Grant Imahara, Host of 'MythBusters' and 'White Rabbit Project,' Dies at 49




An electrical engineer and roboticist by training, he worked for a long time at

Lucasfilm's THX and Industrial Light and Magic divisions.
Grant Imahara, an electrical engineer and roboticist who hosted the popular science show MythBusters and Netflix's White Rabbit Project, has died. He was 49.

Imahara died suddenly following a brain aneurysm, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. "We are heartbroken to hear this sad news about Grant. He was an important part of our Discovery family and a really wonderful man. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family," a representative for Discovery said in a statement on Monday.

An electrical engineer and roboticist by training, he joined Discovery's MythBusters in its third season, replacing Scottie Chapman and was with the show until 2014 when he left with with co-hosts Kari Byron and Tory Belleci. The trio would reunite in 2016 for Netflix's White Rabbit Project which lasted for one season. On MythBusters, Imahara used his technical expertise to design and build robots for the show and also operated the computers and electronics needed to test myths.

Damn. Brain aneurysms are terrifying. You're perfectly fine one day and then, gone. :-)

Yeah, I checked to see if anybody had posted immediately before I hit the button.

Damn, that's horrible.

I saw it on the Star Trek Continues Facebook page. He played Sulu on the fan-made imagining of the continuation of the original series.

Well, damn. That sucks. I remember watching him on Robot Wars a long time ago (Before the Robot wars reboot a couple years back). He was awesome on Mythbusters as well.

I gave up on the news years ago. The news only exists to bring you BAD news. It's bad enough with the usual top storylines of local rapes, murders, fires, shootings, et cetera... now, on top of that, we get nothing but horrible political fighting, COVID-19, and the occasional spate of dead famous people (like the past few days, with the chick from "Glee", Travolta's wife, and now Grant). I figure, between this place, Facebook, and Instagram, I already find out enough bad news quickly enough...

Speaking of COVID, I know they're starting to realize this thing does some weird shit (lung issues, vein issues, strokes). Who knows, maybe he had it and was asymptomatic. At this point, anything short of a bullet I'm attributing to coronavirus...
