Joe Rogan recently expressed appreciation for the HBO show 'The Righteous Gemstones.' Fellow UFC commentator Laura Sanko concurred with Rogan, citing her personal experience.

'The Righteous Gemstones' is an HBO series starring Danny McBride, Adam DeVine, and Edi Patterson, among others. It follows a South Carolina-based family of televangelists and megachurch pastors led by widowed patriarch Eli Gemstone, who, along with his immature adult children, Jesse, Judy, and Kelvin, lead opulent lives funded by the church.

Commending the series, Rogan wrote on Instagram:

"The Righteous Gemstones is one of the funniest shows of all time. Just started watching it a few weeks ago, and holy shit (no pun intended) is it good."

Joe Rogan appreciates Jon Stewart's return to 'The Daily Show'

'The Daily Show' was hosted by Jon Stewart from 1999 to 2015 and was a staple of American television, offering a hilarious and informative blend of news and comedy. Stewart announced his retirement from hosting 'The Daily Show' nearly a decade ago, but he recently returned to the series, much to the delight of Joe Rogan.

In a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience with guest fellow comedian Michael Kosta, Rogan said:

"I’m so happy he’s [Jon Stewart is] back at 'The Daily Show.' I’m so happy that he makes fun of everything, and I’m so happy that he still makes d**k jokes."
