"So here's the thing. 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. So 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 already won. You can't tell me I didn't win. I've been number one for six years in a row. All of 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**k off I don't care that I'm number one, but I am, in fact, number one, he said."
Joe Rogan declined the Golden Globes' $500 submission fee and therefore was not entered for the inaugural podcast nomination. He reported being on a shortlist of top candidates but refused the fee, saying his podcast's sustained number-one status provides sufficient recognition. Amy Poehler's Good Hang won the first Best Podcast award. Bert Kreischer observed that podcasts recognized by the Globes had corporate backing. Bill Maher criticized the Globes for not nominating Rogan, attributing the omission to awards voters living in liberal bubbles and suggesting politics hurt his own Emmy prospects.
