Howard killed it on Letterman, too bad we don't get that kind of energy on the show.

To be fair, it was the same stories he tells on the show just with more energy.

Wasn't very impressed.

The dude is the most honest person on any television show basically. If everyone went onto Late Night with the lucidity of Stern maybe it wouldn't be such an rear end kissing fest with no content.

I understand the show sucks lately and the guy has a massive amount of internal problems but he never fails to entertain when he's on TV.

Man, you people are difficult to impress. It's not like I'm in side-splitting laughter the entire time I'm listening to the show, but it definitely makes me smile and brings my mood up every time I get in the car. I am super grateful he extended the contract another 5 years, because I was sorta/kinda getting into panic mode thinking about having no Howard in the morning.

Also, I don't have any issues with Jon Hein at all. Benjy is the one that gives me douche chills like nothing else on this goddamned Earth.

I'm the same way. I bet everyone in this thread listens to all 4 hours of the show every day, and we're goons and Stern fans, so we complain because we love.

It's kind of a requirement for Howard Stern fans to complain about the show. It's just the type of attitude the show brings out in it's fans. Howard complains about everything, isn't it natural for us to complain about him?

I still enjoy the show like you, I don't know what I'd do without him on the radio.

The bitching seems more apparent because when Artie was in studio they would routinely go off into hilarious tangents. Artie Lange was a lovely comedian, but he perfect for his job in studio and to say the show hasn't taken a direct hit since his departure isn't honest.

Well, when Artie was on the show a poo poo load of people would just focus their complaints on him. Being a junkie that earns a lot of money makes him an easy target. He was Charlie Sheen before Charlie Sheen.

Edit: poo poo, I forgot about all the hookers Sheen used to get busted with. Man, this guy is a loving nut.

Ya but this is Stern. Even if all he has to do is make or have someone else make a phone call to Twitter, thats going to be enough for him to say "gently caress it"

Yeah I bitched about Artie and his constant lying. Ultimately I'm glad he's getting help, as he was long overdue for it.

I guess for a while you could do it some sort of automated way, but now according to their help section:
"How do I get my account verified?

This program is currently closed to the public. If you would like to send feedback, contact us via this form."

The from is just a generic contact us form.

Spice was talking about it on Bubba the other day and said he looked into doing it for the shows twitter and you have to jump through a few hoops. However, I am sure it would be easier for Howard than Bubba.

I thought I remembered Gary saying he never even did anything, and it just showed up, so it must be an arbitrary thing. And I do agree it will be a no-brainer for Howard.

That's true. I have my complaints about the show at times, but the good far outweighs the bad for me. I would assume that pretty much everybody in this thread would say the same, or else they probably wouldn't be listening to it.

Add me in as another one who thought the Letterman appearance was actually pretty good, if Howard was like that on his show these days I'd have a lot less to complain about. (But, come on, I'd still complain, it's what we do)

You know how we are ALWAYS talking about Howard's lovely taste in music? I was at a pep rally at an elementary/middle school the other day, when a song started blaring out over the loudspeaker and the kids went loving apeshit. They were dancing and losing their loving minds because they were so excited to hear this song.

So as I am listening to it, I realize it sounds vaguely familiar, but I can't place it. At the exact same moment I realized: "Oh hey! Howard went through a stage where he was playing this song" and then, "WTF...this is "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus."

Definitive proof that Howard has the taste of a middle school/elementary school girl.

I wonder if he even knows how to quite yet? It's not the easiest thing to figure out how to find people on there. I'm more well-schooled than the average person who uses Twitter and even I get confused.
