Dirty Jobs is the Discovery Channel's look at the unappealing, unsanitary, or simply unbelievable work that goes on all over the United States every day. Host Mike Rowe visits workers and learns their trades. He then puts what he learns into action, performing the dirty job himself. From diving for golf balls to recycling sludge, Rowe suffers for the amusement and edification of the television audience.
