Actually, fun fact, while it is true that our TV and radio signals have been getting out into space (up until more recently where enhancements on how we transmit this stuff keeps it closer to Earth), little of it is sent in a compressed enough of a stream that by the time it reaches another star system that could have life in it, the signal has degraded to the point it would be undecipherable from the natural background noise of the universe.

Presumably Harrell is a Letterman fan seeing as Dave coined the term space monkey as a generic for aliens
