Everyone’s favourite “Science Guy,” Bill Nye, is the newest celebrity addition to the new season of DANCING WITH THE STARS.
The dancing show begins its 17th season soon and Nye is one of twelve celebrities who will be taking the stage. The inclusion of the famous children’s show star is a surprise, but Bill Nye reveals that it’s all in the name if science.
“In order for us to carry out our mission to get the world — our world — excited about and supportive of space exploration, we need to engage people everywhere. The show is watched by millions. I’ll be there as your CEO of The Planetary Society and a student of Carl Sagan,” he explained in a blog post.
Bill Nye has been entertaining and educating kids for years and now we’ll get to see a whole new side to the kooky scientist. Hopefully, he’ll be bringing along his awesome bow ties as well as his dance moves!
