    I disagree that he has any particular skill that is notable. He was also a lousy comedian, most remembered for his crusade against joke stealing than anything else (I dare you to ask anyone their favorite Joe Rogan joke).

    He had first mover advantage. Then he started to realize the right wing hits were drawing his viewers, and went further in further in that direction.
