(The current record for longest pumpkin chunk is 4,694 feet.) She and Belleci also worked together on the Science Channel’s Pumpkin Chunkin, an annual show that covers the World Championship Pumpkin Chunkin contest, where people each fall build machines to throw pumpkins as far as possible, using only mechanical means. Their guest episode retested a myth that MythBusters had done, about whether shooting a propane tank could cause an explosion. In 2012, she and Tory Belleci were in an episode of Sons of Guns, the Discovery Channel show about custom firearms manufacturers. Byron also hosted two seasons of Large, Dangerous Rocket Ships for the Science Channel.
Hosted by Byron, the show only ran for two seasons, but continues to show up on the Science Channel occasionally. The show was an hour of new material based loosely on what was shown on MythBusters, generally emphasizing the idea that science, and a scientific approach to the world, can be fun.

Notably, Kari Byron and the rest of the Build Team accidentally fired a cannonball into a house, after it went over the primary target, rolled up a hill behind the shooting range, and flew over half a kilometer away.ĭespite some controversy, the show had wide-reaching cultural influence, with the main hosts appearing in other TV shows, and even worked with President Barack Obama to test out a myth about an ancient laser cannon. Throughout the show there were a number of accidents. For one episode of MythBusters, Kari had herself painted in aluminium dust to test the health risks If this didn’t verify the myth, they would keep making their tests more absurd, until eventually they got the result they wanted – usually an explosion. First, they would try and recreate the circumstances of a myth, frequently with Jamey and Adam, or members of the Build Team competing to see who could more accurate recreate the scenario. While the show received some criticism for not being entirely scientific in its approach, they did have some consistent methods.
By the second season, three of Hyneman’s crew were organized as the “Build Team”: Kari Byron, Tory Belleci, and Scottie Chapman. As the first season went on, her and other members of M5 Industries began to be shown in episodes.
When Mythbusters started, Kari Byron worked behind the scenes to help build some of the equipment Savage and Hyneman would use in the episodes. The show was produced out of Hyneman’s special effects workshop, M5 Industries.
Hyneman was picked to be the host, but asked Savage to co-host, since Hyneman doubted if he was interesting enough to host it by himself.

Then in 2002, the Discovery Channel became interested in a show where they would test out urban myths, movie effects tropes, and other bits of colloquial knowledge that might not be true. After being interviewed by Discovery about another similar show, Robot Wars, Hyneman was asked to produce a casting video for the network. Around that time, Adam Savage and Jamey Hyneman were working together on BattleBots, a Comedy Central show about the sport of robot combat.
