Joe Rogan recently received some words from comedian and actress, Kathy Griffin. The 61-year-old Illinois-born had a take involving the JRE podcast host and the 45th President of the United States. In a conversation with a journalist and the co-host of the Pivot podcast – Kara Swisher – Griffin talked about various subjects, including Spotify’s number one podcast host.

Griffin, whom Rogan occasionally has talked about on his $200-million worth podcast, submitted she was one of the Americans who expected more from Elon Musk. She said, “The stuff he could do, by the way even as an immigrant.”

However, she offered a hurdle for it. “Once you start rolling with Kanye [West] and Joe Rogan. It’s like I don’t know if you can like even really talk to those guys,” Griffin said.

The Primetime Emmy Award winner revealed, “I haven’t seen Joe Rogan in years,” but offered, “If I ran into Joe… I’d probably have a conversation.”

That said, she raised one of her concerns about the avid martial arts follower, and said, “It’s kind of the Roganization of America that I now am more worried about than Trumpism.”

Griffin, who knew Rogan because of the former Fear Factor host’s time on the NewsRadio sitcom, didn’t offer more details about her remarks.

Griffin and Joe Rogan go a long way back

The 2-decade veteran UFC color commentator once criticized the New York Time author for her past actions. Even the 61-year-old comedian made comments about Joe Rogan and Elon Musk’s fans getting intense about their beloved personalities.

Talking about the 54-year-old martial arts analyst, Rogan, Griffin noted the world’s number one podcast host’s fanbase as ‘frightening’. She added, “When I make fun of his show, the Elon Musk army comes after me, the Rogan army comes after me, the Tim Pool army comes after me.”
