For years, Priceline's official spokesperson was William Shatner, who agreed to do the spots for free in exchange for stock in the company. An early ad campaign featuring Shatner had him belt out popular songs in spoken word, in the style of his album, The Transformed Man. He was "replaced" in 2004 by his Star Trek co-star, Leonard Nimoy. Shatner still appeared in spots for Priceline, running into Nimoy as his replacement. That campaign is now over; Shatner has returned to his place as Priceline's only spokesman.
