As the creator and executive producer of Discovery Channel's Emmy-nominated series "Dirty Jobs With Mike Rowe," Mike has spent years traveling the country, working as an apprentice on more than 200 jobs that most people would go out of their way to avoid. From coal mining to roustabouting, maggot farming to sheep castrating, Mike Rowe has worked in just about every industry and filmed the show in almost every state, celebrating the hard-working Americans who make civilized life possible for the rest of us. No one is better suited to the role of good-natured guinea pig than Mike Rowe—mainly because it's not a role. "Dirty Jobs" is entirely unscripted, and Mike Rowe doesn't cheat; he actually does the work, with a sense of humor rarely portrayed in such professions. In fact, the notion of depicting hard work as noble and fun is central to his personal mission. In addition to "Dirty Jobs," Mike Rowe is the announcer on TLC's "American Chopper" and the narrator on SCI FI Chanel's "Ghost Hunters International" and Spike TV's "The Ultimate Fighter." Mike Rowe is also the voice of "Deadliest Catch" and the national spokesman for Ford Trucks. He has traveled extensively for Discovery Channel, hosting "Shark Week" in South Africa, where he field-tested a steel-mesh "shark-suit," and "Egypt Week Live," where he opened and explored newly discovered tombs in the Valley of the Golden Mummies. Before "Dirty Jobs," Mike Rowe's resume was no less eclectic. Without any formal training, Mike Rowe began his career as a professional musician, faking his way into the Baltimore Opera, and earning his union card in the process. Soon thereafter, Mike Rowe crashed an audition for the QVC Cable Shopping Channel, where he was immediately hired to sell dubious merchandise in the middle of the night. There, Mike Rowe impersonated a host for nearly three years, spending most of his tenure on double-secret probation, while learning the ins and outs of live television. After that, Mike Rowe worked when he felt like it, narrating, writing, acting and hosting programs like "Worst Case Scenario" for TBS, "On-Air TV" for American Airlines, "The Most" for History Channel, "No Relation" for FOX and "New York Expeditions" for PBS. In San Francisco, Mike Rowe is best known for his work on CBS as the host of "Evening Magazine," a position he left in 2005 to begin production on "Dirty Jobs." Mike Rowe currently lives in San Francisco, where he sometimes spends up to five days a month.
