Yeeeeah, no, that's weird. Discovery rebooting it with different people would almost certainly suck, if you just want to hang out with that sort of engineery-makery-SFXy content there's tons of ways to do it now and Savage is a successful youtuber in that space. Pair it with Imahara's hearbreaking passing and that just sounds all kinds of depressing.
I'd sure love it if Discovery wasn't actively burying the old episodes, though. That'd be nice.

No need to say "almost certainly" because Discovery did that exact same thing six years ago and it did suck.
Fascinatingly they actually ran a televised competition to see who the new hosts would be.
It would be cool if they got certain, specific people. I would pay to watch it if Allen Pan were hosting, and he got to pick the rest of the hosts
I can only imagine how insane that show would be if Allan brought on William Osman and Kevin (backyard scientist) to bring that full "meth engineering" vibe to doing science.
My dream Mythbusters would be Allen Pan and Grady Hillhouse as the hosts, with Jabrils, Michael Reeves, and Simone Giertz as the build team. I feel like that covers all the bases. The funny guy and straight man hosts, and the computer guy, adrenaline addict, and levelheaded smart woman build team, with frequent guest hosts William Osman, Kevin Backyardscientist, Nigel Braun, Alex Apollonov, and James Hobson
There are so many people with such dense resumes and existing fanbases, and Discovery hired two, uh, guys. No offense to Jon and Brian, I just like everyone else named in this comment better
