Mythbusters’ Grant Imahara Answers reddit.com’s top ten questions submitted by fans. Here’s the questions:
* Question 1 – What’s your biggest screwup on mythbusters?
* Question 2 – Why don’t you, Tory and Kari work on anything with Adam and the walrus anymore? Is it simply because Discovery found better ratings with the two-team format, or does Jamie secretly despise Tory?
* Question 3 – Do you ever feel awkward doing the scripted ‘conversations’ with each other to introduce myths? They don’t seem necessary as the best quality of the show is that everyone has their own character. Other than that, love the show and long may it continue!
* Question 4 – Thanks to the magic of editing, it appears as though constructing a robot takes you about 5 seconds. How long do they actually take, and is there one robot in particular you remember being a complete ass along the way?
* Question 5 – Since you are the only person on Mythbusters with formal scientific education, do you tend to approach problems differently from your fellow Mythbusters?
* Question 6 – how much of the show that we see is “real” footage and how much is reenactments and producer/director created content?
* Question 7 – Do you hang out with any of the cast outside of the show? If so, who are you closest to and what do you enjoy getting together for?
* Question 8 – Favourite thing about the show that the viewers don’t get to see?
* Question 9 – In the episode where you tested out lie detectors, you were asked if you had ever made a female robot for yourself, and you said no, but it came up as a lie. So have you?
* Question 10 – Why was Geoff constructed with only one movable arm, a rotating neck and moving jaw? Was that resource issue, or a comic decision?
