It was advertised in the program as "Planetary classification", scheduled to run from 6:30 to 8. What we got was a verbal smackdown between Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye, Science Guy. And I smoozed with Alan Stern, PI on the Pluto Express mission.

The whole thing was webcast, they said it was on "ustream", but I don't know where since I don't use ustream.

The smackdown came in the question and answer period, when Bill Nye tweaked Tyson for saying "Trans Neptunian object", instead of "ultra neptunian object".
