Neil deGrasse Tyson is getting a late-night talk show

Cosmos fans, you're in luck: Neil deGrasse Tyson will soon have his own late-night talk show.

The show, called Star Talk, after Tyson's podcast of the same name, will be National Geographic's first-ever late-night talk show. Tyson will host science figures as well as pop culture celebrities.

"Cosmos allowed us to share the awesome power of the universe with a global audience in ways that we never thought possible," Tyson said in a statement. "To be able to continue to spread wonder and excitement through Star Talk, which is a true passion project for me, is beyond exciting."
