Yesterday, Joe Rogan took to his social media pages to share that his shows with Dave Chappelle scheduled for Nashville and New Orleans this weekend were being postponed due to contracting COVID-19.
After a comedy performance over the weekend, Rogan says he felt “weary” later getting a fever and chills. He would get tested for COVID-19, and the results came back positive. Joe did reveal to fans that he is feeling much better, but the show for this Friday still had to be rescheduled for October 24th. No word yet on when the New Orleans show will be rescheduled.
Rogan did not mention if he had been vaccinated but did say in the Instagram post, “A wonderful, heartfelt thank you to modern medicine for pulling me out of this so quickly and easily.”
The Spotify podcast host has made headlines during the pandemic for his personal doubts about vaccines. In April, Rogan returned comments he made on his show when he said young, healthy people could skip the vaccine.
This news did stop comedians from taking their humorous but respectful shots at Joe Rogan, highlighted by a friend and fellow comedian Adam Hunter who took to social media to share his thoughts on the situation:
We Own The Laughs would like to send our thoughts and prayers to Joe Rogan and his family as we wish him a speedy recovery.
