After 248 episodes spread across 14 seasons, noted MythBusters fan President Barack Obama had some parting thoughts for Jamie Hyneman, Adam Savage and the rest of their team.

The big takeaways: cheers for shutting down moon landing deniers, jeers for never letting the commander-in-chief blow stuff up.

"So after more than 1,000 myths tested, after more than 900 explosions, after 83 miles of duct tape, I just want to say thank you to Adam, Jamie, Kari, Tory, Grant and all of the MythBusters team for entertaining us these 14 years," Obama said, eliciting smiles from the gathered hosts during a Saturday evening reunion special.

"More importantly, thank you for inspiring so many of our young people to ask the big questions about our world, and to seek the answers to math, science and engineering. It's gonna make a real difference to America's future, I promise you."

The post-finale special reunited hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman with Kari Byron, Tory Belleci and Grant Imahara for one last hurrah after the latter three left the show in 2014.

Byron, Belleci and Imahara didn't participate in the series finale, but during the reunion they were each presented with pieces of Buster — the show's beloved crash test dummy — after he was blown up during one of the finale's experiments.
