Stephen Colbert is still hoping that NASA will name a new room, at the international space station, after him.
The space agency said on Friday they would announce the name of the module on Tuesday while appearing on Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report.” Astronaut Sunita Williams will appear on the show.
The agency held an online contest, to see what the public would vote on a name for a future addition to the station. “Colbert” disliked NASA’s four suggested options: Serenity, Legacy, Earthrise and Venture.
Stephen Colbert said in a statement: “I certainly hope NASA does the right thing. Just kidding. I hope they name it after me.”
