Guy Fieri Makes His Opinion on Joe Rogan Extremely Clear
Celebrity chef and television star Guy Fieri teamed up with Joe Rogan for a recent podcast episode. Rogan's show The Joe Rogan Experience has featured thousands of guests over the years. During that time, he's developed an immense following, but has also earned his share of criticism for his personal comments and the people he chooses to platform. Fieri was featured on the program last Friday. You can watch the full episode here, but be warned, it's nearly two-and-a-half hours long. On Saturday, Fieri promoted his appearance and gave Rogan a shoutout on X/Twitter. "It was an honor and a pleasure to be a guest on JRE 2.5 hrs just flew by!! Thanks for havin' me @joerogan," Fieri wrote. Fieri, 57, began his career as a chef and restauranteur in the 1990s. His rise to fame was expedited by his victory in season two of The Next Food Network Star in 2006. Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Fieri's most popular show, debuted in 2007 and remains a Food Network mainstay to this day. The Emmy Award-winning personality has also hosted Guy's Big Bite, Guy's Grocery Games, Guy's Family Road Trip and Guy Off The Hook, in addition to appearing on a number of other food network programs. While Fieri's entire life and career has been food-oriented, he has taken a renewed focus on his health in recent years. In May 2024, Fieri revealed in an interview with Men's Health that he shed 30 pounds through a combination of rucking and various HIIT workouts. "Unfortunately, in the [Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives] world, people like to go, 'Oh, you're the chef that eats the deep-fried pizza burgers with the ice cream toppings and all those huge, fried everythings.' My response is, 'I don't want to say that you don't know what you're talking about. But you don't know what you're talking about,'" Fieri said.
