In addition to his work on CNN since the early 2000s, broadcast journalist Anderson Cooper spent more than two decades on CBS’ News’ “60 Minutes” \u2014 an association that ended with his farewell broadcast on May 17. CBS News is looking for a replacement for Cooper on “60 Minutes,” and according to the Austin American-Statesman and RadarOnline, execs may be considering a prominent figure in the Manosphere: podcaster Joe Rogan.<\/p>\n

The American-Statesman’s Faith Bugenhagen explains, “RadarOnline, a celebrity and entertainment news site, reported that CBS considering Rogan, who boasts 20.9 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, ‘PowerfulJRE,’ and millions of viewers of his podcast, ‘The Joe Rogan Experience,’ would be ‘strategy,’ not ‘stunt casting.’ Rogan would bring ‘a core connection to over 50 percent of the country,’ an unnamed media executive told RadarOnline, saying the 58-year-old media mogul speaks to ‘viewers who feel ignored or mocked by legacy media’ \u2014 a viewership that, if reengaged, would solve the network’s ratings and credibility problems.”<\/p>\n

During the United States’ 2024 presidential election, Rogan’s endorsement of Trump underscored the gains he was making with the Manosphere, independents and swing voters. <\/p>\n

Although the 58-year-old Rogan leans to the right politically, he isn’t ultra-MAGA in his views. Rogan has often been described as libertarian, and he considers himself socially liberal \u2014 supporting same-sex marriage and the legalization of recreational drug use. Rogan, however, is critical of liberals and progressives on gun control.<\/p>\n

Rogan, as a broadcaster, is sometimes compared to others in the “hot talk” genre, including Howard Stern and Tom Leykis (who also appeal to a largely male audience). However, Stern and Leykis opposed Trump in the 2024 election, while Rogan supported him. <\/p>\n

Trump appeared on Rogan’s show during the 2024 race \u2014 an appearance that, Bugenhagen points out, is credited with helping increase Trump’s appeal to young Generation Z men and the Manosphere. The Austin, Texas-based Rogan, however, has recently criticized some of Trump’s policies, including mass deportations, the Iran war, and his campaign against late-night host Jimmy Kimmel.<\/p>\n

“Austin-based actor Matthew McConaughey, U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Texas native country star Miranda Lambert and state Rep. James Talarico (D-Austin) are among those who have been featured on the podcast,” Bugenhagen notes.<\/p>\n

Cooper, now 59, announced his retirement from “60 Minutes” in February. Post-CBS News, Cooper is still hosting the long-running “Anderson Cooper 360\u00b0” on CNN.<\/p>\n
