Joe Rogan admits he refused to pay Golden Globes nomination fee... after fury over his shock snub

Joe Rogan has confessed he refused to pay the entry fee to have his podcast submitted for a Golden Globes nomination this year.

This year, the awards show offered a best podcast prize for the first time ever, but notably snubbed viewership juggernauts like Rogan, Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly.

Rather, the nominees were a Hollywood-safe list of politically correct figures like Dax Shepard, Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Alex Cooper and eventual winner Amy Poehler.

There was an explosion of controversy over the fact 'anti-woke' figures like Rogan were excluded - but Rogan himself has now added another wrinkle to the story. 

'So here's the thing. A lot of people say: "Why wasn't Joe Rogan nominated for the Golden Globes? Why did Amy Poehler win?" I didn't submit,' he said while interviewing Bert Kreischer on Thursday's episode of The Joe Rogan Experience. 

'So they asked me to submit to be nominated for the Golden Globes, and you had to pay $500, and the $500 was like for paperwork or whatever. I said no,' he added. 

'I don't care. I already won. You can't tell me I didn't win. I've been number one for six years in a row. All of a sudden you're gonna have a contest in front of all these people wearing tuxedoes and you're gonna say now I'm not number one?'
