Welcome to The Johnny Rogers Show! I’m Johnny Rogers, and every week I sit down with incredible guests from all walks of life—stand-up comics, musicians, teachers, artists, and more. Each conversation is packed with valuable life lessons and fresh perspectives, all centered around one unique twist: my guest chooses a single word. That word either defines them or captures something they’re passionate about, and it guides our discussion. Life can be tough to navigate, but together, we break it down one word at a time.

Will Rogers - pithy, political, and plainspoken - was one of the finest entertainers of his generation. As a great American humorist, it was considered an honor to be made fun of by him. By the time of his death in 1935, he had traveled the globe three times, written some four thousand articles, and was one of America's highest-paid film stars. He began his act in Vaudeville by saying, "All I know is what I read in the papers," while idly swinging a lasso he used for rope tricks.
