Last night, on the last episode of the season, Mythbusters hosts Adam Savage and Jaime Hyneman announced in a video segment that long-time co-hosts Kari Byron, Grant Imahara and Tony Belleci will not be returning next season.
Hyneman and Savage thanked Byron, Imahara and Belleci in the video, with Savage saying that “You’ve literally given you’re blood, sweat and tears in the name of science and it has been a total pleasure, not only to work with you, but to call you friends.”
“We wish you the very best of luck and thank you.” Hyneman said.

The three haven’t specified what they may be doing next, though Imahara won a Geekie last week for his performance in the web series Trek Continues, and Byron has been busy at the White House (yes, that White House) working on encouraging young woman to enter the STEM fields.
The Mythbusters official website has created a retrospective of Byron, Belleci and Imahara you can see here, and you can watch Hyneman and Savage announce the trio’s leaving here.
