Bill Nye was recently honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. On Monday, September 22, 2025, Nye received the 2,821st star in the Television category.

"The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is proud to welcome Bill Nye to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. His star is a tribute to his dedication in making science accessible and entertaining for all ages through his iconic educational show," said Ana Martinez, Walk of Fame producer in a statement.

Speaking about his achievement during the ceremony that took place at 11:30 am PT at 6357 Hollywood Boulevard, the host of Bill Nye the Science Guy stated:

"Recognition by one's peers always means a great deal, but being here in Hollywood means a great deal to people far beyond our peers in television and movies. We export our culture around the world. For me, being a permanent part of all this, of Hollywood, is quite an honor. As has been said many times, when you're in love, you want to tell the world. And I love science. I love comedy. I love television."

According to her LinkedIn profile, Liza Mundy graduated from Princeton University in 1982 with a bachelor's degree, followed by a master’s in English literature from the University of Virginia in 1989.

She has authored four books, one of which is Code Girls: The Untold Story of the American Women Code Breakers of World War II, a project that led to her meeting Bill Nye.

In her book, Mundy mentioned Nye's mother, Jacqueline Jenkins-Nye, which prompted Nye to send her an email.

Speaking about her book at the Library of Congress in 2018, Liza stated:

"When I was getting started researching Code Girls, and when I was, in fact, shopping the book proposal to editors in New York, apparently one of the editors said that he thought that it was a great story, but that he felt that it might be thin beer, because so much time had passed since World War II."

She continued:

"If there were any women codebreakers out there, they would be in their mid-90's ... maybe wouldn't remember much, maybe there wouldn't be much of a record since it was top secret work. So, I literally got up every day during my research and thought, 'I'll show you thin beer.'"

Although Bill Nye and Liza Mundy maintain a private stance when it comes to their relationship, they are often seen together at public events.
