Golden Globes recently introduced its “Best Podcast” category for the 83rd Annual Golden Globes, with the award going to Amy Poehler for her Good Hang with Amy Poehler show. Poehler beat out the likes of Armchair Expert With Dax Shepard and The Mel Robbins Podcast, among others.
The Joe Rogan Experience was not nominated, despite its continued dominance atop the podcast charts.
“A lot of people say, ‘Why wasn’t Joe Rogan nominated for the Golden Globes? Why did Amy Poehler win?’ I didn’t submit,” Rogan said on his podcast. “They asked me to submit to be nominated for the Golden Globes, and you had to pay $500. And the $500 is like for paperwork or whatever. I said, ‘No.’ 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 going to have a contest in front of all these people wearing tuxedos, and you’re going to say now I’m not number one? F*ck off.”
The nominees were chosen from a list of 25 eligible podcasts invited to submit entries, determined by Golden Globes data partner, Luminate. If all 25 podcasts submit entries, then Golden Globes banks a cool $12,500 for “paperwork,” according to Rogan.
“I don’t care that I’m number one, but I am, in fact, number one,” Rogan added. “So, if all of a sudden you have a contest to decide who’s really No. 1 ‘amongst us’, that’s amongst you! You’re allowed to have your opinion. You like Amy Poehler better than me, that’s great. I don’t care. They asked me to. I was one of like six candidates. They basically just took the top people on the charts. Which is fine. I just know that I didn’t submit. I don’t want to be a part of that. I don’t care. You’re just a group of people that just decide, all of a sudden, that you’re going to give an award out? ‘I get a trophy.’ Fuck off!”
Blame the “smug a—holes” behind the scenes.
