William Shatner, known, of course, as James T. Kirk in the Star Trek franchise, but also the creator of some of the greatest characters in television, including Denny Crane off The Practice and Boston Legal.
Mandy ConnellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He also starred in what might have been the funniest two seasons of programming I have ever seen in a little show called Better Late Than Never.
Mandy ConnellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
William Shatner, welcome to my program.
Jason FraleyHOST
So, I mean, just bringing it full circle back to AwesomeCon, which, you know, celebrates pop culture in many, many facets.
Jason FraleyHOST
For even folks that may not even know you as the Star Trek, as hard as it is to believe, everything you do in pop culture seems to turn to gold, whether it's, you know, The Practice or Boston Legal on TV or Tech War novels or... brad paisley music video or you know any number of things you seem to just kind of bring this uh you know good-natured spirit that makes makes you kind of a lovable figure no matter what medium um my personal favorite um is you with the laughing gas on the fresh prince of bel-air how well do you remember that one
William ShatnerGUEST

speaker_1HOST
Kelly is a legend.
speaker_1HOST
He did Big Little Lies, but he cut his teeth in the 1990s with legal dramas like The Practice and Ally McBeal.
speaker_2HOST
He did.
speaker_1HOST
Are these platforms actually taking creative risks? Or are they just recycling the exact same prestige talent pool to guarantee viewers completely regardless of what the story is?
speaker_1HOST
Just hiring whoever worked last time.
speaker_2HOST
But consider the thematic leap Kelly is making here.
speaker_2HOST
In the 1990s, he built an empire exploring the ethics of the courtroom in the practice and the surreal workplace politics of a law firm in Ally McBeal.
speaker_2HOST
Today, in 2026, he is taking those exact same sharp observational skills regarding workplace ethics and applying them to sex work and the digital gig economy via OnlyFans.
Rachel Goldberg-PolinGUEST
I like to think of the second that Yom Kippur is ending is that the judge, right? We've called it Judgment Day, the whole ten-day period, that suddenly the judge looks down, like I'm picturing Judge Judy looking over her podium and saying, "Honey, don't you recognize me? It's me, Mom.
Rachel Goldberg-PolinGUEST
You're free to go." And that feeling of elation, thinking back to LA Law or The Practice, that when someone was told, "Okay, you're free to go."
Dan SenorHOST
Wow, I love your-- I-- Rachel, I'm sorry.
Dan SenorHOST
I love your pop culture references.
Ken ReidHOST
So they're like, here are the best shows of the year.
Ken ReidHOST
Uh, the practice is number one.
Ken ReidHOST
I remember people thinking this was a good show at the time.
Ken ReidHOST
It's David E. Kelly.
Ashleigh MerchantGUEST
The cross-examination.
Ashleigh MerchantGUEST
But I will tell you the most accurate ever is The Practice.
Ashleigh MerchantGUEST
It's old, the practice.
Ashleigh MerchantGUEST
Not Law and
Tim PoolHOST
Order? No.
Ashleigh MerchantGUEST
God, no.
Ashleigh MerchantGUEST
I can't even watch it, it unnerves me so much.
Ashleigh MerchantGUEST
I'm like, oh, no, the practice.
Law MurrayGUEST
Who's David E. Kelly? What show did he have? David E.
Sam VecenieHOST
Kelly is the guy that wrote Big Little Lies and The Practice and all that stuff.
Sam VecenieHOST
So David N. Kelly works for a firm called O'Melveny, which...
Sam VecenieHOST
I guess has a lot of experience, uh, defending like Hollywood arbitration situations.
