Joe Rogan is addressing his lack of nomination 2026 Golden Globes.
This year, the Globes introduced the brand new category, Best Podcast of the Year, which Amy Poehler‘s podcast Good Hang ended up winning.
When the nominations were first announced, many were surprised that the 58-year-old UFC commentator’s podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, didn’t receive a nomination, despite being among the top 25 most popular podcasts that were eligible.
During the new episode of his podcast released on Thursday (January 29), Joe explained that he wasn’t nominated because he refused to pay the $500 submission fee.

Why did Amy Poehler win?’ I didn’t submit,” Joe explained. “They asked me to submit to be nominated for the Golden Globes and you had to pay $500. And the $500 is like for paperwork or whatever. I said, ‘No.’”
While he admitted he hasn’t seen/listened to Amy‘s podcast, he did say, “I’m sure it’s good. It won. I’m sure someone must love it. If it sucked, they would give it to someone else, right?”
He continued, “I just know that Amy Poehler won and a lot of people are upset. ‘She’s had a podcast for six months and she won. Great, you gave it to a famous person.’ Which, you know, in that world that’s what they do.”
“I just know that I didn’t submit,” he added. “I don’t want to be a part of that. I don’t care. You’re just a group of people that just decide, all of a sudden, that you’re going to give an award out? ‘I get a trophy’? F–k off!”
Back in 2022, Joe was offered a huge sum of money to leave Spotify and bring his podcast to a Right-Wing platform.
