Last night's Daily Show brings us George Takei, who's gone from pretend starship helmsman to real-life human rights hero and kept an excellent outlook on everything, somehow. Takei is on a press tour for his autobiographical documentary, To Be Takei,
Ok, true story and tangent... When I was a kid living in San Francisco in the 70's and early 80's, George Takei used to be the host of this weird afternoon kids' show that ran mostly dubbed Japanese sci-fi live-action shows. It was weird and glorious. My fave was this series of space warriors named Goldar and Silvar that saved the Earth from outer-space monster threats. Wish I could remember the name of the show.
Anyhow, I've loved GT forever. He is keeps being awesome through the ages.
Did you know that George Takei has his own fragrance?
