There was another one that made it the full day, I think. Wasn't it a $25K prize? That's a lot of dough for one day, sometimes twice what some make in a year.

Yeah, it was 20 grand. I can only find information about the girl who quit after 6 hours, so there might have been another contestant.

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
I might be mistaken but I swore this one made it through the whole day. I seem to remember her being Latino(I think?) and watching her have to suffer inside his apartment and sleep next to that monster.

poo poo, she should've gotten half a mil easy for even going anywhere near that bed. I bet his apartment makes most episodes of "Hoarders" look like dream homes.

Yep, that was it, she was handcuffed to Jeff. Not quite as bad as Eric but still no picnic.

Eric isn't rich enough to hoard. If I remember right it mostly just reeks of cat piss and poo poo but is otherwise sparsely furnished.

The howard tv special on that handcuffed to Jeff the Drunk contest was so drat heart breaking. That poor woman, she was a god drat saint to that poo poo heel.

I love Jeff on the show (when they pick on him mainly) but man, is he an entitled baby living in a fantasy world. The whack pack is just a collection of sad people now that nobody actually does funny things with them. At least before you had some jokes, not it just seems like Howard is putting them all through therapy or rehab on air.

It was a two flusher.... click click. Jeff still making those click noises? He sounds like he is heavily medicated now and talks in slow motion, no more pep in his cowboy hat.

I found this amusing, because Howard certainly hasn't made a career out of judging things before seeing them. :)

http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/tv/howard-stern-says-its-absurd-to-criticize-him-on-americas-got-talent-before-hes-been-on/2012/05/10/gIQAU7QAGU_story.html posted:

New “America’s Got Talent” judge Howard Stern says that his critics should watch before attacking him.

Stern debuts Monday as Piers Morgan’s replacement on NBC’s summertime talent show. Yet a group that calls attention to bad language and risqué content on television has already written to advertisers asking them to stay away. The Parents Television Council said the radio shock jock’s addition “will likely result in a sharp increase in explicit content.”

In an hour-long, expletive-free news conference on Thursday, Stern dismissed those concerns and said that he fully understands that “America’s Got Talent” is a family show.

“I really feel a responsibility to the people who love this show already,” Stern said. “In no way do I want to get in the way of it. I want to broaden it and make it better.”

Stern said his critics “are entitled to their opinion. They just sound awfully foolish when they haven’t seen the show.”

The weirdest thing about that whole thing was that she said she wanted to use the money on her husband who had some kind of illness. Then, when E! catch up with her a few months later, she bought a bunch of clothes and a new dining room table or something and her husband was nowhere to be seen.

Sounds about right for somebody who would agree to be handcuffed to Jeff the Drunk for a weekend. At least she didn't buy 10,000 lotto tickets.

Jeff teared up at the end of that week, in studio (after the cuffs were taken off.) Probably the longest time he's had some sort of companionship (even though it was forced, including making GBS threads.)

This is also the source of some fantastic "Howard the computer expert" talk. I believe the software he uses is "Colorworks", and he creates a bitmap of a dragon loving Sally Jesse Raphael's skull, or something like that.

Did anyone listen to one word that Jean-Claude Van Damme had to say today?

The interview was excruciating and van Damme deserves universal condemnation for his lengthy on-air defense of Chechnya's extravagantly corrupt and repressive President, Ramzan Kadyrov. van Damme basically said,"Hey, maybe he had to kill a few people in the beginning, because they were all killing each other and they wouldn't listen to reason." Meanwhile, read Kadyrov's Wikipedia entry, which van Damme apparently couldn't be bothered to do, probably because Kadyrov treated him like a superstar instead of the joke that he is.

As Howard pointed out, Kadyrov is basically the real-life version of Sacha Baron Cohen's "The Dictator", except it's not so funny in real life.

If only Hell actually existed; I'm sure there's a special place there for celebrities who act as apologists for brutal dictators. van Damme could hobnob there for eternity with Charles Lindbergh.

I grew up in the DC/Baltimore area and all my friends worshiped him. I never got it. Even at that age I never found him funny. (I was more a Don and Mike fan) In fact, I distinctly remember my college roommate being totally psyched for his return to DC in the late 90s. Howard and Fred's impressions of him are loving hysterical.

I wonder who will be the last Stern show staffer standing.

I've always imagined Howard being a million years old, 5th trophy wife at his side, she probably doesn't even speak english, and he will be alone in a tower on the moon and he will finally just die and in the background you hear a gentle

"heee heeeeee" as the jokeman finally goes after him, never giving up the last laugh.

Everybody in the office other than Howard weighs 300 pounds and eats McDonalds for lunch every day, I think that's a safe bet.

I doubt he makes it to the moon though. You think Mrs. Armstrong is a good mother? Feh! I'd never let my son go to the moon!

Fred's probably in the best shape of the major staffers and seems like just the kind of guy who will hit 90 without even a scare in the hospital.
