'Pluto Had It Coming' Says Neil deGrasse Tyson

[@syd7801]

Stephen shines when he has guests like this on his show.

[@dragonpops3988]

I agree. Stephen is intelligent and when he surrounds himself with other intelligent beings like Neil, this show just gets that much better.

[@Person-tq4xf]

TTK yeah that's why i like this show better than all the other late night shows

[@colinwhitlock5148]

The taken king? Probably not.

[@spinking458]

His job is my personal worst nightmare. Having to interview D grade actors who have no personality & are completely indiscernible from each other, who are there to promote a film or program you have never seen or heard of, or will ever watch. And he has to do this 5 days a week. He may get the occasional star who is a household name, but how often are they really engaging & thought provoking & simply entertaining? They are there for a purpose, to promote their product. they're presenting a completely artificial version of themselves, and are simply there to plug their product. So when a man of immense knowledge & education sits as the guest for the evening, it does not surprise me one iota that Stephen salivates at the prospect of interviewing someone of incredible intellect.

[@romarina2687]

TTK and the fact that they're really close friends is even better, their families spend holidays together sometimes

[@influenza99]

Neil should be a weekly guest. You know, just to get us caught up on things.

[@anp1609]

Monthly guest would be far more better as we can know even more

[@art_ryan52]

❤️🙏

[@MyBiblicalRomance]

He has his show star talk on KZbin ! 💕

[@chainsawkillers]

He is over exposed. He must have hundreds of videos on KZbin and his guest appearances everywhere else are numerous. Once a year would be fine so Colbert can rake him over the coals and watch him squirm.

As a Chinese I am so proud watching this show. So to those Americans who are angry, listen. That's the thing about science, it doesn't matter where it happens, it's gonna happen somewhere.

I am rooting for the appearance of that weird huge dark out-of-plane elliptically orbiting planet I keep hearing about. If that thing shows up then it's just a few more stages till we have to unite to defeat the final boss of the game. Siri will help us. And Elon, and Neil.

[@chaoticcranium]

Believe me, we are not angry at China. We are angry at our own government, that has so utterly misplaced its priorities and gutted scientific research and advancement.

I was actually in the middle of a Science Unit about Space as a Preschool teacher when it was announced that Pluto was not a planet anymore. Try explaining that to three and four year-olds... the best lesson from that experience was that people make mistakes, even very smart people. It is important to learn new things and share them. Also, when we have better tools, they help us to see and figure out amazing things. It’s fantastic to hear from Neil - what an outstanding teacher! 💫⭐️

Neil is one of the people, along with Bill Nye, that sparked my love of science. At this point in my life, I'm not surprised in the least that they are both (Bill being the CEO!) members of the Planetary Society, and amazing independendent speakers and presenters in their own right. I guess my point is that I grew up with the show "Bill Nye the Science Guy" and I think all kids need to grow up with a show like that.
