This one was not tied to any anniversary. So, in 1999, UPN (which was the over-the-air and cable network created by Paramount) created a television special to celebrate “Star Trek.” It was unlike some of the other shows created to remember Trek. Ultimate Trek: Star Trek's Greatest Moments is a UPN special from 1999 hosted by Jason Alexander, who plays a faux James T.

While all of those situations are humorous, the admiration of Shatner held by Alexander is heartfelt.
