Jon Lung and Brian Louden, who won the reality competition MythBusters: The Search to replace Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, “bring a fresh dynamic to a show that came from much more humble, upstart origins,” says Steve Greene. “When tasked with replacing Savage and Hyneman, the natural decision was to bring into hosts who could be affable, photogenic, and easier stewards of the brand. As a result, some of the lingering tension that used to be the subconscious motor of MythBusters is gone.” ALSO: Both co-hosts have been MythBusters fans “since day one.”
