Joe Rogan is one of the pioneers of the podcast world. His deal with Spotify is considered one of the most money-making deals in the podcast world. Apart from being a podcaster, Rogan has also been a comedian and a commentator with the UFC. As a young upcoming comedian, Joe Rogan was a handsome guy who controlled power on the stage. C.K Louis, who is a friend and fellow comedian, has revealed how he was ‘threatened’ when a handsome Rogan came into the comedy scene. Louis was talking to Theo Von on his show ‘This Past weekend with Theo Von”. Theo Von’s YouTube channel has almost 1.3 Million subscribers.

Theo Von asked Louis about his initial days with Rogan in the Boston comedy scene. In reply, Louis went down memory lane and remembered a young Joe Rogan who was a couple of years younger than him. Louis fondly remembered how Rogan was a good-looking comedian with a good stage presence.

He participated in ‘Little League Baseball’ but developed an interest in martial arts in his teens. Rogan then moved to comedy and was featured in Disney shows like ‘NewsRadio’ and ‘Hardball’. Rogan became the voice of the UFC as well. He was also seen on the popular reality show ‘Fear Factor’ from 2001 to 2006.

Rogan, however, saw ultimate success when he started his podcast ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ in 2009. By 2015, the podcast had grown into the most popular podcast. Once Rogan signed the $200 million deal with Spotify, he became the king of podcasts.
