There will always be a specific group of people - chiefly anyone who came of age between 1993 and 2000 - that will fondly remember Bill Nye, the Science Guy, the lovable character that educator and comedian Bill Nye created on a Seattle-based sketch comedy show in the 1980s. Nye is an irrepressible scientist, teacher, and entertainer who has built a lengthy career out of having fun with science. He might have branched off in other directions throughout his career, but the spirit of his blue-jacketed character has always been present.
