Howard Stern has long been referred to as “The King of All Media”. In 2023, one could argue the moniker would also apply to Joe Rogan, and the podcast host took a shot at Stern on his podcast episode Saturday.
While being joined by comedians Shane Gillis and Matt McCusker, the topic eventual turned to Stern, who Rogan took aim at for his current conduct.
“Look — what he did — people to this day make fun of Howard Stern ’cause of who he is now and the way he behaves now. That guy’s the man,” said Rogan. “He was the f—ing pioneer — when he was the king of all media and he was telling everybody to suck his dick.
“And the FCC was going after him. The government was fining him. They were fining his businesses f—ing millions of dollars. And he was out there doing wild shit on the radio. And now he’s woke. It’s crazy.”
Rogan is not the first commentator to label Stern as “woke”. The longtime radio host has seen several others believe his schtick has changed over the years.
Stern was an outspoken critic of former President Donald Trump, and admitted in November that MSNBC was his preferred choice for cable news. The SiriusXM host has also jokingly considered his own run for President, adding that actor Bradley Cooper would serve as his running mate.
