In addition, several celebrity guests have been brought in to guest on the show, either for their high level of skill or knowledge in a certain area. Famous guests have included world-record-holding card thrower Ricky Jay ("Killer Deck"), Major League Baseball pitcher Roger Clemens ("Baseball Myths"), National Football League Punter Ray Guy ("Helium Football"), the Ask a Ninja ninja, James Bond actress Shirley Eaton ("Pilot 3 - Goldfinger"), MMA fighter Jon Fitch ("Coffin Punch") as well as actor Seth Rogen ("Green Hornet Special"). President Barack Obama asked Jamie and Adam to come meet him in the White House Library, to which they happily obliged. He gave them the President's Challenge, asking them to revisit for the third time the Archimedes' Death Ray myth and report the results. Once again, the myth was busted, but Jamie found an alternate and possibly useful purpose: though the mirrors could not concentrate sunlight to set a ship on fire, the reflected sunlight could blind and distract the crew.

Famous quotes containing the word guests:
“The menu was stewed liver and rice, fricassee of bones, and shredded dog biscuit. The dinner was greatly appreciated; the guests ate until they could eat no more, and Elisha Dyer’s dachshund so overtaxed its capacities that it fell unconscious by its plate and had to be carried home.”
—For the State of Rhode Island, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“When her guests were awash with champagne and with gin,
She was recklessly sober, as sharp as a pin.
An abstemious man would reel at her look,
As she rolled a bright eye and praised his last book.”
—William Plomer (1903–1973)
“When the guests have left, the host is at peace.”
—Chinese proverb.
