Larry Wilmore challenged Neil deGrasse Tyson to a nerd-off

In a nerdy showdown between Comedy Central’s Larry Wilmore and everyone’s favorite scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson, you might be shocked by who comes out on top.

Wilmore faced Tyson in a “Blerd-Off”—that's a Black Nerd-Off—backstage at his show. While the topics seem right up Tyson’s alley, the actual questions were perhaps weighted more for the talk show host.

OK, so the space questions were about Space Jam, and the math questions were about Los Angeles sports teams. But you’d think Tyson would have at least some pop culture knowledge to take down Wilmore.
