The age of quashing myths and misconceptions — preferably with heavy machinery — is drawing to a close: the Discovery Channel's long-running science entertainment program MythBusters is officially ending after the last episode of the upcoming season.

In an exclusive with Entertainment Weekly, the show's stars — hosts and debunkers Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman — confirmed the conclusion of the seven-time Emmy Award-winning cable show, which managed to pack in 2,950 experiments in the 248 episodes of the show's 14-season run. 

On the bright side, Savage and Hyneman have planned on bringing in the big guns for the final season, due to the pair's prior notice of the show's termination, of which they were both long-aware. 

"It was my greatest fear that MythBusters would just stop and we wouldn't be able to do proper final episodes," Savage confessed to 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."
