Biggest waste of money, I don't get Joe Rogan love.
I mean, just odd. He's not funny by any means as a comedian. He doesn't know what he's commentating a lot of times. Nothing too special about his show hosting ability.
Not trying to kick a guy while he's down or anything, just in general I guess before all that, I don't judge or anything based on put together clips without contexts, but yeah
that is probably one of the biggest money wasted that I'm aware of.
The only worse contract that comes to mind is Chris Davis's contract, mlb player at 161 milllion for 7 years. I'm sure there are more though, so it's probably NOT the biggest waste of money in all due fairness to Joe.
The fact that he's just another dude, I think, is his biggest appeal. He's not exceptional in any way apart from having a great work ethic. It makes him more relatable, people can envision themselves having a conversation and a couple of beers with Joe Rogan.
If he was any smarter or funnier he'd actually become more niche. People don't see him as a comedian or intellectual, but as an "everyman" (even though, obviously, he has millions in the bank). To a degree I think he also understands this and doesn't try to act too clever or "elitist".
