Joe Rogan hosts one of the most popular and successful podcasts in the world and fans have often wondered who would be his "dream guest" to interview on his show.
The UFC commentator started his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, in 2009 and has since gone on to produce over 2,000 episodes, with guests ranging from MMA fighters, comedians and writers to actors, scientists and politicians.
In 2020, the podcast was purchased by Spotify in a licensing deal worth an estimated $200 million.
Some of Rogan's most famous guests include Elon Musk, Mike Tyson and Bernie Sanders.

Yet when asked on one episode by another guest, Barstool Sports creator Dave Portnoy, whether he had a dream guest for his show, the 57-year-old jiu jitsu blackbelt emphatically replied: "No."
"I like talking to people," the comedian and commentator said. "I don't care who they are.
"I like talking to my friends. I had a lady in recently who was a bee keeper. I had a guy the other day, he has a giant piece of land in Alaska where they've found woolly mammoth bones.
"I like that. That's what I like. I like talking to fighters, I like talking to you [Portnoy], I like talking to whoever.
"I like talking to people. It's fun. I like seeing how different people see this world. It enhances my perspective."

But while Rogan claims not to have an ideal podcast guest, there is one public figure his audience request to see on the show more than any other. And in a recent post on X, the podcast's official account teased the possibility of it happening soon.
There has long been a clamour among some JRE listeners to see former US president and current presidential candidate Donald Trump appear on the show.
Rogan has claimed previously that he has turned down the chance to have Trump as a guests multiple times. But in a recent appearance on the Nelk Boys YouTube channel, the 45th president claimed he is due to be a guest on Rogan's podcast.
In a post which has accrued 9.9 million views, the account @joeroganhq asked its 459,000 followers: "Do you want to see @realDonaldTrump on the podcast?"
