The Untold Truth Of Kari Byron From Mythbusters

The best-known cast members of the Discovery Channel’s MythBusters are hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, but the show’s Build Team became stars (and hosts of the show) in their own right.

The most popular member of the Build Team was Kari Byron, who was the only female host of the show. Byron has often talked about her difficulties as a woman in an industry dominated by men, and it’s undeniably been a tough journey to achieve the level of fame and respect she has today.

From the early jobs she has worked to the funniest moments on the MythBusters set, let’s take a look at the untold truth of Kari Byron.

Golden era of Discovery, when the most shows was about science and not about garage auctions

Kari, Tori and Grant completed the show, they were all great and definitely added some great chemistry. Too bad things ended the way they did, RIP Grant you will be missed!

[tylerbracken]

rest in peace Grant Imahara you will be missed

[ricklee]

This is so heartbreaking. I have the entire Mythbusters collection, and
often watch episodes several times per week. He will be greatly missed.
Rest in peace, Grant.

Oh man I had a huge crush on her when I was young

[slyspy]

She is cute as hell and was a pleasure to watch, she added a balance that the show really needed

[metadouken]

I had the honor of casually bumping into Kari at a music festival called outside lands in SF in 2010. She was really humble when I was obviously star struck and somehow our conversation lead to the discovery that we both rode the same model of vintage schwinn bicycles to the show that day.

Kari was a sweetheart, always loved her enthusiasm and energy. Making her a co-host was a genius move and the show would have not been remotely the same without her.

[JohnPepp]

Mythbusters went downhill after they got rid of the build team.

[wwerty]

Had a huge crush on her growing up watching the show.

how many young fellas were heart-broke when Kari got pregnant?

[Randomninja]

I enjoyed Grant, Tori and Kari more often than Adam and Jamie. All were great but they usually had the better chemistry and made it more fun.

I had a huge crush on her growing up she’s adorable .

[ShadeFC]

Her science based prank show sounds interesting in concept, probably the execution and budget that lacked, also sounds a bit like the show Scare Tactics.

[ComicBookGuy]

I miss Mythbusters, especially the movie specials

[macbuff]

I really like her. She is smart and pretty and really seems to enjoy her work experimenting and learning :) She is also a great role model for young girls.

[etonbachs]

Kari's one of the main reasons I watched Mythbusters.

[hitopsful]

I remember one episode when she tried to make goats faint by flashing them and I was SO damn jealous

[ireallygotnothing]

"how far away do i have to be from a c4 explosion to keep my baby safe?" oh man
