• History on Mythbusters

  As a trained artist, Byron originally wanted to work for the special effects portion of the company and not the actual television show. Through persistence, she landed a gig as a buttocks model during the testing of the "vacuum plane toilet" myth on the second pilot episode of the first season. She has been a team member ever since.
