10 Behind-The-Scenes Joe Rogan Experience Facts
10. The Many Lives Of Young Jamie
Jamie Vernon (aka Young Jamie) has been a staple of the show and fan favourite since taking over full-time recording (and googling) duties from Brian Redban in 2014. Jamie initially worked alongside Redban until quality issues and increasing animosity between Rogan and Redban led to Jamie’s promotion to sole producer.
It is understandable that Jamie is somewhat overshadowed on the show literally entitled “The Joe Rogan Experience”, speaking on average for only 3 minutes per episode. He does, however, have an interesting backstory of his own. Before coming aboard JRE, Jamie played bass guitar in a band that once opened as a supporting act for heavy metal also-rans Mudvayne, and was a decent basketball player at high school level in Columbus, Ohio.
Jamie has also noted that he has been semi-professional at both photography and playing retro fighting games competitively before finding his niche as the much-loved producer on JRE.
