      If you have friends in the business they’ll just keep putting you into shows. Rogan reinvented himself half a dozen times, taking whatever work he could get just to stay on TV.

      Same story with Howie Mandel and Drew Carey. Producers look for a name/face people recognize and these dinosaurs keep getting more work.

          His filmography is a bit longer than that. The man has three different pro-drugs documentaries, for instance.

          he got lucky his podcast exploded

          He kept getting shots and he kept taking them. The man was a magnet for Hollywood investment cash. He was already a mega-millionaire before the Spotify deal.

        I was going to reply something about how he isn’t relevant because he has been dead for like a decade but I googled him to get the exact date correct first and I was shocked to find out he is still alive.
