What are they doing now?

Does anyone know what all of the Mythbusters are doing now? Including the Mythbusters Jr cast, Christine, and Jess?

Note: With the exception of Adam and Grant

Adam is an independent contractor, and YouTuber.

I agree.

After hearing this, I had to go look. Apparently, after MB and Jamie leaving, M5 Industries no longer does special effects and focuses on research and development instead.

R&D in what? Special effects, or something else?

I know Jamie was involved with some major R&D for better masks during the COVID shutdown.

For example: they engineered a tank that can be used to fight wildfires

Jessi Combs died setting a land speed record in a jet powered car. There is a documentary called “The Fastest Woman on Earth”.

I met her brother recently at an event, the Jessi Combs Foundation is doing good work helping get girls into the trades.

I thought this was a weird joke until I Googled it.

[-]

Relic5000@reddit (OP)

I forgot about her. I really liked her episodes on the show too.

(Jess in my question is the mythturn from the 4th or 5th season)

Tori was on an Amazon show with Richard from The Grand Tour, and it was....not great. I think he's done a handful of commercials with Kari too, and they did White Rabbit Project together with Grant on Netflix not too long before he passed.

SerendipitySchmidty@reddit

I actually liked the great escapists.

Tori also did a Show about Island Survival as well, as a sorta mockumentory or something like that.

[-]

jasonreid1976@reddit

That's the show he did with Richard Hammond. It was pretty lame.

[-]

Nikiaf@reddit

That show was over scripted to a level I have not seen before or since. They really needed to just have fun with it and not make it feel so forced; all while dumbing down the science aspects. Total wasted potential.

Get_a_Grip_comic@reddit

Yeah I was disappointed, I was watching it and thinking who this show is for?

[-]

soulreaverdan@reddit

I really liked WRP, wish it had gotten renewed

esocharis@reddit

The mind control bit where she was torturing Tori has me rolling every single time lol

Grant also starred as Hikaru Sulu in Star Trek Continues on YouTube. A part which he played both during the run of Mythbusters until after. He greatly contributed to the sets and props in the series.

ThatSandwich@reddit

Tori was also in the latest Jackass movie during one of the scenes

Kari filmed a "project" with the Shell oil company, and when I watched it, part of me died inside. Especially the scene where Kari used chewing gum to seal a leak in a pipe.

[-]

DLoIsHere@reddit

Adam has a YouTube channel on which he answers questions about the show.

Scottie is a dentist/dental Hygienist, I know that much

antsam9@reddit

And former member of Weezer

Brian Louden is living in St. Croix and was filling scuba tanks. He’s active on TikTok and probably one of my favorites mythbusters.

[-]

Relic5000@reddit (OP)

Is he one of the guys from the search?

[-]

Jessi died during a land-speed record attempt in 2019.

Allie from MB Jr is "Robotmakergirl" on insta.

[-]

schowdur123@reddit

He's referring to Jess, not Jessi. They are different people.

[-]

Relic5000@reddit (OP)

Yea, Jess was a "Mythturn" in the middle seasons.

Kari runs a program to get girls into STEM fields. It's pretty awesome
