Mythbusters Are Coming!

For those who are unaware, the Mythbusters, specifically Jamie Hyneman  and Adam Savage, are coming to Salt Lake City tonight to perform a live show to a sold-out audience.  I was among those fortunate enough to get tickets.  As a result, I was also fortunate(?) to be interviewed by The Daily Utah Chronicle regarding the show.  It’s not just me in the article so I thought that it would be good to share with you, our regular readers.

Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman are best known for hosting the hit television show “Mythbusters.” They will bring the same theatrical stunts and experiments to Kingsbury Hall for a sold-out live performance tonight.

“This performance will capture the spirit of everything that the Mythbusters do,” said Bruce Grantham, marketing officer for Magicspace Entertainment.

This is the duo’s second trip to Salt Lake City, when they also spoke in front of a sold-out crowd. For previous tours, “Mythbusters Live” was in a lecture format, but this year’s tour has live demonstrations and audience participation.

The night will feature special effects, music and a Q-and-A session after the show, Grantham said. He said he did not want to reveal specifics because “the surprise is the exciting part.”

“ ‘Mythbusters’ appeals to me because of the scientific aspect,” said Jeremiah Zohner, a Davis County resident. “I also like to see stuff blow up — it’s good entertainment.”

Zohner said he has been watching “Mythbusters” since the first season, but has never seen the Mythbusters during a live performance and wants to see how Hyneman acts off camera. He would be thrilled to get picked to participate, he said.

The tour began Friday and is working its way across the country. After the performance in Salt Lake City, the duo will move to Arizona, then California.

The performance takes place at Kingsbury Hall at 7:30 p.m.

Founder & Executive Producer After developing a love of Star Wars and comic books as a child, Zohner was destined to be a geek. With interests touching on computers, video games, technology, books, TV and movies, and toys and collectibles, he is the epitome of a well-rounded geek. Zohner is one of the founding members of Stolendroids. After stepping away for a time to work on other endeavors, the time was right for him to make his triumphant return to the one project that he truly loves. When he’s not writing articles or podcasting, Zohner can be found spending time with his family, managing projects for a software company, or hanging out in the gym knowing that it won’t do a bit of good.
