Hey Cosmos fans: you're about to get another Neil deGrasse Tyson TV show.

Quote:Neil DeGrasse Tyson is getting a late night National Geographic talk show
Neil DeGrasse Tyson's foray into television with the reboot of Cosmos last year has led to another show about science. Today the National Geographic Channel said that it's tapping Tyson for what will be its first late-night series, called Star Talk. According to a release about the new program, obtained by The Wrap, it's going to be a lot like Tyson's podcast, which has been running since June 2009:
Based on Tyson's incredibly popular podcast of the same name, the new series will bridge the intersection between pop culture and science as it brings together celebrities, comedians and scientists to discuss the latest developments in our vast universe.
The weekly program airs in April and will be taped in front of a studio audience at the American Museum of National History's Hayden Planetarium, Nat Geo says. No word yet on who the first guests or topic will be, but Tyson generally has a lot to talk about with just about anyone, including Twitter at large.
Tyson's first and only season of Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, aired on Fox last May and ran 13 episodes. The program was an ambitious reboot of the 1980 TV series by astronomer Carl Sagan, and would run on Nat Geo the day it aired on Fox.

Ooooh, I love the Star Talk podcast! Too bad I don't have cable or satellite though. D:
Ah well. I'll stick with the podcast. It's good stuff.

This will be epic
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
