LOS ANGELES, CA, -- Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, co-hosts of Discovery Channel's MythBusters series, have signed a multi-year deal to co-executive produce the popular science show.

"We're excited not only to continue on the MythBusters series for Discovery, but also to expand our reach into additional opportunities in television, the internet, touring, video games and more. We could not have accomplished this escalation without the dedicated efforts of our entire team, and we're also extremely grateful to Discovery for their continuing expressions of confidence." said Jamie Hyneman.

"Adam and Jamie infuse science with their special brand of humor, tenacity and passion," said Clark Bunting, President and General Manager of Discovery Channel and President of Science Channel.

Dan Tapster is the executive producer for Beyond Productions; Tracy Rudolph is the supervising producer for Discovery Channel.

William Morris Endeavor will package and represent all new series and represent the pair in all other platforms and ancillaries. Hyneman and Savage are currently working with WME on developing the live show to take on tour later this year.
