I was going to reply something about how he isn’t relevant because he has been dead for like a decade but I googled him to get the exact date correct first and I was shocked to find out he is still alive.

If you have friends in the business they’ll just keep putting you into shows. Rogan reinvented himself half a dozen times, taking whatever work he could get just to stay on TV.
Same story with Howie Mandel and Drew Carey. Producers look for a name/face people recognize and these dinosaurs keep getting more work.

rogan did fear factor, newsradio (is that the show?) and ufc. i dont think hes a good example of someone who took whatever work. he got lucky his podcast exploded and thats why hes still relevant

His filmography is a bit longer than that. The man has three different pro-drugs documentaries, for instance.
He kept getting shots and he kept taking them. The man was a magnet for Hollywood investment cash. He was already a mega-millionaire before the Spotify deal.

yeah he was thats why he was able to just do his podcast he didnt need to worry about money. fear factor was his big bucks
