"Xmastime Likes This"

As you already know I loves me some Neil deGrasse Tyson, so i was thrilled to see him being interviewed by Stephen Colbert (NOT in his "character.")

Almost 90 minutes! We need more thoughtful, intelligent, extended interviews like this one, such as the classic Craig Ferguson/Stephen Fry one a while back.  Unless it's The Charlie Rose Show every tv interview is some 4-minute hyper-rushed vomit of talking points/selling something.

Too many great lines to choose from, everything he says is great, but one money shot: ""It's simple, and yet it accounts for hugely complex things."

Also, his Titanic/James Cameron rant is an all-time classic.  Awesome.
