Joe Rogan Claims Ukraine’s Zelensky Asked for Interview, The Daily Beast Reports

Popular podcaster and UFC commentator Joe Rogan made headlines this week after claiming that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had personally reached out to him for an interview on his podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience.”

In a recent episode of his podcast, Rogan revealed that he had been contacted by Zelensky’s team, who expressed interest in having the president appear on the show. Rogan, known for his candid and unfiltered conversations with guests, seemed intrigued by the idea of interviewing a world leader.

However, Rogan expressed some hesitancy about the potential interview, citing concerns about the political implications of hosting a sitting president on his show. “It’s a tricky situation because you don’t want to be seen as endorsing a particular political figure,” Rogan said during the episode.

Zelensky, a former comedian who was elected president of Ukraine in 2019, has gained international attention for his efforts to combat corruption and improve relations with Western countries. His administration has also been at the center of ongoing tensions with Russia, particularly in the wake of the 2014 annexation of Crimea.

While it remains to be seen whether Zelensky will ultimately appear on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the mere possibility of such an interview has sparked speculation and excitement among fans of the podcast. As Rogan continues to attract high-profile guests and tackle controversial topics on his show, the potential for a conversation with a world leader like Zelensky promises to be both intriguing and informative.
