Just saw a moment ago on her Facebook page that they did, in fact, meet beforehand in the green room and then, separately. The two may have even rehearsed the bit together, or the "Master Thespian" may simply have been told by a producer that they had something special planned at the end of his piece and asked him to go with it.

Either way, in the clip Shatner appears to be smitten.

Props also to the bassist and bongo drummer who provided the '50s beatnik coffeehouse ambience, and that was a nice touch adding a flute player for Palin's turn.
