We’re always happy to see William Shatner on our TV screens, and now we have a new venue for doing so: as host of Syfy‘s new series Weird or What? It will reportedly investigate strange and unusual stories and determine their plausibility. The show may or may not take itself seriously, but the TV spot does not:

WEIRD OR WHAT? (NEW SERIES)

Premieres Tuesday, April 30 at 9PM – Hosted by William Shatner, each episode of Weird or What? contains three separate stories of the bizarre and unexplained. As the show unfolds, it weighs various supernatural and scientific theories that attempt to explain the story, and sometimes features tests conducted as proof of a theory’s plausibility. The show features strange occurrences such as aliens, ghosts, monsters and natural disasters.
