Ah, this is a most interesting question.

Many people think that Nyota is her first name.

Gene Roddenberry made it abundently clear that William Shatner mispronounced one of his lines, and he never called her Nyota.

So, according to Gene Roddenberry, Uhura has no first name. But according to everybody else who watches Star Trek, her first name is Nyota.



Okay, my turn.

And it's a doozy.

Walter Koenig, who played Pavel Chekov on Star Trek, is actually (in real life), the father of an actor who was on a certain comedy show.

The character's name was Boner.

What was the name of the show that Walter Koenig's son was on. It ran for MANY YEARS.

Bet you don't know this one!!!
