Legendary Star Trek actor William Shatner is set to become the oldest man ever in space as part of the second crew to travel with Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin.

The 90-year-old actor will take off in the New Shepard capsule in October for a 15-minute civilian flight, according to TMZ.

The Blue Origin flight will be recorded for a documentary that was rejected by Discovery and is now being negotiated by Shatner's team somewhere else.

I recently had a few appointments at the Mayo, and that passed through my mind every time I hit the city limits.

We always watched the Jack Benny Show, the Perry Como Show, the Ed Wynn Show, the Jimmy Durante Show, the Red Skeleton Show, and many others when I was a kid. Wholesome entertainment for the whole family. There’s crap on TV nowadays.
