Mythbusters is a show on the Discovery channel where a group of individuals are given popular myths so they can either debunk or prove the myth. The show has been around since 2003 and stars Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage. Since 2004 and 2005, three other individuals also were part of the show and included Grant Imahara, Kari Byron, and Tory Belleci.

Hyneman and Savage made an announcement on Thursday’s show that Imahara, Byron, and Belleci would be leaving, which shocked Mythbusters fans that have watched for years.

It is hard to imagine the show without Imahara, Byron, and Belleci. They provided humor, silliness, and excitement to every myth they worked to bust. While the details of their dismissal from the show are not completely known, what is known fans of the show will miss being able to see the cast members busting those myths that are sent in by viewers.

In honor of Imahara, Byron, and Belleci, we are counting down the top ten after show moments between the cast members when they would discuss the behind the scenes aspects of the shows after they were filmed. What have been your favorite myths that were either debunked or proved by the cast?
