The first is for Priceline.com and is playing now. William Shatner is currently the ‘voice of Priceline.com’. This commercial shows him being called into the office, and being told that they are going to have to let him go, because he is the voice of the ‘old’ Priceline and they have now revised it into the ‘new’ Priceline. He laughs and says that he is the voice of Priceline, who could they replace him with. Just then Leonard Nimoy pops his head in and says ‘hello Bill’ and closes the door. Shatner then turns and has this strange look on his face as he realizes he might be replaced by #2. (Couldn’t find a web site for Leonard, Bill has his own, but here’s one where Spock Sings!. Yes, with his ears!) Please go see this one - can you guess what year it was made in? And in response, we must also let you know that Shatner sings!, probably even better.
Leonard does have one for his hobby - Leonard Nimoy's Photography.

Sorry about that, I entered Milton Berle BVD into Google, and just got carried away with all of the one liner web sites.
That Shatner commercial reminded me of one a few years ago. The company that sold BVD underwear ran a series of commercials with famous people showing you what they did in their BVD’s. One was with Milton Berle. He just looked at the camera, and said “At my age, I’ve done just about everything in my BVD’s”. Then he had the same kind of look that William Shatner had.
For those of you that are old enough to remember.
For those of you not, or are, let’s keep up my Las Vegas theme periodically with a local photo:
This is what the strip looks like from the southwest – driving along the 215 loop a few miles west of 15. Not as brilliant and bright as it looks when close up. And I caught a cloud in the sky.
Oh, this new Blogger editor is really nice.
