Dirty Jobs Set to Release Unaired Segment
Discovery Channel’s Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe has been grossing out, appalling, and entertaining television audiences since 2005. During its three year run, we have seen the show’s host learn the arts of everything from a livestock inseminator to a roadkill taxidermist, leaving us complaining about our jobs and career paths just a little bit less. Dirty Jobs has become one of Discovery Channel’s highest rated shows and is now set to release a “best of” DVD on Thursday. However, controversy has erupted over the DVD as it includes never before seen episode, Clydesdales, Gators, and FEMA, in which the shows charismatic host, Mike Rowe, acquires a job at FEMA working as an organizer for Hurricane Katrina relief. Discovery Channel, however, banned the segment from airing on its November 4, 2005 release, claiming this job was just too controversial and emotional so soon after the catastrophe. Discovery did allow the show to air the other segments of the show, in which Mike works as a care taker at Anheuser Busch St. Louis Clydesdales Stables and as a “tagger” of the endangered American Alligator in the Florida Everglades. Rowe said of the episode, “I really should have done those jobs in reverse, because after handling those things a guy really needs a beer.” And as far as his work as a FEMA organizer, “Well most of the jobs I go to, I tend to slow things down, but the way they were going I think I could have put up a fight for employee of the month.” FEMA has released a statement about the segment saying, “This episode will reveal many of the problems and difficulties we had to deal with, and it should shed light on how we did our best in trying to provide relief for the victims of Katrina.” The DVD has also made it into the presidential race as in the latest debate both Senators McCain and Obama referred to the controversial segment and the problems the Bush Administration. Senator Obama brought up the subject saying, “What happened in New Orleans was unacceptable, and I will provide the change this country needs.” Senator McCain later referred to the show saying, “My economic plan will help though individuals that Mike the TV Host works with.” Though Rowe may have not actually gotten physically dirty in this segment, it goes without saying that is was and is the “dirtiest” job he has had to do.
