Weird or What? is a series on the Discovery Channel hosted by William Shatner. There is an alternate version of this series that is narrated by Peter MacNeill and does not feature William Shatner. Each episode contains four separate stories of the bizarre and unexplained. Each story ends with the host asking "is it Weird, or What?". The show also airs on History Television in Canada and SBS One in Australia.
