Joe Rogan’s interview of Trump has doubled in one day to more than 20-million views

When GOP candidate and former President Donald Trump sat for a nearly three-hour, wide-ranging interview with popular podcaster Joe Rogan, on his show the Joe Rogan Experience, he attracted some 10 million viewers on YouTube in less than 24 hours after it was released online. That number has more than doubled less than a day later to more than 20 million. 

Normally his shows reach a couple million views on YouTube, according to the New York Post, so the number for the Trump interview stands as one of the most viral episodes ever for Rogan. 

The interview got more viewers than the dramatic first game of the World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees, the two most iconic teams in Major League Baseball representing the two largest cities in the country. That game drew 15.2 million viewers. 

The Joe Rogan Experience’s most popular episode ever was in 2018. It featured Elon Musk smoking a joint, and has been viewed 69 million times since it was first released.
