Very few actors over the years have received more universal love from fans and mainstream media alike than George Takei. Once, Lt. Sulu of the Starship Enterprise on camp classic Star Trek, Takei has made a career out of geek love and the raised eyebrow with smirk—seriously if you have not seen the viral video of read passages from Fifty Shades of Grey, then do yourself the favor by clicking here right now.
Hence, it is a wonderful blessing to the fanboys and fangirls trapped in one house for Syfy’s upcoming reality series Fangasm that Takei has chosen to boldly go onto their show.
Appearing in the series’ premiere next Tuesday, George Takei will surprise the show’s seven geek personalities by making a surprise appearance in their shared house in order to provide his own moving insights and laughs that came with a career in film and television.
Fangasm will premiere on Tuesday September 24 at 10:00pm. From the creators of Jersey Shore, Fangasm will follow seven fanboys and fangirls of varying backgrounds and perspectives working and competing together as interns for Stan Lee’s Comikaze Expo in Los Angeles, with a possible full-time position on the line. But of course they will also learn to live with each other…in one house. Oh my.

So one more crappy hour on Siffy...
What a surprise.
It's sad that George Takei can't get some work on a good TV show (maybe a comedy he is quite the funny man).
