Sand Monster posted:Then, at some point, the site shut down. Without being well versed in the lore around SFN, I'm assuming it didn't drop off a cliff in terms of popularity, and given that Howard was quite vocal about his dislike for the site, I wonder if it's all that far fetched to assume that he (Howard) must have paid off Mutt in order for him to shut it down? Mutt stated a few times that he did not get paid to host/run the website, and that he was not paid to shut it down. He simply respected Howard so much (and I'm sure getting his own show on Sirius didn't hurt) that when Howard asked for it to be shut down, he shut it down no questions asked. Given that Howard and Mutt remained friendly for long after SFN's shutdown is a pretty good indicator of that. If Mutt had decided to say "gently caress you" and continue running it, I'm sure he would have been served a C&D or some other assorted legal threat

I just finished reading The War for Late Night about the Leno/Conan debacle and started listening to a compilation of Howard's comments about the whole thing. Pretty interesting how the stories contrast all over the place. Howard claims he was invited to be on one of the last shows and didn't because he didn't want to fly to LA, but the book calls out that specifically in Conan's exit contract he was banned from having Howard Stern or David Letterman on the show in the last two weeks.

It was a good read. I went back and listened to the Leno-Conan fiasco recently including Rosie and Howard patching things up to poo poo on Jay. What a scumbag Jay is. There's a clip 5-6 years before when Jay makes his announcement is Howard basically says yeah right this guy will never leave.

Who did those insanely detailed show recaps? I remember the show making an offer to put the guy on the payroll but of course they insisted on editorial approval and would basically gently caress the whole thing up.

Yeah, I read it immediately after finishing the Late Shift and they are fascinating books. The funny thing is I think War kinda vindicates Leno a bit. He still sucks and his addiction to work has made him a selfish prick, but when it comes right down to it he really just accepted what NBC was offering and not much more. NBC hosed things up so hilariously bad. It was definitely Howard's comment that led them to wanting him to be a final guest.

The Sal apology tape is probably the best bit in show history because of how many layers it has. It is fascinating to see Sal being racist, but like Robin said, he doesn't know he is racist.

If Christine leaves him the first thing he's gonna do is go down on a.... let me see here.... a big fat ghetto black chick. Yes, his words. Not racist at all!

Another great Sal event is Howard telling him he can't come the wedding. While Howard never admitted it, Beth was mad at him for the horse joke during one the roasts.

You're right though, it's basically another one of Sal's ingenius "OK, approachings the podiums" bits that definitely isn't flagrantly racist as gently caress.
