In this video clip, comedian Colbert gives SETI man Seth Shostak, a self-professed "alien hunter" as per his latest book title, a hard time (and, frankly, deservedly so). "How many alien head do you have on your wall of your den?" "They may not exist, in which case your life is meaningless." "Why search for another thing to bum me out?" And to Colbert's question: "Any nibbles?" Shostak replies: "It's either it or not it, and so far it's been not it."
