Question Asked: Who Is The Narrator On Discovery’s Time Warp?
This was a tough one to get to the bottom of. But I believe I’ve gotten the right answer.
Many different people think the voice belongs to many different people. Though, according to a few reliable sources, the narrator’s name is Eric Boardman.
He’s not credited on the Time Warp website, though at one point he was. (Thanks Web Archive!) Which leads me to believe that maybe he’s being replaced between seasons two and three.
There’s about a dozen threads on the Time Warp forums that cite how much people dislike his voice and jokes. Maybe Discovery took that to heart, and are replacing him?
I’ve sent an e-mail to Discovery, asking for confirmation on Eric Boardman doing the narrating, and will update this post if/when I hear back.
Question Asked: Did Jenna Fischer Actually Walk Across The Coals On The Outing Episode Of “The Office?”
According to an interview she gave a few days before the episode aired, yes.
Jenna Fischer, who plays once-secretary-now-salesperson Pam on NBC’s hit show “The Office” was thrilled that the insurance company let her do the walk, without any trickery. Which shows how truly safe the hot coal walk really is.
When asked if Fischer would be doing any other daring feats for the show, she replied:
I’d like to see Pam skydive, or bungie jump.
So we would, Jenna. So would we.
Question Asked: Who Does The Voice Over on MythBusters?
I’ve wondered this myself, but apparently never enough to look it up, because I didn’t know the answer.
It, surprisingly, wasn’t that hard to find. However, there’s a number of different answers.
The “real” version of the show, that is, the version that is filmed and airs in the United States is narrated by Robert Lee. Who is actually British.
What’s even more odd, and something I found out on a trip to London a couple of years ago, is that other countries re-record the voice over. Seems like sort of a waste of money, doesn’t it?
The British version of the show is narrated by Robin Banks.
The Australian version of the show is narrated by Nikos Andronikos.
