"As Beakman, Mr. Zaloom practices a decidedly cool brand of science." —
NEW YORK TIMES
"Fact: 90% of the scientists who ever lived are alive today. Fact: the lively host of Beakman's World may be funnier and more informative than any of them."
— WASHINGTON POST
"The irreverent Beakman can satisfy nearly anyone's curiosity with an answer that is always right on, and can be wry, energetic, sarcastic, engaging, funny, and loud."
— LOS ANGELES TIMES
