Yeah, those are usually bad, the Wanda Sykes stuff is just shameful too. He hasn't actually had in many porn stars, I like when he talks to them about work and all the weird stuff they get into. Those are usually interesting and every now and then we get a Little Lupe who is hilarious.

It took the staff like two years to get Seth MacFarlane on when Family Guy was huge. They finally did get him in and Howard barely asked him anything. You could tell he had no clue what to ask him about.

This Black Keys discussion reminds me of that - I pity his staff, they try to keep the show somewhat relevant to no avail. I guess Howard's been in his Hamptons bubble too long to know or care. A guy pushing 60 may not have much interest in popular culture but he could at least try to fake it for the good of the show.

I bet he was livid at the usher not letting him in even though he's Howard Stern.

And then he tried to play it off by saying "Ugh to be around all those people coughing during the movie."

Okay, I don't wanna be "that guy" in the thread but can someone PLEASE tell me the date of the show where Dee Snider was in during Robin's news, and they goofed on the Academy Awards and Steven Spielberg's black kids? I think it was 3/29/1999, but MarksFriggin (as extensive as he is) does not delve into the whole bit at all.

It was 20+ minutes long and loving hilarious. A lot of Amos & Andy imitations of what Steven's kids probably sound like.

Beth begged him to go to the new Bradley Cooper movie premiere on a Monday night and Howard agreed after seeing how important it was to her. She had a new dress, they never go out during the week, etc. They got there and Howard agreed to do the red carpet and sounded like he was being a good sport, but then they get into the theater and the person who was supposed to lead him through everything somehow got lost in the fray. The usher wouldn't let him to his seat since he didn't have a ticket and "things were starting to get nuts" around him so they just left.

As they were leaving Howard could see how disappointed Beth was and the person assigned to him rushed up asking if there was anything they could do, saying they could lead him to his seat. Howard elected to leave.

Him and Gary immediately received emails from Bradley Cooper (to Howard) and publicists (to Gary) apologizing for everything. Howard said he didn't want it to be a big deal, and had them send him a DVD.

Today's show is pretty good, opened up with insane neurotic Howard and led into lots of the "What annoys you about Howard" game.

I know Howard can be wildly out of touch but just so all sides are represented, I would give no shits about anything the Black Keys might say or play or whatever the gently caress on the show. I see that on my screen and I'm immediately clicking to another channel.

The show is weird that way. Who's the biggest star right now? Brad Pitt? Can you think of a less compelling possible Howard Stern interview? Anyone remember the Warren Beatty fiasco? And nothing, absolutely nothing, is worse than when Howard is interviewing someone he doesn't care about at all. It's death on the radio. Part of what makes the show unique is that they don't parade through every rear end in a top hat celebrity on a PR tour, and the guests are all (or mostly all) people that Howard has some interest in.

I did lol at Jon Hein pining away for Rush and Steely Dan, though.

Bigfoot junior was hilarious when it was one minute of somebody doing an impression of Bigfoot. I don't understand the point of having someone pretend to be Bigfoot or Wanda Sykes for the entire show.

Sandra Bernhard makes me wish Adam Levine was on the show again instead and he's death.

They've had similar things in the past that went well. One one occasion (long time ago), Ralph pretended to be Herve Villechaize (sp?) for most of a show, and it was pretty good. But having a pretend Bigfoot just sounds like "we want to have funny Bigfoot stuff, but we don't want to go through the trouble of getting him into the studio". :(

That will last for another year or so max at this point. Since the storm episodes, it really seems like the wall between ironic funny complaining, fake neuroses and real life and his actual mental state are getting pretty thin. He's always been self-deprecating and all that after acting full of himself, but not lately.

Bigfoot Junior's impression might not be that good, but his timing and propensity for putting the boot in on Eric was fantastic. He basically kept him off-balance the entire call; every time Eric would try to shift back to the stupid TNA thing he's doing now, it'd be a new insult about Diana DeGarmo or bedfucking or math. Eric was getting really, really pissed.

I'm listening to the show that recaps Fred's bachelor party (where he drinks insane amounts of tequila) and its completely amazing: At one point, Fred pukes on Howard's pants. Howard simply went into the bathroom, cleaned up a little and throws some shorts on. He's like "No big deal, I'm ready for round 2." Can you even imagine the shitstorm that would ensue if someone puked on Howard now? Hell, if someone sneezed on him even.

The worst interview I've heard by far was when Michael Richards was on the show years ago. He acted like he was above it all and wouldn't answer a question like a normal human. You could tell his agent or publicist made him do the interview and he had absolutely nothing to say.

I don't listen to the show anymore so I have no idea what Ether Frenzy is talking about specifically, but it's quite acceptable usage in British English to use collective singular nouns with plural verbs, i.e. "The team were losing the race." Being American and all, it irks me too, singular nouns should go with singular verbs even if the noun is collective, but yeah, it's not exactly unheard of. That being said, if it's something involving Richard, I'm pretty sure Kansas is not a part of the British Empire, so he would pretty much be incorrect if he said "the staff were." It's such a minor mistake to make, though.

The word "parents," though, is definitely not a collective noun, it's just the plural form of parent, so I'm not sure what's up with that example.

edit: haha, I was editing in something about that while you must have been replying.
