William Shatner's SHATNER'S WORLD Broadcast Nationwide Tonight

Television and movie superstar William Shatner stars in his own one-man show, "Shatner's World," brought to you by Fathom Events and Priceline.com. Through anecdotes, songs, jokes and poignant moments, Shatner relives his phenomenal path from classically trained Shakespearean actor to cultural icon.

"I've done this one-man show on Broadway and in many cities across the United States," said Shatner. "At the curtain call, the audiences' reaction, their love and appreciation, moved me to tears. This show has been one of the highlights of my life."

The two-hour show will take audiences on a retrospective voyage through Shatner's life and career through his laugh-out-loud humor, signature storytelling and select musical selections in his inimitable style. He is known as much for his unique persona as for his expansive body of work on television and film. In addition to a spectacular show, cinema audiences will be treated to an exclusive welcome message from William Shatner himself.

"William Shatner takes fans on a unique and exciting journey where they'll see the human side of his larger-than-life persona," said Shelly Maxwell, executive vice president of Fathom Events.
