A funny thing about that list, 4 of the people on it have since gotten themselves blacklisted from being on the show! Or at least I think they fired Dan the song parody man, he hadn't been mentioned or had any material played for a long rear end time when I finally stopped listening.

I know they stopped playing most song parodies that weren't about how beautiful and desirable Robin was, so it might be that there just wasn't anything for Dan to do. Also, it wouldn't surprise me if he gets paid a lot better doing whatever he's up to now.

Bob Levy, and Dan unless I was wrong about that. I could have sworn that when they started at Sirius, Howard hired him on to do his thing full time, then they told him he couldn't work at the actual building anymore because he was either too creepy or was being lazy, and then he borrowed 10k from Artie and just slowly stopped being heard from on the show.

I thought he was living in Las Vegas and working for "Beecher's Madhouse", or whatever it was called, wrangling midgets for a comedy show. And he'd send in songs to the Stern show. But I could certainly be wildly wrong.

I am pretty sure Dan was never "banned" from the show, but he has certainly taken a back seat to the likes of Little Mikey.

It does surprise me that we havent seen some of the former Stern show regulars try to establish themselves with Nick and Artie.
Maybe Artie just wants none of it?

Dan lost his poo poo on Steve Langford and threatened him on the air after Steve did a news report about him. Dan sounded psychotic. I don't think he's been in the studio since, for good reason, but he still sends in song parodies once in a blue moon.

I used to have a full breakdown of the voting, but yeah, Richard was first, Sal was second, and Shuli was last.


Here we go (reconstructed from http://www.marksfriggin.com/news04/6-28.htm):

  1. Richard Christy 30%
  2. Sal the Stockbroker 24%
  3. Yucko the Clown 14.95%
  4. Dan the Song Parody Man 7.27%
  5. The Reverend Bob Levy 6.51%
  6. John the Stutterer 5.15%
  7. Crazy Cabbie 3.7%
  8. Chaunce Hayden 3.1%
  9. Joey Boots 2.8%
  10. Shuli 1.52%

Note: John the Stutterer officially dropped out weeks before the voting, but he still got votes.

I have no idea who got the remaining one percent.


I always thought Shuli actually had a great week, though I voted for Yucko just to see what the show would have been like with him in there every day.
Though I think we can all agree that the right guy won.

Little Mikey contributed a song to N&A, I actually forget what it was. (Falato related maybe?) Artie was hesitant to play it on the air since he didn't want to step on Howard's toes, but he ended up playing it. Hanzi calls in all the time.

I was not impressed by Shuli's week, but I think he had a week where one day was a holiday, and at least one of the guests he'd planned on cancelled at the last minute.

I voted Richard, but I would have been happy with either Yucko or Dan -- they were both funny and had great chemistry with Artie, which helped a lot. And John the Stutterer would have been the funniest thing either, except that he'd probably be dead of a heart attack in under a month.

Dan and Bob had good staff revelations because they were both about Artie.

Bob got Artie to tell the pig story for the first time, and Dan told the story about Artie paying a cabbie to drive him from Albany to Jersey and talked the driver into picking up a pizza that they split on the drive.

Yukko is like Gilbert Gottfried if he had no talent or material. I like him in short bursts, but he isn't a good comedian and a decent whack pack watch them go down in flames character.

Artie used to just torture Yucko when he came on post-divorce and all Yucko could do was call him fat and/or an addict.

His "man on the street" interviews were great -- he had good quick responses, and for some reason, the people he talked to didn't kill him. Probably the clown makeup.

I cant remember the exact show but Artie couldnt stop laughing at Yukko after he told him his costume was good luck.
It was one of those moments where Artie is having trouble breathing he is laughing so hard.

I like how in the Rolling Stone article Howard claimed that he's the happiest he has ever been in his life.

Cut to this morning where he spent the first hour freaking out that his microphone stand was going to poke out his eyes, followed by almost having a nervous breakdown because his pants were a little too tight.

All that therapy sure seems to be working.


Also, I wonder if Howard will ever realize the connection between him stopping eating meat and not being able to gain any lean muscle from his chronic workouts and crash dieting.

Howard thinks the only exercise needed is long-distance running. He won't lift weights.

Just a segment. A lady was interviewing Howard about George for a documentary on George and his internment.

Didn't Howard use to lift weights? I thought he's mentioned a few times "Pat had me lifting weights." Probably just does it irregularly whenever Pat makes him.

He used very light weights. Whenever somebody would suggest that he lift heavier weights or do anything with intensity, his "eyeball would blow out".

Howard claimed up and down that those pictures of him on the book cover and movie poster were completely untouched. :rolleye:

Is it a New York thing to say "shave down" instead of "shave" or "trim"? As in, "that's me on the movie poster; Ralph had to shave down my chest". Or "I shave down my pubic hair".
