Are Joe Rogan and Seth Rogen related? Exploring rumors about connection between 'JRE' podcaster and comedian

AUSTIN, TEXAS: 'JRE' host Joe Rogan, one of the Internet's most popular podcasters, has a last name that bears a striking similarity to that of well-known comedian Seth Rogen, which has often led to speculation that the two are related. But is this true?

For context, Rogan's involvement in a variety of activities has allowed him to reach a wider audience outside of the mixed martial arts community and made him a veritable celebrity in his own right.

Joe Rogan is not related to Seth Rogen

There may be some similarities between Joe Rogan and Seth Rogen. They both embraced early martial arts training and now regale audiences with their words - Rogan with his podcast and Rogen with his stand-up routines.

However, the duo are not related to each other. Back in a tweet from 2013, Seth Rogen questioned Rogan about his name on X (previously known as Twitter).

The comedian and actor wrote, "Hey @joerogan. Do people always spell your name RogEn? Or am I the only one getting f**ked here?"

Who is Joe Rogan’s brother?

The comedian and UFC color commentator have nothing in common other than similar-sounding surnames. But Rogan does have a relative who is rather well-known in his industry - author and singer Gerard Way.

The former 'Fear Factor' host acknowledged he is connected to Gerard during small talk with Kevin Smith on 'The Joe Rogan Experience' podcast.

Smith questioned Rogan about his connection with the well-known musician Gerard Way and whether Rosie was the name of his grandmother. In response, the UFC color commentator discussed his relationship with Way. Smith revealed that Way said the same thing to him: “I don’t have 100 % confirmation on this, but I’m pretty sure Joe Rogan is my cousin. My aunt Josie was his grandmother.”
