I remember he referred to her as “Ellen Degenerate” for years and also said Jennifer Aniston probably had a smelly pussy. He is the fakest piece of shit - left all the people who made his show great in the cold so he could be “friends” with other phony pieces of shit.
Yes, sir. I think Jackie summed up the horrid phoniness of the Wigward scum by saying "Howard has always been staring in at the "cool Hollyweird crowd" from the outside [wishing he could be one of them]... And [staring through the looking glass] you have to stand back pretty far with that nose!"
Did Artie talk about that? I wonder what the rationale was
Yeah I forget where but he mentioned it a couple times when he was promoting the second book - don’t know if the third book tried to get ads on Stern but def the second one “crash and burn” since his first book was a NYT bestseller. He said it was the first time the book publisher were turned down when trying to buy ads for a book - and this was when Stern wasn’t getting major advertisers like he did on FM radio - pretty much only Ashley Madison or Stephen Singer. Stern of course won’t talk about it.
All of his interruptions to guest didn't help him in the long run. As it lead to two moments that haunt him still to this day. Where Elle McPherson called him an "old jewish grandmother" or something like that. And when Jaime Pressly said he was "slapped a yarmulke" and loudly laughed at him before he could respond. Probably the hardest that anyone hit him in the history of the show. With her maniacal laughing really selling it and driving Howard mental.
His Sirius contract is one of the most insane contracts in history. There is no way he made the money back for Sirius. And even more ridiculous is that he kept suing Sirius over wanting more money.
I remember Opie joking they should decorate the Sirius offices with some of the many awful contracts they gave that didn’t move the needle at all for subscriptions. Stern still takes credit for every Sirius subscriber they’ve ever had even though you have to pay extra to get him. I’ve heard Sirius “doesn’t know” how many are actually listening to their channels but I’m sure it’s just what they tell all the talent. Stern tried to get a bonus over subscription numbers.
The McPherson/Presley videos were fantastic, no doubt! Those moments are what is defined as "narcissistic injuries." Find something a soulless, malignant narcissist can't deal with on a mental, emotional or psychological level and hit 'em with it without mercy (especially in front of others) and they are absolutely crushed by it over and over again. It bounces around in their shit for brains like a .22 LR round.
He admitted as much during the filming of Private Parts! He couldn't wait for his narcissism to be on full display with that admission. "Hoo Hoo, Robin, remember Letterman's rule that no one could look him in the eyes?! I did that on the set of Private Parts! Hoo Hoo, it was great!" "Howard, you did not!" "Yes I did! The rule on set was no one could make eye contact with me!"
His entire sham, scam lawsuit with Sirius was that Pelican Freak should get ALL the credit for the merger between XM and Sirius meaning that Stern is responsible for every subscriber of XM counted as his subscribers! Fucking madness. Stern wasn't ever on XM. That's some next level hubris right there. That was an easy thrown out lawsuit for Sirius!
I'd love to hear again the David Spade voicemail that Stern played on air with Spade clearly mocking his re-goddamn-penisless fake "Hoo Hoo Hoo" laugh. After he played that Stern pivoted to "Hoo Hoo, Robin, that's my fake laugh! Hoo Hoo Hoo!"
You may be correct about that. I think he essentially admitted it at one point or that he was involved in Wiggy Leaks.
That was right after Hypocrite Howie talked about someone else flexing egoism by having the halls cleared for them. Then he does exactly the same like the thief of ideas he has always been and will always be. Same as the letterman "no eye contact rule" that Pelican stole for Private Parts set. "Hoo Hoo, Blobin, everyone rips me off!"
It’s odd because he understands the vibe of the show because he’s a huge fan but he is also painfully unfunny so he sounds like a dbag every time he tries breaking balls.
That at least makes me happy - he’s a huge piece of shit but he’s a miserable piece of shit that will never be happy. Just a grumpy old Jewish woman that doesn’t leave the house and finds things to complain about all day.
Spade also picked up on his other “pfffft” laugh he used to do all the time in the 90s I invented that, Robin! Tell ‘Em Fred! (Hehe!) oh shut up, Jackie…
He made them build him all kinds of private elevators / entrances just so he would eventually never come into the studio. I can see him going full Howard ( HOOHOO) Hughes in few years.
I think it was 2012 when Howard was talking about the then hit show “Girls” and said he liked it but didn’t like seeing Lena Dunham nude (for obvious reasons) and said she looked like Jonah Hill. Being that she was the well connected “it” girl of the moment she got upset and the big scary tough guy “king of all media” had to beg her for forgiveness on the air. Big Bad Stern was brought to knees by the fat ugly jewish girl that molested her sister.
