The beloved comedian surprised his longtime friend and Comedy Central alum, Donnell Rawlings, two hours and twenty minutes into his scheduled interview with Rogan. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Joe Rogan (@joerogan) Though the visit was brief, Chappelle was able to share his take on current events and how the coronavirus outbreak’s early days impacted him during his scheduled performances. “The last night we [Chappelle and Rawlings] were on tour, in Milwaukee. It was the last night between shows—it’s a two-show night—and...

Earlier this month, Maynard James Keenan revealed that he contracted COVID-19 in February while touring Australia and was still feeling residual effects eight months later. During a recent visit to The Joe Rogan Experience, the Tool/A Perfect Circle/Puscifer frontman went into more detail about his ongoing battle with the disease and relayed a message to anyone who thinks the pandemic is a hoax. After explaining that food began to taste weird in Australia — a symptom that was unknown at the time — Maynard said he instantly fell ill and spent four days in his hotel room in New Zealand. “I was just drinking water, hot showers, taking care of myself, hot tea, just trying to get through it and it sucked,” he recalled. But you didn’t know yet that like what, how bad this thing co...
Kanye West’s highly anticipated appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience has arrived, and it lives up to the hype. During the nearly three-hour-long conversation, the rapper-turned-presidential-hopeful revealed the exact location where he got the idea to run for office. “It was something that God put in my heart back in 2015. A few days before the MTV awards, it hit me in the shower,” West recalled. “When I first thought of it I just started laughing to myself. All this joy came over my body, just through my soul. I felt that energy; I felt that spirit.” “I believe that my calling is to be the leader of the free world,” he added before explaining why he thinks he’s the man for the job. “There couldn’t be a better time to put a visionary in the captain’s chair,” West declared. “I’m not h...

Because we’re all dead and this is hell, Donald Trump would like Joe Rogan to moderate a four-hour presidential debate. Rogan himself pitched the debate format on a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast with retired MMA fighter Tim Kennedy. Kennedy asked Rogan what his approach would be, and Rogan said, “First of all, I would want nobody else in the room. Just the three of us. And I would want to stream it live so no one can edit it.” So far, so expected, but Kennedy and Rogan act as if they’ve invented something remarkable. “Why can’t we have that?” Kennedy asked. “We should have that, it’s 2020,” Rogan replied. “We have the ability to have that. We’re not talking about 1979.” Nobody pointed out they had just invented television. Afterwards, Kennedy tweeted abo...
On the latest episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the polemical comedian complained about California’s coronavirus policies and threatened to move to Texas. The discussion was part of a broader conversation about the decision by LA County officials to extend stay-at-home orders through July. Other counties in California are cleared to reopen, though Rogan isn’t considering a same-state relocation. He said, “If California continues to be this restrictive, I don’t know if this is a good place to live. First of all, it’s extremely expensive — the taxes are ridiculous. If they really say we can’t do stand-up until 2022 or something, I might jet. I’m not kidding. I don’t need to be here.” Afterwards, Rogan called MADtv alum Bryan Callen, who quickly advanced a conspiracy theory that stay-at-ho...
