NEW YORK (WTHR) — Bill Nye the Science Guy might be in line for a few new modeling gigs after a video of him walking the runway at New York Fashion Week went viral.
The famed scientist was walking in the Blue Jacket Fashion Show, according to CNN Style. The show is put on by the Prostate Cancer Foundation to raise awareness and money for prostate cancer research. Designers donate their blue jacket designs, and athletes, celebrities and public figures act as models.
Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia, CNN anchor Don Lemon, actor Omar Sharif, Jr. and others graced the runway, but none made a splash quite as large as Nye's.
Jessica Weiss sat front row at the show, and posted the video of Nye dancing down the runway in a blue floral blazer to Lizzo's hit song, "Juice" on TikTok.

"When he started dancing to 'Juice' by Lizzo I knew it would be very popular because they are both iconic," Weiss told CNN. She wasn't wrong. The video has more than 170,000 likes on TikTok. A Twitter user posted the video to her account, where it has been viewed nearly 15 million times and had more than 830,000 likes.
Of course, Twitter users had their fun making the video even more entertaining with hilarious video edits and commentary.
Bill Nye the flyest guy. It has a ring to it.
