It's Neil deGrasse Tyson and Stephen Colbert, together again, on this video about Pluto from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jXazEYi3P8
Stephen Colbert and Neil deGrasse Tyson have great chemistry.
The thing they don't mention about the whole pluto-is-a-dwarf-planet thing is that if you categorise Pluto as a Planet then the number of planets we have in our solar system immediately goes up by 5 (not 1), according to the IAU, with dozens more already known but not yet accepted by bureaucracy, and with an estimated 10,000 more to be added as we find and categorise them (about 200 in the Kuiper belt, and the rest beyond). I don't understand why all the people who want Pluto categorised as a planet never mention Eris (heavier than Pluto and around the same diameter), or Ceres (closer to us than Jupiter), or any of the other named ones.

YES!!! Stephen Colbert interviews Neil deGrasse Tyson on Pluto. <3
Goddammit, even Pluto has a girlfriend. Forever alone.
There is something really comfy about the two of them talking, laughing and eating Klondike bars that it just makes me happy.

Charon is a male in the legend. An it's pronounced "Karon".
Colbert to Neil deGrasse Tyson: "Pluto even has a heart — unlike you."
