Joe Rogan rumoured to join CBS after Anderson Cooper loss

These might be two names you’d never think would be in the same sentence.

Conservative podcaster Joe Rogan is rumoured to be moving to CBS News.

The broadcaster is struggling with ratings on its flagship show 60 Minutes, after veteran journalist Anderson Cooper left last year.

Whilst Rogan and Cooper at ideologically opposite, it’s hoped that the immensely popular podcaster, who hosts the Joe Rogan Experience with a reported 11 million listeners a day, will attract some much-needed viewers.

Technically, Rogan is already on screens, as he presents his daily show in video format on social media.

This is not happening. Joe Rogan will not sell himself out to the fake news media. CBS News wants another puppet.

Conservative? No, more like small “L” libertarian.

“Whilst Rogan and Cooper at ideologically opposite,“

________

I would not say that, except for the fact that Rogan is not a pickle smoocher like Cooper is.

It would certainly be a loss of his gold mine. I dont think Spotify would want to lose their exclusivity with him.

This sounds ridiculous

Rogan’s podcast audience compared to CBS viewership is something crazy like 100X larger

This is BS rumor for sure.
Why would Rogan ever give the JRE?
An occasional guest spot… maybe.

Ha! Rogan has long since sold himself, but this does show just how deeply in the old crapper “The Tiffany Network” has fallen and burrowed into the ooze.

1. Rogan doesn’t the money ...

2. Rogan doesn’t need the platform ...

3. Rogan doesn’t need a thousand suits at CBS telling him what he can and cannot say

bottom line: this article is 100% bullshit ... period ...

Why would Rogan want to put himself under CBS?

I don’t buy it for a second.

That doesn’t necessairly mean he is quitting his own show.

Anyone who calls Rogan a conservative doesn’t know the meaning of the word.

Hey CBS, if you want to reinstate the fear people felt when 60 Minutes showed up, then hire Nick Shirley and James O’Keefe. Of course you would have to allow them full editorial control.

There is a picture on the Wikipedia article on Joe Rogan standing with President Trump dated April 2026. This was presumably taken after Trump denounced Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Alex Jones, and Candace Owens. Rogan leans libertarian but is more of a populist. He is Gen. X, as are all but one (Candace Owens) are from that generation.

“Conservative podcaster Joe Rogan“

Rogan is not a Conservative.

Why go from a popular new-media platform to a dying old-media platform?

I suspect not many young people watch CBS News and it won’t change just because they bring him over.
