Ellen is wild about science!

Steve Returned to the Ellen Show Friday, March 6th!

Here's what Ellen had to say about Steve's appearance...

"My favorite science guy is back! He gave me a sneak peek at the experiments he’s gonna do -- and let’s just say I’ve since upgraded my insurance policy! I don’t want to give away all the surprises, but I can tell you this: There will either be one of the biggest fireballs you’ve ever seen, a giant bed of nails -- or both!! Tune in to find out and don’t forget to wear your safety goggles!"

Steve got things fired up with a little Methane Mamba fire ball during his latest appearance on the Ellen show. After Ellen "lit him on fire..." he showed her how to float a ball in mid-air or make some toilet paper fly. But, no one could believe their eyes when Ellen laid down on a bed of nails for Steve's big finale!

Watch Steve's Past Appearances


Steve is used to getting students and teachers excited about science, but what about a talk show host? Steve made his first appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show in September of 2007, teaching Ellen how to blow giant smoke rings, and he returned just a month later to demonstrate his exploding pumpkin trick. Last February, Steve wowed Ellen and her audience by letting an audience member walk on water... or at least a giant vat of cornstartch and water... and gave Ellen a little surprise when he ignited hydrogen and oxygen bubbles, right in her hands! In April of 2008, he showed Ellen how to make exploding "fire water" and filled the studio with flying potatoes. On his last appearance, Steve returned to the Ellen show with electric pickles, disappearing ink, Insta-Snow and an explosive liquid nitrogen finale. With all these science adventures, we can't wait to see what Steve will come up with next!
