MYTHBUSTERS: THE SEARCH Premiere Heads to Hallowed Ground (Exclusive)

When it comes to the world of MythBusters, the Alameda Runway isn’t just some abandoned piece of Naval property used to destroy things in the name of science, it is sacred ground where countless myths were busted and confirmed in the most spectacular of ways. Which is why there is no better place to bring a group of hopeful contestants, vying to be the next wave of mythbusting leaders, to see what they’re capable of.

In this exclusive clip from the premiere episode of MythBusters: The Search, the reality competition show seeking a new generation of scientists to check out the veracity of some famous–and infamous–myths, the group headed out to the iconic Alameda Runway to test out their car ejector seats. That’s where the show’s host and the contestants’ guide, Nerdist’s very own Kyle Hill, introduced them to special guest judge and honorary MythBuster, the high flying and legendary formula drift driver Conrad Grunewald, who showed off some of the moves that made him such an important contributor to MythBusters in the past.
