Rogan, in his own uncensored fashion, said, “Just p**s people off. I mean there’s… you’re going to have more people upset with you.

The longtime UFC commentator has seen a lot of fame coming his way over the years. However, this year has been very rough for Rogan. Chiefly, the first quarter, where he faced a massive backlash from several big-name artists and people as well.

However, as far as Rogan’s comedy gig goes, the host of the ‘Joe Rogan: The Sacred Clown Tour’, spoke about comedians being under attack for jokes.

After Will Smith obnoxiously smacked Chris Rock at the Academy Awards, Rogan had shown concern that hitting comedians for making jokes would become a trend. Besides, there was another incident that happened with his friend, Dave Chappelle.
