New Discovery+ show ‘Six Degrees With Mike Rowe’ is a real trip through time Rodney Ho, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution 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.
