Fans on Reddit debate Rogan’s height after a viral photo with Venture Capitalist Palihapitiya sparks speculation.

The internet is abuzz once again with a debate centered around UFC commentator and podcaster Joe Rogan, but this time, it's not about his latest podcast or UFC event. 

Instead, the focus is on Rogan’s height after a recent photo with venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya sparked discussions across social media. 

Chamath Palihapitiya appeared as a guest on "The Joe Rogan Experience," and as a result, the two posed for a photo together. 

The image, which quickly went viral, especially on Reddit, reignited long-standing curiosity about Rogan's actual height.

Rogan has never officially confirmed his height, but internet rumors suggest he stands at around 5'7" or 5'8". However, many fans aren’t convinced.

One Reddit user kicked off the debate by posting the now-viral photo and asking, "Can’t decide if Joe’s a tall 5’7 or a short 5’8." 

This question quickly baffled many, leading to a flurry of responses from fans weighing in on the matter.

Several users who claimed to have seen Rogan in person offered their opinions, with some asserting that the podcast host is shorter than commonly believed. 

“He’s about 5’5 with shoes. I’ve seen him live at the comedy store a few times,” one commenter wrote. 

Another added, “He’s like 5’5 at best, lol,” while someone else chimed in with, “He’s definitely 5’6 on a good day.”

Interestingly, a few fans believed Rogan might be even shorter, alleging that the UFC commentator wears shoes with heels to boost his height. 

“He’s 5’3. 5’7 in his lifts but claims 5’8. This is the final word on Joe’s height. Case closed,” one user claimed. Another echoed that sentiment, writing, “He’s defo 5’3, probably 5’6 with the heels on.”

While the conversation remained light-hearted, some fans noted that Rogan's success far outweighs any concerns about his stature. 

"My guess was 5’3 or 5’4. But he’s rich," a user joked, putting a positive spin on the debate. Others commented on Rogan’s muscular physique, suggesting that his increasing muscle mass might create the illusion of him being shorter than he actually is. “Joe’s problem is that he keeps getting wider. 

That makes a short guy look even shorter,” one commenter pointed out. Another added, “Getting shorter by the day.”

With all the speculation, many fans are now curious whether Rogan will address the ongoing debate on his podcast. 

Some are even urging him to clear up the mystery once and for all. Until then, the internet will continue to buzz with theories about the true height of the man behind the microphone.
