Jamie Vernon, the producer for the extremely popular Joe Rogan Experience podcast, has tested positive for COVID-19.<\/p>\n

So far, Rogan himself has tested negative for the virus, despite the fact that he works in close proximity with Vernon.<\/p>\n

This is pertinent news for fight fans, of course, as Rogan is the foremost<\/a> commentator for the UFC. Thankfully, Rogan isn’t scheduled to commentate this Saturday’s UFC 254 card, so it doesn’t look this will have any implication on his broadcast duties\u2014even if he does wind up testing positive.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, however, this does mean the Joe Rogan Experience podcast will be off the air for at least a week. Rogan explained the situation on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we have a situation: Young Jamie Vernon tested positive today for COVID-19,\u201d Rogan said (via MMA Mania<\/a>). \u201cI tested negative. The rest of the staff tested negative. But Jamie tested positive. He thought maybe he had a sinus infection or allergies, but he has COVID.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were off last week, the episodes we aired we had previously recorded so I hadn\u2019t seen Jamie in 9 days,\u201d Rogan added. \u201cAnd he said somewhere around this past Thursday he felt like s**t for a day, and then started feeling better on Friday, and by Saturday he was mostly over it. Today he says he feels 90%-ish over it. But it\u2019s COVID so we cancelled all the shows. We\u2019re happy he had a mild case but we cancelled all the shows.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m keeping away from everybody and testing myself and testing the staff every day until we\u2019re in the clear,\u201d Rogan continued. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing we can do. So we\u2019re cancelling all podcasts this week and I won\u2019t know when we can do them again until we can get a clear from the doctor. I think it has to be 10 days and 3 negative test results in a row. So that takes us deep into next week.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what we\u2019re going to do, we could do some shows remotely, we could do some shows with a substitute producer which I really don\u2019t want to do. But … we\u2019ll figure it out and I\u2019m happy Jamie has a mild case and I\u2019m happy he\u2019s feeling better but obviously this is a f**ked up situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy apologies to the guests, my apologies to all of you,\u201d Rogan concluded. \u201cIt\u2019s out of my hands, obviously. And I\u2019ll keep you posted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for more updates on this situation as new details emerge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
