LOS ANGELES, Dec. 12 (UPI) -- Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin read an excerpt from actor William Shatner's book during an appearance on "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien."

E! Online reported Palin's reading on Friday's show followed a dramatic reading by Shatner of an excerpt from her book, "Going Rogue: An American Life."

After hearing Shatner read the "Rogue" excerpt, Palin told O'Brien she wanted to offer the former "Star Trek" star the same treatment.

"I think Bill did a great job, yeah, and I think it's only appropriate that I read a few choice excerpts from Mr. Shatner's autobiography, 'Up Till Now,'" Palin said.

E! Online said after the former Republican vice presidential candidate's reading, O'Brien quipped about the literary spots.

"Good to finally see those two together, don't you think?" O'Brien said.
