Savage has stated that he is unlikely to work with Hyneman on any future projects, stating that although they worked well together as a classic example of a [[double act]] (with Hyneman as the [[straight man]]), their personalities clashed off-screen and on-screen. Savage suspected that both Hyneman and he were enjoying spending time apart from each other.<ref>{{cite web|title=MythBusters' Adam Savage won't work with Jamie Hyneman anymore |website=[[Business Insider]] |url=http://www.businessinsider.com/mythbusters-adam-savage-wont-work-with-jamie-hyneman-anymore-2016-5|access-date=May 18, 2016}}</ref>
