Hawking was beloved by the Simpsons writers, one of whom tweeted out a touching tribute to the late physicist.
8. The time he weighed in on the drama surrounding One Direction.
7. When he got a laugh out of Jim Carrey.
6. When he tried his hand at stand-up comedy (or sit-down comedy).
5. When he leant his voice to this Little Britain sketch.
4. When he offered his unvarnished thoughts on Brexit.
3. And the rest of that brilliant interview with John Oliver.
2. When deadpanned this nerdy knee-slapper.
