You may recognize Mike Rowe's distinctive voice from Discovery's hit shows Deadliest Catch and Ghost Lab, but Mike is best known as the host and creator of the Emmy-nominated series Dirty Jobs.

On Dirty Jobs, Mike travels the country looking for the toughest, stinkiest jobs and meets the hardworking heroes who aren't afraid to do them. Over the years, he's helped inseminate a turkey, farmed maggots and even gave his cameraman a chest wax.

Having completed short stints at almost 300 dirty jobs, it's all in a day's work for Mike.
