He did 3 in Miami this year! He actually is under contract for a certain number a year. Back when I listened he used to complain like crazy when there was a random holiday they were working so that they could get the entire next week off and still reach their quota.

When people would call and complain about them always being gone he would go on a rant about how he makes 450 hours of content a year which is far more than any other comedy show.

Closer by NIN comes on the other day and all I can hear is Fred's "gently caress YOU!" drop from Ed Wood. I think they played it a few times back in the day and I can't hear the song the same way any more.

I've heard Adam Carolla say he had a story of norm butt-loving a friends wife while the guy was mowing the lawn on his show once but it sounds so strange. It's been so long I don't really remember, but if I really had to guess I think it was Greg Fitzsimmons who told the story, so maybe it was on his podcast? From what I remember it was while Norm was a writer on Roseanne's show, and all the other writers got ticked off because Norm got all sorts of special treatment for being her boy toy.

I saw Jackie do comedy at a pizza place on Saturday. My observations - The fucker looks old as poo poo. A lotta cold gold I guess. - He's either got dentures or caps because his mouth is bright white and he clicked and clacked like a puppet when he talked. - He killed. Absolutely killed. I mean, it was a bunch of drunk white people in Mass so it was a perfect audience, but I can't lie, I was laughing too. I feel like a lot of comedy these days is cerebral or surreal or this and that, and it was nice to hear some guy go up and tell a bunch of ancient dick jokes with no real pretense or set-up to anything. - I knew probably 20% of the jokes in the set which means Jackie has probably told them 4,000 times and he still laughed like it was the first time, every time. - He stopped mid-set to hold up his two books and say they would be for sale at the end of the show (with no shame). - He was a "middle" to use Sal vernacular which was a little sad. I was hoping to see the whole Jackie caravan of t-shirts, CDs, etc but I guess those days are gone. No Stump the Jokeman too which was a bummer. - At the end of the show he stood in a doorway holding a piece of luggage filled with his books. I asked if I could Venmo or Paypal him for a copy and he said cash only, but I did get him to say "Give Rodney a Chance" so my life is complete. I've said it all.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:I'm not familiar with what you mean here, can you explain? I had to look it up too, but basically: Dolly Parton is known for her good-natured wit and easygoing way with people, but shock jock Howard Stern managed to get her dander up with one of his many public displays of questionable taste. The year was 2008, and Stern edited the audiobook version of Parton's memoir, My Life and Other Unfinished Business, to make it appear as if she was making racist comments and speaking poorly of other musicians, including her friend and collaborator Linda Ronstadt. The country icon responded with an uncharacteristically strongly worded public statement. "I have never been so shocked, hurt and humiliated in all my life,” Parton said. “I cannot believe what Howard Stern has done to me. In a blue million years, I would never have such vulgar things come out of my mouth. They have done editing or some sort of trickery to make this horrible, horrible thing." Read More: Remember When Dolly Parton Feuded With Howard Stern? | https://tasteofcountry.com/dolly-parton-howard-stern-feud/ I was listening back then, and remember a little stink about it I think?, but that was only from Howards side, and I'd take Dolly's position over Howards any day. e.

There were even lawsuits floated, but Stern apologized on the air and they never played it again. After that they only chopped up the audiobooks of staff and friends of the show. I think the two specific ones that set them off were her saying "Kenny Rodgers' beard smells like boy cum" and of course "God drat I love ni**er cock!"

I mean its clearly parody and no court in the country would have heard the case of Parton vs Stern I think Evil Dave was much more liability then an audio book chopped up that you can clearly hear is a parody.

Oh yeah, it would be super hard to win that case, but it would have burned cash and definitely would not have looked good for Stern. I think that was the same year he gave the infamous speech where he asked the staff to start kissing up to A listers. The funny thing about Evil Dave is if you listen to his first couple of years on the show, they actually called him David Letterman or Dave. After that they made sure he was called "Evil Dave" to the point that Howard would correct anyone that just said Dave. Clearly word got back that Letterman or his staff were pissed.

How about when Evil Dave said he'd record a voicemail greeting for Artie and then right after he finished he turned to Artie and said "You know, I usually get $50 for this." Pretty sure Artie gave him the money too lol

Pretty sure Artie gave him the money too lol I love this story. Has anyone ever successfully sued the show? There have been a number of lawsuits but I’ve never heard of any of them coming to anything. I remember the last time Cabbie appeared on the show he was hawking some shady weight loss drug. He was fat as hell and they goofed on him throughout the appearance. Then the next day the owner of the weight loss drug said they were suing the show for disparaging the product. Cabbie was banned from the show after that and nothing about it was ever mentioned again.

Pretty sure Artie gave him the money too lol May he RIP. I'm endlessly fascinated by that guy, from his complete inability to read to being blown away by potato chips and orange juice well into his 60's to having to sneak out of his house and use a flashlight to flag a ride to a local radio studio to record his bits. His mispronunciations are some of the hardest I've laughed at the show (ski-pipe for Skype is my favorite). One of a kind.

euphronius posted:I love how evil Dave wasn’t doing an impersonation Well, not quite; you can hear his regular voice when he's just a normal guest on the show, like for the Newlyweird game or whatever it's called, if you can stomach rewatching it ("You laugh or you get it, right Artie?"). I think even him eating (paint) chips showcases his regular voice. Don't get me wrong, it's very close, but his normal voice always sounded calmer and quieter.

His natural voice was very close, but when he was Evil Dave he would mimic some of Dave's mannerisms and stuff. As dumb as he was and while he didn't need to change his voice, his Dave impression was uncanny.
