Back in 2022, Joe Rogan said to podcaster Lex Fridman that he’s “not a Trump supporter in any way, shape or form” and has “had the opportunity to have him on my show more than once” but said no each time because he doesn’t want to help him.
Well, two years on, it looks like he’s changed his tune because Joe Rogan has now confirmed that Donald Trump will be appearing on The Joe Rogan Experience this Friday, October 25:

I mean, this is going to end up being one of the most watched podcast episodes in history, surely? You just know Trump is going to say something hilarious/insane at some point during the conversation, and who knows, maybe Rogan will actually press him on some issues and end up embarrassing him somehow. How funny would it be if he wheels out comedian Shane Gillis to do his Trump impression in front of the man himself?
You would think that Donald Trump has already secured the vote of most Joe Rogan listeners already, but it could actually turn out to be a make or break appearance depending on what happens on the show (especially after his “they’re eating the dogs” gaffe during the debate with Kamala Harris last month).
Then again, it really could go either way with Rogan. He’ll either turn up the pressure on Trump and ask him some difficult questions, or give him the softest of soft balls in history. Here’s hoping it’s the former.
There’s also a rumour out there that Kamala Harris is going to appear on Joe Rogan’s podcast ahead of the US Presidential election in a couple weeks. That would only be fair, right?
