Biography
Mike Rowe is best known as the host of the groundbreaking television hit Dirty Jobs, in which each week he took on the tasks and responsibilities of difficult, strange, and often messy jobs such as sheep breeder, garbage collector, and coal miner. Mike can more recently be seen as the host of Somebody's Gotta Do It, where he scours the country for people who, he says, "do what they do because of a weird mix of love, compulsion, obsession, dedication -- whatever it is."
Mike was inspired to create the program Dirty Jobs by his grandfather, a man who didn’t make it to the 8th grade but could fix anything. Throughout the show's eight-season run on the Discovery Channel, Mike completed over 300 jobs and traveled to all 50 states. The show challenged white collared Americans to change their perception and valorization of various necessary jobs and the workers who do them, who are often demeaned by mainstream society.
Outside of his work on television, Mike has become one of the nation’s leading advocates of the need and honor of blue-collar work. He launched the mikerowesWORKS foundation to help debunk the idea that a four-year degree is the only path to success and to raise awareness of the millions of jobs that need to be filled in the U.S.
