A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is set to be unveiled Monday honoring Bill Nye who went from being an engineer at Boeing to winning an Emmy for hosting “Bill Nye the Science Guy,” with a boost from winning a regional Steve Martin lookalike contest.

Actor and game show host Joel McHale, Boston Celtics guard-forward Jaylen Brown and comedian Ross Shafer are set to join Nye in speaking at the 11:30 a.m. ceremony at 6357 Hollywood Blvd., between Cahuenga Boulevard and Ivar Avenue.

Schafer hosted “Almost Live!,” the Seattle sketch-comedy show where Nye made his television debut.

The star is the 2,821st since the completion of the Walk of Fame in 1961 with the initial 1,558 stars.
