In 2000, Rubin continued his career at the New York-based Comedy Cellar.[10] Later that year he joined with other Comedy Cellar comedians to create a public-access television series, a news program parody called The Anti-Show which was secretly filmed at NBC Studios in 30 Rockefeller Plaza.[11]

In 2002, he co-founded several New York City-based comedy clubs including Joe Franklin's Comedy Club and The Comedy Company in Times Square where he continued to do stand-up until 2007.[7]

In 2018, Rubin returned to stand-up, performing a show at the Irvine Improve Comedy Club.[12]

He was the host of two popular podcasts, Hot Gay Comics and The Ben and Dave Show. Both podcasts were turned into a television series on the here! television network.[13]

In May 2009, Rubin co-created and co-hosted a new podcast called The Six Pack, which went on to become a top podcast on iTunes.[14] In October 2011, The Six Pack was picked up by Sirius XM Radio and began its run as a live talk show until its end in December 2012.[15]

In 2013, Rubin was nominated by LA Weekly for a "Funniest Twitter" award.[16][17] His comedic and political tweets have been mentioned in Time (magazine) ,[18] Politico,[19] and Salon.[20]

In 2014, while still hosting The Rubin Report, Rubin also hosted The Golden Girls Ultimate Fan Club, a weekly web-series on Logo TV.[22]

In 2015, Rubin moved his show The Rubin Report from The Young Turks Network to RYOT News. Shortly after, Larry King's Ora TV picked up the show which debuted on September 9, 2015.[3]

In an interview with author Sam Harris on The Rubin Report, Rubin cited Cenk Uygur's heated criticism of Harris as having "a good amount to do with why I left" The Young Turks.[23]

Rubin has described himself as a classical liberal.[24] In the 2016 presidential election he voted for Gary Johnson, but says he regretted this decision a few months after.[25] He has opposed elements of the progressive movement he identifies as the regressive left,[26] and has said that he considers being politically progressive to be "a mental disorder".[27][28] In an interview in March 2018, Rubin said he would vote for Donald Trump in the 2020 U.S. presidential election if a progressive like Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, or Gavin Newsom is running against him.[29] Rubin also characterized President Trump as a political moderate, saying "he's a Democrat in a lot of ways", and spoke favorably of Trump's cuts in government regulations.[30]
