Top-ranked podcaster Joe Rogan praised former President Donald Trump for his “comedic instincts” as the two of them discussed his first White House bid during their historic interview on Friday.
Rogan noted that Trump is just naturally funny and that he really picked up on that, recalling one of the then-future president’s debates with Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016.
That is significant praise, given that Rogan — in addition to being a podcaster and UFC commentator has been a stand-up comedian for decades. He also starred on the 90s hit sitcom “NewsRadio.”
In particular, Rogan was referencing Trump’s now infamous line he snuck in during a particularly fiery debate segment, where Clinton said, “It’s just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country.”
Trump immediately fired back: “Because you’d be in jail.”
Rogan also praised Trump’s ability to be funny working crowds with his impressions of others including President Joe Biden. “It’s funny, its standup,” said Rogan.

There were also many serious moments during the interview, such as when Trump described being president as a “very dangerous business” in reference to a pair of close calls with would-be assassins.
