> [@anyrose](#): > > yes - from ST:II WoK - about 2/3rds into the flick, upon realizing the his foe now has him at a distinct disadvantage, Kirk leans back in his chair, shakes his fists at the ceiling and screams \*KAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!! \* Not even close and it kinda bugged me when Corddry screwed it up, Trek geek that I am. In that scene, Kirk is standing in the caverns of the Genesis Project phase II, nowhere near a chair, let alone the bridge of the _Enterprise_. He yells in fury with his eyes pointing somewhat ceiling-ward, not his face. There is no fist-shaking, though he does grip his communicator with white-knuckle force. The yell is repeated several times, but the view cuts back to show the asteroid, implying that Kirk’s fury is echoing through space. [Example](http://www.khaaan.com/) ---

Jon has actually done the “Khan” yell before, a couple years ago in a joke about the Pakistani nuclear guy. It was just like this “Kwan” yell, with the overhead view. I think it’s actually seen in some of the current Daily Show promos, although the sound is almost muted. ---

I think Jon stole it from a Seinfeld episode. Jerry accidently got George involved in a charity foundation after the death of Susan by quoting from Star Trek 2. George: Don’t you see? I’m back in! Jerry: Because of Wrath of Khan? George: Yes! Jerry: Well, it was the best of those movies. George: KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!! (with the whole overhead camera, shaking fists, yelling theatrically) ---

Maybe **deevee** already heard about Black’s show.] Actually I was counting Jon Stewart as being spun off from Craig Kilborn. 😃 ---

> [@deevee](#): > > Actually I was counting Jon Stewart as being spun off from Craig Kilborn. 😃 Well that is the rare example of the Spin off being better than the Original. I would add the Simpsons to this elite category. (Tracy Ullman Show) I suppose the Andy Griffith show could round it out.
