The science educator and comedian was honored during a ceremony on Monday.
He continued, "I love science. I love comedy. I love television, which was invented with science. Science is the best idea humans have ever had. I became a mechanical engineer because of it, and then entered the world of comedy too, which led me to my show that gave me the opportunity to teach so many people about the life changing world of science."

Celtics Star Plays Critical Role in Bill Nye's Hollywood Walk of Fame Honor
Patrick Warren
At Bill Nye's Hollywood Walk of Fame induction, a member of the Boston Celtics made a surprise appearance as a guest speaker for the former Boeing engineer and television icon's special day.
Celtics star Jaylen Brown spoke on the inspiration Nye served for millions of young students across the world, including himself.
What an honor it is to speak on the life and legacy of Bill Nye the Science Guy," Brown said with a smile. "My love for science runs deep and I have Bill to thank for that. But not just for myself, but for a generation of students who grew up in the public school system, possibly thinking that school was not for them. Bill was the bright spot in all of our days. When they rolled the TV out on the trolley, we knew what time it was. But Bill did not just teach science, he taught a generation of students of all walks of life to explore, to discover, to create and also to ask questions."

hearing them shout along with the intro: Bill Nye the Science Guy! Bill! Bill! Bill! He made Science fun and joyfully informative.

Haven't seen him for quite a while now (10 years?).
Fun fact for you: he's a baseball fanatic. He loves his Mariners, even though he doesn't live in Seattle anymore.
