When the Golden Globes debuted a new category for Best Podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience was notably left off the list of nominees. And on Thursday, Rogan explained why it happened that way.
Rogan finally revealed that he simply never submitted his show for consideration. “I didn’t submit,” he said. “They asked me to submit to be nominated for the Golden Globes, and you had to pay $500. And the $500 is for paperwork or whatever. I said, ‘No.’ Like, I don’t care. I already won. You can’t tell me I didn’t win. I’ve been number one for six years in a row.”
“All of a sudden, you’re going to have a contest in front of all these people wearing tuxedos, and you’re going to say, ‘Now I’m not number one?’ Like, f--- off. I don’t care that I’m number one, but I am in fact number one. So, if all of a sudden you have a contest to decide who’s really number one amongst us…like, that’s amongst you. You’re allowed to have your opinion. You like Amy Poehler better than me? That’s great.”
