Cosmos Sequel to Star Sexiest Astrophysicist Alive

Cosmos is getting a sequel and it's to be hosted by the sexiest astrophysicist alive, Neil deGrasse Tyson.

The producers of the show say the new series will tell “the story of how human beings began to comprehend the laws of nature and find our place in space and time.” They go on to boast: “It will take viewers to other worlds and travel across the universe for a vision of the cosmos on the grandest scale. The most profound scientific concepts will be presented with stunning clarity, uniting skepticism and wonder, and weaving rigorous science with the emotional and spiritual into a transcendent experience.”

That’s the good news. The bad — or at least, potentially bad — news is that, because of MacFarlane’s involvement, the series will air in prime time, and on Fox.


On Fox?! Good lord. It'll probably be saturated with CGI graphics of robots stepping on Saturn for a transition.

Anyway, check out this photo of Neil found at Boing Boing. Looks like he's gonna barrelhouse all night long. I think he should grow those sideburns back.
