Even in reruns, October is shaping up to be a record for Neil DeGrasse Tyson. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert re-ran both of his September appearances this past week. On the 9th you had another chance to watch him ride shotgun with Stephen Colbert in the prototype NASA Mars rover. The show repeated his more traditional recent appearance (where he promoted his book on astrophysics and the military) on the 11th.
In other repeat news, The Late Late Show reran its last episode featuring Big Bang Theory actor and neuroscientists Mayim Bialik. She was on promoting her latest child-rearing book (informed by her neuroscience background). The repeat of the August episode aired on the 11th.
Many shows were off this past week, so the only booking from the new shows of note is Jonah Hill’s appearance on the October 11th episode of The Tonight Show. Hill is one of the clinical trial participants in the Netflix miniseries Maniac. The pharmaceutical being tested is supposed to fix all the mind’s problems.
