Cosmic Entertainer
The late Johnny Carson hosted guests from all walks of life on his late night television show, including two noted astronomers.

Also, I've learned third-hand from an e-mail that his New York Times obit contained an example of an astronomical side of his humor:
Once he was asked how he became a star, and he replied, "I started in a gaseous state, and then I cooled."
