One harmless Irish ballad became one of Star Trek’s funniest behind-the-scenes endurance tests. In this TrekWorld story, we revisit “The Naked Time,” Bruce Hyde’s unforgettable turn as Lieutenant Kevin Riley, and the repeated filming of “I’ll Take You Home Again, Kathleen” that reportedly pushed the cast and crew to the edge of sanity.
This isn’t just a funny production anecdote—it’s a perfect reminder of what making classic Star Trek was really like: hot soundstages, endless takes, tight schedules, and actors giving their all for a scene that lasts less than a minute on screen.
If you love classic Star Trek history, forgotten guest stars, and the weird little stories behind legendary episodes, this one is for you.
