Joe Rogan has always been a meathead idiot. Go watch NewsRadio. The writters for that show were like "Ok, you're a terrible actor, but the character is conspiracy theory nutjob moron, and hey, you fit the role."

Which was fine. The show was carried by Phil Hartman anyways. The show took an allstar cast.....and Joe Rogan.....and also Andy Dick.....and made them all supporting players to Phil Hartman.
