YOU VERY

00:37:00.009 --> 00:37:00.468
BRIEFLY.

00:37:00.468 --> 00:37:02.887
THIS ISN'T IN THE SCRIPT.

00:37:02.887 --> 00:37:04.597
I'M GOING TO TELL YOU MY MEETING

00:37:04.597 --> 00:37:06.807
WITH GENE.

00:37:06.807 --> 00:37:06.933
IT WAS A CALLBACK

00:37:06.933 --> 00:37:08.059
FOR "GENERATION" AND IT WAS ONE

00:37:08.059 --> 00:37:09.727
OF THE LAST CALLBACKS AND THEY

00:37:09.727 --> 00:37:11.896
TOLD ME, YOU'RE GOING TO BE

00:37:11.896 --> 00:37:13.314
READING FOR GENE RODDENBERRY,

00:37:13.314 --> 00:37:13.648
AND THAT MEANT TO ME WHAT IT

00:37:13.648 --> 00:37:17.235
MEANT TO YOU.

00:37:17.235 --> 00:37:19.528
AND I WENT IN AND GAVE THE WORST

00:37:19.528 --> 00:37:24.951
AUDITION I'VE EVER GIVEN --

00:37:24.951 --> 00:37:27.161
WE'VE ALL BEEN TO CONVENTIONS,

00:37:27.161 --> 00:37:29.163
WE PLAN WHAT WE'RE GOING TO SAY

00:37:29.163 --> 00:37:29.997
TO THE PERSON IN LINE WE'RE

00:37:29.997 --> 00:37:31.540
GOING TO MEET AND WE GO UP THERE

00:37:31.540 --> 00:37:33.292
AND GO, DUH.

00:37:33.292 --> 00:37:34.043
IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

00:37:34.043 --> 00:37:34.418
I KNOW.

00:37:34.418 --> 00:37:36.254
I'M AT THAT TABLE.

00:37:36.254 --> 00:37:37.630
IT HAPPENS TO ME A LOT.

00:37:37.630 --> 00:37:40.299
AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO ME

00:37:40.299 --> 00:37:40.800
AND I LEFT AND I WAS LIKE, I

00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:41.175
BLEW IT.

00:37:41.175 --> 00:37:42.301
I'M NEVER GOING TO BE ON "STAR

00:37:42.301 --> 00:37:44.428
TREK," AND SOMEONE, EITHER JUDY

00:37:44.428 --> 00:37:46.222
OR RON, CALLED MY AGENT AND

00:37:46.222 --> 00:37:47.598
SAID, LISTEN, WE THINK HE CAN BE

00:37:47.598 --> 00:37:48.432
A LITTLE BETTER.

00:37:48.432 --> 00:37:50.559
HE JUST WAS OFF.

00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:52.728
AND THEY GAVE ME A SECOND CHANCE

00:37:52.728 --> 00:37:53.562
AND IN THE ENTERTAINMENT

00:37:53.562 --> 00:37:55.064
INDUSTRY, YOU NEVER GET A SECOND

00:37:55.064 --> 00:37:55.314
CHANCE.

00:37:55.314 --> 00:37:56.440
AND I WENT IN A SECOND TIME AND

00:37:56.440 --> 00:37:58.567
DIDN'T SUCK.

00:37:58.567 --> 00:37:58.901
AND THAT WAS HOW I -- THAT WAS

00:37:58.901 --> 00:38:04.282
HOW I GOT THE JOB.

00:38:04.282 --> 00:38:06.242
THIS QUESTION IS FOR EVERYONE.

00:38:06.242 --> 00:38:07.201
WITH "STAR TREK," THIS IS THE

00:38:07.201 --> 00:38:10.705
INDELIBLE QUESTION.

00:38:10.705 --> 00:38:12.707
"STAR TREK" HAS PERSEVERED AND

00:38:12.707 --> 00:38:15.668
REMAINED IN THE CULTURAL

00:38:15.668 --> 00:38:18.963
CONSCIOUSNESS FOR 55 YEARS.

00:38:18.963 --> 00:38:23.801
I KNOW, RIGHT?

00:38:23.801 --> 00:38:25.928
WHY DO YOU BELIEVE GENE

00:38:25.928 --> 00:38:29.056
RODDENBERRY'S LEGACY, HIS

00:38:29.056 --> 00:38:31.600
PHILOSOPHY, ENDURES 55 YEARS

00:38:31.600 --> 00:38:35.229
LATER AND ACROSS 10 SERIES?

00:38:35.229 --> 00:38:37.857
LET'S START WITH LeVAR, BECAUSE

00:38:37.857 --> 00:38:39.734
ROD HAS AN "I'M THINKING" LOOK

00:38:39.734 --> 00:38:40.901
ON HIS FACE.

00:38:40.901 --> 00:38:41.777
>> I THINK IT HAS EVERYTHING TO

00:38:41.777 --> 00:38:44.113
DO WITH THE STORYTELLING, THE

00:38:44.113 --> 00:38:49.201
COMPELLING CHARACTERS, AND THE

00:38:49.201 --> 00:38:53.998
IDEA THAT WE ARE, AS A SPECIES,

00:38:53.998 --> 00:38:56.417
REALLY IN OUR INFANCY.

00:38:56.417 --> 00:38:56.667
RIGHT?

00:38:56.667 --> 00:38:58.502
>> YEAH.

00:38:58.502 --> 00:39:00.087
>> AND I THINK THAT THE -- PART

00:39:00.087 --> 00:39:03.466
OF THE ENDURING NATURE OF "TREK"

00:39:03.466 --> 00:39:06.719
IS THAT IN POPULAR CULTURE, IT

00:39:06.719 --> 00:39:10.348
HAS BEEN, IS, AND CONTINUES TO

00:39:10.348 --> 00:39:14.602
BE AN INCREDIBLY POSITIVE VIEW

00:39:14.602 --> 00:39:16.896
OF OUR FUTURE SELVES IN A WORLD

00:39:16.896 --> 00:39:19.940
THAT GETS MORE DYSTOPIAN BY THE

00:39:19.940 --> 00:39:20.316
DAY.

00:39:20.316 --> 00:39:21.150
THE VALUE OF "TREK" INCREASES.

00:39:21.150 --> 00:39:22.193
>> YEAH.

00:39:22.193 --> 00:39:23.527
>> EXPONENTIALLY.

00:39:23.527 --> 00:39:24.111
EVERY YEAR.

00:39:24.111 --> 00:39:27.990
>> YEAH.

00:39:27.990 --> 00:39:30.076
[ APPLAUSE ]

00:39:30.076 --> 00:39:32.912
>> GATES?

00:39:32.912 --> 00:39:34.205
>> I SECOND THAT.

00:39:34.205 --> 00:39:35.498
I THINK, THOUGH, THAT I'M GOING

00:39:35.498 --> 00:39:37.124
TO GIVE ALL THE CREDIT TO GENE

00:39:37.124 --> 00:39:42.004
RODDENBERRY'S GRANDMOTHER.

00:39:42.004 --> 00:39:43.589
BECAUSE I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND

00:39:43.589 --> 00:39:45.257
"STAR TREK" WHEN I STARTED AT

00:39:45.257 --> 00:39:47.426
ALL.

00:39:47.426 --> 00:39:47.968
I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE FANS.

00:39:47.968 --> 00:39:50.429
I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND ANY OF IT.

00:39:50.429 --> 00:39:52.431
BUT I DO NOW.

00:39:52.431 --> 00:39:53.432
I HAVE SPENT YEARS GETTING TO

00:39:53.432 --> 00:39:55.851
KNOW FANS, GETTING TO KNOW --

00:39:55.851 --> 00:39:57.478
READING INTERVIEWS THAT GENE DID

00:39:57.478 --> 00:40:02.483
YEARS AND YEARS AGO, AND I NOW

00:40:02.483 --> 00:40:05.194
HAVE, IN HIS OWN WORDS, HEARD

00:40:05.194 --> 00:40:07.321
ABOUT HIS VISION, AND IT'S

00:40:07.321 --> 00:40:08.739
EXTRAORDINARY THAT SOMEBODY

00:40:08.739 --> 00:40:11.534
WOULD HAVE A VISION LIKE HE HAD

00:40:11.534 --> 00:40:14.078
THAT WAS OPTIMISTIC, THAT REALLY

00:40:14.078 --> 00:40:16.747
HELPS US ALL TO THINK ABOUT

00:40:16.747 --> 00:40:20.376
ISSUES, NOT JUST JUDGE THEM BUT

00:40:20.376 --> 00:40:22.378
ACTUALLY LISTEN.

00:40:22.378 --> 00:40:23.129
AND HE SAID, IN AN INTERVIEW,

00:40:23.129 --> 00:40:24.380
ONE OF HIS FIRST ONES THAT I

00:40:24.380 --> 00:40:27.133
EVER READ, IT WASN'T HIS FIRST

00:40:27.133 --> 00:40:28.426
ONES, I'M SURE, BUT HE SAID, I

00:40:28.426 --> 00:40:30.845
THINK I OWE A LOT TO MY

00:40:30.845 --> 00:40:31.429
GRANDMOTHER, BECAUSE SHE'S THE

00:40:31.429 --> 00:40:32.721
ONE WHO TOLD ME TO BELIEVE IN

00:40:32.721 --> 00:40:34.432
MYSELF AND TO BELIEVE IN

00:40:34.432 --> 00:40:36.600
HUMANITY, THAT THEY COULD LEARN

00:40:36.600 --> 00:40:40.062
AND GET BETTER.

00:40:40.062 --> 00:40:43.566
AND THAT YOU HAVE TO BE PATIENT.

00:40:43.566 --> 00:40:45.568
AND I KNOW THAT I CAN SPEAK FROM

00:40:45.568 --> 00:40:49.196
MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH

00:40:49.196 --> 00:40:49.738
THIS SHOW.

00:40:49.738 --> 00:40:50.948
I HAVE EVOLVED.

00:40:50.948 --> 00:40:53.492
I HAVE CHANGED AS A HUMAN BEING.

00:40:53.492 --> 00:40:55.327
BECAUSE I'VE LEARNED ABOUT

00:40:55.327 --> 00:40:57.288
GENE'S VISION AND I'VE LEARNED

00:40:57.288 --> 00:40:59.373
ABOUT HOW AMAZING IT IS WITH

00:40:59.373 --> 00:41:01.667
FANS AND HOW THE FANS NEED ROLE

00:41:01.667 --> 00:41:06.672
MODELS, HOW I NEED ROLE MODELS,

00:41:06.672 --> 00:41:07.006
AND I APPRECIATE VERY MUCH BEING

00:41:07.006 --> 00:41:08.716
PART OF THIS WHOLE LEGACY.

00:41:08.716 --> 00:41:11.760
IT'S A VERY MOVING THING FOR ME,

00:41:11.760 --> 00:41:12.845
WHICH I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND IN THE

00:41:12.845 --> 00:41:12.970
BEGINNING, BUT I DO NOW.

00:41:12.970 --> 00:41:21.395
I'M VERY GRATEFUL.

00:41:21.395 --> 00:41:25.608
>> WELL, I THINK TWO THINGS.

00:41:25.608 --> 00:41:27.401
ONE IS SUBSTANCE, AND WE'VE

00:41:27.401 --> 00:41:29.361
HEARD ABOUT THE SUBSTANCE OF

00:41:29.361 --> 00:41:29.653
"STAR TREK" FROM BOTH GATES AND

00:41:29.653 --> 00:41:33.699
LeVAR.

00:41:33.699 --> 00:41:37.828
BUT THE OTHER THING IS LUCK.

00:41:37.828 --> 00:41:41.916
WE HAD THE SUBSTANCE, BUT WHEN

00:41:41.916 --> 00:41:46.420
THE SHOW FIRST PREMIERED, WE HAD

00:41:46.420 --> 00:41:48.964
A VERY BAD -- IT COULD HAVE BEEN

00:41:48.964 --> 00:41:50.841
WORSE, BUT A TIME SLOT, 10:00 ON

00:41:50.841 --> 00:41:52.301
THURSDAY NIGHT.

00:41:52.301 --> 00:41:56.639
NOT THE BEST TIME SLOT.

00:41:56.639 --> 00:41:58.015
AND THE RATINGS REFLECTED THAT.

00:41:58.015 --> 00:42:03.437
WE WERE LOW-RATED.

00:42:03.437 --> 00:42:04.438
SECOND SEASON, AGAIN, IT WAS THE

00:42:04.438 --> 00:42:05.064
SAME THING.

00:42:05.064 --> 00:42:08.692
THE QUALITY OF THE SHOWS, THE

00:42:08.692 --> 00:42:12.446
PRODUCT, THE WRITING, THE

00:42:12.446 --> 00:42:15.366
DIRECTION, ALL WERE RICH IN

00:42:15.366 --> 00:42:19.495
DIMENSION AND YET, IT WAS

00:42:19.495 --> 00:42:28.087
WE COULDN'T FIND THE AUDIENCE.

00:42:28.087 --> 00:42:29.338
AND -- BUT WHAT WE DISCOVERED

00:42:29.338 --> 00:42:31.549
WAS THERE WAS A SMALL GROUP OF

00:42:31.549 --> 00:42:34.593
PASSIONATE FANS WHO JUST LOVED

00:42:34.593 --> 00:42:37.972
THE SHOW AND THEY WERE ALSO

00:42:37.972 --> 00:42:40.140
ACTIVIST FANS.

00:42:40.140 --> 00:42:42.643
MOST SHOWS HAVE FANS WHO ENJOY

00:42:42.643 --> 00:42:45.646
THE SHOW, BUT THEY SIT BACK AND

00:42:45.646 --> 00:42:45.896
ABSORB IN THE ENTERTAINMENT.

00:42:45.896 --> 00:42:49.441
AND IT ENDS THERE.

00:42:49.441 --> 00:42:52.027
BUT WITH "STAR TREK," THE SMALL

00:42:52.027 --> 00:42:55.322
GROUP OF FANS THAT DISCOVERED IT

00:42:55.322 --> 00:42:56.949
ACTED ON WHAT THEY LOVED.

00:42:56.949 --> 00:42:58.867
THEY DIDN'T JUST SIT BACK AND

00:42:58.867 --> 00:42:59.702
SAY, OKAY.

00:42:59.702 --> 00:43:02.788
WHEN THEY HEARD THE RATINGS WERE

00:43:02.788 --> 00:43:04.707
LOW, AND THAT THE NETWORK WAS

00:43:04.707 --> 00:43:07.334
CONSIDERING CANCELING THE SHOW,

00:43:07.334 --> 00:43:11.797
THEY STARTED A CAMPAIGN THAT WAS

00:43:11.797 --> 00:43:21.599
NATIONWIDE, AND ONE WOMAN, BIJOU

00:43:21.599 --> 00:43:22.766
TREMBLE WAS THE SPEARHEAD OF

00:43:22.766 --> 00:43:22.933
THAT.

00:43:22.933 --> 00:43:24.143
SHE WAS AMAZING, AND HER HUSBAND

00:43:24.143 --> 00:43:26.729
JOHN, AND HER TWO GIRLS PITCHED

00:43:26.729 --> 00:43:30.232
IN, BUT THEY COVERED THE UNITED

00:43:30.232 --> 00:43:36.071
STATES WITH APPEALS AND PHONE

00:43:36.071 --> 00:43:37.448
CONVERSATIONS, AND GOT ALL THESE

00:43:37.448 --> 00:43:40.701
PEOPLE TO WRITE FAN MAIL, NOT

00:43:40.701 --> 00:43:43.454
JUST IN QUANTITY BUT IN QUALITY.

00:43:43.454 --> 00:43:46.457
IT WAS AN INTELLIGENT, LITERATE,

00:43:46.457 --> 00:43:49.418
WELL-WRITTEN AND WELL-CONSIDERED

00:43:49.418 --> 00:43:52.004
ARGUMENT FOR RENEWING "STAR

00:43:52.004 --> 00:43:55.799
TREK."

00:43:55.799 --> 00:43:57.676
SO, THE NETWORK DECIDED TO GIVE

00:43:57.676 --> 00:43:58.719
US A THIRD SEASON, DESPITE THE

00:43:58.719 --> 00:44:03.140
LOW RATINGS.

00:44:03.140 --> 00:44:05.893
BUT THE BAD LUCK CONTINUED IN

00:44:05.893 --> 00:44:12.274
THAT WE GOT AN EVEN LATER AND

00:44:12.274 --> 00:44:17.279
WORSE TIME SLOT.

00:44:17.279 --> 00:44:18.197
FRIDAY NIGHTS AT 10:00, WHICH IS

00:44:18.197 --> 00:44:18.697
THE MORGUE HOUR.

00:44:18.697 --> 00:44:19.615
EVERYBODY'S OUT ENJOYING FRIDAY

00:44:19.615 --> 00:44:20.741
NIGHT.

00:44:20.741 --> 00:44:25.954
AND SO, THE RATINGS WERE LOW.

00:44:25.954 --> 00:44:31.251
BUT THE LUCK CAME ONCE WE WERE

00:44:31.251 --> 00:44:32.836
CANCELED BECAUSE WE WERE

00:44:32.836 --> 00:44:36.632
LOW-RATED SHOW, THE RENTAL FEE

00:44:36.632 --> 00:44:38.884
FOR THE SYNDICATORS WAS VERY

00:44:38.884 --> 00:44:40.761
LOW, AND SO THEY DECIDED TO PUT

00:44:40.761 --> 00:44:43.889
US ON NOT JUST ONE NIGHT A WEEK

00:44:43.889 --> 00:44:45.766
BUT EVERY NIGHT OF THE WEEK,

00:44:45.766 --> 00:44:48.727
FIVE NIGHTS A WEEK, FROM MONDAY

00:44:48.727 --> 00:44:49.645
TO FRIDAY.

00:44:49.645 --> 00:44:51.689
IT WAS ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYBODY,

00:44:51.689 --> 00:44:57.695
AND THAT'S WHERE WE FOUND THE

00:44:57.695 --> 00:45:00.698
BIG NUMBERS OF FANS, AND THAT'S

00:45:00.698 --> 00:45:05.285
WHEN THE RATINGS SHOT UP IN

00:45:05.285 --> 00:45:06.453
SYNDICATION AND PARAMOUNT

00:45:06.453 --> 00:45:09.498
CONSIDERED REVIVING IT AS A TV

00:45:09.498 --> 00:45:12.126
SERIES, BUT THAT NEVER

00:45:12.126 --> 00:45:13.544
EVENTUALLY PANNED OUT.

00:45:13.544 --> 00:45:16.422
BUT BECAUSE OF THE FANS THAT

00:45:16.422 --> 00:45:19.675
DISCOVERED US WITH THE FIVE

00:45:19.675 --> 00:45:23.470
NIGHTS A WEEK AIRING, IT GOT

00:45:23.470 --> 00:45:24.471
REVIVED AS A MAJOR FEATURE FILM

00:45:24.471 --> 00:45:25.681
AND THE REST IS HISTORY.

00:45:25.681 --> 00:45:30.394
>> YEP.

00:45:30.394 --> 00:45:32.104
>> ROD, YOU'RE OFF THE HOOK.

00:45:32.104 --> 00:45:34.022
I JUST GOT WORD FROM THE CONTROL

00:45:34.022 --> 00:45:36.400
ROOM THAT WE ARE SUPER OUT OF

00:45:36.400 --> 00:45:37.943
TIME AND I GOT TO CUT IT.

00:45:37.943 --> 00:45:39.153
>> I'M GOING TO SAY, HOPE FOR

00:45:39.153 --> 00:45:39.528
THE FUTURE.

00:45:39.528 --> 00:45:39.820
>> YEAH.

00:45:39.820 --> 00:45:41.238
>> AND I'M GOING TO SAY, IT'S

00:45:41.238 --> 00:45:42.364
BECAUSE WE ALL SHARE THE

00:45:42.364 --> 00:45:44.700
COMMONALITY OF WANTING TO WORK

00:45:44.700 --> 00:45:45.701
TOGETHER ONE DAY.

00:45:45.701 --> 00:45:48.454
NONE OF US SEE A FUTURE WHERE WE

00:45:48.454 --> 00:45:50.038
DON'T ALL COLLABORATE AND WORK

00:45:50.038 --> 00:45:50.164
TOGETHER.

00:45:50.164 --> 00:45:54.042
THERE'S SO FEW OF THIS ON THIS

00:45:54.042 --> 00:45:54.960
PLANET WHO ACTUALLY WANT TO KEEP

00:45:54.960 --> 00:45:56.170
DIVISION AND KEEP US APART.

00:45:56.170 --> 00:45:57.421
I THINK EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM,

00:45:57.421 --> 00:45:58.714
ESPECIALLY, BUT I DO THINK A

00:45:58.714 --> 00:46:01.508
MAJORITY OF THIS WORLD, THEY

00:46:01.508 --> 00:46:03.927
WANT TO SHARE THAT COMMON BOND

00:46:03.927 --> 00:46:05.387
WITH THEIR FELLOW BROTHER AND

00:46:05.387 --> 00:46:07.431
SISTER HUMAN, AND I THINK THAT

00:46:07.431 --> 00:46:08.557
IS WHAT KEEPS "STAR TREK"

00:46:08.557 --> 00:46:08.682
AROUND.

00:46:08.682 --> 00:46:10.601
IT SHOWS US A FUTURE WHERE WE'RE

00:46:10.601 --> 00:46:10.851
DOING THAT.

00:46:10.851 --> 00:46:11.602
>> IT DOES.

00:46:11.602 --> 00:46:14.938
>> AND THAT IS -- THAT IS --

00:46:14.938 --> 00:46:15.564
I'LL KEEP IT SHORT.

00:46:15.564 --> 00:46:16.398
>> THANK YOU.

00:46:16.398 --> 00:46:17.065
THAT WAS MAGNIFICENT.

00:46:17.065 --> 00:46:17.775
THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU.

00:46:17.775 --> 00:46:19.067
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

00:46:19.067 --> 00:46:21.945
>> LOVE YOU, SPACE SON.

00:46:21.945 --> 00:46:24.656
>> THANK YOU ALL FOR GREETING TO

00:46:24.656 --> 00:46:26.033
BE HERE AND TO TALK WITH ME

00:46:26.033 --> 00:46:27.367
ABOUT GENE, WHO WAS A HUGE

00:46:27.367 --> 00:46:29.495
INFLUENCE ON MY LIFE, OBVIOUSLY,

00:46:29.495 --> 00:46:31.038
ON THE LIVES OF EVERYBODY ELSE

00:46:31.038 --> 00:46:31.163
HERE.

00:46:31.163 --> 00:46:32.790
THANK YOU, GATES, LeVAR, GEORGE

00:46:32.790 --> 00:46:34.208
AND ROD, IT WAS SUCH A PRIVILEGE

00:46:34.208 --> 00:46:35.334
TO SPEAK WITH YOU ON THIS "STAR

00:46:35.334 --> 00:46:35.793
TREK DAY."

00:46:35.793 --> 00:46:37.127
>> HAPPY "STAR TREK DAY,"

00:46:37.127 --> 00:46:40.172
EVERYONE.
