I like Joe Rogan but calling him a world class comedian and martial artist is not right. He doesn't compete in BJJ and he always was a middling comedian.

You’re not wrong, but Georges St-Pierre says Joe has the best turning side kick he has ever seen, and that’s gotta count for something.

Indeed, and they hand out Netflix specials to anyone who can fog a mirror these days so it's probably not a useful measure... Maybe I should just do one.

Indeed. Just remember to keep your knee high - that’s where the power comes from.

He sold out Madison Square Gardens and headlines along with Dave Chappelle. He's not one of the top comedians of all time in my opinion (Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock Louis CK, Bill Burr), but he is wildly successful for a comedian.
He was a state champion in Tae Kwon Do when he was younger and is a black belt in BJJ. He's very experienced in multiple types of martial arts. He doesn't compete because he's 54 years old but he still trains every day.

Statistically, "of all time" should probably include some dead people...

I said it was my opinion. Feel free to disagree with our own opinions.

Your GOAT comedians list needs some work.

Yes. He's okay. I've seen worse. I've seen better. I would consider him a second tier comic but he is indisputably very successful.
