As co-hosts of television's Mythbusters, Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman take a scientific approach to tackle modern misconceptions and the bizarre claims of Urban Legends. The wacky pair puts these tales to the ultimate test, backed by experts in folklore, crime, medicine and engineering, and they even put their own bodies on the line in search of the truth that lies at the heart of some of our favorite myths.

Together Adam and Jamie have more than thirty years experience in feature film special effects, animatronics and toy prototyping. With this background they have tested everything from if Pop Rocks and soda can make your stomach explode to the possibility of getting stuck on an airplane toilet. They have performed hundreds of experiments all aimed to shed light on what myths are just tall tales and which aren't myths at all.
