Right from being a four-time Massachusetts Taekwondo champion, working as a security guard for a Neil Young show, and now hosting one of the most viewed podcasts in the world, Joe Rogan has done it all. He is also UFC’s color commentator and one of the most known figures in MMA.
Apart from these experiences, you can also add the game show ‘Fear factor’ to the list for a great resume. The show ran from 2001 to 2006 and was initially hosted by Joe Rogan.

During The JRE #1788, Rogan hosted YouTube personality Mr. Beast and talked about some of the scariest things on ‘Fear Factor.’
“We did Fear Factor for six years, and then we came back and did it for a final season in 2011. And they were pushing it way too far. It scared the sh** out of me,” Rogan stated.

He continued, “The stunts were way bigger, and that was part of the appeal…and while they were filming it, I was like ‘Man, I am f******* nervous.’ These stunts are so much more chaotic… The potential for injury is so much greater.”
Talking about one of the scariest stunts ever, Rogan continued, “There was a helicopter with a bungee cord, and you were attached to the side of a cliff with a tree and you’re trying to unlock yourself, and when you do unlock yourself, the bungee cord pulls you, snaps you out over a canyon, and you’re attached to a f***** helicopter dangling over this canyon, I’m like ‘What if something breaks man?”
Despite being one of the most active and coolest personas in the current media generation, Rogan knows where to draw the line between thrill and danger.

After leaving Fear Factor, Rogan focused on his stand-up career, other comedy specials, and his UFC commentary role. The latter permits him to see fights in a controlled setting and follow his passion.
