“Entertainment Tonight” co-anchor John Tesh, a self-proclaimed long-time Trekkie, will play a Klingon warrior in a coming episode of the syndicated show, “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” which airs on KCOP-TV Channel 13. Tesh will have to undergo a two-hour makeup session for the episode, titled “The Icarus Factor.” “I was born to be a Klingon,” said Tesh. “After all, a Klingon costume was the only one I could fit my 6-foot 6-inch body into.” The episode is set to air the week of April 24.
