Neil deGrasse Tyson talk show
Neil deGrasse Tyson talk show, Astrophysicist and pop culture hero Neil deGrasse Tyson will host a late night talk show on National Geographic Channel, “Star Talk” to premiere April 20.
The man who walked us through “Cosmos” on Fox and talks us through space with a popular podcast will now hold forth on a weekly cable series, the first for NatGeo. The show has booked “cultural luminaries across science, entertainment and politics, like President Jimmy Carter, Richard Dawkins, Chris Hadfield, Norman Lear, Christopher Nolan, George Takei” and others as guests. See the schedule so far.
“Star Talk” will feature weekly taped appearances by Bill Nye the Science Guy.
The show is essentially an expansion of Tyson’s popular podcast. National Geographic’s release said, “the hour-long, weekly series infuses pop culture with science, while bringing together comedians and celebrities to delve into a wide range of topics. Each week, in a private interview, Dr. Tyson explores all the ways that science and technology have influenced the life and livelihood of his guests, whatever their background.”
Tyson’s statement:
“Expanding the StarTalk radio show and podcast into a television show on National Geographic Channel offers a unique opportunity to show viewers how pervasive science is in our culture and how entertaining science can be,” said Dr. Tyson. “Throughout the show we explore current issues with top industry leaders and pair that with comical, but informed, commentary. From politicians and actors to scientists, social activists and more, the impact of science knows no bounds.”
