    Ok. This is for all the over excited nerds, that keep rambling about the comedians. This format is designed, ingeniously i add, for the 90% of Americans that are ignorant to the world of science. Neil deGrasse Tyson is using this as a tool to inspire and educate the part of the human race that is holding us back from furthering our future endeavors. He is the only scientists I know of, other than I guess Bill Nye, trying to bridge the gap. He should be applauded over his efforts, not spewing nerd rage over Sarah Silverman's pussy jokes. If you have a problem with this, you're part of the problem, not the solution.

      I liked the video a lot but honestly I feel sorry for Dave Grinspoon (the NASA Geologist), cause I think this event might have been an overload for him. Not every scientist can be great with audiences like Tyson or Nye. Or good at handling a conversation where they get interrupted a lot.

No guff, we actually had a mini-planetarium in the basement, and I wonder if it existed when he had attended that school. We also had the occasional trip to the Hayden planetarium as kids as a day trip. I always remember the excitement about math and science I had as a kid, and am so thankful for teachers and professors in my life who shared that skill and excitement with us kids. Thanks, Neil.

    Where is this interview being done, on the sun? They're all sweating bullets, lol.

      The headlights are pretty hot. Also, being on the sun will probably burn your sweat glands before you could sweat at all

      Fair enough, but it was a play on words as they are talking about the stars and planets and the sun is a star. Also if you want to take my comment and present a logical analysis them being on the sun and their sweat glands drying up would be the last of their worries don't you think?

      No it's already been established that this is an interview being done on the surface of the sun where it is approximately 10,000 degrees. Try to pick up on social queues and you're already late to the party Napoleonicus beat you to it at least he was the first one to say it now you're just boring me with your plagarism

      I don't even know what to say to that. If you didn't get it then it's not my fault. Not understanding something someone writes does not make the person who wrote it stupid. Some might argue that in comparison to the person who wrote it, it is you who is dumb. Really all you had to do was read a bit further down where someone already made your mistake. Oh well you know for next time, don't read half of something and then try to troll on it you might look dumb as a consequence.

    This is what happens when you get 5 comedians on the same science panel... Grinspoon and Tyson are already jokesters, and having 3 pro comedians to wind them up just put it in overdrive. Everyone just took turns for a gap to throw in their best jabs. They may not have gotten through a lot of exposition, but it was highly entertaining :)

    I would have liked this better had more of the comedians' interruptions been more relevant to what the scientists were trying to say, [instead of] throwing them off of their train of thought in typical ADHD fashion. Though they did have a few good ones esp. at the beginning, but those were kinda tee-ball setups anyway -- You almost couldn't miss them, that is, if you were paying attention.

    This isn't the video to watch if you really want to learn something. The panel is ferocious about inserting their "funny" one-liners that at the halfway point, I had to turn to something else. I guess I just wasn't in the mood for a comedy show that used topics in science as the target of the jokes. Usually, with panels involving Neil deGrasse Tyson, you can expect a certain amount of levity, and that's fine. But, when the jokes and ad libs become the center point of the discussion, it's better to tune this in when you're in the mood for rather low-brow humor.

      When Sarah Silverman dropped her mic, I was hoping it was for good. OH SNAP. Just kidding, she isn't that bad. I agree with you that most of the jokes were shallow and didn't offer much in the way of profound thought.

      The target audience is not for the intelligentsia. Its trying to appeal to a larger audience. This could actually be a hit on prime time tv. Neil has long lamented about the ignorant electorate. We need to educate the masses about all things science. What better way is there. I submit this is spot on. Love it. You go Neil!

      Disagree.
      But then again I wasn't watching this to be informed as a main goal.
      I DID learn a thing or two about Mars, though.
      And it was funny, good puns, etc.
      I'd watch it again!

      ***** Do you feel like laughing or actually learning something? This video feels like some kind of comedy routine, which is really just fine with me. I enjoy laughing as much as the next person; however, it's not the piece you want to play if you want to learn some serious science. Are you unable to make the distinction?

    I really enjoyed how Jim Gaffigan stared at Neil for the longest time with his microphone to his chin as if to say "Neil... look. Look. It goes here."

    So brilliant to add comic releif to discussions like this. Its like combining art with science, biology and so on. Taking something most people would find boring and adding the complete opposite makes for a very e tertaining and informative discussion.

    I cringed through 10 minutes of the video watching a group of comedy rejects on stage. Neil with his fake nervous laughter sweating bullets was completely obvious that he was uncomfortable.
