In a moment of sheer embarrassment for podcast giant Joe Rogan, a major Hollywood star has admitted they were completely unaware of his globally successful show, The Joe Rogan Experience.
The revelation came during a recent interview, leaving Rogan visibly stunned and sparking a wave of reactions across social media. Fans were quick to mock the situation, with many calling it a rare moment of humility for the outspoken host.
A Star-Studded Awkward Moment
The unnamed celebrity, known for their blockbuster roles and A-list status, dropped the bombshell when asked about their thoughts on podcasting. "I’ve actually never listened to Joe’s podcast," they confessed, adding, "I didn’t even realise it was such a big deal."
The comment reportedly left Rogan momentarily speechless, a rare occurrence for the usually unfiltered commentator.
Social Media Erupts
Online reactions were swift and merciless. One Twitter user quipped, "Even after Spotify paid $100 million, some people still haven’t got the memo." Others defended the star, arguing that not everyone is plugged into the podcasting world.
This isn’t the first time Rogan has faced public scrutiny. His show has been at the centre of numerous controversies, from controversial guest statements to debates over misinformation. Yet, this latest incident highlights an amusing disconnect between his massive influence and mainstream recognition.
What This Means for Podcasting
While Rogan’s podcast remains one of the most listened-to globally, this incident raises questions about the limits of niche fame. Even in the age of digital media, some stars remain blissfully unaware of cultural phenomena outside their immediate circles.
Will this dent Rogan’s ego? Unlikely. But it certainly makes for an entertaining footnote in the ever-evolving world of celebrity culture.
