The Howard Stern thread

[mikegiuliana]

He makes me laugh...

you listen in france or did you live in the usa for a bit??

I used to get the televised show on cable, and went to the usa for a bit?

Nothing could beat the Heather Locklear moments ( on tv) and i especially loved the golden pants that showed his ass ( gold lam?)..

Wasn't the tv show axed ?

What's become of that black woman who was on too? ? i liked her.

you mean the tv show with robin quivers his side kick recording of the radio show?? yeah it was gone a few years back ,but they have the E! channel which airs all the same stuff..

[Timothy]

When does his thing start with syrius?

January 1st, unless he gets out of his contract sooner, which seems unlikely.

I got sirius around christmas, just to be prepared for him to switch.  But now I love it and listen to it all the time.  100X better than regular radio, in my opinion. 

Well now I know what what I'm buying myself for christmas.

though i was at best buy the other day and almost bought one it was only like $100 plus the monthly Suvscribtion.

he is funny, but very provocative. Maybe too much sometimes. But he is funny.
I used to watch a couple of his radio momments like jessica on the french TV (paris premiere) a long time ago.

I used to listen to Stern all the time when I lived in New York. Than for a few years when I was in the military that I couldnt pick up his show where I was stationed. When I moved to Florida I could get his show again and I was like "Alright! Same old Howard !" After listening for a few months my attitude became "Damn its the same thing almost everyday! "

Howard broke the ground for all the talk stations now that try to push the envelope and should be bowed down to everymorning by all talk show hosts for what he has done in the past, but his present and future seem pretty dull in my opinion. He's going to make a ton of money going to satellite radio, and good for him he deserves it but I'll stick with my all talk station down here, that entertains me just as well and its free. If anyone wants to check this station out, all the shows are broadcast from their website  www.wzzr.com   just click on the listen live link. All the shows broadcast from Florida so it might be a bit to localized for some tastes.

[Sterlingdog]

Anyone going to be in New York for the final show?

[RichardNixon]

I like Stern, but a little goes a long way. Same shit every show.

[Booker Floyd]

As I said in the O'Reilly thread, Stern was once great.? His current show is just lame and his outrageous self-aggrandizing is embarassing.? Just a few weeks ago he actually claimed to "invent" having artists perform acoustically on the radio after taking credit for the MTV UnPlugged series. That kind of delusion seems to have dominated the show in recent years.? He sounds asleep at the microphone nowadays, he cowers from competition only to make behind-the-scenes power plays with management, and the show consists largely of prattle about sushi restaurants and trips to the Hamptons and incredibly lame bits such as "Wheel Of Sex" (which I believe he also took credit for, despite The Man Show doing essentially the same months, if not a year or so, before Stern).? Its painfully obvious that Sterns lost his spark and is just going through the motions, and the entire show just sounds very, very tired.?

In fairness, this is based on occassional visits to MarksFriggin.com, clips played on other radio shows and reports on various websites, because I havent listened to Sterns show in over a year.? I strongly recommend fans of Stern get a free 3-day trial from XMRadio.com and check out the Opie & Anthony Show, a show that resembles Sterns in its prime (the late 80s into the "Billy West Era") in terms of energy, but is completely fresh and singular.  Its more clever, more honest, and just plain funnier than Sterns present show.? I havent listened to more than a minute of Stern since they returned to radio last year.?

So I'll take that as a no, you're not going to the final show?

I still think Stern's show is pretty funny.  I think Artie Lang adds so much to the show.  I don't think it would be nearly as funny without him.  I think Stern is just killing time on air right now until he gets on XM.  Once he's there expect to hear a much more outrageous and funny show.

[Booker Floyd]

So I'll take that as a no, you're not going to the final show?

No...but whats the exact date?  Ill probably check it out a few times during the morning because, in all likelihood, itll be the last time I listen to show and I was a huge fan for many years. 

I think Artie Lang adds so much to the show.

I really had mixed feelings about Artie...Honestly, I think Jackie leaving basically killed the show.  But when they were auditioning replacements (spring and summer of '01 I believe), I really liked Artie and rooted for him to get the spot.  But soon I started to find him extremely grating, mostly due to his seemingly non-stop lame impressions (the Yosemite Sam-style redneck the Midddle eastern were the worst).  I wasnt finding many of his lines funny either.  With that said, hes a very likeable, fun guy in general, and he is funny.  Ive watched a few of what I suppose are the last E! shows lately, and he seems to be doing a good job. 

I think Stern is just killing time on air right now until he gets on XM.  Once he's there expect to hear a much more outrageous and funny show.

Sterns going to Sirius Satellite, but I subscribe to XM and strongly recommend it to anyone.  Id at least suggest getting a free trial for both before making a decision.

Maybe the move to satellite will genuinely revitalize him...but Im skeptical.  Ive heard about his ideas for satellite and theyre as lame as anything hes doing now:

(From the NY Post) December 4, 2005 -- Howard Stern has crowed for months about how he'll get as filthy as humanly possible when he jumps to censorship-free Sirius Satellite Radio next month ? and now he's revealing for the first time, in a New York magazine interview, just how X-rated his new show will be.
In an expletive-filled interview that hits newsstands tomorrow, the sex-obsessed shock jock tells of five new jaw-dropping features that are sure to push the boundaries of bad taste.

The idea behind the filthy five ideas, Stern says, is to gratify his listeners.

"Wouldn't it be brilliant if my audience could all lie down at night together and [achieve orgasm] together?" he asks.

To that end, Stern plans to offer up one regular segment called "Confessions from the Bunny Ranch," in which he plans to wire a room at the famed Nevada whorehouse for sound.

"You'll be right in the prostitute's room. You'll hear the negotiation. You'll hear the screwing. You'll hear the after-sex conversation," Stern tells New York.

He's also working on "I Want to F - - - a Porn Star," a sex-drenched send-up of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," in which contestants get to have sex with an adult film star if they pass a quiz.

"It's going to be difficult," Stern cautions.

Then there's "Tissue Time With Heidi Cortez," which will feature appearances by a 24-year-old Playboy model who will offer phone sex to Howard's audience.


For years, he presented the "Lesbian Dating Game," in which a gay woman got to take her pick of three hot women. But the segment was dropped after the FCC began its crackdown on "indecent" and "obscene" material. Now it's coming back with a, uh, bang.

"I'm going to give you real action. We'll have the sex right there," Stern says.

Stern is also getting ready to send up "The View," which he's ranked on for years, particularly hammering away at Star Jones.

"We're going to round up four crack whores, and every night we're going to take the exact topics that 'The View' talked about," the shaggy-haired gabber says. "It will be 10 times better."

[pilferk]

I like Stern, but won't make it to the final show.

My Sirrius package, however, is purchased and "under the tree" as we speak, though I'll miss his first week on Sirrius as I'll be travelling for work.

His final show on terrestrial radio will be Dec 16th (not this friday, but next).?

[RichardNixon]

What do people think of Adam Corolla and David Lee Roth as replacements?

[Sterlingdog]

Howard said on the show that Yahoo is going to broadcast it when he goes outside.? So if you want to see it, you could try that too.? I'm supposed to be at my work Christmas party around that time, but I will probably sneak off a few times.

On the Sirius vs. XM thing, I only have Sirius.? I've had it for a year, but I got it so I could keep hearing Stern.? Turns out, I listen to it all the time.? Its so much better than regular radio.? If anyone was trying to decide though, I would consider what sports you like.? I don't like any, so Howard was the deciding factor for me.? But they don't both carry they same sports.? Sirius has NFL, but XM has baseball.? Not sure what else.?

What do people think of Adam Corolla and David Lee Roth as replacements?

Adam Corolla might be good.? I won't listen though, because I'll be listening to Sirius.? I really can't see David Lee Roth being even remotely entertaining though.? I've heard him on Stern and he sounds like an idiot.

[pilferk]

What do people think of Adam Corolla and David Lee Roth as replacements?

Our local "Stern" station actually isn't an infinity station.  They're an independant (maybe the last one on the planet...WCCC in Hartford...Stern actually worked their in the early 70's and sometimes mentions them) and are going to be bringing back a local jock (Sebastian) when Stern leaves.  I've heard Sebastion before, and he's not my cup of tea.  He's one of those guys who tries to be raunchy and funny, but ends up THINKING he's funnier than he actually is.

[Rob]

Yeah, my bad Sirius radio.  I'm interested in hearing Roth.  I won't make sure I listen to him, but if he's on when I happen to be in a car I'll give it a listen.  I personally think Artie is a lot funnier than Jackie.  I laugh at Artie more than anyone else on the show.  I was never a huge fan of Jackie, and he was a prick anyway.

[mikegiuliana]

Anyone going to be in New York for the final show?

last time I saw him was around thanksgiving 04 when stern and the gang were handing out free radios.. I love hearing the dude been following him since the late 80's but I wll not be going..

[RichardNixon]

Did Stern back Kerry or Bush in '04?
