Right now, it seems like Joe Rogan is getting criticism from all sides. The comedian and host of the Joe Rogan Experience is amidst multiple controversies right now, with calls for canceling him getting louder.
The whole issue blew up after several prominent people blamed Rogan for spreading misinformation regarding vaccines. Singers like Neil Young and India Arie have left Spotify in protest as well. One person that has come out and asked Rogan to apologize is Howard Stern. According to him, he should just issue an apology. He said, “I’m wrong, and go get the vaccine before you die.”

He also asked the podcaster to say that he is a comedian and doesn’t know what he’s talking about. However, the criticism coming from Stern comes as a surprise as Rogan has always admired him. About two years back, he even credited Stern for paving the way for people like him.
In one of his podcast episodes, he said, “Look, one thing that we all owe Howard Stern, a huge debt of gratitude, is that he was sued by the FCC. He was sued. He lost a s**t load of money.”
“The media company, what was the company that had his show? Whatever the company was. They were fined hundreds of thousands of dollars for almost nothing. This was during Bush administration, they were going after him.”
