Actually, Bill Nye has a B.S. in mechanical engineering from Cornell --
Carl Sagan was one of his professors. Before his Science Guy career, he
worked at Boeing and as an aerospace consultant. He holds several
patents, and he's currently president of The Planetary Society.
I think it's safe to say he is a scientist and an expert -- especially
at communicating science to the public. I haven't seen him say anything
I'd take issue with recently in his commentary on Fukushima Daiichi.

Watching cable news, the closest thing to a scientist you often see is
Bill Nye. Nothing against Bill Nye, but he is not a scientist and
frankly is not an expert....although he frequently plays one on TV!
