It’s one small step for man, and one incredible show about life, the universe, and everything NASA nerds want to know about. Tonight’s show is, you know, no big deal.

We’ve also got NASA’s latest superstar, Bobak Ferdowsi joining us to talk about launching an SUV size probe onto Mars.

Humans! Tonight’s “The Nerdist” show on BBC America is so jam packed full of amazing things that it’s leaking out of the sides and making a mess all over the floor! Get out the Sham-Wow and the wet-vac because we’re about to get beautiful all over your television set. That’s right – two of the best looking people on the planet join Chris Hardwick tonight. We’ll start with Joe Manganiello, who stars as the six foot five werewolf on “True Blood” (and yes, we’ve determined that he actually is that tall – but can he get through our revolving door?) Plus, the lovely Morena Baccarin from “Firefly” and “Homeland” joins us. We’ll enlist both of them to help us play a game called “Obscure Comic Book Character, German Restaurant, or Dinosaur?” Matt and Jonah head off once more as our Nerdist ambassadors to the United Kingdom and well-dressed comedian Paul F.

If there’s one thing all nerds have in common, it’s a deep and abiding love for science fiction. Why, some nerds love Sci-Fi so much, they would devote an entire hour of television to it. That’s right: time to set your eyeballs to “watch!” It’s “The Nerdist” Tribute to Sci-Fi, because, let’s face it, most of us would rather live in the Shire or Flotsam Paradise than in our current abode. We’ll hear from horror master Guillermo del Toro – the nicest man in Hollywood. He’s giving us the lowdown on one of the most anticipated movies of the summer, “Pacific Rim.” Also joining Chris and the gang will be the angelic Katee Sackhoff, star of “Battlestar Galactica” and “24.” We’ll find out what fictional world they’d like to dwell in and then we’ll put their knowledge of British programming to the test in the television trivia game BBC(een) It! Also, Matt Smith sends one of his battalion of mechanical clones to talk more about life as the Doctor. All that, plus an exclusive look at the supervillain version of TED Talks (aptly named ZOD Talks) and the comedic stylings of Ron Funches. This show killed at the Mos Eisley Cantina and you’ll love it too!
