Joe Rogan says he’s in Epstein’s files thanks to a former guest and leaves a big clue
Joe Rogan braking Cheryl Hines‘ Understanding for a second when talking about his presence in Epstein’s files.
On Tuesday’s episode of his podcast, Rogan admitted to the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” alum and wife of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that he is indeed mentioned in the files.
“I am in the archives of No Let’s go,” Rogan said.
“Hey?” Hines responded, before Rogan immediately clarified.

“Yes, I’m in the files…because Jeffrey Epstein was trying to meet with me,” Rogan said. “And I was like WHAT.”
“Aren’t you glad [you didn’t go]?” Hines asked.
“Yeah, but I never would have gone anyway,” Rogan said. “It’s like there’s not even a chance I ever went, especially after I Googled it.”
Rogan then explained that, in 2017, a former guest on his show had offered to introduce him to the late, disgraced financier.
“I was like, ‘Bitch, are you high?’” Rogan said of the exchange. “’What the fuck are you talking about?’”

Although Rogan did not name the guest, an email exchange recently released by the Department of Justice hints that the person Rogan was referring to may be Theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss.
Krauss was on Rogan’s show in March 2017. Six months later, according to Justice Department documents, Epstein emailed Krauss about his appearance.
“I saw you did the Joe =ogan [sp] show, can you introduce me? I think it’s =unny [sp]”Epstein wrote to Krauss.
It seems Epstein also tried to sweeten the deal in a follow-up email that same day that says: “if you want [sic] Rogan can have dinner with Woody on Friday.
Epstein is likely referring to director Woody Allen, who also has ties to the billionaire sexual predator.
“I’ll get back to Rogan,” Krauss responded a day later. “I think I [have] your email, or at least your producers [sic] email. he lives and [works] in Los Angeles.”
It seems that Krauss kept his promise, because a few days later, he wrote to Epstein:
“He contacted me again…asked me some questions about you…I said good things…haven’t heard back yet,” Krauss wrote.
Other celebrities also recently admitted that they found their names in Epstein’s files, including comedian Jon Stewart, who pointed it out on the “Daily Show” earlier this month.
“To get ahead of the story, I’m also in the archives,” Stewart revealed. But Stewart’s cameo in the Notorious Files was a bit like Rogan’s: it was simply mentioned in an Epstein email exchange, this time with producer Barry Josephson.
