About Joe Rogan

Joe Rogan was the host of the hugely successful reality show, "Fear Factor," for six seasons on NBC. Prior to that, Rogan played Joe Garrelli, the resident electrician on the hit NBC comedy series "NewsRadio."

Since 2002, Rogan has provided color commentary for the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) on Pay Per View and Spike Television and also hosts the syndicated show, "UFC Wired." Rogan's passion for MMA began with martial arts practice at the age of 13. Within two years, the Boston native earned a black belt and soon became the Massachusetts full contact Tae Kwon Do champion four consecutive years. By the age of 19, Rogan won the U.S. Open Tae Kwon Do Championship and as lightweight champion went on to beat both the middle and heavyweight title-holders to obtain the Grand Championship.

Rogan's other true love is stand-up comedy. As a stand-up comedian for over 20 years, Joe Rogan has honed an inquisitive and intense comedic style. The Guardian UK called him, "One of the most complex and exciting stand-ups working in America today." He exudes a mad joy for life in all its insanity and revels in the art of stand-up comedy to explore the world with raw honesty. This has made him a national headliner, a favorite performer at the prestigious Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal and a guest on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" and "Jimmy Kimmel Live." Rogan released his debut comedy album, "I'm Gonna Be Dead Someday," on Warner Bros. Records. He released a follow-up CD, "Shiny Happy Jihad" on Comedy Central Records. Rogan's debut DVD "Joe Rogan Live" aired on Showtime. His second comedy special "Talking Monkeys in Space" premiered on Spike TV and will soon make its premiere on Comedy Central.

Rogan resides in Los Angeles and regularly performs stand-up locally and nationally.
