Bill Nye is a skinny entertainer that has a BS degree in engineering, and nothing more.
The extent of his professional involvement in a scientific field was limited ASSISTING with the development of a small sundial that was used in the Mars Rover Expedition.
He has a patent for ballet shoes (yes, ballet shoes) and for a magnifying glass that's essentially just a balloon filled with water.
Nye has a few "honorary degrees" that of course are not the equivalent of an academic degree of any kind.
He was a contestant of Dancing with the Stars He suffered a quad injury that science wasn't able to patch up good enough for him to continue impersonating a dancer.
