My Favorite Mythbusters Babe is Kari Byron

She has a killer smile.

Kari Byron

While Kari Byron was studying film and sculpture at San Francisco State University, her parents were wondering what kind of job she'd actually end up with in the real world. She’d be writing, directing and starring in B-level schlock-horror films one day; the next she'd be sculpting intricate model dragons for Dungeons & Dragons fans.

Luckily for us that all turned out to be perfect training for the world of MythBusters.

After graduating, Kari began her career as an artist, working in sculpture and painting and holding successful exhibitions at some of San Francisco's leading galleries.

Her sculpting skills then led her into the world of model-making and toy-prototyping: a job with Jamie Hyneman at M5 Industries. It was here that Kari got her first big break with the Mythbusters team. During the "vacuum toilet" segment of one of the first episodes (which examined whether a person could get suctioned into an airline toilet), Jamie needed a 3-D scan of a person's backside, and Kari had the right ... well, you know. Basically, she was in the right place at the right time.

The rest is history (although we'd be remiss if we overlooked Kari's former job experience working in a kosher bagel store and posing as a store mannequin to foil shoplifters).

An erratic fencer and knife thrower, Kari has been chased by machine-gun-toting Egyptian police for painting a mural in Dahab, has trekked in the Himalayas, and has scuba-dived in most of the world oceans.

Here is a nice little interview with Kari.

Not exactly sure, but it MIGHT have been the very first episode she was in when they were trying to see if someone could really be sucked into an airliner toilet and they needed to make a fake backside and decided on hers.

That might be the suit needed to make a mold of her form.

Saying Kari is your favorite Mythbuster girl is like saying a Mac is your favorite computer. It's obvious!

The cute smile, the red hair, the ability to build things, the sense of humor - duh, of course she's the best.

Kari is hot.

I like the picture of her in a skirt holding the balloons - with the Freddie razor fingers.

And if you've ever watched the show you'll know she's got a cute little personality, too!

And there's something about her that makes me think she likes girls...and that girls like her.

I have seen the show, and that's what used to be called "a winning personality." Like she wins friends by just looking at them. And if she likes girls, that's just fine-as long as she keeps smiling on TV!

Heck, if you ever worked together or had a friend in common and you ever socialized I know she'd prefer you.

Snort. I just love the show - kari is cute, but do you really want a girlfriend with a tendency to go after things with 12" claws? I mean, that is just going to smart......

Don't try to outweird me, I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal.

Yeah I like her too. Have you ever checked out her web site though? Her art is really weird. I think she may have some "issues".
Being in debt and celebrating a lower deficit is like being on a diet and celebrating the fact you gained two pounds this week instead of five.

I like Scottie best


Kari's cute but it seems like she doesn't know too much actual science. Scottie either but she is great at actually doing the mechanical stuff and egineering

I like her too, but I also like Scottie. I think she's sexy in that 'cute chick welding and building cool stuff' kind of way. Plus she has tattoos. I love chicks with tattoos.
