Years ago, when SNL was still funny, they had a skit where the 1992 Democratic Candidates were speaking at a Star Trek convention.

Al Franken, played Paul Tsongas, and the late Phil Hartman played Bill Clinton....

Bill Clinton: Thank you. Now, I’m going to be honest with you. I’m not going to stand up here and pretend that I know as much about “Star Trek” as Senator Tsongas or Governor Brown. I’ve always enjoyed the show. But I admit that I didn’t get to see it as much as I would have liked when it was first on. And I’ve been very candid about that. As I’ve explained, “Star Trek” was on during a very difficult time in my marriage. But since then, Hillary and I have worked things out and we’ve managed to see most of the episodes in syndication, and I’ve made no secret about that. Yes, you have a question?

[A Trekkie gets up, flashing the Vulcan hand salute.]

Trekkie # 2: Yes, Governor, what is your reaction to the news that Leonard Nimoy has endorsed Senator Tsongas?

Bill Clinton: [surprised] What?

Trekkie # 2: Well, you know — the announcement that Leonard Nimoy is backing Senator Tsongas.

Bill Clinton: [angered] Well, that is a new low in backstabbing! After all his talk about integrity — it’s just a cheap actor’s stunt! And he’s no better than Shatner! He’s no better than Shatner! [He smashes his fists on the podium, destroying it, and then begins kicking what’s left of it.]
