Official Howard Stern Show discussion thread

[jackisback24]

Shit, if they aren't going to fill the Artie chair with someone, they might as well fill it with Shuli. Whenever he's in studio I find myself laughing. He's really quick on his feet too, which is what you need in that chair. I know Howard said it once on the air, but I wish he'd follow through. SHULI FOR THE ARTIE CHAIR!

Where did Shuli come from? I just remember him as a caller on the WXRK show begging for a job on Sirius. Was kinda surprised he got an on-air job because I think he was just a caller asking for a job. Didn't know much about him before that.

[hbktonyb]

I'll pretend I never read that post, Steve

No thanks, dude is annoying as hell. Shalom bitch, ghey.

The Doug Goodstein feud was kinda funny as was the Artie "Hack Pack" stuff.

[javierm27]

The Doug Goodstein feud was kinda funny as was the Artie "Hack Pack" stuff.

I don't know he just annoys me. I like Jim Breuer. But I don't think they will put anyone in that chair, at least until Howard figures out his contract situation.

[CrashDMB237]

Shuli is fucking hilarious. Listen to some of the roasts, he destroys people. There were a few segments on the Best Of thing this past week where he sat in and he was great. Did anyone listen this morning? More praise from Howard and the callers loved him too. If they aren't going to get someone new like Breuer or Carolla... put Shuli in there.

[hbktonyb]

Shuli is terrible, and I don't care about him or his life at all. And that airplane story was such bullshit.

[CrashDMB237]

All I know is I haven't been laughing at the Stern show lately at all. Shuli came in yesterday and I laughed. Even if he made it up, its funnier than anything they've been doing.

[javierm27]

I could listen to Howard rip on Baba Booey all day. I love it.

But if Howard really is going to not re-up (which I still think is the case), at this point with so little time left is there really a point to making someone officially fill the chair?

[hbktonyb]

I could listen to Howard rip on Baba Booey all day. I love it.

Me too, by far my favorite part of any show.

I loved yesterday when he was ripping Booey, and Booey wasn't responding. Howard goes "If you notice Gary is not responding, he is trying to cover those huge chicklets with those massive lips and gums, but they aren't fitting. His teeth are peaking out" :lol

I was dying

Howard has been awesome with the Booey ripping this week. Its been great, I can't wait until the book comes out.

[hbktonyb]

When that book comes out he may spend a whole show on reading Booey passages in the voice he does for him :lol

[junior94]

I'm thinking Gary would really be a pretty cool boss to have.

[jackisback24]

Fitzsimmons and Gary are loving all this attention to their books and should thank Howard for it. I won't buy Fitz but will Gary.

That KC call in and challenge to Grillo was so staged, like right out of WWE. It just seemed so contrived.

I was thinking of current or recent Stern cast members and who they replaced and it seems that the replacements added so much more.

Richard Christy > KC Armstrong. KC had some funny moments, but Christy has produced better stuff (audio book cut ups, phony phone calls) and his conversations with his hick father have been priceless.

Artie > Jackie. Jackie may have been a better writer, and that laugh of his did crack me up at times, but Artie was just funnier and a better personality for the show.

Sal > Grillo. Same with Christy, Grillo had a few funny moments with the show but Sal has added so much more with the wife stories and such.

Stuttering John > Gary Garver. Garver could never top the original. SJ, while a dummy, was a legend in that role.

Steve Langford > Old bastard. I forget the guy's name that did the news on Sirius for Stern (not Ralph Howard) but Gary chastised the guy on the air about not caring for the Howard show much. He was soon gone.

Penny Crone > Lisa G. Sorry, but Crone was a better personality and great for the news, although I don't know if they started at the same time or not.

Agreed with all this.

[HoldemHart]

Really sounds like he's leaving Sirius.

[Joruus]

Really sounds like he's leaving Sirius.

I missed the explanation. What was it?

[HoldemHart]

He had a meeting yesterday and from all indications it didn't go well. He did hint that he'd still be doing the show and quite possibly it could be in a cheaper medium.

[hbktonyb]

Podcast willy?

[HoldemHart]

Podcast willy?

He seems to be hinting at that more and more.

[CrashDMB237]

Podcast would be extremely lame. That eliminates having callers. If he's not going to do it the right way, just hang it up. The show is getting extremely boring as it is, don't take away one of the better elements of it.

[javierm27]

I love how Benjy still gets upset about Steve reporting his age.

I dont agree that the show is boring, I still enjoy listening to it. But I don't know how well I would follow him if he does a podcast. He doesn't take that many callers as it is anyways, so that doesn't bother me. The callers he normally takes are the wackpackers for the most part so I don't think that would change since they can call them. But it will be interesting to see what ends up happening.

You guys both make good points. I wonder if he'd do an app that streamed the show live.

Well as I've primarily followed it since the move via dl'ing HTV episodes, I wonder if the video side of it would continue in a more scaled down operation.


I love how Benjy still gets upset about Steve reporting his age.


Please, Benjy has an extreme reaction to a situation, which he will always do no matter what it is, to keep trying to get attention.
I've always loathed Ralph, like really bad, but I so despise Benjy in comparison it makes my hate for Ralph look like love. :lol

[hbktonyb]

He would figure out a way to stream it live. Then also offer it as downloadable content. But I don't think Howard wants to do this.

Howard wants the security of a company that pays him and his staff. He doesn't want to be responsible for paying his staff based on the number of subscribers he gets to his podcast willy...IMO

[jackisback24]

From what I got listening today, it seems Stern wants to do 3 days and Sirius may be balking. I think it's 2 fold on Stern's part: He really is tired and wants to enjoy more time w/Beth in the Hamptons, thus probably wants Monday and Friday off with a 5 hour show from maybe 8am-1pm Tue-Thur. The other is he sees the writing on the wall and knows he won't get a raise, so by going to 3 days at the same salary, in essesence it's like getting a raise. He keeps the same salary for less days. Of course Sirius is balking. I can deal with Best Of if it's either recent content or really funny stuff (legendary stuff like Axl and Sabastian calling in, etc). But not lame stuff from 1991 that doesn't play well today.

It will be interesting. If he goes to 3 days and Sirius raises the rate to like $15 or $20 per month (which they may to recoup losses, which is probably why they're balking at 3 days and need him for 4 days to justify increases), I think I may pass. Some of the better shows are on youtube in 2 days after original air date anyway.

I also think he wants summers off. I think Stern wants a 7-11 show Tues - Thurs, summers off, plus a few vacations throughout the year, for the same salary. Sirius doesn't want to pay him, but they are in a bind because they know they will lose many subscribers if he leaves (me being one). I like some of the other content, but I subscribe strictly for Howard. Howard is also in a bind, because he wants the security of company to pay him and his staff, where he doesn't have to count on the number of subscribers. He knows if he goes the podcast willy route, he may lose a lot of his staff. It is very interesting that Howard said he would still sign on for 5 years.

Mel and Howard do have a good relationship, so I can see them trying to work something out, but the numbers just may not match up for Sirius or Howard. For me, I would pay for whatever service Howard goes to for 3 days a week. I need a Howard fix.

[jackisback24]

My definition of the Seinfeld interview:

an·ti·cli·max


–noun 1. an event, conclusion, statement, etc., that is far less important, powerful, or striking than expected.

So... suddenly paying even a higher rate than you do now for getting even less show than you do now?

Am I the only one seeing the fault in that logic? Who the hell would pay more to get less?

I say "I may pass" afterwards. Seems clear to me.

Forgive me, I wasn't posing that question directly to you, just a general inquiry.

[junior94]

Well and I'm sure there are more fans out there like you, it just seems kind of ridiculous to me. I mean if Comcast says to me, okay we're reducing your overall channel selection by half, but your monthly bill will be double it's present amount, I'd laugh at them. It seems crazy to ask that of people.

you're forgiven.:lol

Yeah, the logic is screwy but I honestly think Stern pulled a fast one by getting Friday's off anyways and I wonder if Sirius was aware of that. I mean, if you remember, we got 5 days a week when Sirius started with Stern and then suddenly he took Fridays off in the summer. Then it became a 4 day show because "Robin went long with the news" even though the show was longer on K-rock (not to mention free and 5 days a week. BTW, I never got that "not to mention" expression because clearly I mentioned it, but I digress). Anyways, yeah, now they want 3 days a week for probably an increase. I got upset when they charged for internet access after having it free and now they're grabbing pennies anywhere the can. How about have Stern do 4 days, let him do the hours he wants as long as it's a 5 hour show and fresh content, get rid of Mad Dog and some others and use that cash to pay Stern for a raise?

Well and correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't one of the biggest selling points that Howard would crow about in the last days of KROCK after the deal was set that on the Sirius show there'd be absolutely no commercials?

[jackisback24]

I thought so too and remember Chauncy Hayden getting in trouble because he said so too and that is why he was banned from the show. It was ambiguous at best, but I thought there would be no commercials.

Honky, did Earl hit the Jersey shore?

[FunkyTeaParty]

No sign of Earl in NJ. It's actually beautiful out right now.

I will follow Howard anywhere, but I am becoming more and more devoted to Carolla.

The difference is that Comcast sucks and you can use other cable providers you like more, especially if they choose to do that (which woudn't surprise me if they did, those rat bastards).

Howard Stern is a single entity that entertains people better than anyone else on the radio (opinion, but it's mine gosh darn it, and I am willing to pay whatever it takes when I find out what the deal is on where he is going.)

[jackisback24]

Not funny to me. Least funniest on Crank Yankers. I'd take Tracy Morgan, Silverman, Nealon and a bunch others over that Pete Sampras with Down Syndrome dude (I think that was a Colin Quinn line).

[jackisback24]

does anyone have an audio link of Stern's rant on Fitzsimmons where he went off on him, including playing clips from Greg's show where he thought Howard wouldn't mind? I heard some of it and it was compelling radio, but had to go somewhere and couldn't hear the whole thing.

[BotheDMBFan]

Carolla's radio show is good when I get the chance to listen to it. Didn't Richard Belzer used to do stuff on Crank Yankers? (I seldom watched it, but for some reason, I remember him doing some stuff on there. Shorties Makin' Shorties too.)

[jackisback24]

it's funny reading this because all week on his show he's said that he's staying with Sirius. Sounds like a negotiation move.

http://news-briefs.ew.com/2010/09/03/howard-stern-sirius-xm/

It is ridiculous, but I like Howard so much that I would follow him. But the thinking behind it is dumb as hell.

It's not even that I necessarily dislike Beth, but just, for what this show's supposed to be, ya know "the greatest thing in entertainment" or whatever bullshit you wanna say, he's had his own wife on a bit too much recently for my tastes. I mean like a solid half hour on Wednesday? are you serious?

[junior94]

And btw I'm watching the HTV episode now of when Seinfeld called in on 8/30, wow I didn't realize that he said he was definitely continuing on doing some kind of radio, it was only a question left if it would be at Sirius and in what manner/schedule/etc. I'd thought it was still open that he might fully retire and that's that, but interesting to know at least he'll still be guaranteed to be heard SOMEWHERE.

[javierm27]

I don't blame Howard for trying to get as much as he can from Sirius. Its a joke what they have paid Oprah and Eminem for their name. I hope they don't screw this up though, I would hate to see him leave.

[hbktonyb]

I really think he'll stay. Mel loves him and he does not want to build a new studio.

[javierm27]

I really think he'll stay. Mel loves him and he does not want to build a new studio.

Holy shit, BREAKING NEWS...Artie ready to speak!

Gary said he spoke to Artie and he is ready to come in and tell his story, and Robin quickly says "Howard are you sure you want to do that"...what a FAT FUCKIN CUNT. I wish Howard would dump her cunt ass once and for all and find someone who is not worried about her precious airtime. She is so boring.

Then Fred has to chime in "Are you sure he is ready"...The old Howard would have had him in immediately.

It is so good to hear he may be well enough to actually leave his house!

Wow. That may be the one show to tune in at 6am to see how it goes. Howard obviously has to clear it through Sabean and so forth. If you remember, after the Teddy fight, Artie had to meet with various people before he could return to the show, including Sirius execs. I'm sure a waiver or paperwork would have to be signed, unless it's over the phone. But my thinking is they wouldn't announce this on the air unless he's ready to come in.

[hbktonyb]

Yeah, it wasn't really an announcement, it was more like "So Gary spoke with Artie and he feels he is ready to come in to tell his story. Robin what do you think?"...But I don't think Howard would mention it unless he wants him back in the studio. I just can't believe how much of a cunt Robin is. I think it is possible that they will build this up and maybe Artie will return on the first show of the new year, either at Sirius or elsewhere.

I'm wondering a few things...if he comes in - Does he sit on the guest couch or in his chair? Does security frisk him? And if it goes well, would he or the show ever consider him as part of the show again?

I hope the answer is yes to the last question.

Howard and execs would probably meet with Artie, his agent and Artie's family to hash a lot of shit out. I know Howard likes to hear stuff fresh on the air, but this is different. Artie would have to go through a lot of channels to just guest for a day, let alone come back to the show.

It would be a really shit move to use Artie's personal tragedy to use as a cliffhanger, but sadly I can see that happening. I can see Artie coming on at the end of the year and spilling his guts, and ready to come back on. Howard knows he needs him to keep the show going, especially if it's going to be 3 days away.

I honestly hope Artie is in a good place right now. I think that's most important and hopefully he's in that tranquil place right now.

[hbktonyb]

After two hours on the air this morning, Howard Stern made a revelation on his show on SiriusXM Satellite radio. Longtime show producer Gary “Baba Booey” Dell’Abate had spoken to Artie Lange over the phone and Artie let him know that he wanted to come into the studio to tell the Stern Show crew, as well as the fans, the full details of his failed suicide attempt from December 2009.

It was no secret that Artie had been battling a heroin addiction and his own personal demons for years, but it all came to a head when he stabbed himself nine times at the end of last year. His mother found him unconscious in his apartment and luckily, he was given the medical attention he needed to recover… at least physically.

Upon reporting this news to his listeners, Stern was unsure if having Artie in the studio was a good idea or not. His immediate concern was that Artie was not mentally healthy enough yet to divulge the full details of his ordeal and the following recovery. Sidekick Robin Quivers reluctantly agreed with Howard, although they both inferred that they would love to see him again.

At least we finally have some new information regarding Artie… he is healthy enough to be able to come into the studio. Previously, the updates we were given on the show were few and far between.

Stay tuned for more details.

[jackisback24]

did they talk more about it on the Wrap Up Show?

[javierm27]

Holy shit, BREAKING NEWS...Artie ready to speak!

Gary said he spoke to Artie and he is ready to come in and tell his story, and Robin quickly says "Howard are you sure you want to do that"...what a FAT FUCKIN CUNT.

It is so good to hear he may be well enough to actually leave his house!

So happy to hear this! More than anything I am just glad to hear Artie is feeling that much better. Hopefully they work things out and are able to get him back on. I miss the baby gorilla.

The replay just started so I am listening to the show right now.

[FunkyTeaParty]

I for some reason don't think Artie will ever come back full time.

While I don't think the show is the cause of Artie's issues by any means I do think it exacerbates his problems.

I think the only person that can make the decision as to whether or not Artie is ready is ARTIE. Not that he has always made the best decisions for himself, but I'd like to think he has some sort of clarity now and somewhat of a new lease on life. I don't think Artie will ever be back in the seat. I don't think he wants it and I don't think his family wants it. I can't wait to hear from him again though. Hopefully Howard doesn't put the kibosh on it before they even talk to Artie.

[javierm27]

Hopefully he's able to come back to the chair but even if he's not, I am just glad to hear that he is feeling better.

[javierm27]

Hmm, Howard mentioned Howard Radio and how it would cost more than $5.99 a month. It's more than what Sirius online costs, but in my opinion it would be worth it.

[hbktonyb]

Artie won't be back full time, but it would be so great to hear that he is doing better. In the future, you never know what could happen. Maybe if Gary and Howard keep in contact with him and really see a difference, they will let him come back. If he is feeling better, I can see him wanting to come back, especially with Howard taking summers off and 3 days a week, plus a later schedule!

What's up with Scott Ferrall? Bitter much?

Yea I dunno what that was. Scott is a great great dude. I did his show twice a week when I wasn't doing Stern and he was extremely gracious. I was on the air anytime I was in the studio and he let me coordinate with guests which was pretty cool. I still talk to him about once a month just to catch up. He's known to get caught up in the moment. That's some of the best parts of his sports rants.

Holy shit, BREAKING NEWS...Artie ready to speak!

Gary said he spoke to Artie and he is ready to come in and tell his story, and Robin quickly says "Howard are you sure you want to do that"...what a FAT FUCKIN CUNT. I wish Howard would dump her cunt ass once and for all and find someone who is not worried about her precious airtime. She is so boring.

Then Fred has to chime in "Are you sure he is ready"...The old Howard would have had him in immediately.

It is so good to hear he may be well enough to actually leave his house!


While you know that I can't stand Robin just as much as you, and while her particular reasons for that saying that might've been selfish, looking at the notion just on its own I can't necessarily say that I disagree with it. The idea of having Artie back in to talk should not be taken lightly, all things considered.

[junior94]

Honky, off topic but I think I'm going to the DMB MSG 11/13 show as it's two days before my birthday, I've never been to MSG and I can crash at my mother in laws apt. What time if I take the train from CT (Bridgeport area) should I get into the city and where exactly is MSG? What is the curfew for a Saturday night? I still can't believe that WH members still have to pay all sorts of fees even if you're a member for tix. Ridiculous.

You'll take the Metro North, it will take about 85 minutes or so from Bport. Once you get there, the easiest thing to do would be to take a cab to MSG. MSG is on 33rd st. and the Metro takes you to 42nd. You could also walk to MSG, will take you about 20 minutes.

Don't remember there being a strict curfew at MSG, as I've seen many concerts go past 11:00.

Tracy was good, but not as good as the other two.

[junior94]

Having now watched the segment of the Russian Speed Dating game, the initial follow up discussion and then Howard later having Steve Brandanno in the studio to rip him a new asshole, I'm really just blown away by how clueless Howard could be at this point. Or, that he's not really clueless, he's aware of reality but just too vein to say it.


Alright well the whole "it's rigged" thing, yea I don't know where that came from, and I don't agree with it in the least. I firmly believe Howard has never rigged anything like that in the history of his show. I have no issue believing these girls genuinely didn't know who Howard was and all that. But him getting picked by the 2nd girl, holy shit Howard wake the fuck up. Steve was exactly right on this. You go back and watch the segment, by the time all 4 guys had presented themselves and she was going over her initial reactions on them, it seemed clear they were essentially all even in her mind, as far as general appearance, their attitude and personality, etc. But then pressed to FINALLY pick one, AFTER she kept yammering on and on, yea it was pretty much "I pick you the tallest one, because I like tall men". There was nothing Howard did really that separated him from the other 3 in terms of any other factors except for height. She ultimately picked him because he's a damn beanpole. :lol


And yea she was pretty hot, but she was a fucking nightmare! She wouldn't shut up, I mean how many times did they have to rein her in to finally make her choice, AND make it be from only one of the 4 guys she just met, and not of any single men she preferred in all of NY :rolleyes:lol

Even Will was right about her "secondary" choices. It was nothing more than she pretty much just went right down the line from left to right. I guarantee you if they were standing in a different order, THATS how she would've picked. Now of course, when she was accused of doing just that by Will, she's suddenly all about how no, it was because she liked this other guy better or whatever bullshit. But no, you listen to the thing (and it's even clearer when you watch it) she was going left to right, that's it.

[javierm27]

I love Howard going off on Benji, he wont fire him though.

[jackisback24]

My truck is being fixed so I missed all the shows this week. I'm sure Dax is a nice enough guy, and I remember him as an extra on Punked on MTV, but yeah, the fact that he's on a primetime TV show, let alone nailing Kristen Bell is :ugh x 10. It's the Jaime Kennedy syndrome. Bad comedian somehow gets on a popular TV show and then nails a pretty girl. Brad Pitt and these other guys, okay, you kinda get it, but these putzes who marry who bang hot girls.....:BANG

[junior94]

I love Howard going off on Benji, he wont fire him though.


I've said this before, Benjy could take a shit on Howard's console during a broadcast, and he still wouldn't fire him. And Benjy knows it.


Though, ya know I bet a psychoanalyst could present the argument that Howard's actually displaying some narcissism in his behavior here. Because, alright no matter how much Benjy fucks up, Howard still won't fire him because he can't deal with the guilt he knows he'll feel for firing him, like he's fucking up Benjy's life. But I'm think a shrink could say that technically Howard's a narcissist because to be feeling that guilt, on some level he must feel that he's the only one who can possibly help Benjy as far as allowing him to have a real career.

[jackisback24]

I just read the Dax interview on Marks Friggin and how is it that no one asked Dax how was it working with Whitney Cummings on Punked and if they banged? I don't get it? Doesn't Will or Benji do research????

This Benjy stuff just blows me away. God I can't stand him, I mean literally every breath out of his body is some kind of performance. It's like what they used to say about Peter Sellers, there is no "real him", he's always doing his character. Except the difference here is Benjy isn't talented or funny.
And even to find out this major lateness was even a problem for Benjy way back in the KROCK days, and they're still going thru this, it's beyond insanity.

I don't get it either man. I think maybe its the guilt he has. Did you hear on the News Update that Howard APOLOGIZED to Benjy for going off on him during the show? I couldn't believe it. If anything Benjy is the one that needs to apologize for what he does. I have grown to hate him.

Okay then ya know what, Howard 100% deserves all the grief about this. Not firing him is one thing, but then actually apologizing to him? Howard needs to start going to therapy not for one hour three times a week, but for about 3 hours a day five times a week, because this is ridiculous. There's been a nice guy boss, being a pushover, etc, but this is now insanely far beyond that.

Gary said that Shia was out on the red carpet and recognized High Pitch Mike and said he wants to come on the show. Howard played an interview that High Pitch Mike got with him and Shia said he recognized his voice. Shia said he's scared of Howard and it would be like samurai suicide if he went on the show. He said he will go on the show eventually but for now he has to stay off. Shia said he's sad that Artie isn't back too.

Just posted about this over in the actual Fringe thread, this is priceless. I went onto Fox's website to see the premiere online since I missed it last night. But lower on the page they have a menu of a bunch of shorter clips, some making of kinda stuff, some regular show clips, well the first one is obviously ETM, you can tell from the preview still, but that's literally just how it's labeled underneath, no full name just -- Eric The Midget :lol


edit - though for the record, I don't think this was the episode he was featured in.

[junior94]

I'm just now taking a look at the HTV episode where they're talking about Richard's fascination with Peter North (which, leave it to closet case Richard to have his favorite pornstar be a dude...) and holy shit has he gotten thinner!

Oh wait is that me you're talking about? The little segment I sliced out of that one Howard TV episode that I put up on here where you were on camera in the studio? Yea that sounds familiar, because I thought I remembered Ronnie also being involved somehow.
You don't happen to remember what the overall subject of the episode was, do you? Well at any rate I've got all the episodes archived on DVD and a full documentation of what's on each disc, I can have a look and dig it back up.


I might've mentioned this already here, but I think Ronnie will have among the worst transitions when the show is done. God he's just such a fucking cheeseball, he'll be next to nothing without the Stern show. I have to think so many of these strippers deep down aren't really into him much at all, and if they ARE, well I'd love to know each of their names so I can do my best to avoid them entirely the rest of my life :p
He's such a little Napolean complex spazz.

[jackisback24]

As a favor, for those of you who will be reading the Baba Booey book and may finish before others, when discussing the book can you please put discussions into "spoiler" form? I'm sure some will get their copies before others and may finish quicker, thus the spoiler function will come in handy.

Thanks.:thumbsup

Howard's rants about the bed bugs are cracking me up.

Sucks, hope he's doing better. He's one of the most consistently funny roasters around.

[jackisback24]

Indeed, Hold.

Also, heard some show over the weekend as I got my truck back and the whole Fitzsimmons stuff has jumped the shark at this point.

[hbktonyb]

Obvious that Howard is ignoring mostly everything Artie. Craig says he saw him, he looked great, did a set, etc...And Howard just says yeah well it is great to see you Craig. So weird.

maybe all that scuttlebutt with Stacey and Mom thinking that Howard contributed to Artie's problems and Howard is just trying to avoid a lawsuit or something? Or just respecting his privacy, which I can see. Or if he's done with the show, Howard trying to phase Artie out since he's still such a hot subject right now?

[hbktonyb]

Or just using it as negotiating leverage, because it will be the highest rated show in Sirius history and they can probably sell tons of advertising. Imagine a full show which includes an Artie interview and him sitting in during the news.

It will get the highest ratings in Sirius history, guaranteed.

[jackisback24]

it will reek of exploiting Artie's problems for ratings, exactly what Howard's detractors have been saying.

Am I the only one loving listening to Howard bitch about the bed bugs? There's something about it that cracks me up.

I'm REALLY bummed about this. I consider him pretty much my favorite stand up comic right now, he virtually always kills on the roasts. And his own stand up special he taped in NY in 2009, he notices a guy asleep in the third row in the middle of the show, and the way he handles it is hilarious.
He's talked a lot about how he's dealt with addiction for a long time, falling back into rehab repeatedly.


oh and that picture of recent Artie put up -- I'd just like to say looks like I was right :p I don't know if he's quite back down to Beer League weight yet, but he looks significantly thinner than he did before this happened, which is what I predicted.

Fucking hippies.

[jackisback24]

maybe I didn't read correctly but Artie actually returned to stand up? Didn't see this before.

[hbktonyb]

So damn happy to hear that. I love Artie.

[HoldemHart]

Holy shit, this Sandy Kane bitch needs to be put out of her misery.

[CrashDMB237]

Naked Cowboy lives right around where I work, I see him like once a week. He's a total douchebag. He drives a pimped out white Escalade and wears a white fur coat every day no matter how hot it is when he walks into the gym. But this Sandy Kane cunt makes him look like a saint.

The whole time is was listening to his wrap, I was thinking that this guy is so full of shit.

[hbktonyb]

Anyone think the bed bugs in the limo is a bit? I just feel like Howard would freaking the hell out.

[junior94]

It really blows my mind how Ronnie seriously can't see what the problem is, when Howard was reaming him for flirting with yet another intern and the whole nickname business. And he goes thru pretty much the same process every single time (yea I love how Ronnie complains this is like a broken record, it's because it KEEPS HAPPENING, so he makes Howard have to intervene).

But it's like, he commits the offense and Howard gets wind of it, so he calls him into the studio, where Ronnie immediately starts spouting off "What's your problem? I didn't do nothing wrong, I'm just goofing around!". And then, particularly if Howard brings the girl into the studio also, Ronnie gets embarrassed and starts simply repeating back everything Howard says.
Howard: "You're bothering this girl."

Ronnie: "Yea, okay, I'm bothering her, right."

etc, etc, etc...

And then when Howard really presses him, Ronnie overcompensates by screaming how much he doesn't really care anyway, he doesn't care to do the thing Howard is now yelling at him for or trying to take away from him, this is of course Ronnie trying to save face.


I mean you can set your watch to this stuff :lol

[jackisback24]

I read somewhere that Greg Giraldo went to Harvard Law School, graduated and was an attorney but ditched it all to become a comedian.:ugh

[HoldemHart]

Breuer vs Corolla

Who you got? I'm with Breuer, I think Corolla is painfully unfunny.

[CrashDMB237]

Breuer needs that chair BAD. I love Carolla though, he's a different type of comedy.

[hbktonyb]

Have not been impressed with Breuer the last 2 times he has been in (Pesci and today). I usually love him though, but I think the chair should remain empty because no one will be as good as Artie.

[jackisback24]

Breur is a good storyteller and he had a good appearance today. What day is Baba Booey on Letterman?

Anyone know a product that you can listen to Sirius while driving thru woods w/out interruptions? Does TSS work? He mentioned Gary Shandling. Was he funny?

[jackisback24]

Wait, there's a thread in the other forum that Giraldo died? WTF?????? Anyone hear this??? This thread should be number one in this forum and not way the fuck down. Holy shittt.

Gary the Retard's impersonation was absolutely spot on.

[HoldemHart]

John the stutterer is fantastic as well. I'm loving this bit.

The only one that didn't work for me was Mark the Bagger.

[CrashDMB237]

Awesome contest. Mark the Bagger really fucking blew, but other than that it was all spot on. I thought Gary the Retard should have won!

[nkc8246]

Ya.. I think knowledge of Rachel's other impressions tainted the voting.
I think John the stutter sounded the most spot on!

[hbktonyb]

Great contest. Only problem with it is that Rachel had it won before the contest, because of how much hype she got. Wasn't really fair. Gary the Retard and JtS were awesome.

[HoldemHart]

He was incredible, when he started yelling I thought for sure it was him.

[nkc8246]

I agree completely.

Everyone already knew Underdog Lady wasn't her only impression so basically she got Lupe' and Underdog votes.

[HoldemHart]

I agree completely.

Everyone already knew Underdog Lady wasn't her only impression so basically she got Lupe' and Underdog votes.

She was amazing though, her Tracie impression was great too. It was definitly biased but she was a deserving winner.

[neumdogg]

So I havent listened to Stern since he left radio. I just got a new car and I have Sirus for 6 months.

I have a question. I was looking at the last 2 pages of this thread. Whats this thing about Carolla and Bruer? I am a HUGE Carolla fan and I listen to his podcast everyday.

[hbktonyb]

Carolla basically told his audience how unfunny Breur is. Has something to do with having him as a guest back at loveline and Carolla basically demeaning him saying he has no idea who he is.

[neumdogg]

Ah, got it.

I know that Carolla, on many occasions, had said that he was up for Artie's seat on Stern show. Does that make sense?

[nkc8246]

She was amazing though, her Tracie impression was great too. It was definitly biased but she was a deserving winner.

I think if you consider overall talent she is for sure the correct choice.
I agree 100%.. I've posted before I think she is the female version of Sour Shoes when it comes to impressions.

I was just saying if you knew nothing about her other impressions and only compared the Underdog vs John the Stutterer ... The JTS was better IMO.

[Richard Belding]

Gilbert is awful. Yet so amazing at the same time. The most mind-boggling part of this is the fact that he's on Twitter. He has some gems on there.

[hbktonyb]

Ah, got it.

Yup, I'm pretty happy they didn't go with him. His voice annoys me.

I did like him sitting in on the news a few months ago.

[hbktonyb]

Relistening to the segment...John the Stutterer got robbed, and Gary THEEE retard should have been 2nd.

[HoldemHart]

I've had a change of heart as well......John the Stutterer should've won, he was uncanny...

[hbktonyb]

My order:

1. John the Stutterer
2. Gary THEE Retard
3. Big Foot it is
4. Underdog
5. Mark the Bagger

[Richard Belding]

Eric The Actor on Fringe right now! I am so excited you have no idea.

[hbktonyb]

Holy shit he was awesome!!

[jackisback24]

video????

[Richard Belding]

I'm sure it will be up somewhere very shortly. Ralph called in today and said he already saw the episode and that Eric was actually good and he was right, he was. I couldn't stop laughing when he reached for the money with his little claw hand and then obviously when his head blew up. Just amazing.

[junior94]

I'm watching it right now and I can't lie, it pulled me RIGHT out the episode in that moment, I just burst out laughing :lol Not to sound like I'm ripping on him, but I'm not really sure you can say he was "good" like Ralph was, he was in and out so quickly. The tiny bit where it was his coverage totally on him, his eyes were all over the place.


But was it ever talked about how exactly he got this role in the first place? Are the producers big fans of the show? Well I mean I know Abrams has been on before, but he's not really very hands on it with since the very start.

I think it's the writers who are big fans. It just kills me how he thinks he's such a big star now that he's turning down projects that aren't good enough for him. I know a lot of people hate him on the show but I just think he's fascinating.

I think he's a horrible, hateful little person, and I enjoy him on the show :lol Because I love listening to his insanity, how entitled he continually feels and shows of disrespect despite the fact that he'd literally be nothing without the show. All the back and forth about the Emmys red carpet was hilarious.


But yea christ watching the scene, he started saying "Is there any renumeration?" BARELY after the last word was out of the actor's mouth that spoke before him. It's like jesus, that doesn't sound forced at all. :rolleyes
TRY to act like you don't know what you're going to say before you say it :lol

[jackisback24]

watching a copy of HTV with Sulu in studio from a few weeks ago where he impersonates Lupe. They're listening to the Jackie interview about him leaving the show. Honky, you'd appreciate this: I'd compare Jackie leaving like the time Dennis Condrey left the Midnight Express and they brought in Stan Lane. The team was better with Lane.

[jackisback24]

watching the Benji Tracy Morgan deal now. Didn't realize they shot the whole thing. Funny so far.

Love benji vote sanjaya!

Honky, you'll have plenty of reading material this fall/winter. Foley to Baba Booey to Y2J. Dag, you studious bastard!:lol
