>> DeGRASSE, IT'S MY STAGE NAME.
>> IF YOU ARE BLANK, YOU WILL 
LOVE "STAR TALK?
>> IF YOU ARE HUMAN YOU WILL 
LOVE "STAR TALK."
>> ALIENS?
NO.
>> NOT FOR ALIENS.
>> WHY DO YOU LIKE TO DO THIS?
>> THE IDEA WAS, THERE IS 
PROGRAMMING OUT THERE FOR PEOPLE
THAT ALREADY KNOW THEY LIKE 
SCIENCE, BUT YOU GO THERE ON 
PURPOSE TO DO SO, AND WE THOUGHT
IS THERE ANYTHING FOR PEOPLE 
THAT DON'T KNOW THAT THEY LIKE 
SCIENCE?
BETTER YET, FOR PEOPLE THAT THEY
KNOW THEY DON'T LIKE SCIENCE?
I AM THE SCIENTIST AND HOST, AND
MY GUESTS ARE HUNE FROM POP 
CULTURE, AND MY CONVERSATION IS 
HOW SCIENCE IMPACTED THEIR 
LIVES.
>> IMPOSSIBLE.
>> THEY HAVE A FAN BASE THAT 
WOULD FOLLOW THEM THERE AND THEY
GET TO HEAR A CONVERSATION WITH 
THEIR PERSON TALKING ABOUT 
SCIENCE, AND OUR GOAL IS THAT IT
REVEALS THE UBIQUITY IN SCIENCE,
AND ANOTHER GOOD WORD, AND -- 
>> YOU ARE BLOWING MY MIND.
>> SO YOU ARE COMBINING POP 
CULTURE AND SCIENCE?
>> NOT ONLY THAT, BUT MY CO-HOST
IS A PROFESSIONAL STANDUP 
COMEDIAN, SO IT'S A COMEDIC 
BOYEN SEE.
>> IT'S WEAVING A TAPESTRY THAT 
IS DON'T KNOW 
THAT SCIENCE IS FUNDAMENTAL TO 
THE UNDERSTANDING OF IT, AND 
THAT'S HOW THE CONVERSATIONS 
UNFOLD, AND ONE OF THE GUESTS IS
JIMMY CARTER -- 
>> HE IS THE COMEDIAN.
>> NO, I DIDN'T ASK ABOUT THE 
MIDDLE EAST, BUT WE TALKED ABOUT
THE ASTRONOMY, AND HIS TAUGHT 
IT, AND THERE IS THE INFUSION OF
SCIENCE INTO EVERYTHING WE THINK
AND DO.
>> SO GOOD.
>> THE SHOW IS DOING WELL?
>> YEAH, YEAH, IT JUST PREMIERED
A WEEK AGO.
IT COMES OFF OF A RADIO SHOW AND
PODCAST THAT WE HAVE HAD FOR 
FOUR OR FIVE YEARS, SO IT'S NOT 
AS MUCH OF AN EXPERIMENT AS YOU 
MIGHT
