Mike Judge is ensuring the satirical nature of his show Silicon Valley hits as close to home as it possibly can.

Dick Costolo, who ran in the sort of tech circles that the show sends up on every episode, now has plot and story run by him for authenticity purposes at the Silicon Valley writers’ room. In a way, it’s as almost if he’s a Neil DeGrasse Tyson for the shows portrayal of tech corporate culture.

Just like people can’t believe the source material that Another Period is actually based on, we’re sure Costolo will also bring something that shows life is stranger and probably funnier than fiction.

As the very first images of Pluto came in yesterday, Stephen Colbert was amazed at its surface as well as the idea that it’s no longer a planet.

In fact, he summoned Neil DeGrasse Tyson to try really understand why Pluto isn’t getting the love it deserves.

Watch it here.

Oh, in case you haven’t figured it out, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert looks like it’ll be pretty great.

The host of StarTalk vs. the host of The Nightly Show? Who would win in a trivia contest? 

We guess it would depend who is a guest on which show.

While Neil deGrasse Tyson is the face of space exploration and often corrects pop culture in misrepresentation of outer space, Larry Wilmore is wildly clever as the host of The Nightly Show.

See who gets the edge in here (hint: this is a segment for The Nightly Show).
