That's the only thing I know him from. That, and quotes about bootstraps photoshopped over a sepia photo of him smirking with his arms crossed. Am I confusing him with the guy from Dirty Jobs?

Rogan is the long-time colour commentator for UFC pay per views. His schtick now is that he's really into conspiracy theories and individualist stuff, which sets him up as kind of an alt-right "figure," but to his credit he gets lots of people on his podcast who disagree with his bad opinions, and actually seems to make an honest effort to engage the ideas and improve in his dopey, stoned, jock-like way instead of shouting them down for the duration. E.g. he got in poo poo from twitter for saying a bunch of transphobic stuff, and then he had a trans man come on his show and explain trans issues to him for three hours, and he actually in the time since then has made a visible effort to be less lovely about that. Now he still says transphobic poo poo, but less often, and when he catches himself he apologizes for it and admits that he's being lovely and explains why it was lovely. (at least, when I last listened to his show, which was a really long time ago now that I think about it). Financially he's doing pretty well, but in terms of "doing ok" it's pretty much "he could be doing a lot worse and I'll give him one bonus point for seeming to put in the effort to be less lovely when he gets called out on it." One funny event in this whole drama was his short-lived SciFi series, Joe Rogan Questions Anything, in which he went out to investigate bigfoot and chemtrails and morgellons and stuff. You can actually see the moments when he's standing out in the woods with the people who promote these theories and he's realizing "oh my god the theories I've been believing are entirely based on the testimony of idiots."

I kind of like Joe Rogan for the exact reason above: if you watch a bunch of his recent stuff, you can actually see him learning to think a bit more critically, and he generally shuts up when someone who knows more than him is telling him stuff he doesn’t know. He’s never been funny on stage though.

sexpig by night posted:I mean yea, he's still Joe Rogan, dude was always insane. Joe Rogan has always loved three things. Fighting, doing drugs, and asking if we REALLY know the moon landing happened. He hasn't so much aged badly as found a large platform to age normally on. That and giving a platform to alt right internet personalities. Stefan Molyneaux, Peterson, Milo, Sargon, etc.

I remember him on Penn Jillette's podcast discussing the moon landings with Phil Plait, and every time Plait explained why one of Rogan's conspiracy theories was wrong, Rogan would just go "well... nuh-UH" and move on to the next one.

I think there’s specifically one where someone explains the moon landings to him, and by the end he stops thinking they’re faked.

quote:Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin R. Steele asked that Mr. Cosby’s $1 million bail be revoked, suggesting he had been convicted of a serious crime, owned a plane and could flee, prompting an angry outburst from Mr. Cosby, who shouted, “He doesn’t have a plane, you rear end in a top hat.” So much for the quiet old man act.

In retrospect Bill Cosby has been pretty vile with his embrace of being "one of the good ones" since at least the 90's. Before the 90's, it's a mystery since I barely remember the Cosby Show as is. On a side note, I did always find it odd that in all of his TV shows, they bared his name, but he never actually played someone named "Cosby"

When Melvin Van Peebles was trying to make what's thought of as the first Blaxploitation film, "Sweet Sweetback's Badassss Song", he got half his funding by going through Cosby who was a personal friend, because all the uptight honkey hollywood types trusted him as one of the good ones.

Maybe back then they wanted to keep the characters more separate from the actual people? TV was still kinda new. I know they had Mary Tyler Moore not be a divorcee in part because they were afraid they'd think she was the same character from The Dick Van Dyke show and that she'd divorced Rob Petrie. So maybe audiences weren't dumb, but the producers certainly thought they were.

This goes even further back; the original 'Rat pack' was self-advancing group that got many gigs simply because they were on the "Rat pack". Of course Sinatra and Dean Martin had several side gigs and they were otherwise talented. ...And I still have to stress the fact that the original "Police Squad" TV-series got poo poo canned for being too intellectually demanding according to the TV producers.

I never really knew much about Joe Rogan, like I knew who he was but I never heard him talk or knew anything about his opinions or anything, until one of my friends suggested I listen to his podcast. I really enjoy listening to it because he doesn't seem to be so much interested in getting people to agree with what he thinks as he is in trying to figure out why people think the way they do. It comes across a lot less "let's argue our ideas against each other" and more "here's what I think, let me know why you think I'm wrong" and it's a really refreshing dynamic.

If anybody wanted to air any of Cosby's show now, they should be able to put 'Eminence Front' in lieu of the original theme as a warning. Also, does anybody really play Cosby reruns anymore? The whole show went over nearly thirty years ago, it's hard to tell since I'm not even sure if reruns are a thing again now.

winterwerefox posted:No Andy Griffith Show? Which was a spinoff of The Danny Thomas Show. Which was renamed from Make Room For Daddy (and better known as that now). If being Andy Taylor wasn't enough, there was another Andy Griffith Show, conveniently named The New Andy Griffith Show. This time he was Andy Sawyer. And because Griffith's previous attempt at a show, Headmaster, failed, Andy Sawyer was virtually identical to Andy Taylor. To the point a handful of old characters from Andy Griffith Show and Mayberry RFD appeared, making for an odd universe where Goober knew Andy Taylor and Andy Sawyer, but the Andys weren't the same person. RFD was still airing at the time.
