Julie: What comedians do you enjoy? I love Robin Williams ... he makes me smile before he even says a word! Has anyone thought of doing a show harvesting flowers or plants that are used in perfumes and cosmetics? On the silly side, would you ever appear on "Dancing With the Stars"? Thank you again, kind sir. There is a hammock for you under the trees at the Happy Hammock Oasis. Hugs, Julie

Mike Rowe: I also enjoy Robin Williams, but frankly think he is a more talented actor than a comedian. Currently, I laugh at Chris Rock. I just saw Dennis Miller's stand-up special and something flew from my nose, which is high praise indeed. We have coming up shortly my favorite flower-related show of all time. Without giving too much away, I deconstruct the floats in the Rose Bowl. It might not sound like much, but every float was covered with rotten vegetation and putrid fruit. There will be no perfume, but it will be a most dirty evening. While I love to dance, the stars are a bit too Hollywood for me.

Discovery.com: Thanks for a great chat! Unfortunately, we are almost out of time. Do you have any parting words for us?

Mike Rowe: I was serious when I said "Dirty Jobs" aspires to be a different kind of show and very serious about relying on the viewers. Not only for ideas but, perhaps, for something more in the coming season. For those of you who are not camera shy keep an open mind and keep watching. Thanks a lot. See you soon someplace DIRTY!

Discovery.com: Well, thanks for joining our live chat. In case you missed anything, look for the transcript of this chat on the fan site later this week, and stay tuned to Discovery.com for more "Dirty Jobs" features and updates.

Discovery.com: Don't miss the next "Dirty Jobs" premiere, "Plumber," on Monday, Tuesday, March 14, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
