"After initially declining the hosting role of the famous American television show Fear Factor in 2001, Joe Rogan eventually accepted the lucrative deal and hosted the show until 2006 before returning for another season in 2011.

The UFC commentator was reportedly paid $100,000 per episode during the initial run. This means that after hosting over 150 episodes of the show, Rogan walked away with at least $15 million in total earnings."

call to action, add his history to his name

it isnt responsible in this two hour long news cycle with younger generations and everything meme'd that people legit think he was a garage podcaster guy with his buddies

i have heard younger political strategists legit say to Chris Hedges "i think the left needs a joe rogan. ya know, just the local everyman guy who got popular" fully omitting cos likely they dont even know, like lol no, that is Fear Factor Joe Rogan that is Joe Rogan from Fear Factor that wasn't no one and this organically happened
