Dude who acts like a creep in public, ain't going to be acting any better in private.
All we can go on is that he's been cleared and that multiple corporations are okay with having him back. He also issued a formal explanation and apology.
Considering most recent cases of sexual allegations, this is probably one of the most posititve outcomes I've seen outside of James Gunn. I'm cool with him being back.

Actually, a single corporation, 21st Century Fox (soon to be Disney) majority owns National Geographic (both the magazine and the cable network), from my understanding, the National Geographic Society doesn't have a day-to-day say in the operations of the magazine and cable networks once they sold off both to 21st Century Fox who created a joint venture where Fox owns 73% of the entire venture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Geographic_Partners
Doesn't Fox have for years News pundits that were well known for their sexual harassment cases. I'm not sure how much being cleared by them is even worth.
Would you trust them if it was time he other way around. If they found more allegations through investigation would you trust what they have found or doubt it because it's them?
My opinion though is they should be very open and detailed about their investigation. And if you are going to bring him back you should say these women or lying or we didn't find any truth to their allegations. This right here sounds like they paid them to go away and never mention this again and here we are.
Whatever. He's still a relentlessly smug dickhead that rains pedantic misery everywhere he goes, whether or not he's a sex pest.
I figured this would be the reason he would return to them, not to dissapear from them.
Unknown what Colbert will do, as he has been silent since the first allegation.
Wouldn't they have mentioned it in the press release though? Perhaps suggesting that there isn't enough evidence doesn't come across great in the release.
Very much into that idea. I love Cosmos quite a bit and would love to see other hosts.
(Professor) Brian Cox is still the GOAT. If he took over you could say that things would only get better...
Assuming he's innocent or at least just a low grade social incompetent - he should never be allowed to moderate a panel ever again.
Neil, your job as moderator is to ask Mr. Hawking about black hole radiation not interrupt him and then explain it for twenty minutes only to have to be corrected on specifics.
The stuff he does at the BBC is better produced than Cosmos. He's got something new in post production now I believe.
Anyone with an interest in Cosmos should really watch Wonders of the Solar System and Wonders of the Universe.
Cox is a FANTASTIC science educator (and an honorary member of the "Brian May from Queen and Winnie From Wonder Years You Do WHAT on the Side?" Club) - potentially a David Attenborough for physics - but frankly the subject matter is just too dense and weighty to ever reach that level of mainstream popularity.
He's brilliant in everything - from late night TV interviews to serious symposiums. Unlike Tyson he lets other people talk and is great at provoking discussion and helping make opaque topics clear. The podcast he does (Infinite Monkey Cage with Robin Ince and guests) is one of the best out there, but woefully truncated and short. They edit it into a half hour which is a big mistake IMO since they barely scratch the surface of topics from how life started to the size of the universe. If you're into physics and cosmology, he's dug a fantastic rabbit hole to follow on Youtube and via the podcast. Unfortunately Tyson and Lawrence Krauss (who I used to love) have both been put on cancel watch at differing scales of severity - so basically I'm just praying Cox and Tom Hanks make it to the finish line intact.
