Who is Joe Rogan?
Joseph James Rogan is an American comedian, mixed martial arts commentator, and host of “The Joe Rogan Experience”. Born on 11 August 1967 in New York, New Jersey USA, Rogan became interested in martial arts when he was a teenager.
He said martial arts gave him ‘not just confidence but also perspective of myself and what I was capable of. It was the first thing that ever gave me hope that I wasn’t a loser’. At 14 he took up karate, and later taekwondo. At 19 years of age he won the US Open Taekwondo Championship tournament as a lightweight.
Rogan became interested in comedy after his mother and father took him to see a movie starring the late great comedian Richard Pryor “Live on the Sunset Strip”. He delivered his first stand up gig in in Boston, but continued to work several odd jobs to support himself – he taught martial arts, delivered newspapers, drove a limousine and did construction work.
He eventually moved to Los Angeles, and secured his first major acting role in the 1994 Fox sitcom “Hardball”.
It was around this time that he also began performing at the Comedy Store in Hollywood, where he performed for 13 years. From 1995-1999 he starred as Joe Garrelli in the NBC sitcom “NewsRadio”. Rogan admitted that playing the same character every week was tiring, and in 1997 he began working for the mixed martial arts promotion Ultimate Fighting Champion (UFC) as a backstage interviewer. Later on he became a color commentator for UFC, alongside Mike Goldberg until 2016.
