We Love Kari Byron

If you are familiar with the cable television channel Discovery Channel, then you have likely seen the MythBusters program. In the popular show, an expert crew deconstructs urban myths and legends about all manner of objects, including exploding toilet seats and all manner of other MacGyver level occurrences and phenomenon. While this extreme popularity with viewers who were interested in the method in which a CD-ROM player works helped MythBusters developed a cult, niche following, it left them with very little mainstream success.

Viewers who did tune in, usually tended to turn out very quickly, after only watching a few episodes. It was clear that the show was interesting and intelligent, yet it lacked a defining element that brought the program’s viewers back again and again. This defining element would be added several years into the show’s historic run, with the addition of Kari Byron, an incredibly sexy and attractive redheaded modeler and sculptor.

Once the world at large got wind of Kari Byron, they tuned in in droves to the MythBusters television program on the Discovery Channel to see what all the fuss was about. Sure enough, the addition of Kari Byron has generated a tremendous amount of attention between young males who are greatly affected by attractive young female cohosts and starlets on television. This strategy, whether intentional or accidental, has been extremely successful. The fan base for Kari Byron on the Internet is staggering, as more and more users create websites, blogs and other web based operations dedicated to Kari Byron and all manner of aspects of her life, personality and, naturally, even her physical body. This focus on the MythBusters newest star cast member brings users to the question of what the future might hold for the MythBusters starlet.

Wild popularity amongst your fans can be a great help in remaining on top in the show business world, but it can often dry out very quickly and leave the starlet with few options. This tendency to crash and burn for female stars is the lamentable side effect of the impossible idea of perfection that Hollywood has instilled in young viewers. The more Hollywood pushes the young and nubile image of the perfect woman in to viewers faces, the less need their is for aging actresses and starlets, no matter how attractive or talented. This emphasis on youth and young stars is a tragic and inevitable outcome of the Hollywood process, which creates a never ending chain of formerly famous and popular starlets who simply lose all their star power as they age.

Despite her youth, Kari Byron has an uphill battle in the future for the continued health of her career. Focusing on remaining successful and working steadily can be a challenge for any star, but for the female starlet, it is even more difficult and they have a far more difficult time as they age. Despite this, Kari Byron has a very good chance of remaining successful due to her skills as a modeler and sculptor.
