MythBusters premiered on the Discovery Channel on January 23, 2003. The show's original hosts, special effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, used elements of the scientific method to test the validity of rumors, myths, movie scenes, adages, Internet videos, and news stories. Adam Savage returned to host the final two seasons of the show in 2016. In 2017, sister network Science Channel revived the series with new hosts Jon Lung and Brian Louden.
