Joe Rogan is one of the most visible and controversial figures in America. Whether you love him or hate him, almost everyone has an opinion on Rogan and his massively successful podcast.

Who Is Joe Rogan?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Joseph James Rogan was born on August 11, 1967, in Newark, New Jersey. Coincidentally, he is the cousin of Gerard and Mikey Way from the band My Chemical Romance. His parents divorced when he was five due to his father\u2019s emotional instability. The family would move around to various places over the next several years, including to Florida, before finally setting in Massachusetts.

Rogan played Little League Baseball as a child but soon found himself passionately interested in martial arts. At age 15, he would begin taking taekwondo lessons. He would later win the U.S. Open Championship at age 19. He would compete competitively for two more years but retired at 21 due to injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Rogan\u2019s Early Comedy Career<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rogan would begin doing stand-up in the late 1980s, performing his first set in Boston on August 27, 1988. He had not ever considered doing comedy professionally, but his sparring partners told him he was funny and convinced him to try it. Rogan held various jobs during this time, including karate instructor and limousine driver. Eventually, he was spotted by talent manager Jeff Sussman, who convinced Rogan to let him represent him. By 1990, Rogan was living in New York and working as a full-time comedian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NewsRadio and Mainstream Success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the mid-1990s, Rogan would begin acting on the sitcom NewsRadio<\/em>. This would lead to him gaining national exposure for the first time. He grew particularly close with cast member Phil Hartman, who was the show\u2019s lead. Tragically, Hartman was killed by his wife in a domestic dispute in 1998. The loss of his friend would go on to affect Rogan immensely for some time, and he took a hiatus from stand-up as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
