The interview was set for this Friday, October 23rd, but it looks like it's not going to happen now. 

Yesterday, Rogan announced that his producer Jamie has tested positive for Covid-19, but he and the rest of the staff have tested negative.  

The positive test has shut down this week's interviews, including Kanye's which was supposed to be on Friday. 

All podcasts are cancelled this week

Young @jamievernon tested positive for COVID-19. I tested negative, and the rest of the staff tested negative but we’re shutting everything down until we get an all clear from our doctor. I was out of town last week and the shows that aired had all been previously recorded, so I haven’t had any contact with Jamie in the past 9 days except for briefly today, but I’m staying away from everyone and being tested every day until I know I’m in the clear.
I’ll keep you folks posted as to when the show will resume.
