Kari Byron
Kari Byron, born and raised in San-Francisco, is an artist and TV personality, best known for her role as a Build Team member on the Discovery Channel's Mythbusters. Kari graduated from San Francisco State University in May of 1998 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Film and Sculpture. Kari got her start on Mythbusters when she showed up at Jamie Hyneman's workshop (M5 Industries) and expressed a strong desire to help his company. On her first day as a paid employee, she was asked to help with the "airplane vacuum toilet" myth, where she had to have a cast of her buttocks made. This later led to her stating (jokingly) that she was "hired just for her butt." As an artist, Kari is into making sculptures and portraits and, before her career as a Mythbuster, had her art displayed at several exhibitions.
