It was after this bit. Probably when Bezos realized the optics.

Ironic to be posting an inaccurate comment, while lamenting inaccuracy...

Here, you can see just how early this happens:

Maybe I saw a deceptive edit at the time.

But note that, in CNN video you linked, there's a cut shortly after 1m26s, before the audio and then video of Shatner&Bezos. I can't tell how much of the interaction was missed.

This ABC footage feels different than the outrage edit:

Bezos listens to an overwhelmed Shatner for close to 10 minutes, hugs, etc.

It may be that he was suddenly thinking of "optics", as someone said, or maybe he wasn't.
