LOS ANGELES — Bill Nye, host of the Emmy-winning 1990s television show "Bill Nye the Science Guy," collapsed during a California speech, then got up and continued his presentation.
The Los Angeles Times says the 54-year-old Nye apparently fainted on stage Tuesday evening in front of hundreds of people gathered at the University of Southern California.
Paramedics and campus safety officers responded, but it's unclear if Nye was treated.
USC senior Tristan Camacho says Nye collapsed in mid-sentence at the podium. About 10 seconds later, she says he was conscious and asked the audience how long he was out.
Nye told the audience a similar thing happened to him earlier in the day.
Nye assistant Christine Sposari didn't immediately respond to an e-mail request for information sent early Wednesday.

Drama Queen....
He is an enemy of my values and my people.
Yeah, I hope he’s alright. Probably read the election returns and the suit from the scientists that are suing Algore. Guy’s a lefty.
Not a big fan of his....but wish him well. I swear...he doesn’t look like he eats. Always looks emaciated.
Must have been Climate Change.
While I hope he is not hurt, it’s hard not to view any public appearance by this AGW hoaxster without cynicism.
He probably realized how much he could be saving if he had switched to Gieco.
He ought to have Ed Begley drive him to the ER on his bike.
Get well, Bill...
What, Obama was in the audience?
Probably woozy from the heat of global warming. Get well Bill Nye . . . and think about the evidence of fraud on global warming while you recuperate.
Did y’all see him on one of the last episodes of Stargate: Atlantis?
He played himself, an ‘archenemy’ of Rodney’s from way back, pretty funny. :-)
Sounds like he might be overworking. OR the shock that there’s no such thing as global warming stuned his beeber!
Fainting like that twice in one day isn’t good. I hope he gets himself checked out.
At least Ed Beagly practices what he preaches and is not a total dick all the time
maybe he’s trying out a new act
Exactly.
He sets an example.
Some of which, I don’t wish to follow, but he lives what he preaches.
