According to Rogan, he has indulged himself in distinct forms of media. However, he enjoys his work at UFC because he is a fight fan through and through and discussing or calling fights is a “freeing, “experience for him. But the other ones? He considers them to be jobs and not fascinating to him. Moreover, despite being such a versatile personality, he has an itch to do more things. But only if he had more time on his hands.

During the episode with Norton, another standup comedian, he stated, “I would love to do everything. If I had multiple lives that I could live simultaneously I would have a ton of different careers. Because I am fascinated by a lot of different things. But you don’t have that much time in the world.”

Rogan credits his success and personality development to the sport of Mixed Martial Arts. He always dealt with self-doubts but when he was encountered with sports, he was captivated and found himself obsessed with it.

I’m just not interested in those other things,” started Rogan. “I was also not around people that were following their passions.”
