Mrthreepsood: You guys said the show won't end based on a lack of myths to bust. How do you picture the "MythBusters" saga ending?
Adam: Amazingly, I was just thinking about this the other day. I was picturing us, years down the road, a little older and grayer, I'd be missing a finger or two, and I was thinking about the "MythBusters" series finale. I concluded it would have to end with Jamie's and my ultimate destruction, thus propagating our own myth and leaving it for someone else to bust.
Jamie: I like to think that this will go on as far as the subject material will allow. I don't see "MythBusters" as just being about urban legends and, as such, something that we could run out of. I think the show is about a lot more than that, and the show would be able to go on and (I'd hope!) be interesting as long as Adam and I find interesting things out there to explore. I think that would mean the show would last a very long time.
Adam: I also imagined that the show and the ideas behind the show might continue after Jamie and I were no longer interesting to the audience as hosts, and we might pass the myths to other mythbusters. Not that we have any plans to do so!
Discovery: Thanks for a wonderful chat! Unfortunately we are almost out of time. Do you have any parting words for us?
Jamie: Gee, I guess it's wonderful that all the people out there that watch the show are finding it interesting. We're certainly having a lot of fun doing it, but we're just trying to make a buck. (laughing) So don't take it — or us — too seriously!
Adam: Thanks to everyone for watching and for sending Jamie and me your words of encouragement. Thanks to the East Coast for staying up late, and hopefully we'll do another one of these chats sooner rather than later. Have a good night!
Discovery: Well, thanks for joining our live chat. In case you missed anything, look for the transcript of this chat on the fan site later this week. And to hear from Jamie and Adam on a regular basis, be sure to visit our MythBusters discussion board at Discovery.com and look for postings by "mistersavage" and "jamiehyneman." Thanks again for stopping by!
