I've never really watched the show and don't know much about it, but I see Mike Wolfe all the time and he's a great guy. He's done a lot for our community (Columbia, TN) He's very humble and friendly and down to earth.
I actually met him backstage at the Ryman in 2012 and talked to him for 30 minutes about music. I had no clue who he was. Someone told me later he had a show.
