“MythBusters: Behind the Myths” presents a
fantastical evening of experiments, audience participation, rocking video and behind-the-scenes
stories. With this show, for the first time, fans join Jamie and Adam and
assist in their mind-blowing and mind-twisting approach to science.
"MythBusters: Behind the Myths" brings
you face-to-face with the curious world of Jamie and Adam as the duo matches
wits on stage with each other and members of the audience. Last winter
and spring, the show performed a 28-city national tour playing sold-out
performances all over the country.
One of the Discovery Channel’s most highly regarded and
watched series, “MythBusters” is now in its ninth season. Co-hosted by
Hyneman and Savage, “MythBusters” mixes scientific method with gleeful
curiosity and plain old-fashioned ingenuity to create its own signature style
of explosive experimentation – and the supporting or de-bunking of urban myths
that we live with day to day.
Adam and Jamie have become spokespersons at large for
applying science to real life – most recently as hosts of the Discovery Channel
special “"iGenius: How Steve Jobs Changed the World,” and have appeared on
numerous shows including “Late Show with David Letterman,” “Good Morning
America,” “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson,” “The Colbert Report,” NPR’s
“All Things Considered” and “Morning Edition,” “Countdown with Keith Olberman,”
and many more. They were invited to participate in Jon Stewart and
Stephen Colbert’s Rally to Restore Fear And/Or Sanity and have received the
Young Artist Award for inspiring young people in the interest of science.
“MythBusters” has been invited to participate on a panel at Comic-Con, where
their appearances have sold-out four years running.
Adam and Jamie serve as guest editors for Popular
Mechanics and were featured on the cover of the September 2009
issue. That same year, they were inducted as honorary members into Sigma
Xi, the Scientific Research Society. They are Honorary Lifetime Members
of the California Science Teachers Association and were named Honorary
Engineers and Honorary Members of the Francis Crowe Society at the University
of Maine. Both Hyneman and Savage were given honorary Doctorates at
the University of Twente in the Netherlands for their efforts at popularization
of science.
Adam and Jamie produced and starred in an H1N1 Public
Service Announcement for the White House and were chosen by the President to
retest the Archimedes legend using 500 schoolchildren as surrogate
soldiers. They appeared as themselves in the movie Darwin Awards and
have made several cameos on other TV shows, including CSI. In
2010, Hyneman and Savage received the Outstanding Lifetime Achievement Award in
Cultural Humanism from the Harvard Secular Society.
