Rowe's an all-around good guy, conservative and he's big on encouraging young men & women to consider employment in the blue-collar trades.

Discovery channel needs to pay him what they agreed on.

Good luck in your lawsuit, Mike.
When it comes to the Entertainment Industry, even a well known talent such as Mike Rowe often needs to fight and aggressively pursue what is owed to them.

Maybe he’s acting as his own manager at this point in his career.
Best case scenario, a ‘nice’ settlement will be offered to Mike Rowe. “A million here, a million there, soon you’re talking about real money!”

For years, I’ve indulged in a fantasy that my older daughter, who’s a very accomplished woman, would meet Mike Rowe on an airplane and they would become a couple. Sigh. Instead, she usually ends up with losers, whom she ends up carrying around, then finally has to dump as dead weight.

This stuff sounds like it should have been covered in the original contract.

Someone has a crap lawyer. These complaints seem “obvious.”

I would think his pay would legally be a matter between him and his production company.

The cable company would be acquiring and paying his production company for contractually specified broadcast rights:

X episodes for n*X broadcasts over our network.
