    William Shatner's 'Priceline Negotiator' to die

    It's game over for William Shatner's "Priceline Negotiator." He will be killed in a fiery bus crash in a commercial set to air on Monday.

    They're leaving me on the same cliffhanger you're on," he said. "They're careful to mention that I still have a contract." He said there is about a year left on his current deal.
    Ek said Priceline decided to have Shatner's character make such a spectacular departure as a way of drawing more attention to the company's published-price offering, which is much less well known than its name-your-own-price service.
    Shatner's 14-year run with Priceline is one of the more enduring celebrity spokesman relationships in Madison Avenue history.
