Longtime comedian and political commentator Bill Maher suggested that Joe Rogan is a modern-day version of legendary TV show and radio host Larry King.
King, who passed away in 2021 at the age of 87, conducted over 50,000 interviews over the span of his 50+ year career and never shied away from controversial guests or awkward conversations. During his iconic run, he spoke with some of the biggest names in entertainment and political history, including Frank Sinatra, Marlon Brando, The Beatles, Donald Trump, and Vladimir Putin. Maher, an icon of American comedy in his own right, was a regular guest on Larry King Live and recently suggested that Joe Rogan was the best example of a modern-day Larry King in a world that is becoming more “woke” by the minute.
