George Takei Sings Country in Short-Lived CBS Show

he secret talents of all but a few celebrities will remain hidden. CBS is axing its new reality show ''Secret Talents of the Stars'' after only one episode.

     The show's debut on Wednesday, April 9 featured George Takei singing "On the Road Again." Takei starred in the original Star Trek series as well as more recent movies based on the series. He also wrote a best-selling autobiography and is a successful voiceover artist as well as a respected community activist.

     The reality show also had Clint Black doing standup comedy and Mya tap-dancing. Only 4.6 million people tuned in — and thousands tuned away as the hour continued. Danny Bonaduce is among the celebrities whose secret talents will be kept to himself.

     CBS officials say news programming is expected as a temporary replacement.
