<p>Former &#8220;Shark Week&#8221; host <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/mike-rowes-mom-reveals-the-weirdest-thing-he-ever-sent-her-while-working-dirty-jobs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Rowe</a> had a few thoughts about a recent Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/12/05/shark-week-diversity-study/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> claiming that the Discovery Channel&#8217;s regular summer event &#8220;lacks diversity&#8221; and &#8220;overrepresents men named Mike.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rowe, who hosted the annual week-long event in both 2006 and 2008, responded to the Post&#8217;s assertion by crowd-sourcing a response via social media. Having not yet had his coffee, he explained, he needed a little outside help.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FTheRealMikeRowe%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02dNZdZL3g2FKwVFSzP8TPEhhfaqnNim8LBLWZyW8i1Yk4oZLRNTUCjCf2Xpdu2WY9l&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="617" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>&#8220;Good Morning. As a white male named Mike who hosted Shark Week more than once, this headline caught my eye in The Washington Post,&#8221; Rowe began, explaining that he had come across the article while in New York City to promote another new season of the show that made him a household name: &#8220;Dirty Jobs.&#8221; The new season, he noted, is set to premiere on Discovery on Sunday at 8 p.m.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have not yet had my coffee, or time to formulate a cogent response, but in the course of promoting a new season of &#8216;Dirty Jobs,&#8217; (Sunday at 8pm on Discovery,) I suspect I might be asked to respond specifically to this headline,&#8221; Rowe continued, calling on his fans to make suggestions as to how he should respond.</p>
<p><b data-stringify-type="bold"><a class="c-link" tabindex="-1" href="https://get.dailywire.com/readers-pass/read-only-v2?utm_campaign=dwplus&amp;utm_medium=editorial&amp;utm_source=dwsite&amp;cid=dwplus&amp;mid=z&amp;xid=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/readers-pass/read-only-v2?utm_campaign=dwplus&amp;utm_medium=editorial&amp;utm_source=dwsite&amp;cid=dwplus&amp;mid=z&amp;xid=0" data-sk="tooltip_parent" data-remove-tab-index="true" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-54730">TIRED OF THE LEGACY MEDIA’S BIAS CONTROLLING THE NARRATIVE AND OBSCURING THE TRUTH? JOIN US.</a></b></p>
<p>&#8220;If you have any thoughts or suggestions, please leave them in the comments below,&#8221; Rowe added, warning, &#8220;Unless of course, you’re a white guy named Mike. I think we’ve all heard quite enough from you …&#8221;</p>
<p>Rowe concluded the message with a postscript reminding fans once again about the upcoming Sunday premiere of the new season of &#8220;Dirty Jobs&#8221; — and then added a second postscript, musing, &#8220;Gotta wonder how former Shark Week host, Mike Tyson, is taking the news …&#8221;</p>
<p>During 2020&#8217;s Shark Week, <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/watch-as-people-frantically-duck-under-tables-ice-cold-mike-tyson-never-moves-when-man-pulls-a-gun/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tyson</a> participated in a stunt labeled &#8220;Rumble on the Reef,&#8221; during which he placed a shark into tonic immobility by grabbing it by the nose. &#8220;I am champion of the shark!&#8221; Tyson shouted upon his success.</p>
