Travis was eliminated in the July 3 episode.
Gabriel had a hunch and went for it in the second episode of Claim To Fame season 2. Gabriel chose Travis as his target for the guess-off. He managed to stay in the competition after guessing Travis’ claim to fame and exposing his identity. Travis confirmed that Neil deGrasse Tyson is his father, and Neil even sent in a special video.
“Travis, both your mother and I are proud of you. We’ll see you back at the ranch,” Neil said. Travis added, “It’s not every day you get to meet a famous scientist. He brings knowledge to people, brings them new facts, and brings the universe down to Earth, and we can all come out of this a little bit brighter.”
Travis is Neil deGrasse Tyson’s son.
Travis is the youngest child of Neil deGrasse Tyson and his wife, Alice Young. Travis has an older sister named Miranda. Neil and Alice have been married since 1988.

Before Travis left the Claim To Fame house after his elimination, Franklin Jonas took the opportunity to tell Travis just how much he admires his father. “Your father is a personal hero of mine. I always wanted to study astrophysics as a result of your father’s work,” Franklin said. “It is an incredible honor.”
