Star Talk: Neil deGrasse Tyson Gets New Late-Night Talk Show

“April is the cruelest month, breeding/ lilacs out of the dead land, mixing,” wrote T.S. Eliot. I don’t know what the hell he was on about because this April is going to be awesome.

Famous science man Neil deGrasse Tyson’s new late-night talk show Star Talk, based on his acclaimed podcast, is coming to the National Geographic Channel in that very merry fourth month of 2015. With it brings the promise of dozens of easily embeddable, highly shareable video clips of Tyson debunking anti-science nonsense to creationists, and explaining actual science goodness to America’s sweethearts (movie stars) and black sheep (comedians). The Hollywood Reporter, err, reports:

Star Talk will indeed follow a similar format to Tyson’s podcast, which marries science and popular culture and feature interviews with celebrities, comedians and scientists. He’s still sorting through all of the elements that he’ll add to the television iteration, but he does intend to give Bill Nye a platform for a minute-long rant in each show, much as Andy Rooney had for many years on CBS’ 60 Minutes.

Look out, John Oliver: America fucking loves science.
