Why would he pretend? If he wanted to lie about his TV habits I don't think he would readily admit to watching gay poo poo like Dancing With The Stars and The Bachelor.

edit: he does watch some cool stuff like The Wire but this is years later on DVD

Pretending he doesn't know about something is a standard Howard tactic. For example, on those rare occasions when a critical caller gets through, his response will be "what is this person trying to say Robin? Get off my phone!" before hanging up.

As bad as the show has been lately, Stern still has his interview skills. He really hit it out of the park with the Billy Corgan interview this morning. Good stuff!

My only beef was the song he requested... I could think of about 20 songs that I'd rather hear first.

I think he gets paid by Howard for his stuff actually, but yeah, walking around with a dat recorder for Howard when you don't actually work for him is kind of silly. Does he publish anything anywhere else? Those type of stuttering john interviews are easy because you really don't have to write much, just have access to mentally challenged people, which at conventions (which I cover a lot) that is just too easy. I find myself holding back a lot of material just because you are really, really, really, just being mean to people at that point with little pay off besides "Ha ha, you enjoy something".

But still, I crack up every time somebody in a mask starts talking.

So, the show is obviously getting paid to have her on at this point, right? There's no other justifiable explanation. She's not entertaining in the slightest, but three times in a matter of months is bizarre.

Yeah I assume Vivid's deep pockets are behind this one. Just wait until we have the Ocotomom Best Of during Christmas vacation.

Honestly, they book guests like my physical therapist. As I'm leaving my session they whip out the appointment book and sign me up for next month.

The Ted talk (heyoooo) was obviously (to me) part of the deal to get Mark Whalberg into the studio.

I'm more concerned with what's up with Robin. After the ominous "we should discuss what we can discuss" conversation last week, and the fact that Robin's been out for nearly three weeks now has me convinced that it's cancer.

And as loud and wrong as she often is, I loving love Robin, and wouldn't want there to be a show without her.

I truly hope Robin recovers completely and lives a long life. Having said that, if she were to die I hope we find out she knew about the illness long ago and avoided going to a real doctor in favor of having Mike & Ikes and cookies rubbed all over her body. That would be pretty funny.

See, just the thought of Robin dying makes me incredibly sad. I don't get sad over celebrity deaths, but I've been listening to her crazy poo poo nonstop for over 20 years now.
The best case is she knew about it, tried treating it with mike and ikes, but survives thanks to modern medicine, and then we can listen to everyone spend the rest of their career mocking her for it.

Hypothetically if Robin were to die, do you think they would just end the show or would Sirius hold Howard to his contract and find a replacement for her? The show took a huge hit when Artie left, and if Robin goes then it's pretty much a dead show.

Then again, maybe Howard would go completely mental and it would be awesome.

In the past, Howard has said he wouldn't continue the show if Robin died. But if it actually happened, I'm sure he'd find a way to run out the clock on his contract.

I suspect he'd just fill his channels with "best of" and Black On Black until his contract ran out.
He always talks the talk, but I actually believe him when he says he wouldn't do the show without Robin.

Though part of me would love for Joan Rivers to sit in. I'm in the small minority that really loves her appearances. She brings a lot of life into the studio and you can tell Howard really respects her. (Plus she's crazy like Robin)

Wasn't Black on Black cancelled over money issues at one point? I'm behind on the shows, but right now I'm listening to John the Stutterer argue over his pay from last week.

I know the Wack Pack has a long history of shakedowns, but it's really scummy the way Howard tries to act like they should work for free and then thank him for it.

They're a big part of the show, the fans love them, they bring them in studio all the time for bits, but when it comes to paying them (especially for a full one hour show) suddenly they're "just callers". I mean they shouldn't get paid just for calling in, but come on.
