Joe Rogan

Joe Rogan (born August 11 1967) is an American stand-up comedian, but is better known for his work in film and television, notably in Fear Factor and NewsRadio, and as one of the hosts of The Man Show. He also has a DVD out, Live from the Belly of the Beast, as well as a CD, called I'm Gonna Be Dead Someday. More recently, Rogan has become affliated with the UFC as a host and commentator.

Early career

Born in Newark, New Jersey, he was raised in Revere, Massachusetts, and achieved a degree of fame as a four-time state Taekwondo champion before pursuing a career in show business. Rogan earned a black belt at 15 after just two years of training. In 1987, at age 20, he won the American Open Tae Kwon Do Championship, and later as a lightweight champion went on to beat the middleweight and heavyweight title-holders to obtain the Grand Championship.

Television career

In 1995, Rogan was cast as the man without a penis on the sitcom Newsradio. He stayed on the show until it was cancelled in 1999.

Since 2001, he has been the host of NBC's Fear Factor, a reality show that pits six contestants (usually three males and three females) against each other in daredevil stunts for a chance to win a prize of $50,000.

As of November 2002, he has also been involved with Ultimate Fighting Championship as a color commentator, where he has been a post fight interviewer since 1997.

Rogan has been training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for many years and was recently awarded his brown belt by Eddie Bravo.

Rogan got into a scuffle with a contestant on Fear Factor in an episode aired June 6th 2006 on NBC. In what appeared to be a self-defense situation, Rogan placed him in a Muay Thai-style headlock, which is usually combined with upward kneeing to the face — however Joe did not follow-through with this.
