‘Dirty Jobs: Rowe’d Trip’ Preview
According to Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe’s personal website, he was hoping to begin filming a new season of Dirty Jobs beginning in March, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he and the show’s producers had to come up with something else — and that’s how Rowe’d Trip was born.
The special show is four episodes long and features Rowe reuniting with his core Dirty Jobs crew: David Barsky, Doug Glover, Troy Paff, and Chris Jones. They all set out in an RV where they will check in with “a few of our favorite Jobbers.” Along the way, they “catch up, clown around, and have a few laughs, usually at Barsky’s expense. Mostly though, we look back at our favorite moments from the show.”
Rowe also assured viewers that they were all tested for COVID-19 and none of them had it. He also cracked, “Yes, it’s likely our time on the show has rendered us immune to everything.”
In a Discovery Channel press release, Rowe said the original Dirty Jobs changed his life forever and he loved coming back together for this special series.
“Dirty Jobs Forrest Gumped it’s way on the air in 2004 and changed my life forever. What began as a simple tribute to my grandfather, has evolved into the granddaddy of ‘essential work’ programming, and I’m humbled everyday by the number of people who continue to watch,” Rowe said. “Personally, I’ve missed the camaraderie more than anything else – the fun of traveling with a tight-knit crew, meeting the finest people you could ever hope to know, and shooting in all 50 states many times over. Looking back at my favorite moments with the old crew while hitting the open road was the perfect way to reunite, especially at a time like the one we’re all living through now. I know that fans of the show will have as much fun watching, as we did filming.”
The press release also teased that Rowe and the original crew “set out on a road trip across the country to revisit past jobbers and tell new stories. Each episode will follow a specific theme – Infrastructure, Innovator, Isolation, and Animals and lead viewers on an epic road trip, culminating in a stop at a unique destination.”
Dirty Jobs: Rowe’d Trip airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on the Discovery Channel.
