Bill Nye is celebrating his 70th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed comedians of his generation.

Popular comedian-television host-scientist Bill Nye (Bill Nye the Science Guy, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 70th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Nye, a cultural icon

Born William Sanford Nye in Washington, D.C. on November 27, 1955, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Nye's not just a great comedian, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Bill hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Bill Nye as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 70.

Happy Birthday, Bill, you're the best!
