Good Morning. As a white male named Mike who hosted Shark Week more than once, this headline caught my eye in The Washington Post. I saw it this morning, shortly after awakening in New York City, where I’ve come to promote another Season of Dirty Jobs, which as you may have heard, premieres this Sunday at 8pm on Discovery.
I have not yet had my coffee, or time to formulate a cogent response, but in the course of promoting a new season of Dirty Jobs, (Sunday at 8pm on Discovery,) I suspect I might be asked to respond specifically to this headline. If you have any thoughts or suggestions, please leave them in the comments below.
Unless of course, you’re a white guy named Mike.
I think we’ve all heard quite enough from you…
Mike
PS Dirty Jobs, as you may have heard, is back. Sundays at 8pm.
PPS. Gotta wonder how former Shark Week host, Mike Tyson, is taking the news…
Adam Wingate
Yes, definitely overrepresented

I'm not sure that headline even deserves a response! I imagine that there are a lot of writers somewhere sitting around just dreaming up headlines such as these because they have nothing else to do with their lives!!

So the WaPo thinks Shark Week has too many Great Whites? Are we sure this isn't a headline from the Babylon Bee?

Sometimes no response is the best response. No point in giving credence to such ridiculous claims.

I suggest you repent. It’s time to “do the work,” Mike. You probably didn’t know your name carries an implicit power. Even if you never misused it, it’s still best to acknowledge the advantage you’ve had in television. Someday, you may even be allowed to have an opinion again. Good luck, and God speed.

Life cereal was guilty of too many Mikey for years. And some camel wandering around an office only spoke to Mike, but seemed more concerned about it being Wednesday.
I didn't know it was a bad thing.

Have you considered going by Miguel? The sharks and the news might like you better.

I would like to know which shark complained. We need to get to the bottom of this. It's a dirty job but somebody needs to do it. Man, I wish there was a show about dirty jobs. It would make for good entertainment. Anyhow, back to sharks' feelings not being observed.

Mike Rowe and Michael Scheele , I propose that in response, Discovery invite Mike Rowe, Mike Tyson, and Michael Phelps to co-host next year’s Shark Week and focus on those sharks that frequent New York Harbor.

I think I’m just gonna enjoy my “Mike Privilege” for as long as it lasts. We are obviously trampling on all of the non-Mikes during Shark Week. Someone may be able to help me see my Mikeness. I see a possible book!

Huh. No one ever asked ME to host Shark Week. And I would have done it, too. No one ever considers how we white Mikes feel, knowing that when we entered our school classrooms as children, we always had to make sure our last names were on every paper, because there were six other boys named Mike in the class. Ashleigh didn't have that problem. Or Rodger. Chet? No, not him either. Brittney did have similar issues. But still, it's not like we chose our own name.
it just happens to be the best one.

I love your show and as a mom I’m so excited it’s back! My 3 teenagers will all sit and watch with us. Finding a show we all can agree on is rare. I quietly sit and pray they gain compassion for those that do these jobs and also they contemplate their choices for the future!

Holiday conversation at a family gathering- “So, what have you been up to this past year?”
“Well, I did an intensive study using scientific methodology to conclude that the TV program known as “shark week” has too many white guys on it”

The WaPo is absolute drivel slime media. I'd take it as a compliment if my name was Mike. Keep up the great work Mr. Rowe.
