I'm listening through old shows and I think I found Sour Shoes first appearance back in 2003. It was really bad, he came on as his real name "Mike" and did an ELO song. Howard asked if he was mentally ill and then they threw him out after about 5 minutes.

Her twitter just screams at you how much she wants a kid. I hope she either gets what she wants or can at least make peace with her future because man I wouldn't want to be married to a woman bitter over not being given a child.

And for the record she'd probably be an amazing mom and I doubt she'd be handing her kid off to the nanny 10 hours a day either. She's so hands-on with the pets there's no way she'd let her kid be passed off to someone else to raise.

I was amazed that Steve didn't turn his anger to Richard and Sal over that. Really, it was them harassing him. I guess he just felt foolish.

Well, that and the fact that he came into the studio in a tizzy expecting people to side with him "OVER 300 PHONE CALLS I CAN'T WORK LIKE THIS" and Howard and Co. just berated him for dealing with the calls in the worst possible manner. It turned from him ratting out Sour Shoes to him getting almost reprimanded. By the end he was just embarrassed and wanted to leave.

But that's exactly the difference.

She's dull and boring with no entrainment value at all on a comedy show, but as a human being she's harmless and is a nice person. She doesn't need or deserve people attacking her and calling her a oval office.

Eric the Midget, Elegant Elliott Offen and High Pitch Eric are serial con-artists and genuinely lovely people so they definitely deserve to be called cunts every chance they get, even by their own parents.

Apparently it's "vegucation" as in "vegetables" and not "vegan". The ABC morning show hosts couldn't get it right either.

Eric the Midget ragequit the show, so then Jeff decided to become the designated whackpack actor and got represented by Johnny Fratto. Then Eric the Midget came back. Some guy shooting a movie offered a two small "extra" roles; Eric wouldn't take one of them because the guy was gay. Jeff said he would play both, but chose the non-gay one to piss off Eric. So then Howard put in a "Act Off" contest between Jeff and Midget for the other part. Jeff won it.

That does sound hilarious, I only wish Johnny Fratto would quit the show as well.

edit: Eric's inability to comprehend that actors PRETEND for a living is loving hilarious. "If I take a role where the character is gay, that means I'm gay in real life!!" His commitment to being a "method actor" is commendable, though.

Q. Are you going to go back on Howard to promote the book?
A. I don't know. I haven't set foot in there. Howard is afraid he's gonna say the wrong thing and set me off. He's like, "God forbid something happens." What happened was real intense. The times I've talked to him, he's been real supportive. He's happy for me that I'm back on track and doing better, but actually being on the show . . . He's afraid something might happen. I'm not saying it won't happen. Gary [Dell'Abate] has the book. He's reading the book . . . Look, if he does, he does. I'm not going to put any pressure on him because the guy has done everything for me, and he's just been amazing. But if he feels it's too intense and too risky to do it, that's gonna be his decision. And that's fine. I told the book company not to press him at all.


Huh... I guess I had assumed it was Artie who didn't want to come back.

Wait, what? After all this time where Howard is the puppetmaster every major fight and meltdown on the show then sits back and says "what happened? I missed it" as if to skirt any responsibility you really think Artie was the one worried about how coming back would make him crack?

I haven't listened in a couple months but have any fans called in to the show or The Wrap-Up Show to ask about Artie coming on now that the book is out and he said he wants to be on publicly?

I know Howard usually just screams and hangs up on people who mention Artie so I doubt it, but maybe getting on TWUS is better chance to get Gary to answer the question.

Give JD a cat and force him to take it home (and back to the office every day) and care for it or else he's fired. Then tape it for Howard TV.

Also let me program the show because it took me like 10 seconds to think of something better than just giving cats away.

If it's a lie, what's the truth then? Even if Howard felt that Artie stole the show and is secretly glad that he's gone, that's no reason not to bring him back for one show. It would be great radio.
