The Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner is a hilarious and entertaining roast featuring the iconic actor and Star Trek legend William Shatner. The roast was originally aired in 2006 on the Comedy Central channel and was hosted by comedian and actor Nick DiPaolo. The roast features a stellar lineup of comedians and celebrities who take turns poking fun at Shatner and his various roles and accomplishments.

One of the standout performers in the roast is Jason Alexander, who delivers a series of well-crafted jokes and witty one-liners that have the audience in fits of laughter. As a former co-star of Shatner on the hit TV show Seinfeld, Alexander has plenty of material to work with and he certainly doesn't hold back. He pokes fun at Shatner's acting style, his love of horses, and his sometimes-egocentric behavior.

Another memorable moment in the roast is when Farrah Fawcett takes the stage to deliver her own set of jokes aimed at Shatner. Fawcett had previously worked with Shatner on an episode of the TV show "Kung Fu: The Legend Continues," so she has some humorous anecdotes and inside jokes to share. Her jokes are met with raucous laughter from the audience, and it's clear that Shatner is taking it all in good spirits.

Throughout the roast, Shatner himself is a good sport, laughing along with the jokes and offering up witty comebacks of his own. He even takes part in a few comedic skits and musical numbers, demonstrating his own sense of humor and love of performing.

One of the most memorable bits in the roast comes when Shatner takes to the stage with a group of "Star Trek" fans dressed in full costume. The fans are there to present Shatner with a gift, but it turns out to be a series of humorous questions and ridiculous requests that leave the actor rolling with laughter. This segment perfectly captures the fun and irreverent spirit of the roast, and shows Shatner's ability to laugh at himself and his fans.

Overall, The Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner is a highly entertaining and enjoyable viewing experience. The jokes and roasts may be crass at times, but they are delivered with such wit and humor that it's impossible not to laugh along. Shatner proves that he has a great sense of humor and is willing to laugh at himself, and the roster of talented comedians and celebrities make this a must-see event for any fan of comedy or pop culture.

The Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner is a 2006 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 21 minutes. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 7.3.
