Why You Should Love Mike Rowe (if you don’t already):
Mike Rowe Takes His Pants Off
5. Dirty Jobs – coolest show ever on Discovery Channel and he even spoofed it to Sesame Street! Which we all know is the ultimate stamp of celebrity status: when the Muppets come calling.
Mike’s so cool that he is probably the ONLY celebrity that has been invited to use “the back door” to Oscar’s trash can. Confused? Watch this clip.
He also narrates one of the most addictive shows on television, Deadliest Catch. How on earth I find myself watching grizzly crab fisherman haul traps at 2AM I will never know. But I’m pretty sure the sound of Mike Rowe’s voice had something to do with it. I’ve come pretty close to running out and buying a Ford too after he pops on my TV screen.
The guy is that good.
Some other more random reasons why you should love him:
4. He may be über manly but he can sing opera. Or at least he used to, in high school. True fact. I learned this from listening to his interview with Adam Carolla on this podcast.
3. In high school, he rode a horse to school, in Baltimore. That’s 100% true. How friggin’ cool is that?? Again inside knowledge gained from this podcast -but I really wish he went on the Parent Experiment and talked about his work with kids and the boy scouts and stuff. Now THAT would be a GREAT show!
2. Mike Rowe is 100% American and he cares about American jobs and people. He’s established a cool site called MikeRoweWorks.com because he’s concerned about the decline in the blue collar jobs and skill set in our country. He’s passionate about that one – and it’s an interesting topic as it flies in the face of everything should be computer, technology driven. His point: you still need electricians and tradesmen and we need to value their professions. Good point Mike.
And the number 1 reason why you should love Mike Rowe like I do?
1. He’s passionate about fighting breast cancer. He has signed on to be the Lee Jeans Celebrity Ambassador for Oct. 7th Denim Day. His mother, Peggy is a breast cancer survivor and he, like me, is passionate about fighting the disease. He even takes his pants off for the campaign!
Watch this adorable video and you will fall in love with him all over again.
