Mike’s Bio
Mike began hosting his own show, Dirty Jobs on Discovery Channel in 2003. The show proved to be so popular that it has had two spinoffs: Mike’s American Story (2008) and Deadliest Catch (2005). He is currently working on a third spinoff, titled Somebody’s Gotta Do It, which will focus on hard-working men and women who risk their lives to make our lives better. However, he is mostly known for exposing viewers to jobs they would never think of doing themselves.
