We Love Kari Byron

Television viewers are probably very familiar with the MythBusters television program, featuring an extremely geek and nerd oriented angle. Their focus is on debunking the myths, such as the myth about CDs shattering in high speed CD drives and other strange but sometimes true phenomenon.

Making a full-time occupation out of debunking these types of urban legends and myths on a one by one basis, while seemingly innocuous enough, has become the full-time occupation of the MythBusters crew and cast. Initially, early on in this series, the MythBusters television program did very well in the ratings as more and more viewers tuned in to the interesting dynamic of destruction, education and science. The built-in fan base across the world made the show a hit as more and more word-of-mouth encouragement lead to more and more viewers which led to more and more advertising revenue.

The cast and crew of the show were probably unprepared for the type of explosion in ratings that occurred after Kari Byron joined the program. Ratings went through the roof as viewers expressed their unanimous and heartfelt approval of the addition of the smart, witty and sassy redhead that was extremely easy on the eyes, as the saying goes. While the show had always been popular with males between the ages of 18 and 35, the specific demographic that television advertisers look for in their viewers, the appeal to this critical demographic suddenly became monumental, as young males tuned in to view Kari Byron’s sexy and definitely non-bimbo presence and television personality on the MythBusters program. This flood of new viewers was a blessing to the MythBusters program, in addition to the previous success, as the addition of Kari Byron put them over the top in the regards to viewers and ad revenue.

Recently, Kari Byron posed in FHM, the gentleman’s Magazine. While the magazine does not allow nudity, she is certainly showing far more skin than you’d ever see on the MythBusters television program. The impact of posing in the men’s magazine on the television program is likely very positive, as more new viewers tune in to see the luscious redhead build, test and destroy a never ending stream of models, robots and a multitude of common household items. In the past, a pictorial in popular magazines such as FHM has very frequently been a tremendous boost to the model or starlet’s career, as young males flock to the programs that feature their favorite models from whatever pictorial they have fixated upon.

This method of posing in magazines and other popular news publications can be a strong ratings boost and a powerful public relations tool. Considering the amount of subscribers that magazines such as FHM cater to, there is no end to the amount of men and young males between the ages of 18 and 35, the key demographic for advertising executives, that would be exposed to such a pictorial. it is very likely that Kari Byron’s decision to appear in sultry poses for the popular magazine was met with nods of approval all around the MythBusters set.
