These include fashion model Karlie Kloss, science YouTuber and educator Derek Muller, comedian Nazeem Hussain, comedian and writer Joanna Hausmann, and the TV host and producer Emily Calandrelli.[3][4] The show also features guest appearances from Zach Braff, Desiigner, Donald Faison, Rachel Bloom, Gus Sorola, Geoff Ramsey, Joel McHale, Wil Wheaton, Martin Starr, Jonna Mae,[5] Steve Aoki, and Tim Gunn.[6] The thirteen-episode series premiered on April 21, 2017.[6] The show's theme song was produced by Tyler, The Creator.[7]

Critical response

The Rotten Tomatoes critics rating gave it a 75%, until April 28, 2017.[8]

NPR said the show is fun to watch, working well from Nye's consistent reliance on scientific and provable facts.[9] Vox praised Nye's unapologetic talking style, though worried this may alienate some viewers.[10] Gizmodo was more negative, claiming that the tone is too harsh and the content uninformative.[11] The Independent mentioned that the show "jumps the shark" with a "cringeworthy" 'My Sex Junk' skit."[12]

The show has received an overwhelmingly negative response from viewers. Currently, it has a 1.9 out of 10 user score on Metacritic, indicating "overwhelming dislike". [13]
