beergod posted:I started listening during The Sirius Years and I have come to the conclusion that I'm an Artie Lange - not Howard Stern - fan. When you are turning Steve Brandano into an on-air personality and spending hours discussing how valid his various emotions are, you have truly entered into a world from which there is no return: and that was the best of today's show! The Howard Stern show has been making the back office staff on-air personalities since about day 1. The Brandano stuff wasn't A1 or anything, but that's generally one of the greatest aspects of the show. I'm no Jason Kaplan fan, but the spot where Howard called his mother and talked to her for an hour about her treatment of Jason was one of my favorite bits in whatever the hell year it happened.

AxeManiac posted:What the average consumer thinks and what is true is hardly ever the same. There is a phone called Droid, there is an OS called Android. From now until the history of phones is over, people won't care which one you call it and if you point it out you might as well be rolling around in a Stephen Hawkings wheelchair on your way to a D&D camp for all anyone cares. I so badly want to make fun of people for getting all spergy about the tech talk on Stern and how protective they get over their gay-rear end phones, but then I remember how much it drives me nuts when Howard says he's a comic book expert and half butchers every fact he throws out about comics. We've all got our bugaboos, I guess.

Bonzo posted:Cabbie was ultimately banned a few years ago. He was in the studio to promote some kind of weight loss supplement and as soon as he walked in Howard told him that he looked fatter then before. The porno thing was a big deal, too. There's a picture of Ron Jeremy sticking his dick in the mouth of the OJ mask, and that freaked Howard out something serious since guests were always putting it on as a goof during breaks. Cabbie also put a picture on the diet supplement's website with Howard after he promised Howard he wouldn't do it. Cabbie was loving terrible for the most part, but there was some great stuff too. His psychotic breakdown in 04-05 was amazing, and a lot of his weird gay revelations were hilarious. I'm pretty sure Artie did the benefits before the ban, though.

A lot of this is true, but you can't take Levy at his word for anything because he is an insane, drug addicted liar with more than one antisocial personality defect. I liked the guy on the show, and his involvement with Miserable Men was just about the only reason I liked that show. Sorry to see him go, sorry it had to end the way it did, but it wasn't going to last forever with Bob, like anything and everything else in his life. Also, despite the mockery, Howard was always very supportive of John (ie the plugfest of "One, Two, Many" during the Stuttering John Spotlight). Howard turned on him when John started talking poo poo about him on Twitter or whatever.

Former Human posted:Billy is a weird guy in general. Despite his crazy talent and how much he'd bring to the show, he was never a perfect fit. Any time they needed him to be candid about anything, it was all deflections and half answers. I get why he'd be uncomfortable during the John Kricfalusi ambush, but it passed awkward into being bizarre at times. I miss him on the show, and I wish to hell they could at least get one sit down with the guy. quote:As for Stuttering John, he couldn't take the high road if he had a GPS for it. He doesn't know what the high road is, unless he thinks "high" has to do with inhaling whipped cream. Yeah they goofed on him when he left but they mostly stuck to bashing Jay Leno. John has done an interview or two slamming Howard since leaving. No one blames John for getting a great high paying job, but the way he handled his departure was so lovely. I'm still surprised at how well Howard took it. DangerDummy! fucked around with this message at 07:28 on Jan 19, 2011 |

Most people who call into radio shows don't have a whole lot going on in the brains department, generally speaking. High Pitch and the rest of the mouth breathers who hang on hold for four hours a day hoping to talk to Howard aren't too sharp with the clever patter. If they hadn't neutered Sal and Richard (they got a talking to from corporate, whether Howard gave them "permission" or not), or if Janks or Yucko or any of the other more talented sociopaths had gotten involved, it woulda been a lot better. I'm still glad they disrupted her show. She's a really gross human being.

Guys Howard is suing someone what a hypocrite! Also I am incapable of understanding context! I think Howard should probably spread the wealth a bit more amongst the office staff, but on the other hand I guess their insurance coverage is very good, and they have to spend very little out of pocket for it.

If he stays healthy, if he's out of the "therapy's for faggots" mindset, if he's getting real help, then I bet Art will do something within the next couple years. Probably some limited stand-up engagements or something. He'll probably get some more film and TV work if he gets over that hump. Mostly I think it would be much easier for him to work in the entertainment industry than working at the post office or going back to the docks or something.

It wasn't really the super slam I was expecting though A lot of people get so excited when something remotely negative is said about Howard that they'll always try to make into some EPIC BURN!!! Like how they built up the Dierdre Imus/Beth O guy who used to call in, acting like Howard was bedeviled and utterly flummoxed by him or something. His usual "how dare you..." that he says jokingly in response to any criticism all of the sudden becomes "HOW DARE YOU!?!". It makes them happy.

Former Human posted:When Artie was sleeping on the air, lying to everyone, monopolizing the airtime with his longwinded heroin stories, or just plain calling in sick, the show was worse than it is now, at least for me. The show's pretty uneventful these days, which ain't a great thing to have to say about the best radio show on Earth, but the show was honest-to-god nausea inducing during the height of Artie's breakdown. I definitely don't listen to a comedy show to get depressed. I miss Artie on the show so much, but he really made the show terrible during the end of his run. It put me on edge the way he'd start yelling over Howard during interviews and stuff.

AxeManiac posted:I'd imagine they are still pretty low on the pay scale, they are doing pod casts after all. There is some money in it, but poo poo, they say on their own sites they get paid poo poo. Rogan had two very lucrative network gigs, one of them ending up in syndication, plus he's a name so I'm sure he's getting some good bank for stand-up. Carolla had a very good radio contract with his own show (he was supposed to be the west coast replacement for Stern after all), not that it lasted very long. The lifestyle he enjoys does seem to be a bit above his pay grade though. Not Hollywood royalty, but wealthy nonetheless.

Millstone posted:Yeah that was only a few years ago right? I think it was in an interview and Howard just went completely apeshit. Then a few months later Howard did a complete 180 and said something like "I never said I hated John, what are you talking about" to a caller. John sucked once he became too big to do what they hired him for in the first place, he was only ever entertaining as a punchline (like Cabbie), and of course Howard was pissed at him for how he left the show, not why. He was at least decent enough not to run him down in public until he made that bonehead kool-aid comment. He made a lot of jokes at his expense but, y'know, comedy radio show. It's funny to see people running to defend his dumb rear end when next to no one on the show who ever worked with him has anything nice or positive to say about him, outside of his ability to gently caress with Booey and his stock picking acumen. He is not a quality person. And Howard has every right to be pissed at Jay for head-hunting John, considering that they had a friendly relationship at the time. It was never discussed with him, they just went about it all surreptitiously. If you listen to the shows from when that happened, it's pretty amazing just how lightly John got off for as long as he did. That was a real cute remark, that "Jew teat" thing, by the way.

He was the worst when he'd flop his rear end down on the couch and join in on the discussion when no one asked for him and contribute nothing of interest to the conversation. Eventually Howard would ask him why he was in the studio, and he'd go back to faking more worthless Dr. Remulak calls. Giving him his due, he was really loving awesome at making Gary miserable. The way he would brow beat him for being a good father and husband and absolutely drive him berserk was hilarious. He was very good at being a lovely human being.

/\boomSizzlechest posted:Jay was willing to pay John money and Howard/Viacom wasn't. Jay is an rear end in a top hat for taking him away from a poo poo job? Jay has a history of backdooring deals and being a two-faced liar and a sneak to get his way. This was not a new thing. It's well documented. So well so that someone wrote two books about it. God bless him, it's made him a success and he's gotten everything he's ever wanted because of it. He's beholden to no one to do things the "proper" or "decent" way. He head-hunted John. I don't especially care since it got John off the show, and I sure don't begrudge John his success. And, let's face it, no matter how it went down, Howard was going to be pissed about it. That's kind of his thing. Jay just went about it in his usual creepy manner. What did Jay really get out of the deal, anyway? An unfunny boat anchor that he shuffled behind the scenes as soon as he could without looking like an ogre to his loving public.

Sizzlechest posted:I don't think he was a terrible person. I just think his attitude when it came to compensation was retarded. He reminds me of a lot of people I know who are "pennywise and pound foolish." If he would have had someone like a Don Buchwald negotiate for him instead of finding an agent in the Pennysaver, maybe he'd still have a career. Quite frankly, the fact that he wasn't able to use his success from the show to make a profitable career for himself shows how bad of a businessman he really is. He's like one of those people who are dirt poor, win the lottery, and lose it all in a couple years. Jackie seemed like a real fun guy to know.A lot of his ideosyncracies were especially funny, but letting a 1.5 mil contract die like that with no real prospects for the future is incredibly dumb. The show's the worse off for not having him on it now, though the Artie years were by and large unbelievably good. So many years later, if they got Jack back somehow, I'd start to care about the show again.

-Atom- posted:Jason Ellis let it slip once that all the stunts he's done on the Stern show were bits Levy had pitched to the show. Bob's a pretty loathsome human being, but I definitely think they could have treated him better for all that he did for the show. The Levy breakdown over not being booked on the show to promote something was what led to the insane "gently caress YOU GARY" rant. Levy called in the next day to apologize, and you could practically hear him staring at his shoes the whole time. I feel like they gave him a raw deal sometimes, but another fake celebrity boxing match promo was the last loving thing the show needed. The big break-up was over the end of show plugs going on waaay too loving long. Miserable Men wasn't a very good show, but the last two months of Bob's stay there were pretty fun, with them spending every week trying to push Bob into meltdown. They did pretty good job of it, really.
