Synopsis

Watch Dirty Jobs Season 8 online on iFILM: eleven episodes, 2011, of Mike Rowe signing up for work no résumé would ever list. Discovery's reality staple keeps rolling.

Season 8 drags its host all over the map. He squeezes eggs from fish in New Mexico, gives a goat acupuncture, digs dinosaur bones near Moab and lends a hand to a "doomsday" seed bank stockpiling whatever might outlive a catastrophe. After that come a landfill, a medical-waste depot, an onion processor and a 137-year-old secret society stitching cow bladders for a Mardi Gras float. A radio tower in North Dakota caps the run — by now Rowe has worked in all fifty states.

The season's real draw is its two off-the-cuff conversation specials: unscripted Rowe, no second takes, the reason a lot of people tune in at all. Stream Dirty Jobs Season 8 online on iFILM.
