10 Things We Learned From Kevin Smith On Joe Rogan's Podcast

6. Rogan Was Almost In Jay & Silent Bob Reboot

The Jay And Silent Bob Reboot will be great for fans of the existing universe, but there's also another big selling point for more casual fans - the sheer number of cameos in there. Smith called in lots of people he knows, but one person he couldn't get over the line was Rogan himself.

Initially, he had his producer reach out to Rogan, who turned her down flat, so Smith tried to pull his own strings, believing their relationship would get it done. It did not:

“I f*cking email or texted Joe and I said, ‘Hey man, we’re making Reboot. Do you want to come play? And just flat out on Front Street, as true as he can be, [Joe] goes, ‘I hate that acting sh*t.’ That’s what you wrote.”

Smith praised Rogan for his commitment to not ruining his credibility, but the host claims it wasn't about that. Instead, he says he just doesn't like it and his busy schedule means he has to keep his priorities minimal and “says no to everything.”
