Shatner's Raw Nerve talk show to shake things up on the Bio channel

Legendary actor William Shatner known for his roles ranging from Star Trek, TJ Hooker and Boston Legal will headline his own edgy and off-beat celebrity interview series, Shatner’s Raw Nerve, beginning December 2 on the Bio channel.

In each 30-minute episode of Shatner’s Raw Nerve, Shatner will probe his guest’s most fascinating and sensitive subjects and touch upon a “raw nerve.”

Part of the fun will be waiting for the “raw nerve” moments that you know will be coming. I think Shatner will be good at this — as I can see him asking the “raw nerve” question that most talk show hosts would avoid. And his quirky personality will just fit in well with the format.

Shatner will explore life’s most intriguing questions, and unearth stories that are most surprising, revealing, funny, touching or bizarre. The show will be unpredictable, allowing Shatner to work his magic on each guest in his own unique way.

Guests will include an array of figures from the pop culture universe such as Tim Allen, Drew Carey, Jimmy Kimmel, Howie Mandel, Judge Judy, Valerie Bertinelli, Kelsey Grammer, Jenna Jameson, Leonard Nimoy, Jon Voight and much, much more.

Shatner’s Raw Nerve is produced by Scott Sternberg Productions with Scott Sternberg as executive producer. Executive producers for Bio are Robert Sharenow and Michael Morrison.

In addition to being the exclusive home to the Emmy-Award winning Biography® series, the blend of original and acquired series on Bio includes Final 24, Psychic Investigators and the upcoming William Shatner hosted talk show, Shatner’s Raw Nerve. The 24-hour network is now available in more than 47 million households.

Here are a few photos of Shatner with some of his upcoming guests including Jenna Jameson, Kelsey Grammer, Judge Judy and Jon Voight:
