I am generally open to him and his views. I get tired of hearing things that only confirm my own worldview. While I agree with him sometimes, he is just as often challenging to me.
That said, I've been finding his whole recent "kids these days are awful" schtick really tiresome. It feels like an old man shaking a fist at the sky. I have lots to complain about Gen Zs and Millennials but I feel like he is really out of his depth. Every generation thinks their kids are awful.
I quite like him and his show real time. Don't always agree with him and he often has very insufferable guests on the show, but overall it's way worth watching.
I vaguely remember something like that. But he has comedy segments on his show. That sound like something from "I don't know it for a fact, I just know it's true". Which is a fromat which can very easily be taken out of context.
But I'm not sure. Do you know which episode it was in?
I don't hate bill nye, but i definitely don't like him. I didn't grow up watching his show, because i'm not american, but i watched his netflix show where he comes off as a know it all cunt who doesn't even let people talk when he disagrees and treats people like idiots who have other opinions. And i say that as someone who agrees with most of his ideas.
Purely from description I'm sure that they meant Neil deGrasse Tyson. No self describing scientist should ever be as smug and full of themself as he is.
I thought he was funny in the 90's. I saw a newer stand up special he did a couple years ago and was totally turned off by his views and the fact that not one of his jokes were actually funny.
Same with Dennis Miller.
I've been told when I went to bitch about that special on Reddit that he was only funny before because he wasn't writing his own jokes, and I'm not sure if that is actually true but it would make sense.
