Podcast Star Joe Rogan Eyed for 60 Minutes
4 Jun
Summary
- Joe Rogan is reportedly being considered to host 60 Minutes.
- Anderson Cooper departed 60 Minutes on May 17, 2026.
- Rogan's podcast has a massive following across demographics.
Reports suggest that podcast host Joe Rogan is being considered by CBS News as a potential replacement for Anderson Cooper on the iconic program, 60 Minutes. Rogan, with his widely popular "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast boasting millions of subscribers, is seen by some as a strategic choice. An unnamed media executive reportedly believes Rogan could "re-engage" a significant portion of the country's viewers who feel overlooked by traditional media outlets.
This potential move follows Anderson Cooper's announced departure from 60 Minutes in February 2026. Cooper, who had been a fixture on the program for nearly twenty years, cited a desire to spend more time with his children as the reason for stepping away. His final broadcast aired on May 17, 2026.
Rogan, a multifaceted media personality, is also known for his work as a UFC commentator and comedian. His podcast, the most-streamed on Spotify since 2020, frequently features discussions on politics and culture, having hosted numerous prominent figures.
