The Mismatched 'MythBusters'

biohack writes "Most fans of the MythBusters would agree that the two hosts of the show, Adam and Jamie, are 'diametrically opposed in every aspect of their lives'. The Christian Science Monitor story about the MythBusters explores the connection between the backgrounds of the hosts (who knew that Jamie had a degree in Russian literature?) and their creative differences on and off camera." From the article: "It took Hyneman a of couple years to feel comfortable talking in front of a camera, let alone to strangers on the street. 'You have to remember that I'm a guy who is happiest in a dark room just thinking,' he says. 'I'm not a sociable person. I don't like to talk.' Savage, on the other hand, is outgoing. They're clearly the Oscar and Felix of myth busting ... 'Jamie is all about total, complete, and utter control. Thinking first and then acting. Adam is about acting first and then thinking.'"

I love living near San Francisco!

Of course they can walk around in relative anonymity. Even Robin Williams can go around without being hounded. There is so much to see and do in SF, and if you think that these guys are anything to attract attention, you clearly have never been to the city.

Re:The show needs someone like Adam

That's great. You should also include Good Eats, if you haven't already. Awesome show. Makes home-ec look like kindergarten :-)
