I found out recently that Mike Rowe used to be a host on QVC during the wee morning hours in the early 90's so i looked him up on youtube and omg he was absolutely hilarious. he makes fun of all the products he's describing and even complains about his job in general. it looks like a sketch off snl almost.
i admit to being an avid qvc viewer (although i haven't bought anything in a long time),and even though i come across some worthwhile products most of what they sell is overpriced junk. but even a big qvc fan like me can see the humor in this. in the link below, Mike tries selling a bizarre cat toy. check it out:

He also has done Tylenol commercials. I am not sure if he was seen in the commercials or just his voice was heard but I know he has done some work solely because of his voice. He does the voice on DEADLIEST JOB, the crab fisherman show. I love Mike Rowe. He is one hunka hunka burning love. :kiss:

I saw Mike Rowe on Rachael Ray a couple months back and he said that working at QVC was the dirtiest job he has ever done :) lol!
