He is the host of The Joe Rogan Experience, a podcast he founded in 2009. With a variety of guests, he discusses current affairs, humor, politics, philosophy, science, and hobbies.
In August 1988, Rogan began his comedy career in the Boston area. After arriving in Los Angeles in 1994, he signed an exclusive development arrangement with Disney. He has been on a number of television shows, including Hardball and NewsRadio.
Rogan hosted Fear Factor from 2001 to 2006. He then focused on his stand-up career after quitting Fear Factor. Later, he hosted a number of comedy specials. Rogan sparked outrage by hosting physicians on his show who disseminated disinformation regarding the Corona Virus.

Rogan was born Roman Catholic. He attended Catholic school until first grade. Later, he abandoned organized religion and now considers himself an agnostic.
Joe Rogan as UFC Commentator and fear factor host:
Rogan began his career as backstage and post-fight interviewer for the MMA company Ultimate Fighting Championship. On February 7, 1997, he competed in UFC 12: Judgement Day in Dothan, Alabama.
In 1994, he became interested in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and was hired by the company as Sussman. He was acquainted with its co-creator and initial producer, Campbell McLaren.
He left after two years because his compensation did not cover the expense of travel to the events.
He attended a few events and became friends with the network’s new president, Dana White. He was the one who hired him as a color commentator. Rogan, on the other hand, was initially rejected because he “just wanted to go to the fights and drink.”
White was able to recruit Rogan for free in 2002 in return for premium event tickets for himself and his pals. Rogan accepted money for the role as a pundit after roughly 15 free appearances. He worked alongside Mike Goldberg until the end of 2016.
Rogan signed a three-album in 1999 contract with Warner Bros. Records. They began making tentative arrangements to feature in The Joe Rogan Show, his own prime-time TV sitcom on Fox.
He recorded his debut stand-up comedy CD in two performances at the Comedy Connection at Faneuil Hall in Boston in December 1999. It was released in August 2000 as I’m Gonna Be Dead Someday… It garnered national recognition on The
Howard Stern Show and Napster downloads. Rogan’s song “Voodoo Punanny,” which he created when Warner recommended they make a radio-friendly tune, was later published as a single.
Rogan’s success as host of Fear Factor led to other possibilities in the television industry. In 2002, he played Chris, the lover of lead character Maya Gallo, in the episode “A Beautiful Mind” of Just Shoot Me. Rogan was the emcee for the 2002 Blockbuster Hollywood Spectacular, a Christmas parade in Hollywood, in December 2002. Following the departure of original presenters Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla, Rogan became the new co-host of The Man Show on Comedy Central for its fifth season. He began in August 2003, with fellow comic Doug Stanhope.
However, a year into the program, the hosts had content problems with Comedy Central and the show’s producers. Rogan remembered and said, “I was little deceived… ‘Show nudity, and we’ll blank it out, I was a little misled … I was told: ‘Show nudity, and we’ll blur it out. Swear and we’ll bleep it out.’ That hasn’t been the case…” The program was cancelled in 2004.
Around this time, Rogan was in talks to host his own radio program, but the talks fell through owing to his already hectic schedule.
