Elvis was a fan

[Khan 2.0]

Elvis Presley was such a big Star Trek fan he named his horse after the sci-fi show, a new documentary reveals.
The king of rock and roll is also claimed to have once recorded 35 tracks in just five nights, according to The Seven Ages Of Elvis, which has been made to mark 40 years since the superstar’s death.
Presley’s co-star in Live A Little, Love A Little Celeste Yarnall told the Sky Arts film: “Elvis was a Star Trek fan. He even had a horse named Star Trek.”
The actress had appeared on Presley’s favourite TV show just a year before they worked together.
She said: “First day on set, Elvis gave me the biggest hug, and he said, ‘I just couldn’t wait to meet you. I knew you were coming. And I know you from Star Trek.’

He didn't shoot a TV with Star Trek on it, did he?

"He even had a horse named Star Trek."



One would think naming the horse after a character would make more sense.

Wonder what other two shows he was watching at the same time....

Oh, no. Please don't tell me that Fred Freiberger was planning on shooting a 3rd season episode about a parallel planet of Elvis impersonators.

Was that a thing in the 60's?

No, it was a joke in 2017.

 

[Nerys Myk]

No, it was a joke in 2017.

Yeah, I got that. I was just wondering when impersonating Elvis became a thing.
