Oh MY have we got a good one for you this week! I am so thrilled to have the incredible George Takei on the show. What a joy to sit down with an absolute icon. George became a household name playing Sulu on many iterations of Star Trek. He also played Kaito Nakamura in Heroes and he and I had so much fun playing ourselves together on The Big Bang Theory. Throughout his career, George has always been an activist and we talk about that side of his life in this conversation as well. He has a new graphic memoir out now called "It Rhymes with Takei," which is all about his experience as a closeted man in Hollywood and then coming out at age 68. We discuss what that time in his life was like, and we talk about the origins of his activism, going all the way back to his early childhood in an internment camp during World War II. It was a privilege to get to have this conversation and I hope you enjoy it! Be sure to stick around afterwards for the Hindsight, where my producer Jeph and I discuss the episode and I learn this is not the first time Jeph has met George Takei.
