No doubt. Nimoy said that Shatners comedic approach to the role was a major contributor to the success of Star Trek and I have to agree. I never got really warm with TNG because of the lack of humor. When the TOS movies were running the same time TNG was on TV and the Original crew was cracking jokes and teasing each other it was clear - that was what Star Trek was supposed to be like.

William is epic. A master at his craft.

Frank Sinatra described "My Way" as self-serving and self-indulgent, which it is, though it's also an enduring classic because there are some times in life when those feelings are appropriate. So by his comedic delivery, Shatner made it possible for George Lucas to endure this self-indulgent celebration of his career in the company of his fancy peers.

Shatner was brilliant here!

No idea how I missed this all these years. Wow, that was perfection. I saw Shatner in person at a convention in NYC back in the 200's and he brought the house down. People were laughing so hard their guts were in agony. No shock he would rock this. Legend!
