Description: Dirty Jobs is a program on the Discovery Channel in which host Mike Rowe is shown performing difficult, strange, and/or messy occupational duties alongside the typical employees. The show premiered with three pilot episodes in November 2003. It returned as a series on July 26, 2005. The episodes shown on the European Discovery Channel sometimes include scenes that were not included in the U.S. version.[citation needed] There is also a European edition of the show, hosted by Danish goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel.

An Australian version of the show commenced airing on the Nine Network from October 7, 2007.

The appeal of the show is the juxtaposition of Mike Rowe, a well-spoken man of television with a sharp, sarcastic, self-deprecating wit, the blue-collar situations in which he's put, and the colorful personalities of the men and women who actually do that job for a living. ( Edited by GamerGirl)
