I predict a sanitized Howard's return to terrestrial radio.


PS how sickening was it to hear Sarah Silverman lecture the audience about her newfound political correctness?

Nah. I think he'll stay at Sirius, but cut hours back a lot in order to do a Howard Stern Interview Show like Larry King. He'd have the listeners, it wouldn't require much change, and if he did it via ISBN, he could just stay in Florida.

In an ideal world, he and the team would also put up the old Howard TV episodes on Netflix or YouTube. Hell, put the new interviews up there weekly.

Maybe it's the same kind of people who buy biographies. They exist, and they buy a lot of books.

But I have trouble caring at all about interviews unless it's somebody I really like and am interested in.

They're hit or miss for me. I loved listening to Tina Fey go off about how Paris Hilton was a horrible SNL guest. I want stuff like that.

Ok, so I'm listening to the 30 minute clip of Howard revisiting some classic R&S prank calls, and they bring up the fact that Richard got in trouble when he was younger for making prank calls in his hometown, and Howard's reacting like he's never heard it before. I know he has a lot of stuff happen on the show over the years, and I can just pull up any clip on youtube whenever I want and listen to it as if it just happened, but he didn't even say 'Ohhh, I remember this'. Same with when Eric, after 'In Plain Sight', mentions 'American Dreams', and Howard just has no clue what he's talking about.

Like... really? He also used to constantly mention, each time as if it was the first, how Sour Shoes used to follow him around and bother him. I think the last time he mentioned it was during the SS vs Langford string of calls. It's kind of insane how bad Howard's memory of his own show seems to be, but then again, like I said, a lot has happened. Who knows how I'd handle the same situation.

And yes, I know I've brought up the Sour Shoes mentions before.

EDIT: Also, godDAMN do I want to see Richard and Sal's 15-page long list of dirty names. I mean, could we even, as a collective bunch of thread posters, come up with more than, say, 50?

He doesn't care; he's thinking about "charity" fundraisers or some stupid poo poo like that.

They are incredibly profitable and surprisingly popular. There is a reason why the Tonight Show has been on the air since 1954. The super successful stuff in the last couple of decades has been the daytime/afternoon talk shows most notably Rosie and Ellen. Very light comedy along with big stars having softball interviews has been the recipe for success there. Hell, it even worked for Leno in late night. Now a straight interview show ala Larry King is not as popular. They do get ratings for big exclusives for big news, although that has always mostly been Larry only with those.

I think if they tried to give Howard a Larry King type of show it will flop. Howard 20-25 years ago would have excelled at that but the modern Howard would die quickly. Something akin to a Ellen with this current makeover could be successful, perhaps in the morning to give a alternative to the Today/GMA garbage.

I don't see it. He'd have to abandon radio altogether in order to "reinvent" his image.

This is a two-point reply but, have you ever met anyone who was a true hardcore narcissist? That's Howard. He's self admitted that, unless it pertains to him directly and makes him look good/bad, he doesn't really pay attention to these moments. He remembers Sour because he told him off in the streets, he remembers Jackie stonewalling on negotiations, etc but of course not what Richard and Sal did even two months ago let alone five years ago.

The other point is, he sometimes goes out of the way to purposely negate that he is into or a fan of something. For example, claiming to never watch Seinfeld yet admitting in a brief moment of candor that his favorite episode was the Merv Griffin set episode. Or mispronouncing words like Torah (toe-ruh), advertisement (ad-ver-dis-ment), or schnorrer (sha-nurr-rer) as if he is entitled not to say them the right way because of his standing in society ("I prank! No one else!")...which is ironic because he always used to bust Jerry Lewis' balls for doing the same poo poo.

He used to complain about how big stars treated people like poo poo. Turns out that was only because he wasn't able to get into the club.

He also invented everything first. I like how he rips on Jay for stealing his ideas, yet around this time last year Howard was doing his own version of "Headlines" which was painfully unfunny.

I could see him do something like Nikki Sixx's syndicated show. 10 or 15 minutes of banter or canned interviews and then play music. He could easily record 3 or 4 shows a day since each one would only contain 40-55 minutes of content. Syndicate it around North America and there you go.

This made me remember that Howard had Sal tell the full details of his G-Man/Cool the Candy Rapper rap album saga two different times years apart. It's a great dopey Sal story, so it is totally worth retelling, but at no point during the second time did anyone on staff even hint at the fact that they had heard the story before. It was so weird.

Yeah, first time it happened was when Robin was reading some news story about a frat dude dying or something from rear end chugging so Richard spontaneously volunteered to do it. They did it again last week but with pumpkin beer this time.
