Dave's talent as a field producer is critical to the success of Dirty Jobs, because he handles the details that bore and torture me to no end. Continuity issues, clearance issues, copyright issues, releases, etc. Dave is what you might call detail-oriented, as are all effective field pr...

From the shoot, we went to an overpriced sushi joint not far from the Star, where I had every intention of buying the crew dinner and drinks.

Hello Mike,
My question is why do you get up everyday? What force or power drives you? What goals would you like to accomplish in your life? How would you like to be remembered? Is it as Mike Rowe host of Dirty Jobs?

Anyway, Dirty Jobs doesn't have a host. Instead, it has a guest, and the guest is me. It's a huge distinction, and the main reason that I can actually get away with being me.

Mike,
Discovery does indeed have a travel department, but they do not handle the specific bookings for Dirty Jobs, or any other individual series for that matter. That's all done through the production companie(s) responsible for each show. Ultimately, Discovery pays the freight, so th...

I agree completely that there are benefits of manual labor that far exceed a paycheck. And I also agree that many of those benefits are forgotten or ignored by many. But I would not personally describe the "sweetness" of my ideal working sensibility as "hardened." For me, it's more about bala...

I was very pleased and sincerely happy to see Dirty Jobs recognized. Happy for the crew, the production company, the network, the fans, and most of all, the 200 plus genuine “hosts” that have provided Dirty Jobs with a set and a cast these last four years. Everyone knows I’d like more people to...
