Just think of this as a new phase of Howards life. The old show is over, and he's transitioning to the elder statesman that he always wanted to be. If he's even on for one day a week after his contract expires I'll be happy because 1 day is better than no days.

NO. He has become everything he ever hated.... he has become Don Imus. :colbert:

It may seem like that but really he mentioned often that he wanted to do a game show and be an elder statesman. The cats things is ridiculous though.

He always wanted to be a game show host because it was a cushy job. He never wanted to be Bob Barker or Alex Trebek - he wanted to be Howie Mandel or Simon Cowell. Him joining AGT was the reason I stopped watching, I knew he did it because he was greedy. It was the antithesis of everything he made fun of only a few short years prior. Sad, man, sad.

Drink up comrades
You have to grow up a little, and at 60 maybe it is time he try something other than pretending to be the rebel rebel. He won the war, let him be a crazy vet petting his cats and making millions of dollars having play fights with washed up C listers while children sing and dogs do tricks.

Howard can't have a cushy job, he can only complain about not having one and making his own life a living hell and over complicating things in his messed up mind.

Yeah, but Don Imus is 73 and hosts a daily television show. Howard is 59 and has a show on satellite radio three days a week. For as much as we sneer at people like Imus and Leno for being lame, they clearly know what it takes to be successful.

Meanwhile, Gilbert was on The Artie Lange Show last night for the third time this year where the two completely bust each other up with completely outdated references (which, to me, was one of the things that made Gilbert appearances on THSS enjoyable).

Yucko's gone because he just killed the character a few weeks ago. I'm sure if he brings it back in the next 2 or 3 years he'll get back on.

Joey Boots is still around but he was barely even a Wack Packer, more just an obsessed fan and those don't get airtime regardless unless they're plug experts like Bobo.

John the Stutterer I think had/has financial issues which forced him to move or something and I think it's preventing him from being on the show.

Was this a recent appearance? Last one that I had heard of was him coming in to promote Brickleberry

Howard referenced him winning the lottery and just doing pro wrestling for fun when he felt like it at some point shortly after they went to Sirius. I'm not sure if he meant that AA was actually a lottery winner or just had an easy life or what

One of his family members (mother, maybe) literally won the lottery years ago, and that's why he gets to live a life of leisure.

May be old news but here's Levy on why he's exiled:

http://www.marksfriggin.com/levy.htm

I'm not sure if this is the whole story. I remember Levy plugging an internet radio show where he was going to talk about him being banned from the SiriusXM building and Stern calling the FBI on him.

A few months ago Jim Florentine was on the Opie and Anthony show and Levy called in. Someone asked if Levy was banned from the building and he said something along the lines he wasn't sure.

I found this on Reddit.

quote:

Bob calls Tim, tells him he's going to end his relationship with Stern and do stuff with O&A. Tim tries to persuade him otherwise. Bob rejects him.

Bob finds he is banned from the building. When he calls up Tim's assistant, he (Jarrod) says it is because Bob assaulted four security guards.

He calls the next day, Jarrod denies saying he said Bob assualted security. But he's still banned.

He calls yet again the next day. Jarrod goes back to the assault story.

This next part shouldn't be TL;DR'd: "Seeing how this cycle was going Bob decided to go back to his good old standby bit, ATTACK YOUR TARGET if you can't get an answer. That should get someone's attention at the Stern Show! So Bob goes on his Stickam PodCast at LevyLand and announces how he plans to murder Howard Stern and his wife."

He says Stern called the police and FBI about the threat. They showed up "after checking out the situation they informed Bob that he's much too talented to be playing these games. He needs to just move along with his career, to which he agreed."

Bob starts doing a bit for O&A, but then finds he is banned from all Sirius XM shows/building.

Oh god, the Tom & Roseanne years were beyond gold. Even better than when Sly Stallone's parents would fight with each other. My favorite bit is when Roseanne accused Tom of stealing $2 million in cash she kept in a shoe box. Oh and that Tom beat her (which is funny because Roseanne also hired some "studio goons" to rough up Tom). How fuckin' big are those shoes that you can fit $2 million in cash in the box?

Interesting...

Given the dark turns taken by these various sidekicks, wack packers, etc. get into, is it all that surprising that Howard is dialing back? He's getting older, he has a lot to lose, and it's not that much of a leap to think that one of these people might snap and go after him or his wife or his kids or whatever, or maybe after someone else, leaving people to blame Howard for essentially fostering the madness.

The guy from Nickelback has a long history of loving 14 year olds in their tour bus so it makes sense that he's shack up with Avril Lavigne tbh

Edit: His own tour bus. He doesn't like sharing a bus with his band.

(source: his chef. He has a chef. No, it's not the band's chef. Also I watched a death march of 14 year olds go into his bus when I was helping his chef when they were in town)

The shitstain from Nickelback has his own tour bus?! Great, now God has to send two meteors to wipe that awful band off the face of the earth.

That time they got booed off the stage during halftime of that one Lions game was pretty great though.

edit: Really?

quote:

For writing and demoing purposes, Kroeger has a recording setup in his home away from home: the bus in which he travels when Nickelback hit the road. Each of the band members has his own bus, and in Kroeger's case the middle section of his vehicle houses a Pro Tools rig, which he has only recently come to appreciate for its ease of use.

Does anyone remember when Howard.first played that? I think it was when he was playing bits from Sal and Richard that didn't make it. It was about the blind and black mayor. Howard rejected it because it was too racist and Artie was cracking up about how absurd it was. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
