I thought the same way too when he was on San Francisco's Evening Magazine. I haven't watched Dirty Jobs since he "founded" it on EM about 10 years ago.
I agree. And DH has said that he has a "man crush" on him because he's just so darn cool. If you want to become an even bigger fan of him, google QVC videos of him. He used to work for them and got fired like 5 times for being a bit inappropriate as a host of one of the shopping shows. SO funny!!!
Re: Mike Rowe
Wait....he sings??
He once cooked in the nude and it's on video. Delicious!
He was a professional opera singer in Baltimore, I think.
