As an aside, I really hope he gets Eugene Mirman on there. Their chemistry on Startalk is perfect.

That's the thing, he was no prodigy, Carl is just that awesome. As I recal Tyson wanted to go to Stanford and Carl offered to show him around, on his free time, on the weekend no less.
The thing I keep hearing about those who met Carl is his willingness to do good things for people, and how he had zero ego about his fame.
