Terrible Next Gen Cast Interview Circa 1996. Happy New Year!

Teriible Next Gen Cast Interview Circa 1996.  Happy New Year!

Why not start of the new year with a terrible interview featuring Marina Sirtis, Jonathan Frakes, LeVar Burton, and Brent Spiner from 1996. Thanks to the fine folks at Cinematical, they dug up this uncomfortable video clip hosted by two rather annoying interviews that hopefully aren't in the business any longer. Check out the annoyed looks on Brent's face around 4:56. By the way, this was a part of the "First Contact" promotional tour and was originally aired on MTV UK.

This 8 minute long bit of talk show pain comes our way via the MTV UK show Hanging Out circa the end of 1996. The cast of Star Trek: First Contact had stopped by to promote their new film, however, the show's two hosts were not only ill equipped to talk Trek, but seemed barely capable of forming words. Marina Sirtis, Jonathan Frakes, LeVar Burton, and Brent Spiner (who is constantly addressed as Data) all do their best to save face despite the hosts increasing number of blunders but there was no saving the interview. Things start off rough but salvageable with the female host, Simone, confusing who is who, but if name and character mix-ups were the only problem here, it wouldn't be worth talking about, now would it?
