Hosted by Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, with Tory Belleci, Kari Byron and Grant Imahara, the Mythbusters mix scientific method with gleeful curiosity and plain old-fashioned ingenuity to create their own signature style of explosive experimentation. The team's combined backgrounds in animatronics, robotics, model building and prototyping arm them with the ability to create anything they need to test a myth.
