Mike Rowe will forever be known as that dude who elevated blue-collar work on his hit Discovery show, "Dirty Jobs," from 2005 to 2012. He inspected sewers, inseminated cows, chipped concrete and tested a shark suit.
The 58-year-old TV host is now juggling multiple less sweaty gigs, including a heartwarming Facebook show "Returning the Favor," a storytelling podcast "The Way I Heard It" and his trippy new Discovery+ show shot mostly in Macon, Georgia, called "Six Degrees With Mike Rowe."

On Monday, RedState’s Kira Davis shared that a new lawsuit has been filed against Big Tech behemoth Facebook, hinting that it might be the first of many from conservatives. As she wrote:
We should expect to see a myriad of lawsuits from individual internet creators and at the forefront is conservative comedian and
BlazeTV host Steven Crowder. Crowder’s lawyer announced Monday that they intended to sue Facebook over unfair competition, and antitrust, among other things.
Then Mike Rowe appeared as a guest on the newest episode of “Louder With Crowder” that dropped on Tuesday. As these things tend to go, the primary reason for Mike’s appearance was to plug his new TV show, but he and Steven found a whole bevy of subjects to chew on — including the reason Mike’s popular streaming show just got canceled by Facebook, and Mike’s opinion on that Big Tech suit.
New Discovery+ show ‘Six Degrees With Mike Rowe’ is a real trip through time

Mike Rowe will forever be known as that dude who elevated blue-collar work on his hit Discovery show, “Dirty Jobs,” from 2005 to 2012. He inspected sewers, inseminated cows, chipped concrete and tested a shark suit.
The 58-year-old TV host is now juggling multiple less sweaty gigs, including a heartwarming Facebook show “Returning the Favor,” a storytelling podcast “The Way I Heard It” and his trippy new Discovery+ show shot mostly in Macon, Georgia, called “Six Degrees With Mike Rowe.”
The six episodes of “Six Degrees” each tie two seemingly unrelated events through the lens of four other events. Examples: Can a mousetrap cure a hangover? How does the diet of Yankee soldiers during the Civil War make his show possible? How does a volcano redeem Eminem, the rap star? It’s a warped way of approaching the old “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” game.
