Our universe is filled with secret cinemistries, leaving us with many questions to be answered.

Now more than ever, we find ourselves searching for those answers as the very fabric of space,

science, and society are converging.

Here for the first time, these worlds collide, as we give you the knowledge that breaks the barrier between what is science and what is merely pop culture.

This, this, this is Star Talk.

Now, here's your host, astrophysicist, Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, and comedian, Lynn Kobletz, Star Talk.

Welcome back to Star Talk. Indeed, I am your host, Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist.

My day job is actually as Director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York City.

Today, my guest co-host, Subby, for Lynn Kobletz, is comedian, Lynn Lord.

Lynn, welcome to Star Talk.

Thank you, Neil. Thanks for having me.

Lynn is a professional stand-up comedian. She's been on ABC's The View.

She's occasionally called into comment in foxnews.com.

Yes, I'm the fair of fair and balanced.

You're not the balance of the fair and balanced.

And you've got a blog that I've loved reading in veryfunnylady.com.

Thank you. Call the comic perspective.

Yes.

A one-letter shift from the cosmic perspective.

Yes.

You know this.

Yes, I do. I was actually telling people when I was coming here today that sort of the comic and the cosmic perspectives were meeting.
