Absolutely. It was a joke in terrible taste. But… you can’t hit people because they made you mad. That’s still assault.

LOL, congrats on discovering Wikipedia. Maybe learn to check out more than one link before you make dumbass comments based on the assumption that the first Google result tells you everything you need to know.

He worked for Boeing and invented a new hydraulic resonance suppressor for 747s while there. While working there, he started doing stand-up, and appeared on some local-access comedy shows before he got his own show that eventually became Bill Nye the Science Guy.

How dare you, sir! My art is not driven by such cynical motivations!
