William Sanford Nye (born Nov 27, 1955),[iv] popularly known as Bill Nye the Science Guy, is an American mechanical engineer, science communicator, and television presenter. He is best known as the host of the science television testify Bill Nye the Scientific discipline Guy (1993–1999), the Netflix show Bill Nye Saves the Globe (2017–2018), and for his many appearances in popular media as a science educator.

Built-in in Washington, D.C., Nye began his career as a mechanical engineer for Boeing in Seattle, where he invented a hydraulic resonance suppressor tube used on 747 airplanes. In 1986, he left Boeing to pursue comedy—writing and performing for the local sketch television show Almost Live!, where he regularly conducted wacky science experiments.

Aspiring to become the adjacent Mr. Wizard, Nye successfully pitched the children's television program Neb Nye the Science Guy to Seattle's public television station, KCTS-TV. The show—which proudly proclaimed in its theme song that "science rules!"—ran from 1993 to 1998 in national TV syndication.

Nye continued to advocate for science, becoming the CEO of The Planetary Gild. He has written two bestselling books on science: Undeniable: Evolution and the Scientific discipline of Creation (2014) and Unstoppable: Harnessing Science to Alter the World (2015). He has appeared frequently on other Tv set shows, including Dancing with the Stars, The Big Bang Theory, and Inside Amy Schumer.[6] He starred in a documentary most his life and science advocacy, Bill Nye: Science Guy, which premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival in March 2017; and, in October 2017, was named a NYT Critic's Pick.[1] In 2017, the Netflix serial Nib Nye Saves the World debuted, and ran for iii seasons until 2018.

Early life and career

Nye as a senior in high school, 1973

Nye was born Nov 27, 1955,[7] [eight] in Washington, D.C., to Jacqueline Jenkins (1921–2000), who was a codebreaker during Globe War II, and Edwin Darby "Ned" Nye (1917–1997), who also served in World State of war Two and worked every bit a contractor edifice an airstrip on Wake Island.[9] Ned was captured and spent four years in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp; living without electricity or watches, he learned how to tell time using the shadow of a shovel handle, spurring his passion for sundials.[9] [ten] [11] [12] Jenkins-Nye was among a small aristocracy group of young women known every bit "Goucher Girls", alumnae of Goucher College in Towson, Maryland, whom the Navy enlisted to help crack codes used by Japan and Deutschland. "She wasn't Rosie the Riveter, she was Rosie the Top-Cloak-and-dagger Code Billow", Nye recalls. "People would ask her what she did during World War 2 and she'd say, 'I can't talk nigh information technology, ha ha ha!'"[13]

Nye attended Lafayette Simple Schoolhouse and Alice Deal Junior High before attending Sidwell Friends for high school on a scholarship, graduating in 1973.[14] [xv] He moved to Ithaca, New York to nourish Cornell University and study at the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Technology. His enthusiasm for science deepened later on he took an astronomy class with Carl Sagan.[sixteen] He graduated with a BS in mechanical applied science in 1977.[17]

After graduating from Cornell, Nye worked as an engineer for the Boeing Corporation and Sundstrand Data Control most Seattle. At Boeing, he invented a hydraulic resonance suppressor tube used on Boeing 747 airplanes.[18] He applied four times, unsuccessfully, for NASA's astronaut training program.[19]

Comedy

Nye started doing standup comedy after winning a Steve Martin lookalike competition in 1978.[xx] Nye's friends asked him to do Steve Martin impressions at parties, and he discovered how much he enjoyed making people laugh. He began moonlighting as a comedian while working at Boeing.[21] He has stated, "At this point in our story, I was working on business concern jet navigation systems, laser gyroscope systems during the twenty-four hours, and I'd take a nap and go do stand up-upward comedy by night."[21]

He too participated in Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, and volunteered at the Pacific Science Center on weekends as a "Science Explainer".[20]

Nye quit his chore at Boeing on October 3, 1986, to focus on his burgeoning comedy career.[21]

During Nye'south 10-year higher reunion in 1987, he went to great lengths to meet with Carl Sagan at Cornell. Sagan's assistant told Nye, "Okay, y'all tin can talk to him for five minutes." In their meeting at the space sciences building, Nye explained that he was interested in developing a science tv set programme. "I mentioned how I planned to talk about bridges and bicycles and then on—stuff that, as an engineer, I'd been interested in—and [Sagan] said, 'Focus on pure science. Kids resonate to pure science rather than engineering science.' And that turned out to be great advice."[22]

In 1986, Nye worked every bit a author/actor on a local sketch comedy television evidence in Seattle chosen Near Live!. He first got his big suspension on the show from John Keister who met him during an open mic night.[23] Afterwards a guest canceled, cohost Ross Shafer told Nye he had seven minutes of programming to fill. "Why don't y'all do that scientific discipline stuff?" Shafer suggested.[24] Nye entertained audiences with comical demonstrations, including what happened when you ate a marshmallow that had been dipped in liquid nitrogen.[25] His other main recurring role on About Live! was as Speed Walker, a speedwalking Seattle superhero "who fights offense while maintaining strict adherence to the regulations of the international speedwalking association."[xx]

A famous incident on the show led to Nye's stage proper name. He corrected Keister on his pronunciation of the word "gigawatt", and Keister responded, "Who practice you think you are—Bill Nye the Scientific discipline Guy?"[26] Nye'due south science experiments resonated with viewers, and the local affiliate of the National Academy of Tv set Arts and Sciences awarded him a talent Emmy for one of his segments.[27]

Even though Nye was regular on Well-nigh Live!, he was only doing freelance piece of work for the program.[28] While looking for more Tv gigs, he got the opportunity in 1989 to host Fabulous Wetlands, a short educational show about Washington's wetlands, sponsored past the Washington State Department of Ecology.[28] On Fabulous Wetlands, Nye explained the importance of preserving estuaries, and the hazards of pollution.[29] The show was, in many ways, a model for Nye's later show, with "zany photographic camera cuts paired with Nye's humor" that set information technology autonomously from other scientific broadcasts.[28] Nye presently got more than offers to appear on nationally broadcast programs, including eight segments of the Disney Channel's All-New Mickey Mouse Order.[27]

Following his stint on Almost Live!, from 1991 to 1993 Nye appeared on live-action educational segments of Back to the Future: The Blithe Series, assisting Dr. Emmett Brown (played by Christopher Lloyd).[30]
