William Nye (born November 27, 1955 in Washington, D.C.)^[1] also known as "Bill Nye the Science Guy," is an American comedian, television host, science educator and mechanical engineer.

Aeronautics career

Nye began his career at Boeing where, among other things, he starred in training films and developed a hydraulic pressure resonance suppressor still used in the Boeing 747.

Later, Nye worked as a consultant and in the aeronautics industry. Nye was also a member and fellow of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry.

Nye told the St. Petersburg Times in 1999 that he applied to be a NASA astronaut every few years but was always rejected.^[2]

Entrance into entertainment

After winning a Steve Martin look-alike contest, Nye began a dual career as an engineer by day and stand-up comic by night.^[3] This eventually transitioned into an exclusive entertainment career. Nye got his television start performing on a Seattle-area sketch comedy show called Almost Live!, and appeared regularly on the show for many seasons. It was on this show that "Bill Nye the Science Guy" was born.^[3] He left the show to start producing Bill Nye the Science Guy in 1993. Once famous, Bill returned as a guest-star for an episode that opened with a skit of Nye not being recognized and having trouble entering the KING-TV building. Nye was also the assistant of Emmett "Doc" Brown in the live-action segments of Back to the Future: The Animated Series (1991–1993). In one episode, Bill corrected Doc Brown on the pronunciation of gigawatt (not jigawatt), only for Doc Brown to fire back with "Who are you, Bill Nye the science guy?"

Nye appeared in a series of segments on Almost Live!, a local Seattle television show which aired on NBC affiliate KING-TV (channel 5) immediately before Saturday Night Live. It was in these appearances that he was first called "The Science Guy."

Nye later hosted the educational television program Bill Nye the Science Guy from 1993 to 1997. Each episode (100 in all) aimed to teach a specific topic in science to a preteen audience, yet it garnered a wide adult audience as well. The show was somewhat popular as a school resource and is still used to this day. He has written several books as The Science Guy. In addition to hosting the show, he was also a writer and producer for it.

Bill Nye has appeared alongside Ellen DeGeneres, and Alex Trebek in Universe of Energy, an attraction playing since 1996 inside Epcot at Walt Disney World.

Post Science Guy career

Nye remained interested in science education through entertainment. He created a PBS KCTS-TV 13-episode series about science, called The Eyes of Nye, aimed at older audiences than his previous show. Airing in 2005, it often featured episodes based on politically relevant themes such as genetically modified food, global warming, and race. Nye held the boom microphone during four episodes of Popular Mechanics for Kids, a Canadian-produced show that debuted after his series ended.

Nye played the role of a science teacher in Disney's Principal Takes a Holiday. Though a small role, Nye goes on to make a hovercraft to demonstrate science in an unusual classroom manner. Nye has guest starred in several episodes of the crime drama Numb3rs as an engineering faculty member. In 2004 & 2005, Bill Nye hosted 100 Greatest Discoveries, an award-winning series produced by THINKFilm for Discovery Channel-spinoff The Science Channel and in high definition on the Discovery HD Theater.

From 2000 to 2002, Nye was the technical expert in BattleBots.

Nye was a regular in TV Land discussions. He has also made guest appearances on the VH1 reality show America's Most Smartest Model.^[4]

Nye also appears in segments of The Climate Code on The Weather Channel (United States) telling his personal ways of saving energy. He still makes regular appearances on the show, often asking quiz questions.

Life outside television

In the early 2000s, Nye assisted in the development of a small sundial that was included in the Mars Exploration Rover missions. Known as MarsDial, it included small colored panels to provide a basis for color calibration in addition to helping keep track of time.^[5] Nye was also the vice president of the Planetary Society, an organization that advocates space science research and the exploration of other planets, particularly Mars.

He held several patents, including one for ballet shoes^[6] and another for a magnifying glass that used water.^[7]

From 2001-2006 Nye served as Frank H.T. Rhodes Class of '56 University Professor at Cornell University. He has received two honorary doctorates, one from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and another from Goucher College.

Nye announced his engagement during an appearance on Craig Ferguson's Late Late Show, and was married to his fiancée of five months, Blair Tindall, author of Mozart in the Jungle: Sex, Drugs, and Classical Music, on February 3, 2006. The ceremony was performed by Rick Warren at The Entertainment Gathering, which took place at the Skirball Center for the Performing Arts in Los Angeles.^[8] Yo-Yo Ma provided the music.^[8] Nye left the relationship seven weeks later when the marriage license was declared invalid; their impromptu ceremony that preceded the license purchase violated California state law, said Tindall in a radio interview. [1]

When Pluto was reclassified from a planet to a dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union in 2006, Nye came out in favor of the change.^[9]

Nye also narrates an audio tour for The Sagan Planet Walk, a walking scale model of the solar system in Ithaca, NY. The model begins at the Ithaca Commons and ends at the Sciencenter. The audio tour can be heard online, or reached at the telephone number 703 637-6237.

As of July 2007, Nye and environmental activist Ed Begley, Jr. are engaging in a friendly competition "to see who could have the lowest carbon footprint," according to Begley.^[10]

Cultural references

In 2000, The Onion, a popular parody newspaper, published an article regarding Nye's accidental death during a large scale baking soda and vinegar volcano experiment.^[11] (See: common experiments) Although this has been repeated numerous times, it is untrue.
Punk rock group NOFX mentions Bill Nye in the lyrics of the song "Leaving Jesusland": "The fear-stricken, born-again Christian,/ They got a vision a homogenized state/ Textbook decline, Intelligent Design/ They got Bill Nye on the list to execrate."

+'''William Nye''' (born [[November 27]], [[1955]] in [[Washington, D.C.]])<ref>Bill Info page on http://www.billnye.com</ref> also known as "'''Bill Nye the Science Guy'''," is an [[United States|American]] [[comedian]], [[Television program|television host]], [[Science education|science educator]] and [[mechanical engineer]].
+==Aeronautics career==
+Nye began his career at Boeing where, among other things, he starred in training films and developed a [[hydraulic pressure]] resonance suppressor still used in the [[Boeing 747]].
+Later, Nye worked as a [[consultant]] and in the [[aeronautics]] industry. Nye was also a member and fellow of the [[Committee for Skeptical Inquiry]].
+Nye told the ''[[St. Petersburg Times]]'' in 1999 that he applied to be a [[NASA]] [[astronaut]] every few years but was always rejected.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.sptimes.com/News/101199/news_pf/Floridian/Bill_Nye__the_success.shtml | title=Bill Nye, the successful guy | last=Davis | first=Pamela | date=[[11 October]] [[1999]] | publisher=''[[St. Petersburg Times]]'' | accessdate=2008-01-26}}</ref>
+==Entrance into entertainment==
+After winning a [[Steve Martin]] look-alike contest, Nye began a dual career as an engineer by day and [[Stand-up comedy|stand-up comic]] by night.<ref name="NyeLabs">{{Citation  |last =Nye Labs  |title =Bill's Bio  |url =http://www.nyelabs.com/nye_bio.pdf  |accessdate =  2007-06-27}}</ref> This eventually transitioned into an exclusive entertainment career. Nye got his television start performing on a Seattle-area sketch comedy show called ''[[Almost Live!]]'', and appeared regularly on the show for many seasons. It was on this show that "Bill Nye the Science Guy" was born.<ref name="NyeLabs">Nye Labs bio</ref> He left the show to start producing ''[[Bill Nye the Science Guy]]'' in 1993. Once famous, Bill returned as a guest-star for an episode that opened with a skit of Nye not being recognized and having trouble entering the [[KING-TV]] building. Nye was also the assistant of [[Emmett Brown|Emmett "Doc" Brown]] in the live-action segments of ''[[Back to the Future: The Animated Series]]'' (1991&ndash;1993). In one episode, Bill corrected Doc Brown on the pronunciation of [[giga-|gigawatt]] (not ''jigawatt''), only for Doc Brown to fire back with "Who are you, Bill Nye the ''science guy?''"

+{{main|Bill Nye the Science Guy}}
+[[Image:Science rules.jpg|thumb|right|Nye's [[catchphrase]] on the show, shown here on a t-shirt.]]
+Nye appeared in a series of segments on ''[[Almost Live!]]'', a local Seattle television show which aired on [[NBC]] affiliate [[KING-TV]] (channel 5) immediately before ''[[Saturday Night Live]]''. It was in these appearances that he was first called "The Science Guy."
+Nye later hosted the educational [[television program]] ''[[Bill Nye the Science Guy]]'' from 1993 to 1997.  Each episode (100 in all) aimed to teach a specific topic in [[science]] to a [[preteen]] audience, yet it garnered a wide adult audience as well.  The show was somewhat popular as a school resource and is still used to this day.  He has written several books as ''The Science Guy''. In addition to hosting the show, he was also a writer and [[television producer|producer]] for it.
+Bill Nye has appeared alongside [[Ellen DeGeneres]], and [[Alex Trebek]] in [[Universe of Energy]], an attraction playing since 1996 inside [[Epcot]] at [[Walt Disney World]].
+==Post ''Science Guy'' career==
+Nye remained interested in science education through entertainment. He created a [[PBS]] [[KCTS-TV]] 13-episode series about science, called ''[[The Eyes of Nye]]'', aimed at older audiences than his previous show. Airing in 2005, it often featured episodes based on politically relevant themes such as [[genetically modified food]], [[global warming]], and [[race]]. Nye held the boom [[microphone]] during four episodes of ''[[Popular Mechanics for Kids]]'', a Canadian-produced show that debuted after his series ended.
+Nye played the role of a science teacher in Disney's ''Principal Takes a Holiday''. Though a small role, Nye goes on to make a [[hovercraft]] to demonstrate science in an unusual classroom manner. Nye has guest starred in several episodes of the crime drama ''[[Numb3rs]]'' as an engineering faculty member.  In 2004 & 2005, Bill Nye hosted ''100 Greatest Discoveries'', an award-winning series produced by [[THINKFilm]] for [[Discovery Channel]]-spinoff [[The Science Channel]] and in high definition on the [[Discovery HD Theater]].
+From 2000 to 2002, Nye was the technical expert in ''[[BattleBots]]''.
+Nye was a regular in [[TV Land]] discussions. He has also made guest appearances on the [[VH1]] reality show ''[[America's Most Smartest Model]]''.<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0638557/ IMDB.com: Bill Nye]</ref>
+Nye also appears in segments of ''The Climate Code'' on [[The Weather Channel (United States)]] telling his personal ways of saving energy. He still makes regular appearances on the show, often asking quiz questions.
+==Life outside television==
+In the early 2000s, Nye assisted in the development of a small [[sundial]] that was included in the [[Mars Exploration Rover]] missions. Known as [[MarsDial]], it included small colored panels to provide a basis for [[color calibration]] in addition to helping keep track of time.<ref>Friend, T. ([[2004 January 5]]). The sun on Mars. In ''The talk of the town''. ''The New Yorker, LXXIX'', 27.</ref> Nye was also the vice president of the [[Planetary Society]], an organization that advocates [[space science]] research and the exploration of other planets, particularly [[Mars]].
+He held several [[patent]]s, including one for [[ballet shoes]]<ref>http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/television/2002252736_nye26.html</ref> and another for a [[magnifying glass]] that used [[water]].<ref>http://www.news.uiuc.edu/NEWS/02/0219billnye.html</ref>
+From 2001-2006 Nye served as [[Frank H.T. Rhodes]] Class of '56 University Professor at Cornell University. He has received two [[honorary doctorate]]s, one from [[Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute]] and another from [[Goucher College]].
+Nye announced his engagement during an appearance on [[Craig Ferguson]]'s Late Late Show, and was married to his fiancée of five months, [[Blair Tindall]], author of [http://www.mozartinthejungle.com ''Mozart in the Jungle: Sex, Drugs, and Classical Music''], on [[February 3]], [[2006]]. The ceremony was performed by [[Rick Warren]] at The Entertainment Gathering, which took place at the Skirball Center for the Performing Arts in [[Los Angeles]].<ref name="NyeMarriage">{{Citation  |last =MSNBC  |title =Bill Nye, the Science Guy, gets hitched  |url =http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11226109/  |accessdate =  2007-10-12}}</ref> [[Yo-Yo Ma]] provided the music.<ref name="NyeMarriage"/>  Nye left the relationship seven weeks later when the marriage license was declared invalid; their impromptu ceremony that preceded the license purchase violated California state law, said Tindall in a radio interview. [http://www.wchl1360.com/mp3/dgpodcast/WhosTalking010708.mp3]
+When [[Pluto]] was [[2006 definition of planet|reclassified]] from a [[planet]] to a [[dwarf planet]] by the [[International Astronomical Union]] in 2006, Nye came out in favor of the change.<ref>[http://abcnews.go.com/ThisWeek/Science/story?id=2362119 "'Science Guy' Likes Pluto Change"], ABC News, 27 August 2006.</ref>
+Nye also narrates an audio tour for The [[Carl Sagan|Sagan]] Planet Walk, a walking scale model of the solar system in [[Ithaca, NY]]. The model begins at the [[Ithaca Commons]] and ends at the [http://www.sciencenter.org/ Sciencenter]. The audio tour can be heard [http://www.sciencenter.org/saganpw/podcast.asp online], or reached at the telephone number 703 637-6237.
+As of July 2007, Nye and environmental activist [[Ed Begley, Jr.]] are engaging in a friendly competition "to see who could have the lowest carbon footprint," according to Begley.<ref>ABC News: Actor and 'Science-Guy' in Enviro-Smackdown  http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/story?id=3413135&page=1</ref>
+==Cultural references==
+*In 2000, ''[[The Onion]]'', a popular [[parody]] [[newspaper]], published an article regarding Nye's accidental death during a large scale [[baking soda]] and [[vinegar]] volcano experiment.<ref>http://www.theonion.com/content/node/28326</ref>  (See: [[common experiments]])  Although this has been repeated numerous times, it is untrue.
+*Punk rock group [[NOFX]] mentions Bill Nye in the lyrics of the song "Leaving Jesusland": "The fear-stricken, born-again Christian,/ They got a vision a homogenized state/ Textbook decline, Intelligent Design/ They got Bill Nye on the list to execrate."
