Aaron Tveit stopped by last night's LATE SHOW to talk about his new sci-fi CBS series BRAINDEAD, and revealed his own fear of alien abduction. Later, the GREASE LIVE star tells Stephen what it's like preparing to present at the Tonys. "It's kind of a crazy thing", shares Tveit. "When you start working in the theater you watch the Tony Awards, and then this thing happens where you go, 'oh, I know people performing in the Tonys', and then you're in a show and your show's nominated and then you get to perform, and now I'm presenting. It's just very surreal." Watch the appearance below!

Tveit will soon be seen in the upcoming feature films "Stereotypically You" and "Undrafted." This summer, he will be featured in the network thriller "Braindead" on CBS.
