Is William Shatner The Hardest Working Person In Show Business

In addition to his peerless Priceline promotional spots, the 79-year-old has not one but two shows on television this summer and fall.

The first, Aftermath With William Shatner, debuts Monday on the Bio channel. It's a chat show with dramatizations and voice-overs ala Unsolved Mysteries. For the first episode, Shatner will be sitting down with infamous subway vigilante Bernard Goetz.

In September, the new comedy, Sh*t My Dad Says, premieres on CBS. The show is based on the book of the same name by Justin Halpern, who started it all with a Twitter feed (that has about one million followers) of his father's ravings and rants. Shatner plays the eponymous father. ''
