He has played that role for all he can, and it has taken him farther than he probably ever had a right to expect. That said, I like William Shatner a lot; he funny and seems to take himself very unseriously.
But, much as I love BBM, it would be depressing to see Jake or Heath host SNL 10 years from now -- let alone the 40 it's been since Star Trek! -- and still be doing BBM jokes. Depressing for them, depressing for BBM, depressing for the world.
As for Jay Leno and his homophobic ilk: they are shameless. Like Meryl said, do they never stop to think about what it is they're saying? Along with the members of the AMPA, I will never respect those people again.

William Shatner's regret was that his name might have meant something more than Capt. Kirk had he not been so identified with the character that he could never get any other meaningful work. He was T.J. Hooker, but critics called him 'Captn Kirk with a badge.' He's been milking it in recent years to be sure, a classic example of 'If you can't beat them, join them.'
Oh, I agree with Jess. It's one of those - we can make stereotypical jokes about ourselves, but no other people can do it - things.
As for Jay Leno and ilk, other than he and his wife's charitable work, I never thought much about them period, much less develop or not develop respect for them.

I would like to let them and not make them a William Shatner and eventually make them regret taking the roles in the first place.

So very well said - both Jake and Heath are moving on with their careers. Just think - they had more than a year before BBM came out in theaters to process what they went through, and now it has been over two years for the actors - moving on and continuing to grow in other roles just makes sense. It is difficult for some to accept - some of us are viewing BBM only for the first time since it came out. I'm not sure what I'm trying to say but there will always be those who are new to BBM and who rediscover it.

All this "Queer Eye" talk has got me SNL wardrobe curious...what do you call two men who share each other's clothing? There's got to be some clever term for it- Closet Cousins? Prada Partners? Puma Buddies? Toothy Tile Sportswear Lovers?
...from another, er, I plead the 5th O0, site.......

Greetins from Wild wonderful west virginia. i,Wayne, Lynne, Wulf and RouxB and My partner are in a little cabin, drink wine, and we have a 56k dial up connection. We want to know what size dress you think he is wearing. We watched SNL on Broadcast TV, and the stock footage awards was innerupted by local coverage of an apartment fire. We think 12-14, but maybe up to 20.
Peace Out,
stg
