Who is The Mythbusters

MythBusters is a popular science television program produced by Australian company Beyond Television ProductionsBeyond Productions Ventures. originally for the Discovery Channel in the United States. The series has since been distributed by a number of international broadcasters, including SBS in Australia and Quest in the UK.

During the second season, several members of Savage and Hyneman's team ("The Build Team") were organized into a second team and now typically test separate myths from the main duo.
