I’m a big fan of Mike Rowe, especially after hearing him testify before a Senate committee on America’s arrogance towards ‘blue collar’ technical skills (i.e. welders, electricians, plumbers, etc.).

But before Dirty Jobs and hocking Fusions for Ford, Mike Rowe spent some time on QVC. His most renowned spot, showcased in the video above, was for a cat toy that was a bag that made crunching sounds.

Seeing him in pure comedic free form here is, I believe, a testament to his on-air ability and comedic wit. I genuinely like the guy and think that Ford should consider doing a more unscripted shoot of him and their products.

Let Rowe go back to doing what he does best, impromptu hilarity. Bring back the orange puppet, Doug, and let him and Rowe host a Ford version of QVC. I’ll bet between the two of them it would be pretty damn funny.

I remember as a kid seeing him hosting "Your New Home" on one of the local channels in MD. He would interview real-estate agents in the homes they were trying to sell. Apparently in the first season he was interviewing one of the agents and in the middle of the interview she threw up on him and proceeded to continue the interview.
