Just one of the latest little “surprises” from the Year 2020 was Grant Imahara suddenly dying at age 49. Naturally, I went over to YouTube just to watch some old Mythbusters clips in memoriam. Pretty much the first thing that came up was this full episode from 2010–the “President’s Challenge” episode, featuring Barack Obama being sober and dignified (and a little bit nerdy), talking about being a fan of Mythbusters (along with his daughters) and how important it is to encourage young people to get interested in STEM and just generally being Presidential.
Boy, that was a double gut-punch of painful nostalgia.
