The UFC color commentator, Joe Rogan, is known to be a big name within the mixed martial arts community. His involvement in podcasting has brought him great prominence in the sports industry.
With experience in mastering several activities, Rogan’s audience connects with his words more firmly, as he also interviews many prominent individuals in the industry. With great fame, comes little discretion in personal life, as fans often wonder if Joe Rogan has a brother and if it’s Seth Rogen.
Hey @joerogan. Do people always spell your name RogEn? Or am I the only one getting fucked here?

By having similar names, Joe and Seth are often mistaken for brothers, as there’s only a difference in the letter ‘E.’ In fact, several years ago, the comedian Seth Rogen shared a comic tweet asking, “Hey Joe Rogan. Do people always spell your name RogEn? Or am I the only one getting f**ked here?”
However, these two have previously, many times, made it clear that they are not related. They come from very different backgrounds and are in very different industries as well.
Who is Joe Rogan’s brother?
Besides having similar-sounding surnames, the UFC color commentator and comedian do not have anything in common. However, Rogan does have a brother who is well-established in his field. He is actually related to the famous singer and writer, Gerard Way.
During a chit-chat with Kevin Smith on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the former Fear Factor host confirmed he is related to Gerard. Smith asked Rogan whether he was in any way related to the famous singer Gerard Way and if his grandmother’s name was Rosie.
The UFC color commentator answered the question mentioning how he is related to Way. Smith revealed that Way said the same thing to him, “I don’t have 100 % confirmation on this, but I’m pretty sure Joe Rogan is my cousin. My aunt Josie was his grandmother”.
Though Rogan did admit being related to Way, he also shared that the two of them do not actually know each other. Both of them are well-known names in their respective fields, so there might be a good chance that the two would get on Rogan’s podcast.

Seth Rogen and Joe Rogan may have certain things in common. Both of them studied martial arts early, and today they are entertaining people, Rogen with his stand-up and Rogan with his podcast.
Besides Way, Rogan does not have any relatives who are famous, and definitely not Seth Rogen. They might have similar careers and similar-sounding surnames, but they definitely do not have a common family.
