Sand Monster posted:Does anyone here watch "AGT"? I went to one of the live shows in NYC last year - it was a lot of fun. Mostly because people were screaming show references. That said, I had never actually seen AGT and when I tuned in to "my" episode, I was a bit horrified. What a piece of poo poo! Not even Howard could make me watch it.

After listening to the commercial yesterday and looking at their crappy website, I honestly can't tell if Shittens is a joke or not. Those "celebrity testimonials" HAVE to be fake, right? https://www.getshittens.com/

Never watched AGT but I've never watched any of those singing/dancing/whatever shows. The actual talent seems few and very far between and watching people embarrass themselves(many times unknowingly because friends and family won't tell them they suck) is cringe-worthy for me.

I watched a few episodes of AGT this year and it's really, really awful. As much poo poo as we give him in this thread, I'm a pretty big Howard mark still, but it's just a bad show. The talent isn't that incredibly talented, the judges really don't add much, and it's clear they tell the judges (Howard included) to put through acts that aren't that great.

I was dying laughing when Alec Baldwin was talking about his wife working for Extra. I was listening to old shows from 04 and I miss Artie. They're playing the Pat O'Brien "Let's get a hooker, some coke" tape and Artie is just listing off illegal things he wants to do. "I want to open an illegal bookmaking shop in Staten Island with you"

There's certainly no shortage of callers who get on the air and offer nothing but praise for it, that's for sure. And not just the expected Bob and Maryanne types. Dawg Saloon seems to think they're paid callers.

It wouldn't surprise me at all. I recall someone here posting how Howard does a lot of 'stealth' advertisements. Like he'll mention how he went and saw a movie over the weekend and liked it. There were some court documents showing those were really ads.

They praise it because they know it gets them on the air. God forbid Howard actually put someone on the phone and actually listen to them without throwing a tantrum. I think the highest Beth ever got on TV was hosting some show on Spike where they provided banter between movies. I seem to remember she was on with Big Pussy from the Sopranos.

Brocktoon posted:I have no idea what the gently caress Howard was trying to say about Hot for Teacher. It's a great song, but he was just rambling incoherently. I was hoping for some kind of profound point of why it was "game changing." It reminds me of the time he played that "Diamonds in the Sky" cover by some relatively unknown rock band. I remember people speculating that it was a sneaky advertisement, but since Howard couldn't even get his point across on this one, I'm doubting that it was paid for. Meanwhile, David Arquette's "shot" voice sounds a lot like Jeff the Drunk's.

AGT is pretty terrible, I can't watch it live. The show is just so full of bullshit filler. They tease acts and show you clips of stuff coming up and you watch the same bit over and over until they finally show you the bit. I can't stand all the fast cuts and low attention span bullshit they put into the show either. If they would just show the acts and let the judges make jokes it would be fun. I don't want biographies on shitheads and poorly made MTV music video previews every 10 seconds. Also yeah, a loving dog won the show last year.

Is that really the premise of the show? I always thought that was Howard's retarded explanation of what he's looking for. I think the the slackjaws who mill around Vegas looking for entertainment would be satisfied with just about anything.

Listening to those 2000 shows makes me miss Crackhead Bob. I love that poor dope. It also makes me realize how important the callers were to the show. It was always a beautiful thing hearing them whipping Howard up into a total frenzy with their rambling, incoherent calls. I never thought I'd come to realize just how much the mouth breathing fucks who called into his show really contributed.

Was rummaging around my Stern folder and found one of my all-time favorite Artie moments. I haven't seen it on Youtube ever, I managed to grab this off one of the Stern blogspot sites. I can't find what year it's from but the porn star Savannah and Bob Levy come in along with Beetlejuice and at some point Savannah let's out that she met Artie somewhere and then strung him along while never actually planning to gently caress him(while some point down the line she fucks Levy) and Artie just spends the rest of the interview in just this vicious passive-aggressive phase where he destroys her. At one point the guys are trolling Beetlejuice with Iron Sheik drops and Artie takes his Sheik impression and uses it to make fun of her for being a whore. To her credit she handles it with class by mostly ignoring it but Levy, a guy she's hosed and someone she seems to think is her friend, is sitting right beside her in hysterics from what Artie is saying. I really miss that baby gorilla.

I miss the times when Artie would talk about Bubba's show and how crazy it seemed to him. He'd do a Bubba imitation, saying something like "Tuesday, we shock the puss; Wednesday we send Twenty-five Cent to a Klan meeting; Thursday we feed Brent to an alligator; Friday, we all go to jail." It's not even close to funny without his delivery, though.

You should check out Youtube or various sites that post old Stern clips, the show was at its best from the early 90s to 2001 when Jackie left. I think Artie was at his best in 2006-2007, when he was free to say whatever he wanted and wasn't too hosed up by drugs. But the whole 2001-2006 period is fascinating because there are a lot of staff changes and you can see the show changing to what it is today, for better or worse.

There is one clip I started to think of yesterday but can't find it. I think its from 2006 and they were playing opening riff to Aqualung and making up lyrics to it. I remember them all saying really dirty offensive stuff and then it was Yuko's turn. He sang something like, "stupid, filty niggers" and everyone went "WHOOOOOOOOOOAA!!" I think that is also when Stern revealed that he had sex with a guest of the show at some point.

Some guy uploaded an 80+ hour 12 part series on Eric the Midget on YouTube and I've been listening to that all week. I'm on part 11 right now, and I really think Eric is of sub-par intelligence. Either that or he has some form of aspergers or autism or something that makes him totally oblivious in his interactions with other people. This hasn't come up in the clips I'm listening to yet, but didn't they have a wackpack IQ test or something and Eric scored below normal? Which is funny, since the little troll proudly trots out him graduating high-school with a 3.12 GPA over and over again. In other the Midget news, check out the poll results on the Howard Stern page in Sirius.com. The results are representative of TaTaToothy's booking abilities:
