    If you have friends in the business they’ll just keep putting you into shows. Rogan reinvented himself half a dozen times, taking whatever work he could get just to stay on TV.

    Same story with Howie Mandel and Drew Carey. Producers look for a name/face people recognize and these dinosaurs keep getting more work.

        His filmography is a bit longer than that. The man has three different pro-drugs documentaries, for instance.

        he got lucky his podcast exploded

        He kept getting shots and he kept taking them. The man was a magnet for Hollywood investment cash. He was already a mega-millionaire before the Spotify deal.
