    Regardless of his success in television, Joe Rogan's true love is stand-up comedy. But stand-up was never in Joe's original career plan, nor was television or acting of any kind. So how did this accidental performer wind up with a career in stand-up, a role on NewsRadio, host of Fear Factor and The Man Show? The answer is simple: Tae Kwan Do.

    Joe began practicing martial arts at the age of 13. Within two years, the Boston native earned a black belt and soon became the Massachusetts full contact Tae Kwon Do champion four consecutive years. By the age of 19, Rogan won the US Open Tae Kwon Do Championship, and in true Joe Rogan fashion, the lightweight champion went on to beat both the middle and heavyweight title-holders to obtain the Grand Championship. Joe credits Tae Kwon Do for his discipline and focus, two characteristics that have aided him in his accomplishments.

    After much prodding from his friends, Joe tried his hand as a stand-up at an open mic night and was hooked immediately. With 15 years of stand-up comedy under his belt, Joe's honest, inquisitive comedic style has made him a national headliner, a favorite performer at the prestigious U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen and at Just For Laughs in Montreal and he is a regular guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with Conan O'Brien and Jimmy Kimmel Live. In 2000, Joe released his groundbreaking debut comedy album, I'm Gonna Be Dead Someday, on Warner Bros. Records. He recently recorded a follow-up CD for a 2007 release.
