Joe Rogan’s influence on young men and his subsequent endorsement of Donald Trump no doubt helped elect the 78-year-old in November, but can the left recreate its own version?
The answer, according to The New Abnormal’s Andy Levy, is–fat chance.
“I think there’s a very good chance Joe Rogan is basically a unicorn and it was catching lightning in a bottle,” Levy reflected. “It was very much the way Howard Stern did what he did back in the day and just became like an absolute empire and stuff like that is not easily replicated. You can say, ‘Yeah, the left needs a Joe Rogan of its own’ in the sense that they need someone that huge. But the odds of that happening, I don’t think you can try to do that. I think regardless of what you think about Rogan, I think his success is very organic.”
