‘Will do it at even midnight,’ Podcaster Joe Rogan 'ready' to interview Harris despite rejecting proposal

US popular podcaster Joe Rogan has said he is open to sitting down with Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris in his Texas studio, stressing, “I’ll do it at midnight if she’s up.”

Rogan Wednesday (Oct 30) also defended his earlier decision to reject Harris interview citing the demands that she put for the podcast to be recorded: Limiting the record time to 1 hour and record it outside his studio.

Criticising Harris for “being a diva,” Rogan said on his “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast: “She had an opportunity to come. You could look at this and you can say, ‘Oh, you’re being a diva,’ but she had an opportunity to come here when she was in Texas — and I literally gave them an open invitation.”

“I said anytime. I said if she’s done at 10, we’ll come back here at 10. I go, I’ll do it at 9 in the morning, I’ll do it at 10 p.m. I’ll do it at midnight if she’s up, if she wants to, you know, drink a Red Bull,” he added.

Rogan snubbed Harris’s proposal, laden with demands, after he interviewed Donald Trump for over three hours. The episode exploded on social media, amassing over 40 million views on YouTube alone.

US billionaire Elon Musk also supported Rogan’s stand, who wrote on X, “Good clarification. I would definitely watch that podcast.”

Trump also said during his appearance on Rogan’s show that he hopes Harris agrees to sit down for the podcast because it would be a “mess.”
