In the fall of 1977, a Star Trek feature motion picture was on
the horizon. Paramount executive Gary Nardino sent a memo to Gene
Roddenberry after a meeting with an agent that a major star wanted

Larry Nemecek and guest co-host John Champion discuss Star Trek's
relationship with celebrity guests as well as the ones that got
away.
