That was a pretty cool show, and yeah, surprisingly, Shatner's opening bit was very funny! I liked that a lot of parts were almost like a Celebrity Roast (especially from the SW OT players). Good stuff, and well deserved for George. #37, I think, on the AFI Lifetime Award induction list.
I taped the thing too, but missed about the first 15 seconds. I don't have a dual deck VCR though, so I wouldn't know how to make anyone copies...
