Joe Rogan returned to the stand-up stage this past week. The longtime UFC commentator has been in the middle of a controversy storm recently.

The host of the Joe Rogan Experience has taken a lot of criticism from people across the world. He is being accused of spreading misinformation on his show. It started with a group of over 250 doctors, scientists, and researchers signing a petition for Spotify to regulate it. Neil Young, singer, and songwriter followed it up. He removed all his music from the audio streaming platform stating that they can either have him or Rogan.

Since then, he has received a lot of backlash, and recently, in his stand-up show, he addressed all of it. During a Q&A session after the show, one fan asked him what made him most nervous. He said, “Being a bad person. For real. I try to do my best.”

There were calls from many people for him to not apologize for whatever had happened. However, he pushed back them and in one of the recent episodes of his podcast said, “You should apologize if you regret something. I do think you have to be careful not to apologize for nonsense.” 

Rogan has also found support during these trying times. A lot of big names in the world are backing the podcast host.

Amidst all the controversy surrounding Rogan, he has found criticism and support from all corners. One of his surprise supporters during these times is Donald Trump. The former U.S. President released a statement that was posted by Spokeswoman Liz Harrington on Twitter.

The statement read, “Joe Rogan is an interesting and popular guy, but he’s got to stop apologizing to the Fake News and Radical Left maniacs and lunatics.”

How many ways can you say you’re sorry? Joe, just go about what you do so well and don’t let them make you look weak and frightened. That’s not you and it never will be!”
