I'll bet he found out about the nod while on the toilet or something silly like that. Good luck, Kid. I wonder if his life is all that different than Kathy Griffin's?

If...excuse me...WHEN you win, who gets to put the Emmy on their mantle??!

Mike, I'm afraid that now you are definitely on the fast track to becoming an A-list celebrity. Just remember to thank us "little people" when accepting the award! >snort<

Liz

Congratulations! You guys deserve to win and I hope that you do. <happy hugs>

Lynn

Congrats and here's hoping DJ wins. Just one complaint though - where is Dave Barsky's name? I thought he was a producer as well?

Oh well, Dave you deserve a nod too! We all love you!

Susan

I am proud to offer my big, dirty hug and congratulations to Mike, Dave, and Crew; Pilgrim Films and Television; and Discovery Channel for their Emmy nomination.

It's interesting that host category is for reality-competition programs and reality programs but all the nominated hosts (Seacrest, Bergeron, Mandel, Klum, and Probst) are from the competition-based programs but not one host was selected from a non-competition reality show.

Karen

Congrats to everyone involved with the show! I was disappointed when Mike's name wasn't mentioned in the host category, but so happy to see the show got nominated. Way to go, guys!

Sadie Mae

Good question angel! Where is Mr. ProducerDave's name?

I too don't get this list. The Emmy people probably felt bad for Seacrest after providing him with horrendous material for last years program:

The Amazing Race is the only Reality-comp I watch season in-season out. So I thought the Academy would've snuck in Phil Keoghan and his "Philimination", esp. with the stranglehold TAR has had on the Best Reality Series award.

Agree it's a shame they chose not to venture out of the Reality-competition genre.

Quote Tazma:
"My conclusion: Mike either needs to start wearing a game show host jacket again, or take off his shirt more."


Funny how Mike does all the things not expected of the other "hosts" on their respective reality shows. On Dirty Jobs, Mike sings, dances, endures a variety of physical challenges, struts his stuff & shows off those name brand D!ck!es on the runway (see "Billboard Installer").




*On another note, so happy with the major noms for the little-seen "Damages"! woot!

Dani

Kuddos to Mike et al. A well deserved nod from the committee

As the saying goes, it's an honor just to be nominated

*is it just me, or is this day DRAGGING?!*

Mike and the gang,

Congratulations on the Emmy nomination!! It's about time!!

Peggy

A hearty congratulations on your Emmy nod.

I'll be rooting for you.


Rita

Skatefan,

I love Phil and The Amazing Race. I started with Season 2 and it's the only reality-competition show that has kept my interest.

Maybe the Emmy nomination voters are in the mindset that "host" equals gameshow in reality TV programming without expanding the term to include the style of hosting that Mike does on DJ. Maybe he is not seen as fitting into the mold of a typical TV host with the usual duties and a live studio audience and/or one that votes for elimination.

Karen

Whoo Hooo Dirty Jobs, Mike & Crew!

We knew it all along-)

Lisa <whoo hoo!>

To Mike & everybody involved with DJ,

Congratulations!

Now where's the party gonna be??!??

Meg

Well, now I have a reason to watch the Emmy's! When will it air??????

Angie

Wow, an Emmy???!! Oh my, that is such good news. Congratulations Mike and all involved. This show isn't our little secret anymore, is it? I'm so pleased you'd think I had something to do with it, rather than just sit in front of the TV and be amazed at how much I enjoy the show, week after week.

I have a feeling that this catagory doesn't air on the Emmy's Emmy's ,but probably the Technical Emmy's.

Nicole

Hooray, Mike, Barsky, Doug, and all that keep DJ rolling
You will win.

Jorey

Well crap, I HOPE it airs! How big of a rip-off would that be if Mike won an Emmy and we couldn't even watch it?!

Congratulations for the recognition of all your hard work and dedication to Dirty Jobs, Mike. How could you possibly lose? Though, even a nomination is an honor.

Best of luck!

Tia

(PS Lisa, I LOVE Antique Roadshow...does that make me weird?)
