10 Stephen Hawking cameos in pop culture
professor Stephen Hawking part
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
scouring the world of films television
music and more to find the most
hilarious appearances made by this
brilliant theoretical physicist during
his remarkable lifetime
this is dr. Hawking oh well this is mr
rudd office hours are 3:00 to 5:00 p.m.
number 10 Monty Python live mostly few
groups no comedy as well as Monty Python
so for their 2014 reunion shows at the
o2 arena they tap the best in British
wit theoretical physicist Stephen
Hawking and particle physicist Brian Cox
wait what oh they were there to talk
about the scientific validity of the
Pythons galaxy song gotcha and if you’ve
ever doubted Hawking’s comedic timing
just wait till he runs Cox down and
sings the song himself Hawking jumped at
the chance to participate in this event
as he was a huge fan of Python and
obviously the galaxy the result is an
unexpected delight intelligent
they’re bugger all down here on earth
the benign Late Night with Conan O’Brien
hello hi Steven how are you tonight yeah
you know you’re a talent when you can
upstage Jim Carrey appearing alongside
carrion Conan’s first late night show
Stephen Hawking once again proved that
is genius encompasses all things
including comedy Steve calls Jim up to
talk shop about the egg periodic
universe theory and insults the
intelligence of the audience in the
process yeah I know the back-and-forth
between Kerry and Hawking is filled with
great moments especially when Hawking
says he has to cut the call short to
watch the rest of Dumb and Dumber hey
even theoretical physicists need to
unwind sometimes number eight Pink
Floyd’s keep talking and talking Hawking
[Music]
Stephen Hawking rock star
stranger things have happened in the
early 90s Hawking appeared on an ad for
British Telecom in which he espoused the
virtues of communication explaining the
achievements in human history that have
been made possible by talking and
implying that discussion can solve any
problem this ad moved Pink Floyd’s David
Gilmore to tears and inspired him to
sample Hawking’s voice and message on
the 1994 album the Division Bell for the
track keep talking this poignant message
resonated with Gilmour so much he
revisited the same sample again 20 years
later on the endless rivers talking
Hawking
number seven Stephen Hawking’s new voice
professor Hawking had one of the most
unique and recognizable voices in the
world sort of while it wasn’t exactly as
voice but that computerized voice box is
familiar to millions are you occurring
me even so in this 2017 Red Nose Day
sketch Hawking is in search of a new
sound listen I think my voice would
endow your presence with an enormous
Authority what follows is a veritable
who’s who of celebrity auditions from
the likes of Liam Neeson and rebel
Wilson to Simon Cowell and Gordon Ramsay
to Miss Piggy and even Bill Gates not a
chance
through it all Hawking is there judging
and offering up some sassy quips but in
the end he finds what he believes is the
perfect match hello my name is Stephen
Hawking number six anyone can Kuantan
what makes you well kite asleep and
quantum mechanics well I’m in Actors
Equity how do you make a quantum chess
match between Stephen Hawking and Paul
Rudd more epic than it already is get
the faces behind the Bill and Ted
franchise to direct and narrate the
resulting video footage at 12:03 p.m.
Eastern Standard Time
January 12th 2016 the battle for the
future began directed by Alex winter
this educational comedy short has Keanu
Reeves providing the voiceover while
Rudd challenges Hawking to a game using
quantum physics that may or may not
determine the fate of humankind funny
educational and overly dramatic
this Caltech sketch is most excellent
and Hawking was a key ingredient oh I
did not touch your bathtub entanglement
dr. Hawking it surrounds us and
penetrates us number five last week
tonight with John Oliver is there a
better way to inaugurate a new series of
your late-night talk show than to have
Hawking as your very first guest we
think not especially if the segment is
about great mine
the first question they asked it was
that their god computer replied there as
last week tonight is known for its
comedic and satirical elements Oliver
needed to make sure he could keep his
first people who think good interview
with Hawking both entertaining and
interesting thankfully for the host
Hawking demonstrated that he wasn’t just
a brilliant mind he could also be as
sarcastic and funny as Oliver himself
it’s a little hard to read your tone of
voice when you say that are you being
sarcastic I thought so number four
Futurama poking appeared several times
in this futuristic animated sitcom and
whether he was a literal talking head or
a member of Al Gore’s vice-presidential
action Rangers he always delivered the
laughs probably magnet shut up Hawking
throughout this series Hawking brought
plenty of science and sass to all his
scenes especially when he was forced to
interact with Philip J fry
whose intellect is just a couple of
decimal points off from his own hey
Stephen Hawking aren’t you that
physicist that invented gravity sure he
may not have been the nicest guest
character but he was definitely one of
the funniest oh and he can shoot lasers
out of his eyes
I didn’t know like what to head number
three the Big Bang Theory professor
Hawking it’s an honor and a privilege to
meet you sir
I know considering this long-running
sitcom follows a group of friends
consisting of two physicists an
astrophysicist and an aerospace engineer
it’s probably not surprising that
Hawking’s been mentioned several times
but it was only in season five that he
made the first of multiple appearances
the Hawking excitation is all about the
build-up to Sheldon meeting one of his
heroes Stephen Hawking perhaps my only
intellectual equal and when the moment
finally comes Hawking brings him down a
notch in a way the nerdy theoretical
physicist won’t soon forget
frontpage it was quite a boner though
the episode featuring how it’s
remote-controlled toy he also had its
highlights as did Hawking’s other Big
Bang Theory moments his first cameo was
arguably his most memorable oh gosh
golly I made a boo-boo and I gave it to
Stephen Hawking number twos don’t rank
the next generation I was curious to see
how three of history’s greatest minds
would interact in this setting so far it
is proved to be most illuminating
Stephen Hawking made a quick journey to
the final frontier for this cameo in a
poker game with data Einstein and Newton
Hawking proved himself to be the
smartest and funniest person in the room
as he cleaned out his opponents pockets
with a smile on his face you are
bluffing and you brick Hawking actually
made history by being the first track
guest star to appear as themselves and
in fact his season six cameo was so
anticipated that crew members who
weren’t even needed on set showed up
anyway to catch a glimpse of the genius
according to producer Rick Berman
Hawking even wrote some of his own lines
now that’s what we call making it so
number one The Simpsons
the world’s smartest man Stephen Hawking
called the Simpsons the best thing on
American television and his appearances
on the show not only earned him a cult
following
they also bridged the gap between
intellectualism and pop culture
Hawking’s flying yellow-skinned
counterpart fish showed up in
Springfield in season 10 when he tried
to save the town from some rogue Mensa
members and shared a beer with Homer
your theory of a donut universe
intriguing over I may this friend of the
show we appeared a few more times over
the years and whether he was solving
mysteries cheating his way out of a corn
maze or rapping he always proved he had
a healthy sense of humor to match his
more than healthy IQ breakdown Fermi
