Tonight, the Discovery Channel will air Phil Harris' final episode of 'Deadliest Catch.'Harris suffered a stroke while filming the show on Jan. 29. Although he showed signs of recovery after surgery, Harris succumbed on Feburary 9.
Over the past couple of months, PopEater had the chance to talk with Discovery Channel star Mike Rowe about his memories of Harris, as well as Phil's 'Deadliest Catch' pals Jonathan and Andy Hillstrand.
Rowe described Harris death as "emotional" for everyone. "When you lose a guy like that on a show like this, it shifts the focus on the community," the 'Dirty Jobs' host explained. See the video after the jump.
