Salena Zito joined the Washington Examiner in 2016 as a Pittsburgh-based columnist and reporter and is also a columnist at the New York Post. She is the author of The Great Revolt. She previously wrote for the Atlantic and spent the last 11 years at the Pittsburgh Tribune Review as both a reporter and a columnist covering national politics.
Rowe, best known for hosting the Discovery Channel's long-running Dirty Jobs, is also involved in shows called The Story Behind The Story, The Way I Heard It, Somebody's Got to Do It, How America Works, and Six Degrees: A History Show For People Who Don't Love History. He also launched the Knobel Tennessee Whiskey company, and he is known for giving away $8 million in work ethic scholarships through his foundation.
The best way to describe Rowe’s life journey is as an intentionally unintentional intentional life filled with purpose, even though he says he sometimes fails to grasp that purpose in the moment. Within 24 hours, he was trying to fix a sewer in San Francisco, covered in human feces, and after a lot of hard selling, few people at the time were looking for a show that was a love letter to hard work. Nonetheless, it soon became the basis of his hit show Dirty Jobs, which spent nine years filling a void no one knew was missing in American culture: a love and respect for honest hard work.
Rowe has a way of touching the common man that is ingrained in his sensibility but also his life experiences. His grandfather never got past middle school yet went on to become a master electrician and a guiding influence to his young grandson. In return, Rowe honored him when naming the Knobel whiskey he founded a year ago.
“I've been working on this project that allowed me to have unscripted conversations with people in the energy and medical industries as well as teachers, and I found myself wanting to talk to farmers and their relationship with local restaurants,” he said. “His dream was to get quality beef onto the menus of local establishments; the place we were in made an onion burger, and the chef let me go back and make the most ugliest, beautiful piece of food I've ever seen. It was just misshapen, and it smelled so good, and we slathered it with cheese,” he said.
