Big Rig racer and Hollywood stunt driver, Mike Ryan, makes his Discovery Channel debut in the hit show "MythBusters" tonight at 9 p.m. (E/P)

"MythBusters," hosted by Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, is a 60-minute show that recreates scenarios proving various common myths true or false.
The two hosts take viewers on the journey of the steps to recreate these events starting with a summary of the myth. Then, Adam and Jamie shop for the necessary materials to conduct the mythic event, and finally, often times with the help of professionals, the myths are physically reenacted.
The MythBusters episode, starring Ryan as an expert driver and stunt coordinator, is entitled "Big Rig Myths." During the episode, two myths are looked into: Is it possible to drive a car up a ramp and into/pull out of a big rig truck at 55 mph as seen in the 1980s television show, "Knight Rider" and can one really save fuel and money by driving within a big rig truck's draft.
Ryan drives a big rig truck for both of these recreations, and you will have to watch to see if the myths are, in fact, plausible.
