Welcome to Star Talk.

Your place in the universe

where science and pop culture collide.

Star Talk begins right now.

Welcome to the Hall of the Universe

of the American Museum of Natural History.

I'm Neil deGrasse Tyson, your personal astrophysicist.

And tonight, we're going to talk about

the science of family guy.

Family guy is an animated series on television

one of the funniest, most successful series ever.

And it is loaded with pop science.

Its creator, Seth McFarline, came through New York,

visited me in my office,

and I was not going to let that go by without nabbing

a Star Talk interview.

So let's do this.

I can't do this alone.

I never can do this alone.

I went out and reached and found Chuck Nice.

Chuck, welcome back to Star Talk.

Is it pleasure? How are you?
