Shatner himself has admitted it.
You know, the ones Shatner told to get a life.
My God, I also didn't know Shatner was in the movie.
He wisely allows Izzard and Shatner to go wild, and they reward him with the movie's funniest moments.
Even the actors were fighting with each other(Shatner frequently stole lines from his castmates) and
with Roddenberry(over scheduling and appearance fees).
William Shatner's face wasn't the only one in the running

Production designers didn't realize the mask was supposed to be William Shatner until it was time to order more masks for the sequel.
When the show was given a second chance,
Jeffrey Hunter had moved on to other movies and a young William Shatner was cast as Captain Kirk.
Jeff[Hunter] was playing Captain Pike as a very thoughtful, kind of worried, kind of angst-ridden nice guy,” Nimoy later told Shatner,
in an interview for Shatner's book“Star Trek Memories.”.
He's been mistakenly shipped off to Africa, where the zoo folks meet a demented wildebeest,
Kazar(William Shatner), who has created a cult around the heavenly
visitation of a koala doll they worship as“The Great Him.”.
If you have ever been to a Star Trek convention, you will likely see a video of some of these bloopers, such as one video that shows a

In place of the penguins, who weren't around long enough,“The Wild” offers Izzard's hilarious improvisations(he is said to
have created 85 per cent of his lines), and Shatner doing his self-deprecating thing as a puffed-up religious
fanatic who really wants to be a choreographer.
