I just found this show. I cant even begin to say how absolutely I love this concept. Two smart guys advancing science concepts with 3 funny people. Genius!

Jim Gaffigan is so awesome.

This was one of the greatest episodes of a talk show ive ever seen. Such an awesome balance of good comedy and intriguing scientific subject matter, really amazing how they all pulled this off. They are all geniuses in their own fields :)

What a lovely, entertaining, funny way to learn about science. Whoever thought of this needs a raise immediately! 👏

When Sarah said " i bet you get so much Pudding" and then calls out that she was told not to cuss.. this is why she is one of my favorite comics of all time. Just pure 100% classic Sarah.

"I'm only exploring Mars to pay for college." -Stripper Rover Curiosity.

I love watching Neil's moustache get angry.

I have been living under a rock because this show rocks! Jim Gaffigan makes everything wonderful!

What a great combo of personalities

you laugh and learn... its the best

This format is BRILLIANT!!!! So much fun and learning made accessible!

Everyone always asks how do we get people excited and engaged about science. This video shows the perfect formula, two scientists and two to three intelligent comedians together talking about science. It's genius and takes subjects that might be abit dry and makes them very entertaining

First time I've seen this. Loved seeing two extremely intelligent scientists counting on their fingers!!!!

Eugene mirman is the shit. he kept the whole thing alive yet gets no credit on the title or the coments. he's also really Good on bobs burgers. Eugene you rock!

Dynamite format, combining science and comedy. I'd like to see serio-comic discussions on lots of topics. This was handled well by both the professors and the comedians. Never heard of Eugene Mirman, and now I like him.

Jim: “Mars is red. How do we know that’s not all blood?” That question shouldn’t be so funny, but I died laughing.

“Can I ask you a question? Mars is red. How do we know that’s not all blood?” The great thing about Jim Gaffigan is, that joke is all about the cadence, timing, and delivery. It shouldn’t even be funny yet it kills the room 😂

"SHE'S GONNA KILL HERSELF!!! CLAP!!!" - Best improv in a split second ever!!

My favorite Star Talk!!

The jokes and expressions of Eugene are priceless. So bad we missed the fallen cup at 13:58 XD.. OMG!! At 14:10 he just realizes he dropped it and looks at Sarah and is about to show her and then he keeps it to himself. LOL

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.

This is awesome show :D

I watch everything Jim, Sarah and Neil do....thank you for saving me time with this video.

This was one of my favorite episodes. Keep it up!

Neil DeGrasse Is a Rockstar

This one is the Best one I've seen so far! I've never laughed so hard listening to a science lecture.

This is so awesome that I had to find it and watch again....and again...Thanks!

this is the best video I have seen in months, thank you so much!! What an amazing pannel

Lol that nasa dude was not having it.

Gotta love when Neil's moustache gets angry ! xD

How have I not seen this before today???? Two of my favorite things: cosmology and comedy.

Big star talk fan! Excited to be able to watch the interviews live!!!

Gaffigan is killing

Gaffigan sound like the sharpest comedian on the stage. I love his stand up obsevations as long as he doesn't over emphasize the "voice" he does.

Haha Eugene Mirman is as brilliant at his feild as neil is at his! By far one of the most clever guys I've seen.

Best fffffffriendly talk show evarrrrr! Can't wait to see it live! !

The guy with the hat looks like he has these glasses with the nose xD

came for Sarah Silverman, stayed for Jim Gaffigan

This Star Talk is the best thing ever

Jim Gaffigan, Sarah Silverman, and Eugene Mirman Talking With Neil DGT..OMG GREATEST THING ON KZfaq YET!!!

Mars is populated entirely by robots.

When Neil said, “What’s up with that.” I thought he was going into the Saturday Night Live routine. "What’s up with that!, what’s up with that!"

I looked up DeGrasse Tyson on Wikipedia and learned he'd attended one of the same NYC elementary schools I did. 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.

More of these please

Why doesn't Eugene do Star Talk anymore? I really like his wit.

What a dream come truuu!! Neil,sarrah, annd jim together on one stage! Luv u neil!

this was incredible! i am a huge fan of stand up comedy and the cosmos, never did i think the two would cross paths.

I must be a nerd. I watched this video in a Jim Gaffigan search and liked it! Not a Sarah Silverman fan, but this was good. My award to quickest wit goes to Eugene though!

The best part about this (minus all the fascinating science) is how the scientists are more entertaining than the comedians. I'm a fan of sarah silverman too :D

How deep is your bug, how deep is your bug How deep is your bug? I really mean to learn 'Cause we're living in a world of radiation Breaking us down when it all should let us be We belong to you and me

oh man by far my most fav star talk!!!

There needs to be more of these. Science + Comedy = Awesome

Gaffigan and Mirman interrupted just the right about of times, and brought the funny big time. Silverman was respectful and pretty funny too. People on the comments love to piss and moan because they hate their lives I guess.

You know Neil deGrasse Tyson is the smartest guy on stage because he's also the one sweating the most. His brain is burning thru way more energy to be smart AND funny AND moderate the discussion.

Eugene Mirman is a BEAST of comedy!!

I love this!!! Sooo much funny and sooo much education!!! Thank you!!

GET ON IT SCIENCE!!! I want that on a t-shirt...

Eugene is so funny

Best panel ever!!

I love this session, learning and laughing about Mars its great. Thanks to Mr. Neil for making this kind of talks happend, we (humanity) need more of this space culture delivered in a funny way, humor and science its just awesome. Cheers from Mexico. Daniel.

there is water on mars, like flowing water i mean. but they didn't discover it untill after this video was filmed

Is the guy to the right of Sarah Silverman the voice actor for Gene on Bob's Burgers?

Neil deGrasse Tyson is one of the few Scientists who is able to take on the public media and looks good on it. There are only a few who are able todo this, most scientists sadly fail extremely on TV or any other medias.

So great loved the podcast, and seeing video is even better, thx

and now we landed another one, and have 4k images of mars

HAHAHAHA!! "Land on an astroid and eat it"! LUUUULZ

This was amazing. I need more of this in my life. =)

I'm watching this because I love Jim and Sara. I don't know anyone else.

OMG! I knew mars' rotation time and Tyson didn't! I am so proud. I can officially retire from the internet.

Do those rocket scientist know about the invention of air conditioner?

Awesome guys. Keep em coming do it again

Oh man, that was so good. Eugene freaking slayed.

Nah shut up, this was great, all of the panel members were excellent.

Gaffigan got the biggest laugh with: ``It`s not funny, she`s dead.``, at 13:48.

Great talk. Learned a lot.

Damn it must have real fun being there in person watching these comedians tear it up

Its funny seeing NDT getting corrected and made fun of by comedians who are probably 1/10th as knowledgeable but equally smart.

this is hilarious

Excellent editing! Thanks.

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.

Does that guy in the grey voice gene from Bob's Burger!?

They need some air conditioning in these meetings

This was great!

I don't understand why people are complaining, this has just the right combination of interesting facts and comedy. Four stars!

Eugene with the Donald Trump call out in 2013 haha @ 33:20

wow this is so brilliant fucking science and live comedy

this is really creative. love it

Grinspoon and deGrass hold up well to comedic feedback. The talk about metric numbers at 14:23-15:50 including deGrasse out in space was memorable. Smart of him to talk in imperial numbers thereafter. Sagan was an advocate of unmanned exploratory missions for best use of limited funding. "We're not talkin' just crazy people."

Viking 1, 2, Sojourner, Spirit, Opportunity findings =Mars sucks. Curiosity findings = Quantifying the suckiness.

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.

Man it's 6:30 am, I need to watch this in the AM where science belongs :)

i get why Eugene Mirman is not in the title , but he made it the video much better that any of the other guests. in case you were wondering why he sounds familiar, he does the voice of Gene in Bobsburgers.

Why would you put Sarah Silvermann in a panel and NOT let her curse?

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.

I didn't know what to expect, but this absurd little band of hecklers added so much to this. And this guy's mission sounds cool.

this was awesome. comedians and scientists. now that's what i call edutainment.

Wow! A lot of Sarah Silverman hate, people need to relax she's not that bad.

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.

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 like the idea of bringing comedians to science shows, it attracts more people.
