It was fun while it lasted. Okay, not really. But then again, it also didn’t last. Secret Talents of the Stars, which aired Tuesday night as the replacement for the much loved Jericho, has been cancelled after a single episode. Somehow, viewers just didn’t warm up to the idea of watching people who are famous for doing one thing well doing something entirely different, and not very well. An additional problem was that people like Danny Bonaduce, Sheila E, and Marla Maples can only be called “stars” if you redefine the term so broadly that it becomes more or less synonymous with “biped.”
So those of you who didn’t see Sheila E’s juggling skills or Clint Black’s dark, somber stand-up routine—and that’s pretty much all of you, judging by the ratings—won’t get a second chance. While Secret Talents of the Stars rides off into the sunset, to join the growing list of one-shot wonders, we’ll let George Takei serenade the departing series with his rendition of “On the Road Again.” Watch out, Clay Aiken!

I’ve met George Takei and I have to say he’s a really nice guy.
Actually, I know several people who’ve met George Takei on various occasions, and everyone agrees that he’s a thoroughly decent guy. But no country singer, he.
