The
all-new live show “MythBusters: Behind the Myths,” starring Jamie Hyneman and
Adam Savage, co-hosts of the Emmy-nominated Discovery series
"MythBusters,” will debut at The Palazzo Las Vegas for 6 performances
only, August 17 – 19 and August 31 – September 2, 2012. Tickets are on sale at Palazzo.com.
“MythBusters:
Behind the Myths,” presents a fantastical evening of on-stage experiments,
audience participation, rocking video and behind-the-scenes stories. With this show, for the first time, fans
join Jamie and Adam on stage 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 with each other and members of the
audience. Last winter and spring, the
show performed 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. And In
2010, Hyneman and Savage received the Outstanding Lifetime Achievement Award in
Cultural Humanism from the Harvard Secular Society.
