Andeavor, well the Big Bang was actually an "expansion" that was only the duration of some kind of astrophysical nanosecond of time that wasn't invented yet, so technically, yeah, the applause was longer than the Big Bang.
It's wonderful that the biggest applause ever on this show is for Neil Tyson. He deserves it. He deserves that people listen and learn from him. The world deserves that.
*"Hes an affirmative actions scientist..."* No, he is not. He is a science educator, once an active astrophysicist, whose goal is to teach and get people to become curious about the natural world and the method we use to study it, namely, science. *"...the only hired him and promoted him because he's black, not because he knows anything, are you really that stupid?"* This is a joke, right? You cannot be that dull. *"...he really has no first hand knowledge. Are you really that stupid"* Well, that certainly is the way to change someone's mind, right? Once again, he was an actively practicing scientist, so that statement is just purely false. Yes, if you think understanding scientific principles is false, then scientists, and those who study the scientific literature, are stupid.
Can we all just take a minute to be super stoked that there exists a place where a scientist can walk out on stage, and people lose their goddamn minds? That just makes me so happy. I wish this wasn't such a rare occurrence, I wish that there were more people who celebrated intellect and substance over hocum and superstition.
The two mesh well together. He's such an engaging and fascinating person to listen to. He's intelligent, but he still gets really, *really* excited about all the things he learns and can teach others that it's hard not to get swept up in his enthusiasm.
I was really hoping he was gonna say something about science. He didn't even say anything. I love him but, I see that theres a large group of people who do not like him. I'm sure he said something after they cut and they can only fit so much in a segment. But, the way it played out was just like everyone worshiping him. (And this helps me to see why people give him shit.)
Felt so weird to see his lines written on the back of all those photos. I mean I know a lot is scripted already, but it just felt so weird seeing it in such large letters lol
i think it was his initial reaction to the photos that he didn't want to lose that's why they were written down :P that way the audience can share what was on his mind at the time of impact
That surprised me too. I think it's cos the props team screwed up by not putting the names on the back along with the punchline. So he kept having to look at the front to see who it was. In many other clips when you see the back of a picture, you can see a small printed label at the top or bottom, presumably with the name on it.
That's his whole shtick. Much like Sagan, he's one of the scientists who understand that science is not something to be reserved for scientists if they want to be succesful. He goes to shows, gives speeches and does silly things with celebrities from time to time to present a more relatable face for people to associate with the scientific community, thus increasing general interest and investment in research and development.
Maggie E of course he wins. That was a god awful school portrait photo day in school uniform that kids still have to do in Britain to this day. It's horrible having to try and smile naturally while your friends make fart noises in the queue behind you
I pity your indoctrination into a career based on silly little stories, unproven fantasy theories, and blatant lies. Hopefully one day you'll grow up and use Reality as your benchmark on whats real....
What the hell are you talking about? You're familiar with the scientific method of data gathering and using reality to determine things, yes? There are no "fantasy" theories, only hypotheses that stand to reason or theories that have enough proof to be well accepted, I pity your apparent lack of understanding about what reality even is.
That was a darn good looking kid. And knowing he was smart and very likely an enthusiastic learner in school makes me wish I could send my daughter back in time to attend school with him. Nowadays smart and cool are seen as antithetical which makes me sad for my smart but lonely kid.
I am sorry, but I already reserved that spot for Andrew Kramer, Neil can come along if he wants to, but Jeremy Clarkson is to be the assistant to Andrew.
Can we have Jon Stewart come out of his little house under the desk and show his Puberme picture please? (and then give him a few minutes to talk about what he likes)
because the time it would take him to avert his gaze to the full length of his arm would negate the need to look at the time in the first place; as he would lose time during the interval between starting the look and finishing the look than if looking half the distance. or something. i dunno. it probably just rolled up his arm because it's loose.
Props to *Neil DeGrasse Tyson*. If he wasn't an outstanding physicist, I'm sure he could be a comedian. His laugh is absolutely contagious. Gotta love the guy.
I obviously wasn't talking about sexual attraction... There's nothing sexual about saying he was a pretty good looking lad before he could grow his signature mustasch. Just like i can say Stephen is pretty hot right now even tho he's like 30 years older than me..
Stephen, you are a credit to everything good about our species. Dr. Tyson, much the same, good sir. Tyson/Colbert in 20... hell,NOW! 2017, COLBERT / TYSON!
I love how as he's looking at the picture he gives away the joke written on the back lol
Yes I literaaly saw that joke coming
The applause for Neil DeGrasse Tyso is longer than the big bang.
Wasn’t the Big Bang only about 10¯³⁰ second or so in duration?
Astrophyslol.
It’s funny because it’s true. Though most things are longer than the big bang
Andeavor, well the Big Bang was actually an "expansion" that was only the duration of some kind of astrophysical nanosecond of time that wasn't invented yet, so technically, yeah, the applause was longer than the Big Bang.
Although the effects of the Big Bang are still happening today.
the big bang is longer then the time i can spend in bed with a woman
It's wonderful that the biggest applause ever on this show is for Neil Tyson. He deserves it. He deserves that people listen and learn from him. The world deserves that.
Jon Ross Tesla did fail
There's been bigger, like Bernie Sanders or Jon Stewart, but I agree with the point you're making.
Jon Ross Haha, he never said that!😂He even defended SpaceX when their launches failed.
Neil defended SpaceX.
*"Hes an affirmative actions scientist..."*
No, he is not. He is a science educator, once an active astrophysicist, whose goal is to teach and get people to become curious about the natural world and the method we use to study it, namely, science.
*"...the only hired him and promoted him because he's black, not because he knows anything, are you really that stupid?"*

I wish this wasn't such a rare occurrence, I wish that there were more people who celebrated intellect and substance over hocum and superstition.
I agree, but I think it has less to do with his intellect, and a lot more to do with his exuberance.
The two mesh well together.
He's such an engaging and fascinating person to listen to. He's intelligent, but he still gets really, *really* excited about all the things he learns and can teach others that it's hard not to get swept up in his enthusiasm.

But, the way it played out was just like everyone worshiping him.
(And this helps me to see why people give him shit.)
Rusty for the win!
Eric Siemienczuk Yeah, plus he's cute. 😁
Felt so weird to see his lines written on the back of all those photos. I mean I know a lot is scripted already, but it just felt so weird seeing it in such large letters lol
Yeah, first I thought he had been careless with one, but then it seems he didn´t give a shit as he goes on.
I thought that the writing was a personal note from each celeb.
i think it was his initial reaction to the photos that he didn't want to lose that's why they were written down :P that way the audience can share what was on his mind at the time of impact
That surprised me too. I think it's cos the props team screwed up by not putting the names on the back along with the punchline. So he kept having to look at the front to see who it was. In many other clips when you see the back of a picture, you can see a small printed label at the top or bottom, presumably with the name on it.
And catalogue was written like catalog on the first one.
For a science guy, he connects with people. That was some ovation. :)
That's his whole shtick. Much like Sagan, he's one of the scientists who understand that science is not something to be reserved for scientists if they want to be succesful. He goes to shows, gives speeches and does silly things with celebrities from time to time to present a more relatable face for people to associate with the scientific community, thus increasing general interest and investment in research and development.
That and he's not a science guy, he's an actual scientist. ;)
I think that is because he doesn't lord over others with his knowledge, and he only wishes to enlighten others with it..
John Oliver wins #puberme. NDT was adorable. Not nearly awkward enough.
#mutuallyassuredhumiliation
Maggie E of course he wins. That was a god awful school portrait photo day in school uniform that kids still have to do in Britain to this day. It's horrible having to try and smile naturally while your friends make fart noises in the queue behind you
Maggie E I saw it and thought "my Lord, he could fit in with the cast from Revenge of the Nerds"!
Dick Nobb okay, I'll do it 😝
Of course, when you read "the nuclear option," you did it in John's voice.
it always feels good when an astrophysicist gets an applause like that.
2:28 It's like one of my Japanese animes
You just make a metal gear reference
Adrian Duran shut up otacon!
I LOVE that an Otacon reference (from MGS1 no less) is getting so many likes on such a mainstream video
Adrian Duran RELATEABLE!!!!!!!
Jack black kinda looks like Deku
Aww he makes Stephen so happy :3
They have a bromance going. Stephen is a really smart guy, so he respects Neil a lot.
Next person to just coincidentally show up with his puberty photo on a cardboard should be Jon Stewart.
Neil DePube Tyson. Okay, I laughed. Out loud even.
Jeweled Bird That should be his new nickname.
If I was in the audience I would lose my shit if Neil deGrasse Tyson just appeared like that from nowhere.
I was in the audience that night and... yes... I did lose my shit when he appeared like that from nowhere.
Neil's and Stephen's friendship never fails to bring a smile on my face!
No big deal, just one of the coolest scientists the earth have ever seen, casually walking by to show a puberty photo.
But he's not a scientist.
Oh.. somebody got the 'not a big enough star' fast track from pile one to pile 2.
I saw that too! LOL!
Who was it?!
Keep wondering who it was
Who’s that
MADtv dude
Neil is my favourite human 😁
Revelation... u just revealed how many neurones u have left. 19, 18 or 17.
Literally THE man that inspired me to pursue my Phd in astrophysics
I pity your indoctrination into a career based on silly little stories, unproven fantasy theories, and blatant lies. Hopefully one day you'll grow up and use Reality as your benchmark on whats real....
What the hell are you talking about? You're familiar with the scientific method of data gathering and using reality to determine things, yes? There are no "fantasy" theories, only hypotheses that stand to reason or theories that have enough proof to be well accepted, I pity your apparent lack of understanding about what reality even is.
Does this mean he will be spared during your alien invasion of the planet earth?
I thought to myself "Thomas Middleditch is in his forties!? That can't be right!"... it's not right... he's 35.
Yea that had to be a kick in the balls all around for him
ACtually.... Neil looks goood when he was 13.
hello world! right? I think the word Stephen was looking for was SWAG
He was a good looking kid. I feel weird af saying a 13 year old was good looking but I CAN'T FUCKING HELP IT 😂
That was a darn good looking kid. And knowing he was smart and very likely an enthusiastic learner in school makes me wish I could send my daughter back in time to attend school with him. Nowadays smart and cool are seen as antithetical which makes me sad for my smart but lonely kid.
jack black looks exactly the same
Neil should be Earth's representative if aliens show up.
Robert Clyde true
I think he already is
Why not the entire solar system?
I am sorry, but I already reserved that spot for Andrew Kramer, Neil can come along if he wants to, but Jeremy Clarkson is to be the assistant to Andrew.
Let's hope they don't say to him, "Take us to your leader!"
Holy fuck that John Oliver photo. That's the look of a guy who lost his virginity at 27 with his mom in the next room.
John Oliver showed that picture A LOT on his show though...
Don't foget crying afterwards. Probably on his mother's shoulder.
😂
DJ_Marxman "Looks like"...
Don't worry. It'll happen for you when the time is right.
comma after 27 plz
"I was feeling the universe that early" I love Neil
I think we’re overdue for another decent Colbert-Tyson interview...
2:33 When you don't have a joke: "I got nothing!"
Neil has a way of just making you smile when you see him. Seems like such a good guy.
The hand dancing from Neil never gets old.
WEIRD AL'S PHOTO IS AMAZING.
I look up to Neil Degrasse Tyson so much
Neil is the kind of Hero ,World deserves and the one it needs right now.
I see new Neil I click, and I click hard.
Casey T i
I dick hard too
Casey T I can't like this comment more than once. 😂
I love that he's got the jokes written on the back of the cards
Can we have Jon Stewart come out of his little house under the desk and show his Puberme picture please? (and then give him a few minutes to talk about what he likes)
Amy Sedaris was adorable!
Nobody makes me happier than to see Neil DeGrasse Tyson.. that man just lights up my universe!
3:23 I thought he looked like a sickly Ferris Bueller!
I love Neil! He and Michio Kaku are my favorite physicists!
Already binge-watched the series. It's awesome.
Love Neil!
Neil-Stephen is my favourite duo on tv...
I can't get over the fact that Neil basically wears his watch on his forearm
It's because his wrist - like the Universe - is constantly expanding.
because the time it would take him to avert his gaze to the full length of his arm would negate the need to look at the time in the first place; as he would lose time during the interval between starting the look and finishing the look than if looking half the distance.
or something. i dunno. it probably just rolled up his arm because it's loose.
Not only has Neil met Superman in the comics but apparently he was Static Shock this whole time...
NDGT looked so fucking dope as a kid like he already knew the secrets of the universe
I didn't know who the Samantha Bee one was at first. I thought it was a boy.
He looks bad ass at 13, still does
Aw! Sam was adorable.
Neil had to be the coolest one yet.
He skipped one, sneaky bastard :p
Neil doesn't look that bad as a kid. I bet he did well with the ladies.
NTG and Colbert are like Seinfeld and Letterman. Love it!
Little Known Fact: Neil DeGrasse Tyson can appear anywhere at will. One of the perks of knowing so much about how the universe works.
I love those two!
Neil DeGrasse Tyson is one of the greatest humans to walk the planet! Thank god for this man! Awesome 👍
I was just watching Neil Degrasse Tyson here last night and boom. Here he is ☺️
Wow! Neil really got an entry applause. I guess its safe to say he has a LOT of fans!
Neil for PRESIDENT !!!!!!!!!
4:42 -- Man, Tyson is surely made of star stuff - ROCK STAR stuff.
Man I love Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Props to *Neil DeGrasse Tyson*. If he wasn't an outstanding physicist, I'm sure he could be a comedian. His laugh is absolutely contagious. Gotta love the guy.
Friggin Love that dude,, Neil DeGrasse Tyson is a Legend.
I just saw Neil on that WIRED video, last night. Badass human being.
Damn it I love Neil DeGrasse Tyson so much! He's just such a wonderful person.
Once again, true to form, a Late Show segment features the always-odd cackle of Jon Batiste.
3:39 What a change!
I wish 18 year old me could take a picture looking as confident as 13 year old Neil 😂😂😂
Young Neil lookin pretty fiiiiine
I love that people freak out when they see Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Science and reason for the win!
Neil is a hero!
Colbert's wine-drinking buddy Neil shows up for a SURPRISE cameo. Great stuff!
Omg I was so shocked when Neil came out because I can't read so I had no idea he was coming out..
5:52 did he had any idea how awesome he is gonna be when he gets old.
*Neil Degrasse Tyson for superintendent at Springfield Elementary!* 🤠
You're picturing it, we're talking about it, that's a win in my book.
4:07 I died at John Oliver
yas neil!!! read his book in one sitting, was one of the highlights of my summer LOL
Neil DeGrasse Tyson is the center of the universe, wherever he goes :D
When HE walked in I just smashed the like button!
3:42 who did he skip?
Hack fraud!
Ike Barinholtz
twitter.com/ikebarinholtz/status/913619967802671105
Ceedy who is he?
The John Oliver one was brutal! Neil DeGrasse Tyson was very handsome.
When awkward is as mesmerizing as the constellation, you get @neiltyson teen photo
Neil was so handsome at 13!! Oh my gosh how cuuute
they go crazy for Tyson
I have seen people like Tom Hanks do that. Neil is the man.
Ohhhh I friggin love Neil
Astrophysics black guy
Hayden Planetary fly
(Thank you, Epic Rap Battles of History...😂)
A scientist with celebrity status is crucial at this time- Neil Degrasse Tyson has stepped up!
I like how some of the 4th wall was broken when you can see what his joke is gonna be on the back of each photo
good god the kenan thompson impression is so spot on
He makes me so very happy.
I'm a simple man. I see Neil DeGrasse Tyson, I press like.
I love you Neil!!!!
I love Neil! Rockin' dat 'fro!
Jack Black’s Picture looks like Finn Wolfhart.
My favorite teacher.
Won't lie, Neil was pretty hot before the mustasch.
Nebbus
Thats a 13 year old kid. Please tell me you're under 16??
I obviously wasn't talking about sexual attraction...
There's nothing sexual about saying he was a pretty good looking lad before he could grow his signature mustasch. Just like i can say Stephen is pretty hot right now even tho he's like 30 years older than me..
I love how the jokes were written on the back in giant writing.
1:27 look at the back of the frame
Stephen, you are a credit to everything good about our species. Dr. Tyson, much the same, good sir.
Tyson/Colbert in 20... hell,NOW! 2017, COLBERT / TYSON!
Stephen looked like a vampire prince in that photo
I feel like when ever Neil Degrasse Tyson is sitting in that chair, he looks like a king sitting on his throne😎😎😎😎😎
