While Kari Byron was studying film and sculpture at San Francisco State University, her parents were wondering what kind of job she'd actually end up with in the real world. She'd be writing, directing and starring in B-level schlock-horror films one day; the next she'd be sculpting intricate model dragons for Dungeons & Dragons fans. Luckily for us that all turned out to be perfect training for the world of MythBusters. After graduating, Kari began her career as an artist, working in sculpture and painting and
… More holding successful exhibitions at some of San Francisco's leading galleries. Her sculpting skills then led her into the world of model-making and toy-prototyping: a job with Jamie Hyneman at M5 Industries. It was here that Kari got her first big break with the MythBusters team. The rest is history.Welcome to the TV.com Forums for Kari Byron. Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this person.
I posted on my Mythbusters review that my only complaint was one of the hosts, Kari Byron. Just hear me out on this before you all start jumping down my throat. Kari refuses to do anything on Mythbusters and it really annoys me. While Grant and Tory do some dangerous stuff, she's just safe below and sitting there with a smile looking all pretty. Kari just flat out does nothing besides make pottery and molds, but anyone can do that. In one episode, they tested which drink is more suitable to dealing with a hot pepper, and Kari immediately tells Tory and Grant that she will test them and tell them when they can drink. Then she refuses to hold pig skins for an experiment. Finally they tested being drunk and seeing which one had the worse hangover and Kari was having WAY too much fun on waking Tory and Grant, with air horns and yelling. She just seemed to happy. Notice anything yet? Kari is just not doing anything at all and seems to have too much fun torturing poor Grant and Tory. Now I know at one point she was pregnant and she had her leg broken, so I can let those slide, but she really needs to start getting involved with the myths and not having Tory and Grant do all the dirty work on the show. Her temporary take over person, Jessi Combs, was way better. She got more involved and had some street smarts to her. Unlike Kari who sits around twiddling her fingers and smiling. If anything, Mythbusters needs to tell Kari to get off and get Jessi to take her place permanently. Kari is only there for sex appeal, and while I do find her somewhat hot, sexiness can only go so far and when the sex appeal is really lazy and does nothing that ruins it for me. Kari Byron is just not a real good person and gives women a bad name and I feel sorry for them. She needs to either start pulling her weight around on the show, or just get off Mythbusters and go raise her family and let Jessi take over. Thumb me down all you want to, but it's just proof that Kari is there for sex appeal and nothing else.
If you watch a single episode of MythBusters and don't fall in love with Kari immediately, you either have no eyes or not heart.
Kari is probably the dream come true of every man: she's simply gorgeous, she's smart, she's talented, and to top it all off she gives off this 'nerdy' vibe which makes her so much more appealing (to me at least). Besides, any woman who can probably build anything out of anything is a catch. Not to mention that she appears to be very warm-hearted and cheerful, which is always a great quality in any human being.
I look forward to watching MythBusters every week just to get another glimpse of Kari. I'm happily married, but I can still look and fantasize. Although I don't really follow the Art culture or understand it (I'm a gearhead), I totally respect her talents as an artist and a MythBuster. She has definitely added a whole new fan base to the show as I'm sure the rest of the gentlemen who reviewed her would agree. Hey Kari, any tattoos? I bet you'd look fantastic with a delicate butterfly somewhere special or even a tribal on your lower back. I'm a sucker for a red-head. I just about melted when I saw your Butt Scan video on YouTube - fantastic. And your FHM photos are also the bomb. All I can say is Thank You Very Much MythBusters.. Best Regards!!

Kari is the only reason I watch MythBusters. Her infectious smile is very captivating.... In my opinion, MythBusters would not be the same without her on the show. Some may argue that she has not the talent to be on the show. But I tend to disagree. She adds a certain touch to MythBusters. Kari may not have the magnitude of knowledge that Jamie and Adam have; then again, she is not the host of the show. If indeed the producers were to hire someone with the same expertise as the two afore mentioned hosts, odds are it would not have been a woman. (No disrespect intended to the females out there.) So, I just hope Kari is in it for the long haul....
