Joe Rogan has built an empire that many people could only dream of. From being a UFC commentator to becoming the host of arguably the world’s biggest and most popular podcast, ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’. However, some believe that popular American television personality Tucker Carlson, who recently exited from FOX News, may have a bigger influence than Joe Rogan.
Tucker Carlson is one of television’s biggest personalities who was famous for his show ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ on FOX News. However, both parties have come to an agreement and Carlson departed the new network after 7 years of working in the company. But Sky News Australia’s Rita Panahi believes that the former FOX employee could create something bigger than Joe Rogan’s million-dollar podcasting empire.
