the entire first season
that that was happening out there.
It's still that way.
Don't you guys get that in Vegas?
Talk a moment about
what it's like to go out on stage.
Let me just say this first. Patrick
was quoted, I wonder if it's accurate,
Patrick was somewhere
quoted as saying,
"If I had known what I was getting into,
I would have said no,
"and it would have been a mistake."
-Does that sound familiar?
-Yeah, that's absolutely accurate.
-I would have said that.
-Talk a moment
of what it's like to go out on stage
in front of four, five, 10...
We used to go out
in front of 15,000 people.
-Remember the Albert Hall?
-And Albert Hall. We've been there.
And not know exactly
what you're going to say.
-I mean...
-Didn't it become easy?
It became like flying.
But when you describe it to your friends,
other actors included,
what particular skill
and what it is you do at a convention,
it's inconceivable.
Because it's really a combination of
stand-up, public speaking, anecdotes.
I do, of course,
interpretive dance and singing
as part of my convention appearances...
-No strip?
-... but some choose not to.
I do impersonations.
And you have a captive audience.
You've got 15,000 people who have paid
because they like the show,
so you don't even have
to win them over.
-Have you ever done that?
-I've never been to the convention.
-Never been invited.
-Oh, my God.
-That's not true.
-Absolutely. Absolutely.
-I've never... I swear on my grandkids.
-Leonard, tell her.
Tell her she's lying.
No, this is the truth.
-They've never invited you?
-No, they've not.
-Unbelievable.
-That's impossible.
-That is unbelievable.
-No. It's absolutely true.
-Unbelievable.
-We've never been asked.
-They're scared of you, that's why.
-We've never been asked.
-That's impossible.
-I don't understand.
Have you ever talked
to somebody about it?
No. Who do you go to?
Is there like a convention person that...
-I'm getting a hold of somebody now.
-We'll rectify that immediately.
We can hook you up
before the end of the day.
But let me ask you this.
Given, given... Now you know I don't fly.
-So maybe that's why, you know.
-What do you do?
-I have a bus. I don't fly.
-So you're like what's his name on the...
-John Madden, yeah.
-John Madden.
-You take a bus across the country?
-Yes, I do.
I've seen her bus.
She used to park it in my street.
-The street you lived on in Los Angeles?
-In our street.
-In the Palisades, yeah.
-In our street.
I believe I brought you to that street.
Hello.
But here's the question...
There are conventions
that you can get to on a bus.
I wonder if it's the same situation
as when you first said
you wanted to do Star Trek.
-I think, probably.
-They're waiting for a call from you.
-Probably.
-"Does she really want to do it?
-"If she calls us, we'll..."
-I'm sure that that's it.
It may be, and also, you know,
the other thing that I think that happens,
particularly with me,
is that people are never sure
that I would be willing
to do something like that.
-That's what I mean.
-That I would be willing to...
Could it be that, of all of us here,
you're the one person that has
a stand-up, solo act history
and reputation?
-Maybe.
-And a very successful one.
Saw you on Broadway, baby.
-Yes. We were all young then.
-I did, too.
Now, Patrick.
You're always on stage somewhere.
You're doing the name of the play
we cannot say,
because we're on a stage,
so we will not say it.
But, you know,
I used to be in theatre, too.
But what's so admirable about him
is his dedication to that theatre.
And those of us who do theatre
know how elemental it is.
It requires such dedication,
such strength, such energy,
such endurance,
such a mental approach.
It is the ultimate actor, really,
who comes off successful movies
and television
and then goes back
to connecting with a crowd.
-It's unbelievable.
-That's exactly... I mean,
-without
