History Channel television series, hosted and narrated by
Mike Rowe , and produced by
Weller/Grossman Productions . The show covered many subjects and has a "Most Moment" at the end of every episode. The subjects of the series had to do with the "Most" of something. For example, the most isolated place in space (
Mir ), the most infamous symbol (
swastika ), or even the "most" largest island (
Greenland ). In addition, the stories were arranged into categories such as "
close calls ".
The Most detailed the "most" in history—the people, places, and events of the past that had significant impact when they occurred, and how they stood the test of time.
