Joe Rogan Mocks Joy Behar: Joe Rogan, the popular podcast host, recently sparked a social media frenzy after mocking The View co-host Joy Behar for claiming he believes in dragons. The incident has captured widespread attention, highlighting the ongoing clash between mainstream media and independent influencers.
Joy Behar’s Claim: “Joe Rogan Believes in Dragons”
During a discussion on The View about a poll showing young Americans increasingly turning to right-leaning influencers for news, Joy Behar took aim at Joe Rogan.
“I think that’s why people like our show, because they know we are checked by ABC News… We went from Walter Cronkite, basically, to this guy Joe Rogan, who believes in dragons. I checked it,” said Behar.
She added, “He also thinks that dragons—like dinosaur-type animals—roamed the Earth when people did. This is the kind of really bad information that’s going out there. But it’s possible Donald Trump did roam the Earth when dinosaurs were here.”
The remarks drew laughter from the audience but soon became a viral moment on social media.
Rogan’s Response: “Dragon Believer”
Joe Rogan wasted no time responding to Behar’s comments. In a move dripping with sarcasm, he updated his X (formerly Twitter) bio to read: “Dragon Believer.”
Rogan also quote-posted the viral clip of Behar’s comments, adding, “That’s my new official X description.”

Joe Rogan’s Dragon Discussion
The controversy didn’t stop at a bio update. Rogan shared a segment from his podcast featuring adventurer Forrest Galante, where the two discussed the possibility of dragons being real creatures.
In the clip, Rogan mused:
“It’s so possible that something that flew like a pterodactyl… maybe they had feathers, maybe a gigantic predatory bird… maybe some of those things looked like dragons.”
Rogan further shared several links and messages on his X timeline, presenting arguments and theories about dragons, fueling the ongoing online debate.
Legal Troubles on The View Set
The controversy around Rogan isn’t the only storm brewing at The View. Earlier this week, co-host Sunny Hostin was compelled to read a legal disclaimer after alleging that former Attorney General nominee Matt Gaetz had been involved in sex trafficking and had a relationship with a 17-year-old.
Why This Matters
This episode underscores the cultural divide between mainstream media and independent influencers like Rogan, who enjoy vast followings for their unfiltered commentary. Behar’s remarks and Rogan’s responses highlight the tension between these two spheres and the growing impact of alternative media in shaping public opinion.
