More toup on toup...

"Toup on toup" is attempt to log instances where Bill Shatner has stunned audiences by wearing a wig or other hair appliance on top of his existing rug, thus ensuring two layers of trapped bodily heat - enough to keep an Eskimo very warm in winter. We've previously found an example here and now we have another one, also from the TV show Boston Legal. The image is sourced from here and fans of the series will hopefully be able to tell us just what was going on in this picture.

Is there an expression on Bill Shatner's face in the above picture which suggests that he appreciates the ridiculous nature of the toup on toup scenario?

UPDATE: A reader has very kindly and very quickly helped point out the episode (Season 3's "Guise 'n Dolls") and context related to the above picture. Click here for a transcript of the episode.

Toup on toup.

Just one toupee, despite the rumors.

There is a story that has circulated among some Star Trek fans that in the second season episode "The Deadly Years" (in which some members of the crew, including Captain Kirk, rapidly age - see above) Shatner wore an "old age" white-haired toup on top of his regular toupee. We are convinced that that story is simply not true - for the makeup department to do something like that would simply be ridiculous and totally pointless.


But we have found one such example that can be confirmed. Not sure what the above picture is, but we believe it is from an episode of Boston Legal (fans of the show, please help us out if you can). What we see is a toupee that is fake and supposed to be fake on top of a toupee (or plugs) that are fake but are supposed to be real. Shats should avoid such mind-bending stunts as they threaten the very fabric of the space-time continuum!
