Dirty Jobs

Stuck in a dead-end job? Daydreaming about a new career? Combing through the classifieds for your next calling? Well, what about these jobs?

Roadkill Collector: Must be able to work long hours braving oncoming traffic while picking up creatures of various size and breed and in various states of decay. Benefits include working outdoors. Strong stomach a plus.

Catfish Noodler: In search of people who can catch potentially 100-pound catfish with their hands only. Must not mind sticking limbs in holes in search of game and getting bitten as a result.

Welcome to Dirty Jobs, the new Discovery Channel series that profiles the unsung American laborers who make their living in the most unthinkable — yet vital — ways.

Our brave host and apprentice Mike Rowe will introduce you to a hardworking group of men and women who overcome fear, danger and sometimes stench and overall ickiness to accomplish their daily tasks. Not one to just stand by, each week, Rowe will assume the duties of the jobs he's profiling, working alongside rattlesnake catchers, fish processors, bee removers, septic-tank technicians and other professionals: average folks tackling extraordinary tasks that simply must get done.

This show is truly one of a kind. Mike Rowe is one hell of a trooper for getting down and dirty during each and every episode, but he sheds good light on those little things that we all take for granted – cleaning the inside of dumpsters, rodent extermination, etc. I love that he gets into the mix and actually does the job just as the people who do it day in and day out do. It would be easy enough to just have Rowe narrate as the workers do their jobs, but he demonstrates hands-on how truly disgusting some jobs are. Nicely done, Discovery. Read more
