Martha Gets Down and Dirty is an American reality television series which premiered on Discovery+ on July 1, 2021. Set on Martha Stewart's Bedford, New York farm, the series follows Martha Stewart, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Executive Director Kevin Sharkey, and Stewart's gardener, Ryan McCallister, as they complete a variety of gardening and domestic projects, with Stewart offering lifestyle tips to fans and celebrity guests. The title references both the mucky nature of gardening and the unexpectedly risqué humor employed by Stewart therein.[1][2][3] It became best known for an exchange between Stewart and Kim Kardashian where Stewart questioned Kardashian's capacity for daily chores.[4][5] According to John Anderson of The Wall Street Journal, "you could cut the tension with a cake spatula."[6]
