Chuck Nice

Chuck Nice (born July 10, 1975) is an American stand-up comedian and media host. He is a longtime comic co-host of StarTalk with astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and since 2022 has hosted Brain Games: On the Road for National Geographic/Disney+.

He started his career hosting a show atop the New-Wave dance club The Bank. He got his name from DJ Chuck Nice, a local DJ from Jersey City who made mixtapes in the ’90s. Like 50 Cent and Rick Ross, who adopted names from people they admired, he chose to carry on the name as a tribute to the mixtapes he loved listening to. Nice was also heard on The Radio Chick, a comedic show formerly on 92.3 Free FM, Q104.3 FM, and WNEW-FM, in New York City. Nice was a frequent contributor to VH1’s Best Week Ever.[citation needed]

On New York radio, Nice was a featured comic on The Radio Chick with host Leslie Gold during its runs on WNEW-FM (102.7) and later WAXQ/Q104.3; the show subsequently moved to 92.3 Free FM (WXRK/WFNY). He went on to appear on VH1’s Best Week Ever and on truTV’s The Smoking Gun Presents: World's Dumbest....

Nice is a regular comic co-host of StarTalk, helping translate complex ideas with humor; he also co-hosted the sports-science spinoff Playing with Science with former professional footballer Gary O'Reilly, which premiered February 1, 2017.

In 2017 he delivered a TED talk, "A funny look at the unintended consequences of technology," at TED2017 (Vancouver); it posted to TED.com in 2018.

Nice has hosted multiple series, including HGTV’s Home Strange Home and How to Buy Like a Mega-Millionaire, and National Geographic’s Brain Games: On the Road. He appeared in the Netflix film The Week Of (2018) as Leonard.
