Neil deGrasse Tyson THE NERDIST: Sneak Peek Aug 4 BBC America

Get an exclusive sneak peek at BBC America’s All New Special THE NERDIST: TRIBUTE TO SCIENCE before the World Premiere *** Saturday Aug 4 at 10/9c *** and discover the long-rumored but never-before-confirmed connection between Thomas Edison… and Jay-Z?!

Here, Chris Hardwick sits down with celebrated astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and poses the question, “Are we still discovering shocking things?”

Don’t miss a brand new – and hysterical! – way to tell someone that they’re not special (says deGrasse Tyson, “Chances are, you’re average.”)

PLUS: Who will win in a Pi-off between Hardwick & deGrasse Tyson? You don’t want to miss this!

In THE NERDIST: TRIBUTE TO SCIENCE, join a panel of today’s brightest minds as they discuss some of science’s greatest innovators and biggest stories. Plus guests Danica McKellar (The Wonder Years, now a mathematician), Cara Santa Maria (Huffington Post’s “Talk Nerdy to Me”) and Bill Nye (The Science Guy)!

Because without Science, sci-fi is just… fi.
