Trevor Noah is unmoved by Joe Rogan’s latest apology. The comedian and host of The Daily Show dedicated a long segment on an episode this week to the top podcaster’s most recent controversy in which Rogan, on the heels of his Spotify and vaccine saga, was forced to address a viral video that compiled his use of the N-word on his podcast over the years.
“Now, I know that to most people there is no context where a white person is ever allowed to say that word, never mind publicly on a podcast,” Rogan said in his apology video earlier this week. “And I agree with that now, I haven’t said it in years. But for a long time, when I would bring the word up like if it would come up in conversation, instead of saying the N-word, I would just say the word…. For years I used it in that manner. never used it to be racist, because I’m not racist. But whenever you’re in a situation where you have to say ‘I’m not racist,’ you fucked up. And I clearly have fucked up.”
