He also used to be a presenter/host on QVC.

BTW: I think that Dirty Jobs is one of the best shows on TV.

I knew he was an opera singer but didn't know he played piano.

My favorite thing about that show is his reaction to many of the situations he encounters. I'm sure he thought it could be a cool job but then quickly found out just how dirty many of the jobs could be. The complete shock on his face and the unscripted things he says are are unbeatable!
