Joe Rogan Career
Initially considering a career in kickboxing, Joe Rogan never knew that he would end up being a stand-up comedian. Inspired by the movie Live on the Sunset Strip, Rogan encouraged by his friends, began performing in small clubs. He also juggled other part-time jobs.
He slowly began getting roles in Television, with MTV being the first to offer him the ‘Half-Hour Comedy Show’. Rogan then landed an acting role in a Sitcom called Hardball (Fox Network).
This earned him a chance in the UFC as backstage and post-fight interviewer in the year 1997, even before current President Dana White took over.
After much dilly-dallying, he became a permanent colour commentator for the promotion from the year 2002.
He is still the most integral part of a major UFC event. After almost 15 years with Mike Goldberg (now works for Bellator), Rogan is currently flanked by Daniel Cormier and Jon Anik.
