Dirty Jobs

Dirty Jobs is a program on the Discovery Channel in which host Mike Rowe is shown performing difficult, strange, disgusting, and/or messy occupational duties alongside the typical employees. The dirty job often includes cameraman Doug Glover and field producer Dave Barsky getting just as dirty as Rowe does.

A worker takes on Rowe as a fully-involved assistant during a typical work day, during which he works hard to complete every task as best he can despite discomfort, hazards or situations that are just plain disgusting. Each episode ends with a segment, usually shot at a previous dirty job.

Where Rowe tells the viewers that the show's continued existence depends on viewer submissions of suggestions for additional dirty jobs, and instructs them to go to the show's website for details on how to submit ideas. When Mike reads the very last piece of viewer mail in the viewer's choice episode to be an opera singer.
