Overview

The Howard Stern show is a free form comedy show consisting of banter between the cast, various games (often with sexual themes) involving the cast or listeners, taped bits such as prank phone calls and celebrity interviews. Common themes include current events, Hollywood gossip, politics, and ridiculing staff members for their mistakes and incompetence. Traditionally, producer Gary Dell'Abate (a.k.a. "Bababooey") and Scott the Engineer take the brunt of Howard's anger most frequently, but no person or topic is considered sacred and every cast member including Robin and Howard himself have taken ridicule on the show. A prank call, also known as a crank call, hoax call, or phony phone call is a form of practical joke committed over the telephone. ... Megastar redirects here. ... ...

Show history

1980s

In one typical example of the radio show, Stern persuaded a female caller to have phone sex with him on the air. He made deep buzzing noises into his microphone, and had her sit on a speaker with the volume turned up (this incident appeared as a scene in Stern's 1997 movie Private Parts). Another notable episode was on WWDC-FM (DC101 Radio) in Washington, D.C., in which Stern called Air Florida and asked what the fare was for a one-way ticket from Washington National Airport to the 14th Street Bridge (on the Potomac River, less than one mile from the airport). He was making light of the crash of Air Florida Flight 90 one day earlier, on January 13, 1982, which had killed 78 persons (both on-board the airplane and in vehicles stopped in traffic on the bridge). That June 29, Stern was fired from DC-101 radio after being suspended for criticizing his station management and two other radio stations. Stern's lawyer alleged: Phone sex refers to sexually explicit conversation between two or more persons via telephone, especially when at least one of the participants masturbates or engages in sexual fantasy. ...

It's our view that the real reason they've [fired Stern] is they would like to get new DC-101 deejays 'GreaseMan' and 'Adam Smasher' on the air as soon as possible, and hope the audience forgets about Howard, and that's a perfectly rational business judgment.

In 1986, Stern's show was syndicated in Philadelphia via WYSP, which he announced on Late Night with David Letterman. The local media initially doubted that Stern would be a success in the Philadelphia market;^[1] however, in a move that would repeat itself many times over in his career, Stern was successful in knocking off the local morning talent (John Debella) to become number one in the ratings.^[2] Doug The Greaseman Tracht (born August 1, 1950 in The Bronx, New York) is a radio personality who was probably most famous during his time (8/2/1982-1/22/1993) on WWDC-FM in the Washington, D.C. area, where he took over the morning drive time slot from... 1986 (MCMLXXXVI) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

1990s

In 1991, The Howard Stern Show began to broadcast into Los Angeles, a move that was considered risky at the time, on the station KLSX 97.1. Predictions about the success of his show like the one of a local L.A. radio listener, "Vulgarity has reached a new low. I think he's going to bomb beautifully out here. At least I hope he does. I'm sure he'll find the Los Angeles market is more sophisticated", proved in the end to be untrue.^[3] 1991 (MCMXCI) was a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

In 1992, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) fined Infinity Broadcasting $600,000 after Stern discussed masturbating to a picture of Aunt Jemima.

In 1994, Stern embarked on a political campaign for Governor of New York, formally announcing his candidacy under the Libertarian Party ticket. Although he legally qualified for the office and campaigned for a time after his nomination, many viewed the run for office as nothing more than a publicity stunt. He subsequently withdrew his candidacy because he did not want to comply with the financial disclosure requirements for candidates. Stern stated that he had ultimately decided to support the Republican, George Pataki, who wound up winning over incumbent Mario Cuomo, and Stern was seen shaking Pataki's hand on television in congratulation. Stern made national news in 1994 by preventing a suicidal man from leaping to his death off the George Washington Bridge.^[6] 1994 (MCMXCIV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated as the International Year of the Family and the International Year of the Sport and the Olympic Ideal by United Nations. ...

In March 1995, one day before the funeral of slain Tejano singer Selena, Stern played the sounds of gunshots in the background over some of her music. He also made comments that were considered racist by many people, such as "Alvin and the Chipmunks have more soul," and "Spanish people have the worst taste in music...they have no depth."^[7] After pressure from his radio station, Stern gave an on-air apology a week later in Spanish. 1995 was a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

In 1997, Stern's autobiography Private Parts was adapted to film. The movie did well at box offices, opening at #1 [1]. Together with the video release, it garnered a total of over $60 million. He had also announced plans for a film provisionally titled The Adventures of Fartman, based on a character created for his appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards in 1992.

Also in 1997, Stern's show aired for the first time in Canada, appearing on CILQ "Classic Rock Q107" in Toronto and CHOM-FM in Montreal. Both stations canceled Stern's show (CHOM-FM sometime in 2000, "Pure Rock Q107" (latter-Stern name, though they have since returned to Classic Rock) in November 2001) after frequent listener complaints to the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council and the CRTC; for most of the time that the stations did air Stern's program, they were required to monitor the show for offensive content through the use of broadcast delays. Stern has commented on-air that the Canadian government disapproved of his use of the ethnic slur "Pollack", and that was one of the reasons why his show was not broadcast in Canada until February 6, 2006, when "Howard 100" debuted on Sirius Canada.

Stern has had his share of stalkers and death threats. On January 15, 1998, Lance Carvin was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for stalking and threatening to kill Stern and his family.

Stern's April 21, 1999 show drew angry criticism and official "censure" from the Colorado State Legislature for his comment regarding the motives of the two male students who murdered 12 classmates and one teacher in the Columbine High School massacre in Colorado: April 21 is the 111th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (112th in leap years). ... 1999 (MCMXCIX) was a common year starting on Friday, and was designated the International Year of Older Persons by the United Nations. ...

There were some really good-looking girls running out with their hands over their heads. Did those kids try to have sex with any of the good-looking girls? They didn't even do that? At least if you're going to kill yourself and kill all the kids, why wouldn't you have some sex? If I was going to kill some people, I'd take them out with sex.^[8]

Stern did not apologize for his words but instead argued that his comments were an attempt to figure out what was wrong with the two attackers. Stern believes much of the furor was roused by deejays at competing stations in the Denver market. He said: Nickname: The Mile-High City Location of Denver in Colorado Coordinates: Country United States State Colorado City-County Denver (coextensive) Founded November 22, 1858 Incorporated November 7, 1861 Mayor John Hickenlooper (D) Area    - City 401. ...

There has been a tragic shooting in Denver. It's a national horror and what are the deejays doing? They're announcing my sponsors trying to get them to pull out. Are they really caring about the Denver community, or are they really just saying, 'Hey, maybe we can get Howard Stern off the air?' If I'm so vicious, why would you draw attention to me?

He explained his remarks this way: "Maybe my intent was poorly worded, but ... the point in making that comment was an attempt to try to understand a motive."^[9]

2000s

On March 5, 2001, the Howard Stern Show officially announced that longtime show regular Jackie "The Jokeman" Martling had left the radio show after failed contract negotiations. Over the next several months, various comedians auditioned in the "Jackie Chair" for the job, with comedian Artie Lange landing the position.

Sometime in 2000 Stern asked his Infinity Broadcasting bosses to stop Opie and Anthony, who were also employed at Infinity, from mentioning him on their radio show. Infinity agreed and a gag order was placed on the two DJs. Stern never publicly talked about the order until 2006, when he was asked about the issue by a phone caller while appearing on the Sean Hannity radio show.^[10].

Stern was on the air in his New York City studio during the September 11, 2001 attacks and stayed on the air with his cast/crew while many other broadcasters fled the city. Fittingly, he was in the middle of a rousing story about a rendezvous with Pamela Anderson when he first mentioned the World Trade Center was on fire. His coverage of the tragedy increased as the gravity of the situation became clear. His live reporting was the first news of the incident for many East Coast residents. The show had a somewhat subdued tone, with many listeners calling in to share their own stories of survival or personal loss. As other comedy performers like David Letterman and Jon Stewart later returned to the air, many with emotionally-charged monologues, Stern was furious at the glowing response they received in the press, as he had been on the air the whole time without any positive reaction. This reinforced his long-held belief that there is a bias against him in the mainstream media. Stern's September 11, 2001 broadcast was replayed in its entirety on the fifth anniversary of the attacks on September 11, 2006. Among Stern fans - many of whom work in the broadcasting and entertainment fields - the September 11th broadcast was a watershed moment; as Stern remarked before the gravity of the situation was truly apparent, "I'm auditioning for Dan Rathers' job".)

On February 25, 2004, Clear Channel Communications "indefinitely suspended" him from six markets because of alleged indecency involving sexual and racist dialogue during his show. The show in question featured Rick Salomon, whose claims to fame include a publicly released home video showing him having sex with hotel heiress and socialite Paris Hilton. During this broadcast Stern asked Salomon questions about anal sex, during which a caller used the word "nigger". Clear Channel president John Hogan said, "Clear Channel drew a line in the sand today with regard to protecting our listeners from indecent content, and Howard Stern's show blew right through it...it was vulgar, offensive and insulting, not just to women and African-Americans but to anyone with a sense of common decency." The move came only a day after Clear Channel fired Bubba the Love Sponge for similar reasons. Due to the timing of the incident, this is considered to be part of a wide-ranging backlash against obscenity triggered by the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy.

Because Clear Channel and some of its executives have donated over $200,000 to the Republican Party, Stern claims the company was trying to penalize him for his harsh criticisms of President George W. Bush. Stern normally avoids political commentary, but told his listeners: The presidential seal was used by President Hayes in 1880 and last modified in 1959 by adding the 50th star for Hawaii. ...

There are a lot of people saying that the second that I started saying, 'I think we gotta get Bush out of the presidency,' that's when Clear Channel banged my ass outta here. Then I find out that Clear Channel is such a big contributor to President Bush, and in bed with the whole Bush administration, I'm going, 'Maybe that's why I was thrown off: because I don't like the way the country is leaning too much to the religious right.' And then, bam! Let's get rid of Stern. I used to think, 'Oh, I can't believe that.' But that's it! That's what's going on here! I know it! I know it!^[11]

Stern turned against Bush because neither Clear Channel nor Bush "got the FCC off my back." Stern perceived Bush's religious beliefs as fanatical and has described George W. Bush as a "Jesus freak," a "maniac" and "an arrogant bastard".^[12] The term Religious Right is a broad label applied by both scholars and critics to a number of political and religious movements and groups that primarily are active around conservative and right wing social issues. ...

Stern endorsed John Kerry in the 2004 U.S. presidential campaign, and urged his listeners to vote for him, the latest in a long string of political endorsements Stern has made. In the past, he had also supported former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani. In one on-air stunt, Stern promised then-gubernatorial candidate Christine Todd Whitman of New Jersey that he would endorse her candidacy if she promised to name a rest stop on the New Jersey Turnpike after him if she were elected.

On February 27, 2004, long-time Stern show regular John Melendez left the show to become the on-air announcer for The Tonight Show. Stern has consistently claimed the move was an attempt by Jay Leno to steal ideas from Howard's show.

Throughout Spring 2004, Stern was a very vocal and staunch critic of Mel Gibson and his religious epic, The Passion of the Christ. He called the film a "kook festival for a robotic freak audience" and even linked his radio suspension to the film, claiming that it was causing a "religious frenzy" and that anyone who goes to see the movie is "stupid and ignorant".

On April 8, 2004, Clear Channel Communications announced it would "permanently terminate" its relationship with the shock jock after being fined $500,000 by the FCC. However, on July 19, Stern returned to four of the six markets Clear Channel booted him from, and added five new ones to the roster, this time on Infinity-owned stations. ^{[citation needed]} In late August, he returned to a fifth market, Miami, on an independent station. Here, as was often typical with Stern, his return was greeted with controversy as the Miami Dolphins threatened to revoke their broadcast deal with the station in question if the station did not fire him.

The move to Sirius satellite radio

On October 6, 2004, Stern announced on his show that he signed a five year, $500 million deal with the satellite radio service Sirius. The deal also contained an additional $225 million one-time stock bonus which he would receive if the show attracted a certain amount of listeners in a given time, which it did.

The move to satellite radio met with controversy, as Stern talked about his move to Sirius on his terrestrial show, including telling listeners how to purchase Sirius equipment and subscriptions. To promote his move, Stern held a rally in New York City where he gave out coupons for free or discounted Sirius equipment. Stern's touting of his move to Sirius resulted in some radio stations censoring him every time he mentioned the words "Sirius" or "satellite radio". In one incident, Farid Suleman of Citadel Broadcasting billed Stern $200,000 for the plugs he gave Sirius on his show. Stern's responded publicly on his show "Keep sending me bills. Like I'm going to pay 'em".

The December 12, 2005 issue of New York Magazine revealed that XM Satellite Radio had been prepared to offer Howard a $30 million dollar per-year contract in 2004, but its executives were slow to close the deal, giving Sirius the chance it needed. When asked why he picked Sirius over their competitor XM, Howard replied that he "always liked the underdog. Every radio station I ever went to was a toilet bowl."^[15] He has also stated that during very preliminary negotiations with XM, he found the management to be slow and unresponsive while Sirius was "nimble". Stern's budget with Sirius, including all operating costs, is $500 million for the five year contract.

In addition, Sirius gave Stern two channels, "Howard 100" and "Howard 101". Both of these channels launched in October 2005. Although Stern himself was not able to broadcast on Sirius until his Infinity contract expired, he had been producing content to fill the otherwise dead air. Shows included a live 24-hour broadcast of Wack Pack member "Wendy the Retard", a 24-hour broadcast of Wack Packer "High Pitch Eric" featuring the weighing of his excrement, and auditions of other Wack Packers for their own permanent shows. A news team of award-winning journalists was put together to launch "Howard 100 News," a nightly broadcast of "all things Howard." Stern also announced fellow shock jock Bubba the Love Sponge would have his own nightly talk show starting in January 2006 on one of his channels. Since the move to Sirius, Stern has created "The Friday Show", which is an extended version of "The Wrap-up Show", which airs everyday after his Morning Radio Show. "The Friday Show", hosted by Jon Hein, Gary Dell'Abate and Ralph Cirella, aired live on those Fridays when Howard's show was not on the air, although it has since been replaced by "Master Tape Theatre", replays of selected pre-Sirius Stern Shows.

Various callers congratulated Stern on his new venture, although he reiterated that the broadcast was nothing more than a test designed to give users a sneak peek, and not an actual show.

Goodbye to terrestrial radio

Howard 100 Logo

Howard's last show on conventional AM/FM "terrestrial" radio was on December 16, 2005. The studio segment of the show ended when the Stern staff each gave a final farewell, then walked to a stage on the streets of New York City below K-Rock, simulcast live accompanied by video on the Internet through Yahoo!. Several thousand fans attended the event. Stern was the last to leave the studio. On the stage, many members of the show's "Wack Pack" gave speeches and Staind performed. Speeches were given by each member of the show: Gary, Artie, Fred, Robin, and finally Howard, who frequently referred to himself and his fans as "the last of a dying breed." During his speech, Stern thanked the NYPD and dedicated the show to Sergeant Keith Manning, a friend of the show who at the time was serving in Iraq. Stern was then bussed to the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square, where Martha Stewart (who also has her own Sirius talk channel) was on hand to induct Howard Stern into the Sirius family. Much of the show took place at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York City where Sheryl Crow performed and mentioned on stage the debt America and musicians should pay towards Stern.

True to the last broadcast, many of Stern's final statements were edited out on the radio and even on the Yahoo! Internet broadcast. These statements largely pertained to Stern's animosity towards Clear Channel and the future at Sirius. As a response to Stern leaving FM radio, many of the radio stations under ownership of CBS Radio, including K-Rock in New York, changed their format from music to a hot talk format. Select stations were rebranded "Free FM". Stern's flagship station changed its name from 92.3 K-Rock to 92.3 Free FM. Stern himself was a harsh critic of the "Free FM" format in his last days on terrestrial radio, arguing that the name was a joke due to continued FCC and industry censorship.

Eight months following the changeover to satellite radio, AdAge reported that advertising revenue from Stern's show is a third of what his terrestrial radio show commanded for a live read spot.^[17] Analysts partially attributed this to the lack of measurable listener data Sirius makes available for its individual channels, but also due to the smaller satellite audience when compared with Stern's previous terrestrial broadcasts.

The Sirius show

Stern in his element: behind a microphone.

The Howard Stern Show debuted on Sirius, on January 9, 2006. The "Howard 100 Heartbeat" broke away to "Also Sprach Zarathustra" tunefully performed with flatulence. Howard's theme music, "Great American Nightmare," played a few bars before George Takei introduced himself as the show's new announcer.

During the show, Stern revealed that there were 180,000 Sirius receivers activated the day before his inaugural broadcast. He also revealed that he was not married, squashing rumors which appeared (and he happily fed) during his hiatus. One of his first radio acts on Sirius included the playing of Pat O'Brien's sex tapes uncensored and his uncensored versions of parody songs using the sex tape.

To dispel the notion that the move to Sirius would unleash a wave of cursing and vulgar language, Stern placed a gag order on himself and other members of his staff. Sal the Stockbroker and Ronnie the Limo Driver were especially singled out for excessive cursing and were forbidden to curse. Although Stern has the occasional guest slip up, such as when Alexis Stewart recalled a friend describing her as "cunty," he has been conscious of not overdoing it. However, he has given Artie Lange carte blanche to use whatever language he wants, stating that "when Artie curses, it's funny."

Initially, Sirius Canada chose not to carry Stern because of the possibility of a future issue with the CRTC. Josef Radomski, a Canadian writer, announced on the January 11, 2006 show that he has started an online petition to bring Stern to Sirius Canada. On February 1, 2006, Sirius Canada announced that they would start airing Howard 100 starting February 6.^[18] On Stern's first day on Sirius Canada a caller claiming to be Stephen Harper, the Prime Minister designate who was sworn in as Prime Minister that same day, welcomed Stern back to the Canadian airwaves.

Radio controversies

Terrestrial radio return controversy

In May 2006, Stern said that he had received offers from three major terrestrial radio companies to return. Stern said that while he would not return "It would be cool to go back and kick their [CBS] asses." None of the companies involved were named or came forward.

Media organizations announced that he was thinking of returning to terrestrial radio and to clear up the rumors Stern called Associated Press on-air on May 10, 2006.
