Former “Dirty Jobs” star Mike Rowe is coming clean about the women in his family. “I wasn’t really surprised by anything in the book because I grew up with a front row seat to my grandmother, who lived next door,” Rowe, 56, told Fox News. “The surprise for me is today, the fact that an 80-year-old woman decided she wanted to write a book. And did it. And it’s terrific. To see the thing on a bestseller list… I think the real story is it’s never too late. You can be 80 and you can write a book,” Rowe said. Peggy told Fox News it was a no-brainer to reveal her family history to the world because readers could easily identify with the comical, yet relatable Thelma or “Nana” as Rowe refers to his beloved grandmother.
