I always enjoy reading Mike Rowe’s blog entries. The host of Discovery Channel’s Dirty Jobs is often noticed at various places he goes to, just as anyone on television is and in Mike’s latest entry, he offers an insight into how his mother and father perceive their son’s fame. Here’s a snippet:
My father is still appalled that Discovery actually gave me my own show, and is still trying to process the very notion that strangers might go out of their way to watch it. At the game, Dad was confronted with the reality that such people not only watch, but might also appear in person, for the specific purpose of meeting his son. It is simply too much for him to digest.
