The guy just wanted to have a show (and make a ton of money .... it's what blue collar workers DO !) showing America the jobs (mostly) men do that America never sees and many times never bothers to care about.
When you have to have six takes on slipping in hog shit .... you're dedicated.
Mike deserves every BIT of respect
Watched a special he had on TV called "How Booze built America". He is a very funny guy, this special is very funny.
He starts out with a bottle of beer in his hand and says I know some of you like to play the take a drink game, so for this one, its America that we drink to. He discourages others from doing it, then proceeds to take a sip every time he says America. He is definitely one of the good guys.
