Joe Rogan tipped for shock job nobody expected after having Donald Trump on his podcast
Joe Rogan has been tipped for a shock job after featuring the incoming US President Donald Trump on his podcast.
Trump appeared on the 'Joe Rogan Experience' podcast in October, weeks before the 2024 US Presidential election.
They covered a range of topics which included his time at the White House during his first four years as President between 2016 and 2020.
The 78-year-old and his Republican Party went on to win the election, and his inauguration as the 47th President of the United States is taking place on January 20.

Trump was endorsed by Rogan on the eve of the election in November, explaining that he had been convinced by Elon Musk, who is set to co-lead a proposed presidential advisory commission under the Trump administration but is not an elected official.
Before the 2020 election, which was won by Joe Biden and the Democratic Party, Rogan endorsed Democratic nominee Bernie Sanders, who cancelled his campaign in April 2020 after several losses to the eventual winning candidate.
Now, Ben Smith, the editor-in-chief of 2022-founded news website Semafor, has revealed that he believes Rogan's high-profile could lead to him accepting a surprise role in the future.
Speaking to The Times, he explained: "American media and American politics obsessively fight the last war.
"However relevant and powerful Rogan is in four years [the date of the next US Presidential election], his influence will be overblown.
"Still, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up hosting one of the presidential debates next time."
Rogan was one of a number of high-profile figures in America to be invited to Trump's inauguration on January 20.
Among the other sport-related names to be present at the inauguration include UFC CEO and president Dana White, Conor McGregor, Logan and Jake Paul, as well as Canadian former hockey champion Wayne Gretzky.
