Joe Rogan (born August 11 1967) is an American comedian, actor and longtime color commentator for the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Rogan is also known for his role as Joe Garrelli in NewsRadio and as host on the TV game/reality program Fear Factor.

Rogan is an avid practitioner of Yoga and holds a Brown Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Eddie Bravo and Jean Jacques Machado.

Rogan is currently hosting CBS's "Game Show in My Head."

Conflicts with other comedians

Joe Rogan is known for accusing other comedians of plagiarism, most prominently Carlos Mencia. He has also accused Dane Cook of stealing jokes from comedians like Bill Hicks, Louis C.K. and himself. During a conversation on the Opie and Anthony Show with Laugh Factory owner Jamie Masada following the Michael Richards incident, Rogan demanded to know why certain words are banned while copied material is tolerated. Clips of Louis C.K. and Dane Cook were then played to support Rogan's claim that Cook has stolen material.

He has also strongly criticised Denis Leary for plagiarising Bill Hicks.

On February 10, 2007 at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles, Rogan argued on-stage with Carlos Mencia, accusing him of plagiarizing other comedians' work. According to Rogan's account, he had just finished his act and introduced the next performer, Ari Shaffir, as a comedian who opens for "Carlos Men-steal-ia". Mencia took offense and walked on the stage. Rogan then accused him of stealing jokes and falsely portraying himself as a Mexican American. The Comedy Store later cancelled Rogan's shows. The entire incident was filmed as part of filming for Rogan's internet reality show, JoeShow. It was then made available to watch or download at numerous websites, including Rogan's.

According to Rogan, he is currently banned from the Comedy Store for violating the club's request that he not film his internet reality show there. According to Rogan, his agent and publicity firm (who also represents Mencia) demanded that he either apologize to Mencia or else be dropped from the agency. He chose to leave the agency.

Personal life

On May 21, 2008, Rogan announced on the Kevin and Bean radio show in Los Angeles that his girlfriend had a baby girl, and confirmed the news on his fan forum.

One of the recurring themes in his stand-up comedy and life is the use and support of cannabis, psilocybin mushrooms and DMT. Rogan supports the medical and recreational use of cannabis. He has an isolation tank in his basement, which many believe (although this has not been proven) fosters the body's natural production of DMT.
