MythBusters Ending After Season 14

Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman have done close to 3,000 experiments on the show

MythBusters is coming to an end. The Discovery Channel series will finish up its upcoming 14th season and then call it quits, E! News has confirmed. Yes, after close to 250 episodes and nearly 3,000 experiments, Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman are hanging up their TV goggles and aprons.

"MythBusters is—and will always be—an incredibly important part of Discovery's history. Adam and Jamie are enormous talents who have brought learning and science to the forefront of this network, and their legacy will continue to live on over at Science Channel. The MythBusters library will be moving over to Discovery's sister network in 2016, where I know audiences new and old alike will be able to experience and learn with Adam and Jamie and the rest of the MythBusters family," Rich Ross, group president of Discovery Channel, Animal Planet and Science Channel, said in a statement.

In an interview with EW, the duo said they've been preparing for the end of the series and planned the final season accordingly.

"It was my greatest fear that MythBusters would just stop and we wouldn't be able to do proper final episodes," Savage told EW. "So whether it's myths about human behavior or car stories or explosion stories, we tried to find the most awesome example of each category and build on our past history."

"Making MythBusters has fundamentally and irrevocably altered the way I think as a person, as an artist, and as a scientist. I'm glad for the chance to say goodbye with some of the best television we've ever made. I will miss making this show," Savage said in a statement.

"I never dreamed we would be on television at all, much less for such a long time and with so much praise for keeping a thought provoking show on the air. And best of all, we were able to do what we do and still have all our fingers and toes," Hyneman said in a statement.

Look for the duo to do what they do best in the final season: car stunts, social science, viral videos, explosions and rockets.

The final season of MythBusters kicks off Sunday, Jan. 3 at 8 p.m. on Discovery.
