Some would say Oprah is. She gained popularity initially hosting a "Jerry Springer" lite type of talk show in the 80s/90s. She's since given platforms to people like Dr Oz who's hawked pseudo-medicine, Marianne Williamson (former presidential candidate) who tries to sell alternative medicine and pseudo-spirituality.

It doesn't have to be a 1 to 1 comparison but there's plenty of people out there that would say along one or more dimensions that Oprah is no better, better, or the same as Rogan.

I don't think that's an accurate take on Rogan. At least to say that he is less informed than Oprah.

I'd bet good money on Oprah at any point in her life beating Joe Rogan at Jeopardy, or a trivia board game. Or a 5k, for that matter.

Based on the 5K observation, you clearly have never once listened to the show, or have any first-hand knowledge of Rogan.

He's extremely physically fit, does massive amounts of cardio, and does backcountry hunting trips with only a backpack.

There is nothing more church ladyish than commenting on a subject based purely on secondhand knowledge.

I'd pay to see that

Probably can't make this kind of show on a national cable network anymore: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrity_Deathmatch
