Joe Rogan, who endorsed Donald Trump during last year’s presidential election, has spoken out against the temporary suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show.

Joe Rogan, who endorsed Donald Trump during last year’s presidential election, has spoken out against the (since-reversed) suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show, describing it as “f***ing crazy”.

Rogan, whose podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, is one of the most-listened to in America – if not the world – weighed in on Disney’s decision to put Kimmel’s show on indefinite hiatus over his controversial comments about slain right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk.
