Howard Stern

[Chimneyfish]

Hearing all these Artie clips back to back really makes him sound like a bitch. He blamed Howard for arranging the Letterman handjob date when Vinnie e-mailed Dana even though he didn't tell anyone he was back with Dana and he agreed to the whole thing, he blamed Howard for instigating the Teddy fight, he got really mad at Howard for trying to get him laid by a chick who likes fat guys, he flipped out on Sal one of the very few times that he got his balls busted on the show. Good thing Artie never had to go through half of what Jackie went through or he wouldn't have lasted nearly as long as he did.

Howard did instigate the Teddy fight, or exacerbate it, at the very least.

[Chimneyfish]

Yeah I said that wrong.

Howard definitely instigated it, but Artie blamed Howard's instigation for him going over the edge and freaking out. When Artie came back in the studio he kept implying that Howard wanted it to go that far. Howard's been bringing arguments onto the show for decades without people assaulting each other. I don't know what Artie was expecting when he was screaming at another staff member (in those hallways of all places) during the break. Getting everything out on air is the whole philosophy of the show. Artie kept saying "I've done this before!" as if he has the impulse-control of a retard or a female or something, and it made him look really bad for promising that it'd never happen again. Because when it comes down to it, Artie never had to take any serious heat on the show the way Jackie, Fred, Robin, Gary, Scott, and every single other person in the building did/does.

It's kind of like when AJ sucker-punched Stuttering John in the face just because he kept letting negative callers through. It makes me think A.J. and Artie didn't "get" the show as much as they would have really liked to. On the other hand, JD is someone who truly understands ball busting. I love when Howard will sit there and make fun of every little detail of JD's life for an hour, and then when JD thinks he's done and starts to leave Howard says "Don't go yet...uh...what else is going on with you?"

holy shit. 7 pages about a guy who's as funny as david letterman?

You're surprised that Howard Stern is popular? He had the record for the highest radio ratings ever, two #1 bestselling books and a movie that topped the box offices when it was released. I thought it was pretty well-known that a lot of people like him.

Did you mean "Evil Dave"?

[Mayhem]

Blah.

[ThirstyDrunk]

Blah.

It's pronounced "BABA BOOEY!"

Howard's been killing lately; making fun of JD with the Comic Con clips, the Glen Beck impressions, the Sybian Guy and 'Loopy' phone call- it's all been hilarious.

"I don't know if there's enough imagination in the world for Lupe to imagine you as looking like Brad Pitt. A peach pit maybe" may have been the funniest joke Benjy ever wrote.

The thing I like best about Howard, is watching all the fucktards get so worked up over what he says, the same applies for Glenn Beck.

I've always been an Imus fan - yikes, for about 30 years now (jeekas I'm old) - though he is such a suck up with liberals like Frank Rich, Mike Lupica, Doris Kearns Goodwin and their ilk - although he did challenge Michael Beschloss when he said BHO had the highest IQ of any president - he asked him what it was and he couldn't answer -sycophant schmuck - I wanna tear my ears off - to avoid the clean up I usually just turn the radio off or to WFAN - however, I do see the humor in Howard. And Howard praised my MAN Jonny Lang - had him on with Cyndi Lauper a coupla weeks ago. So he is forever okay in my book. (And I know this means a LOT to Howard.) This man should be waaaaaayyyyy more famous than he is. His talent is immeasurable. Fahrenheit and Celsius are incapable of ennumerating his heat. (I leave Kelvin out because that's all about absolute zero and such. Chilly.)

Give a listen: gird your loins:

What a shame. I always thought he was the best on the Comedy Roast's.

If Howard quits at the end of the year I don't know if I'll re-up my Sirius .
