Actor William Shatner, host Regis Philbin, newsman Tom Brokaw, producer Leonard Goldberg and director James Burrows were named Monday as the next group of inductees for the television academy’s Hall of Fame.

“This year’s inductees have each helped shape our industry and serve as inspiration for everyone involved in our business,” said Dick Askin, chairman of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.

The induction date has not yet been set. This year’s group will join Bob Hope, Mary Tyler Moore, Johnny Carson, Walter Cronkite, Lucille Ball and more than 100 others who have been inducted into the North Hollywood-based Hall of Fame since 1984.
