Mike Rowe Suddenly Walked Off Fox Set, Now He is Speaking Out

Legendary television host Mike Rowe, best known for the show Dirty Jobs, left viewers puzzled and concerned when he suddenly walked off of the set of The Five on Fox News with no explanation during the live show on December 9th.

Rowe received a number of messages about the abrupt exit, so he felt that he needed to address the issue in a Facebook post. He began the post by sharing a message received by a fan, which read:

“A couple days ago you were on The Five, when the Jussie Smollett verdict came in and you walked off the set. I don’t know if they asked you to leave, or if you just didn’t want to be there for a conversation that would turn political, but you walked off the set…carrying your chair!!! I don’t why this struck me as hysterical, but it was. I mean, seriously, who walks off with their own chair?”

Mike Rowe responded to the message as he usually does, in a no-nonsense manner. Apparently, because there was breaking news coming in that he wasn’t specifically booked on the show to discuss, he was asked to exit.

“It was the producer who told me to leave, and I was glad to comply. Breaking news is always a goat rodeo, and my views on Smollett were bound to piss some people off,” he began.

As for taking his chair with him, Rowe stated: “The reason I took my chair, though, is because my microphone cord was attached to it, along with my IFB, and I didn’t want to stand there like an idiot trying to untie the wires on live television. Personally, I think everyone who sits behind a desk on TV should be responsible for their own chair, but I suspect I’m in the minority.”

Alongside his post, he included the video of him carrying the chair off the set. The video can be viewed here.
