Earlier today we mentioned the upcoming Labor Day marathon Discovery is hosting for Dirty Jobs. This afternoon Discovery sent out a press release which included some information I’m very excited to hear. They talk about when new episodes are coming!

(Silver Spring, Md.) – This Labor Day, Discovery Channel honors the hard working men and women who make civilized life possible for the rest of us with an all-day marathon of the Emmy(R)-nominated series, Dirty Jobs. Starting at 9AM ET/PT on Monday, September 6, viewers go along with host and creator Mike Rowe as he travels across the country serving as apprentice to America’s unsung heroes.

From cleaning buoys off the coast of San Francisco to collecting alligator eggs in Louisiana to making bologna in Palmyra, Pennsylvania, Mike educates and entertains viewers on these dirty jobs, while showing the importance of why they’re necessary for civilization. The marathon will air viewer favorites until 3AM ET/PT.

DIRTY JOBS, which was nominated for two Emmys(R) this year, is one of Discovery Channel’s most popular and long-running series. New episodes will air this fall on Wednesdays at 9PM ET/PT, beginning October 19.

How’s about that? October 19 is when we’ll be seeing Mike getting new dirt under his nails as he shows tough-working Americans performing some of the more difficult, dirty jobs.

Please note that that bolded line from the PR contains a typo. It states new episodes will air on Wednesdays. It’s actually Tuesdays. MythBusters will be airing on Wednesday nights.
