Did anyone see the episode of Family Feud where the Neil DeGrasse Tyson family appeared?

Evidently one of Neil’s daughters is named Miranda, after one of the moons around Uranus.

Steve Harvey and he almost came to fisticuffs over the pronunciation of the name of the planet.

I was laughing so hard, I’m sure it could be heard all the way to ....Neptune.

Anyone who pronounces it UR enes (an invention of Carl Sagan, as far as I’ve been able to figure out) is just an anus lacking even a rudimentary knowledge of Greek myths and pron. It doesn’t surprise me that the nitwit DGT says it wrong.

Fry: Oh, man, this is great! Hey, as long as you don’t make me smell Uranus.
[He laughs.]
Leela: I don’t get it.
Farnsworth: I’m sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all..
Fry: Oh. What’s it called now?
Farnsworth: Urectum.

If you look very closely at Rigel with a high powered telescope, you may be able to see the Starship Enterprise, which spends a lot of time in that system.
