National Geographic Channel has pulled its long-running
Neil deGrasse Tyson chat show “
StarTalk” off the air, at least for now, following allegations of sexual misconduct against the famed astrophysicist. “
StarTalk” will remain on hiatus as a
Fox Networks Group investigation into the multiple claims continues.
“In order to allow the investigation to occur unimpeded we chose to hold new episodes of ‘Star Talk’ until it is complete,” a
Nat Geo rep told
Variety. “We expect that to happen in the next few weeks at which time we’ll make a final decision.”
“
StarTalk” returned for its fifth season in November
