Joe Rogan asks to take Rachel Maddow’s job if Elon Musk buys MSNBC

The world’s most popular podcast host sat down with the world’s richest man this week to explore how they could reinvent MSNBC if it is sold from its parent company.

X owner Elon Musk joked this week that he might buy the liberal news network, and “The Joe Rogan Experience” host Joe Rogan stepped in and offered to replace MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow on her show while adopting her signature look . .

“If you buy MSNBC, I want Rachel Maddow’s job. I want to wear the same outfit and glasses and I want to tell the same lies,” Rogan wrote Friday in response to a post by Musk.

Musk trolled the outlet on Friday while sharing a post about reports that Comcast may be selling MSNBC.

Comcast officially announced on Wednesday that it would spin off several NBCUniversal cable networksincluding MSNBC, in a move that will dramatically shake up the legacy media landscape as the liberal cable outlet will no longer be affiliated with NBC News.

The billionaire captioned the post with his own statement, writing, “The most entertaining outcome, especially if ironic, is most likely,” toying with the idea of ​​buying the liberal business and converting it into a conservative news outlet.

Rogan commented on Musk’s new post with his offer to replace Maddow on the new MSNBC. The X owner replied, “Deal.”

Some conservatives found the idea intriguing and amusing.

Comedian Tim Young commented: “God please make this happen.”

Conservative writer Jim Hanson commented, “Can you imagine the freak out level on the left right now? They know Elon could do this on a whim.”

Author Carol Roth mentioned ABC’s liberal talk show “The View” in her commentary.

“I’d like to throw my hat in the ring for a panelist spot on ‘The Normal View,'” she wrote.

The MSNBC host, whose show “The Rachel Maddow Show” airs on the network on Mondays, recently signed a new contract to stay with the company for the foreseeable future. This comes as the network’s ratings have plummeted — including ratings for her show — especially since President-elect Donald Trump won earlier this month.

Maddow, who built her show around impassioned criticism of Trump for years and famously pushed back on since-debunked theories linking him to Russia, has lost nearly half of her viewers since Trump’s victory. “The Rachel Maddow Show” averaged 1.4 million viewers since the election, losing 41% of viewers. Things are even worse among the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults ages 25-54, where Maddow averaged 236,000 in 2024 but only 118,000 since the election, a 50% drop.

Musk considered buying the liberal news network in another post on Friday, saying: “MSNBC is being put up for sale. Should I buy it? I’d like to fire Rachel Maddow (just kidding) and then turn it into a channel , reporting top stories from X every day. Citizen reports on cable news!”

Musk toyed with the idea even more Sunday morning, posting a meme depicting him trying to fight the temptation to buy MSNBC.

MSNBC did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
