Encore Viewing on Thursday, October 20th 9PM E/P

Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman of MythBusters fame will pay homage to the late Steve Jobs by hosting a special titled iGenius: How Steve Jobs Changed the World. This one-hour documentary, a Discovery and NBC Peacock Productions collaboration, will include interviews with various people whose lives were greatly impacted by Jobs.

Adam and Jamie, along with the other MythBusters, thrive on innovation, and Steve Jobs has been extremely influential throughout their careers.

“Someone once said that to follow the path that others have laid before you is a very reasonable course of action, therefore all progress is made by unreasonable men,” Savage said. “Steve Jobs was an unreasonable man. He didn’t simply give the public what they wanted, he defined entirely new ways of thinking about our lives in the digital space: productivity, creativity, music, communication, media and art. He has touched, directly and indirectly, all of our lives.”

Be sure to tune-in on Sunday, Oct. 16 at 8PM E/P for the premiere of iGenius: How Steve Jobs Changed the World.
