William Shatner Strikes a Raw Nerve with Limbaugh, Jerri Springer & Whoopi Goldberg for Season 2

William Shatner & Kelsea Grammer get raw.

William Shatner (@williamshatner) heads into the second season of his Biography Channel talk show, Raw Nerve, with big names expected as guests including Rush Limbaugh and Regis Philbin as the first two guests.

Originally created and produced by Shatner for the internet, Raw Nerve, is every bit as entertaining as you would expect a talk show hosted by Shatner to be. His skills at putting his guests at ease, his comic timing and his ability to bring a conversation and it’s meaning into sharp focus (like a wise uncle in your family) is uncanny and a real pleasure to watch. We featured an interview Shatner did with former porn star Jenna Jameson on Raw Nerve (prior to being picked up by bio) where he discussed her divorce with her almost as if he had gone through it himself (something that clearly registers with her).

Additional guests slated for the much-anticipated second season include Mackenzie Phillips, Whoopi Goldberg, Gene Simmons, Jerry Springer, Jason Alexander, Larry Flynt, Tony Danza, Henry Winkler, Weird Al Yankovich, John Edward and Meatloaf.

The second season of Raw Nerve returns on Dec. 6 at 10 p.m. (ET)/11 p.m. (PT).
