Theo Von recently made waves by hosting former President Donald Trump on his podcast, This Past Weekend. Just days after sitting down with Bernie Sanders, Theo brought Trump onto the show, creating a fascinating contrast between the two episodes. Rather than diving deep into politics, Theo’s conversation with Trump was a mix of personal stories, UFC talk, and light political commentary, offering a side of Trump that we don’t often see.
For years, fans have speculated about the possibility of Joe Rogan interviewing Trump on The Joe Rogan Experience. Rogan, however, has been hesitant, expressing doubts about whether Trump would present his true self on the show or merely use it as a platform for his own agenda. Yet, Theo’s relaxed and candid interview with Trump might just change the dynamics. This episode, though shorter than most, demonstrated that a meaningful and genuine conversation with Trump is possible—even in the context of a comedy podcast.
The question now is whether Rogan will reconsider his stance. If he does, it could lead to one of the most talked-about podcast episodes ever. But if Rogan sticks to his guns, the debate will undoubtedly continue: Should the greatest podcaster of all time interview one of the most polarizing figures in modern history, or is it better left undone? Either way, Theo’s interview with Trump is a significant moment, showcasing the evolving role of comedians like Theo and Rogan in today’s political and cultural landscape.
