Newish

DAD: (telling me about a Daily Show sketch) Yeah, they were reading the reports from that Chinese rover on the moon. And they had your Star Trek guy in there!
ME: ... MY Star Trek guy?
DAD: He's pretty funny.
ME: Leonard Nimoy? George Takei?
DAD: No, the NEW captain!
ME: Chris Pine?
DAD: No, uh--
MOM: (helpfully) Picard!
ME: Oh, Patrick Stewart!
DAD: Yeah, they had him dressed up as the rover!
ME: 'The NEW captain'?

I guess Dad's a TOS guy all the way.

Dad neither knows nor cares about such nonsense as "other captains"! The only reason he knows Picard at all is because I get all happy when Patrick Stewart shows up anywhere.

I figured he meant Chris Pine because he's seen the New Trek, but mostly what it does is make him reminisce about how he used to watch the original stuff with his Mom when he was a kid.
