Al Gore and Bill Nye
Bill Nye is a scientist, engineer, comedian, author and inventor whose mission is making science entertaining and accessible. His fascination with how things work led him to Cornell University and a degree in Mechanical Engineering. After graduation, he headed for Seattle to work as an engineer at Boeing. It was in Seattle that Nye began to combine his love of science with his flair for comedy. Nye, eventually, quit his engineering day job and made the transition to a night job as a comedy writer and performer on Seattle’s home-grown ensemble comedy show “Almost Live.”

While working on the Science Guy show, Nye won seven national Emmy Awards for writing, performing and producing. The show won 18 Emmys in five years. He has written five kids’ book

She tells people to get off their ‘soapbox’, declaring ‘sex how you want: it’s your goddamn right!’
In the other video from the show, much the same message—that there are ‘lots of flavours to sexuality’—is communicated using anthropomorphized ice creams.
