>> thanks for joining us tonight . he's been a global celebrity since playing the iconic captain kirk in tv's star trek in the 60s, and life since has been very good indeed for william shatner, for eclipse mania, he'll headline a stadium of more

than 52,000 people at the solar blackout in bloomington, indiana. shatner always seems to stay in the middle of the cosmic action, and he says that's just how he likes it. william shatner does not act his age here, here, here, here. at 93, he still rides his beloved show horse in the same way he's lived his life with uncommon talent and lots of gusto. not only is your lifespan a testament to longevity, and i'd be curious what your secrets are and if it involves horses. >> yeah, well, horses being an example of doing something you like. >> is that the secret to longevity? >> i'm surrounded by things and people that i want to be with and want to do. >> you're in it. you're into it. whatever you're doing. >> well, i think so. i'm not just don't just have a dog. i have a dog. you know, completely his his outsized passion.

>> risk is our business infused into his long roster of memorable characters, turning him into one of the most recognizable actors across decades is the needs of the many outweigh. >> the needs of the few. >> star trek's captain kirk got it. boston legal, denny crane. >> denny crane, t.j. 30, now westbound on ellen. >> and before that, he ventured into the twilight zone. there's a man out there. >> what? >> the other day, i was walking with my daughter on one of the streets, and somebody waved hello. and passing by and a car. hey, bill, we love you. and my daughter said, imagine walking around and people waving at you and saying, we love you. that's a product of a lot of time, a lot of shows. so you started

working? i started working on it and i thought we caught up with shatner in his happy place on a windswept day in the santa monica mountains, with his prized horses and his equestrian wife of 24 years, elizabeth. >> and he is not slowing down. he's still throwing himself into countless projects, hosting the popular history channel show the unexplained, which needs no explanation. >> what is it? >> where does it come from? how many are there? >> hello? >> of course there are the endless tv appearances on classics like the big bang theory, your william shatner, you can call me bill. >> well, can i call you captain? >> no. >> and third rock from the sun. >> i looked out the window and i saw something on the wing of the plane. the same thing happened to me. >> plus, his indelible roles in movies like miss congeniality describe your perfect date. >> i'd have to say april 25th,

because it's not too hot, not too cold. born into a jewish family in montreal, his career started early on tv and on stage. >> when you think back to your boyhood in canada, was hollywood always the dream? was acting always the dream. >> i've been led by some unexplained force, but i was in a play when i was six years old and moved the audience and applause, and my father picked me up and said, my boy, bill. so something that approbation made me continue on. i've never done anything else. >> for many fans, it's his swashbuckling portrayal of james t kirk over 30 years, headstrong and charismatic, that helped launch an enduring franchise with movies and merchandise. but the original star trek show was canceled in 1969 after just three seasons. >> well, i had just come off of

the shakespeare company. >> you were a shakespearean thespian right now you're a starship captain, right? >> in every revolution, there's one man with a vision. >> except that there's an energy that stage actors need to have. so i gave it that kind of impulse. i think i've learned over the subsequent years to do less, but i'm not sure that if something else came up like that, that i wouldn't have that same theatrical energy that i think is commanding your attention on star trek broke boundaries with a multicultural flight crew. >> there was that famous interracial on screen kiss, not to mention kirk's many inter galactic romances. it gave fans a glimpse into a new world of possibilities. >> star trek offers a ray of hope. star trek is a future. star trek is 400 years from now when technology, instead of demeaning us, has brought us forward and saved us.

>> star trek has earned him generations of devoted fans. but i think there was a sense afterwards where you were typecast people saw you not as william shatner the actor, but as captain kirk as a leading man. >> not too bad for a time, he struggled to find other tv roles. >> he even poked a little fun at the trek phenomenon on saturday night live. >> some of you have traveled, you know, hundreds of miles to be here. >> i'd just like to say get a life, will you, people? >> ultimately, he embraced the legions of fans who still show up at conventions like this recent galaxycon in columbus, ohio. >> what i got introduced to star trek, i was like three years old. he's one of my first, like, early childhood memories of watching him in the captain's chair. >> james t kirk, james t kirk go sign some autographs, pose

for some pictures, but i go basically to spend an hour in front of an audience having the best time. >> everybody's laughing. we're having a great time. we're discovering. i'm discovering. it's a shame to have to leave. >> yet in some ways, he's never left. he's authored bestsellers in the tekwar series, won a couple of emmys for denny crane, recorded a dozen spoken word albums, and launched a one man show about his life on broadway. >> got a guy? >> of course. he famously became a pitchman for priceline.com, for which he got paid in stock. >> a four star hotel in chicago. i'm honored price might negotiator and the.com bubble. >> i thought, wow, we're rich. i couldn't sell it for a year and a half, and i'm watching it go down. and finally it was less than what it was worth. it was like $0.25 and i sold it. and

for $0.25 and a year later it was up about $1,000 or something. oh, no. >> you know, there's an urban myth that you made $600 million on that. that's it. >> i was supposed to make $600 million. >> it never happened. and i think what i'll do, shatner says it's not money that motivates him. >> it's that endless sense of adventure highlighted in his new fan funded docu mentary. you can call me bill. >> i haven't changed the world, but what is a legacy are the good deeds he did ultimately boldly go where not many have gone before launching at the age of 90, the oldest man in outer space, literally with blue origin, i am. >> i am overwhelmed. >> i have no idea. >> a journey that he says profoundly changed his view of our precious planet. how did it move you seeing the world as

many astronauts have with this overview of how small it is, how precious it is. >> but imagine all the things that are going extinct that we don't know existed. how sad is that? and that's what i realized made me weep. >> after a seven decade career, shatner says he is grateful for his three children and five grandchildren, and for his life's work. still eager to explore the final frontier, is there a thread that connects those dots of your career? >> i don't see it connecting a thread. what i see is anticipation of things to come. i don't want to die >> you're just going to keep living and working. i hope perhaps you're immortal. i hope we hope so too. william shatner's documentary you can call me bill, is in select theaters and will begin

streaming on april 16th. when we return, a girl flips the script on her eating disorder in front of more than a million instagram followers. >> when anyone in this house wears white, it doesn't stay white for long. white to art class. that's risky. >> art has no rules, mom. >> white with coffee. >> a dangerous endeavor. >> white to soccer. i'm not gonna slide tackle. >> he's gonna slide tackle. >> but now, with ty doxie white, we can clean our white clothes without using bleach. even works on colors i slide tackled. i see that. keep your whites white even without bleach. with tide oxy white, we got this lactate is 100% real milk. >> just without the lactose. delicious to just ask my old friend kevin. >> nothing like enjoying a cold one while watching the game. who's winning? >> we are my friend. we are at simplisafe. >> we build advanced security

angeles, is winning over the internet. one bite at a time. today, i'm going to be trying strawberry yogurt. strawberry yogurt might be unremarkable to most. >> now you're ready to try it. yeah okay. i'm scared. at least it's pink. it is pink. it smells fat. i can smell it from here. >> for hannah, who has a rare eating disorder called arfid. trying small bites of typical foods is a monumental feat. >> i really don't like this. it reminds me of a cucumber. but i even did four bites just to make sure. and i'm proud of myself. >> since january, as part of a new therapy approach, hannah tries one new food each day, rating them on a scale of 1 to 10. >> i got the unicorn shaped mac and cheese to make me feel better. >> like her very first taste of mac and cheese. >> i'm really anxious cheesy and wet and it's too

strong. four out of ten i don't know if i want to eat this again, here i go. okay, horrible. that was the worst texture i've ever had. even worse than the pie. >> hannah is part of a growing number diagnosed with avoidant restrictive food intake disorder, or arfid, since 2013, when it was added to the list of official mental health disorders. it's rare, but an estimated 0.5 to 5% of children and adults have the disorder often confused with more common eating disorders like anorexia or bulimia. arfid is not about a person's self-image or drive to be thin. the people that have this diagnosis have a fear of food, meaning a fear of consuming food, a fear of being around food that could look like a fear of texture, different aversions to smells. it can also present in a form of fear of choking, vomiting, or being allergic to the food.

>> sometimes patients with arfid are not afraid of anything. rather, they lack interest in eating food. for hannah and others like her, food is broken into two categories safe or unsafe. there's so many foods. >> honeycrisp, apple. cantaloupe cream cheese. >> what is the hearts mean? and then what do the boxes mean? >> the hearts mean i like them and the boxes mean they're going on my safe food list. >> string cheese, animal cookies and orange juice all recently tried light and added to hannah's safe list. her 1.4 million instagram followers cheering her on, including celebs like rosie o'donnell and demi lovato. when did you realize it wasn't just her being picky that this was something much larger at play? >> we noticed when she went to get her physicals at the doctors and her growth was not increasing at the rate that it was supposed to. she ended up falling off of the growth chart eventually. that's when we got

concerned. oftentimes, she couldn't even be in the same room with us when we were eating with hannah's health reaching a breaking point, her parents sought help from therapist danielle gordon. >> it really is in the category of phobias, and so we treat it as like an anxiety disorder. and the way that we treat that is through exposure therapy and educating the client on where the fear is coming from so that we can address and offer corrective experiences. >> and so how has that been for her? >> it's been very overwhelming. she is on cloud nine. she's very happy to prove to herself and prove to everybody else that's watching her that she can do it, that she can overcome these challenges. >> your instagram has helped you as well, right? >> it helps motivate me. whenever i'm trying a food, i think about all the people that i'm helping. >> i was just very inspired by hannah's videos. she is so brave in doing all the exposures that she does.

>> 27 year old cassidy arvidson lives in brooklyn, new york and also has arfid. >> when i very first learned what arfid was, i like many people nowadays, went to social media to find any type of community, any resource, and i did not see anything for years, cassidy struggled to find answers, but was only formally diagnosed three years ago. i have had arfid my entire life, but most of my life i thought that i was just a picky eater. this list here is just a list of my safe foods. i have my non safe foods listed here as well. this is just a reminder to try by them. even though i may not be completely compelled to try them. the best that i can describe it is my brain just says no. like it's literally like a wall. it's a block that just prohibits me from eating this. >> today she's preparing one of

her favorite safe dishes hamburger helper, a meal not typically available to order at a restaurant. >> arfid affects my life every single day. the facts of my life socially, more than anything, and it is very exhausting. dating specifically, i really do not enjoy. and then other social events like going out with friends, meeting new people, work events. >> i think that we need to do a better job as an eating disorder community to give arfid as much as the spotlight as the other disorders, and even research wise, we need to do more work around this area to really help people and provide proper treatment for all. >> for now, hannah is doing what she can, raising awareness. some days honeydew melon has her fighting back tears and others a taste of a sweet apple. pear is followed by a smile. >> i really like this one. i

want to add it to my list. >> do you want to do your finale ? yeah. okay. >> like and follow my journey to see me try new foods. >> our thanks to jaclyn when we come back, they call it the katelyn effect. the sky high ticket prices for tonight's ncaa women's final four tournament. >> my moderate to severe plaque psoriasis held me back. >> now with skyrizi, i'm all in with clear skin. things are getting clearer. >> i feel free to bare my skin. >> yeah, that's all me. >> nothing is everything. whoa. >> with skyrizi. three out of four people achieved 90% clearer skin at four months, and most people were clearer even at five years. skyrizi is just four doses a year after two starter

doses. >> serious allergic reactions, and an increased risk of infections or a lower ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, had a vaccine, or plan to. that it may go hand-in-hand. >> nothing on my skin. that's my plan. nothing is everything. >> now's the time. ask your doctor about skyrizi, the number one dermatologist prescribed biologic and psoriasis. learn how abbvie could help you save. >> hey, what's going on? >> i switched to h&r block this year and had one of their experts do my taxes for me. kind of a big win. oh yeah. yeah, they're still on top of it. they guaranteed my taxes were 100% accurate and my maximum refund or i get my money back. wow. nice. >> i don't even know if my guys got any guarantees. >> you should definitely switch it up. we're going to go do a victory lap now. >> get a 100% accurate return and your max refund or your money back. it's better with block. >> the outrage in aftermath of
