Chuck Nice (born July 10, 1975) is an American stand-up comedian, television, and radio personality from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he started his career hosting a show atop a 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[2] and truTV's The Smoking Gun Presents: World's Dumbest...,[3] and he performs regularly at NYC clubs, including Comic Strip Live, New York Comedy Club, Westside Comedy Club, and more. He has been featured in commercials for Direct TV, Smirnoff, Tide, and Enterprise Rent-A-Car, to name a few. He often co-hosts the TV show and podcast StarTalk alongside astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, and he is the host of Brain Games on the Road on Nat Geo/Disney+. Starting on February 1, 2017, Nice has also been the permanent co-host of the StarTalk spinoff Playing with Science alongside Gary O'Reilly.[4]
He hosted a TEDTalk titled "A Funny Look at the Unintended Consequences of Technology and Human Interaction" in 2017.
As of April 2022 he is the host of the top-10 countdown that airs weekly on the Centric Network. He also hosts HGTV's Buy Like a Mega-Millionaire.[5][6][7]
