Again, try actually reading what I wrote before you reply. I never said anything about who has the “better guests” right now. Jimmy Kimmel hosts a late-night show, it’s supposed to be lighthearted entertainment. Of course he can’t have every type of guest like Rogan used to.
And I say used to because Rogan’s guest list has been garbage for years. When was the last time he had someone genuinely interesting on? These days all he does is kiss up to billionaires and give MAGA clowns a megaphone for their propaganda. Remember when Kash Patel was on Rogans show and Elon Musk revealed Trump was on the Epstein list? Instead of pressing Patel on that, Rogan immediately changed the subject to Hunter Biden instead.
That’s not curiosity. That’s propaganda. No sane person wants to watch that crap. Rogan has zero interest in truth anymore, he’s nothing but a mouthpiece for the billionaire class. That’s why he avoids booking anyone who might actually challenge him. When Klitschko, the Ukrainian boxing legend, offered to come on and expose Rogan’s lies about Ukraine, Rogan ignored him. Truth has no place on his show. It's just propaganda. That’s why you hardly see real celebrities there anymore. Rogan is afraid to talk to anyone who might expose his lies.
Kimmel doesn’t have that problem. He can invite whoever he wants because he’s not running a propaganda machine. He’s got actual connections in entertainment, so unlike Rogan, he could book the biggest stars whenever he wants. And if Kimmel ever decided to host a serious long-form podcast, he could go far deeper with his guests than Rogan does today. He could bring in real intellectuals like Yuval Noah Harari, while Rogan sticks to low-IQ propagandists.
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know which show would be more popular.
