    Admittedly, I never watched Bill Nye Saves the World, so I don’t know firsthand how egotistical (or otherwise) he was. But still, that title alone says something…

    I did watch the obscure Planet Green show Living with Ed, however, in which Bill Nye was portrayed as the rival/antagonist and kind of an asshole. Who knows how much that was being played up for the camera, though.

      Bill’s TV career started in sketch comedy (hence me being unable to take him seriously), so I wouldn’t be shocked if it was played up for the cameras.
