Joe Rogan has a vast audience because of his famed The Joe Rogan Experience podcast. Since the veteran UFC commentator has kept an unfiltered form for his podcast, it has led him into a few controversies. The latest one came because of his former guest and friend, Alex Jones.

The renowned podcast host has had conversations with Jones on his show. The two seem to have a cordial relationship. Rogan, being a stand-up artist, has complimented Jones for his humor. However, this has led him into a feud with Primetime Emmy Award winner – Bradley Whitford.

The 62-year-old on his Twitter handle made comments on a clip of Rogan. Whitford wrote, “Hey, smug showbiz chemically enhanced “tough guy” @joerogan. You’re a morally bankrupt piece of sh*t. Heckling bereaved parents is not entertainment.”

The clip where the millionaire actor posted his remarks shows Rogan calling Alex Jones ‘entertaining’.

Rogan, in the clip, said, “Alex Jones is funnier than Andy Kaufman has ever been. Alex Jones is f***ing hilarious, often.”

However, on other occasions, Rogan has clarified that Jones says ‘some silly sh**’. Besides, Rogan made his stance clear about the latest Sandy Hook situation. “I just don’t support a lot of the sh*t that he said, like the Sandy Hook stuff,” said Rogan.
