Later, they hopped on one of the most famous HBO drama series, Game of Thrones. However, the UFC color commentator expressed worries about the drama’s use of the woke culture when talking about the upcoming prequel to the series.

“I have been hearing very disturbing reports about the new Game of Thrones that they are going woke, I hear there’s a lot of wokeness. I mean, maybe I read about it online from people that are just click-baiting,” Rogan said. 

“But I am nervous… I just think any big production now, it’s like wokeness is permeated so deeply into the ethos of Hollywood. I can’t imagine they could do something like the 2011 version of Game of Thrones, which is like pretty wild,” Rogan concluded. 

Although Rogan has previously admitted that he has watched Games of Thrones, he didn’t enjoy the finale of the series. The 54-year-old even criticized the makers for the last episode.
