Talking to Chael Sonnen, Andrew Schulz mentioned Joe Rogan’s comedy club. He said that he was mightily impressed with the fact that Joe Rogan could make anything big once he had his heart set on it. In response to the question, Chael Sonnen had a different take. Sonnen said, “Isn’t Netflix to thank though I mean didn’t Netflix single-handedly save comedy? I felt like it did, without being in the business just as an observer of the business there was nobody to aspire or see it as a way to be rich or to be fair until Netflix came.”
Since 2013, Netflix has produced comedy special originals. These shows have been very popular in the past. Joe Rogan, too, had featured in a similar show on Netflix in 2018. The show was called ‘Strange Times’.
