HOME > Miscellaneous Reality TV Discovery developing new projects with 'Dirty Jobs' star Mike Rowe
By Christopher Rocchio, 07/31/2009
Discovery Channel has announced that it is in the process of developing several new projects with Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe.
Discovery Channel is also "actively developing" other yet-to-be-revealed projects with Rowe, in which he will host and serve as an executive producer, according to the network.
In addition, Discovery Channel also announced that 11 new Dirty Jobs fifth-season episodes will premiere this October. Some of the unpopular and unpleasant professions Rowe will undertake in the new episodes include hydrodam mechanics, cedar log peeling, mattress recycling and fireworks manufacturing, among others. Dirty Jobs fifth season premiered in January and included the reality series' 200th job special, which was broadcast in February and included Rowe reflecting back on some of his experiences during past jobs, examining Dirty Jobs' evolution, talking about the toughest co-workers he's dealt with, and revisiting the show's most memorable and unexpected moments. In addition, the series was recently nominated for its second consecutive Emmy for Outstanding Reality Program. Discovery Channel will air a Dirty Jobs Labor Day marathon on Monday, September 7 beginning at 9AM ET/PT.
