Mike Rowe

You all probably recognize rugged and handsome Mike Rowe from the show "Dirty Jobs" on the Discovery Channel.

Well, what you may not have known is that Mr. Rowe was previously professional singer with Baltimore Opera Company and a host on the QVC network! There are many YouTube clips of him taking calls on QVC while selling porcelain dolls and lava lamps....

Mr. Rowe apparently did a lot of voice over work, including a alleged narration for the "Wunder Boner" infomercial. I thought it was a fake product too, but it's real AND it's still sold today in outdoors shops! I can't help but giggle when the chubby man says "My wife would like that!"
