There's more to it. See post #5686 mid-page for an explanation.
William Shatner and his wife Marcy are on the game show "Tattletales". Bill is promoting his new series "The Barbary Coast" airing on ABC.
I've seen that movie a couple of times. For some reason, I thought that another actor Steven Franken, had also been in an episode of Star Trek; but, I was mistaken. He appears in just about everything else from that era.
Looked him up, and it turns out I'd seen him in a 1966 episode of The Wild Wild West (which also featured Theo Marcuse as commandant of a Devil's Island-type prison.)
I have the same reaction when I see Cyril Delevanti in something. I swear he was an Organian, but he was never in a Trek episode, though he was, like you say, in everything else.

This would almost make a good thread topic. "Actors we thought were on TOS, but weren't."
Maybe you got him mixed up with David Frankham, who played Larry Marvick.
Would you believe...Ancient Aliens?
Today on the History Channel they had back to back episodes of Ancient Aliens all day, and at 4 pm Eastern, they had an episode on that was guest-hosted by William Shatner from 2021. It was fun to see Shatner sitting there with the funky-haired Giorgio Tsoukalos and the others.
I thought it was fun seeing Shatner talking to Michio Kaku about faster than light travel where Kaku references Star Trek's warp drive too.
So at one point they have Erich von Daniken on. He wrote Chariots of the Gods back in the 60's. It's a staple of Ancient Alien thinking that all of the myths that ancient people believed are true and actually happened but instead of it being gods like in the stories it's actually aliens.
So von Daniken is making that point about how it's aliens in the myths instead of gods and he actually says
"I don't know why God would need a spaceship."
von Daniken agrees with Captain Kirk with Shatner sitting right there!

Is that the same Steve Canyon that had a comic strip as late as the early '80s?
The same.
The TV show was a little before my time, but I remember the strip being on the funnies page in several papers for quite a few years.
