Artie has talked about this -- I guess there are a lot of corporate gigs that you can do for big money if you can do clean, friendly stand-up comedy. Plus, I'm sure people are willing to go out to a comedy club to see Jay Leno -- he's famous. The Tonight Show isn't the juggernaut it once was, but I would not be surprised at all to find out he draws more people than multiple edgy comedians combined.

I can only imagine some poor rear end in a top hat who paid $30 for Fa Fa Flofly's audiobook and a huge portion of it is just him reading off song names.

That was more hilarious because it really showed Howard's disconnect with normal people, but it was still good Booey beating.

I get annoyed every time I think about the fact that I spent money on Gary's book. It was harribly boring. He's the worst story teller - he includes all of this superfluous information that is not in any way needed to tell the story.

No, but his and Nick's show is pretty funny. I laughed way more at that than I have at Stern in the past......Jesus I don't know. He's a little harsh with them sometimes but I love his dynamic with the Twins on his show.

Artie is like a trainwreck on the air, it's pretty good if you can stop yourself from cringing too much, just pretend he is totally putting on his horrible stuff for comedic effect.

Then get depressed that Nick isn't.

I was listening to a show awhile back and he just straight up called one of the twins a bitch, like a reflex, nobody had any idea where it came from and he just pawned it off on him insisting he was calling Dan that instead. Nick is very bitter and angry.

When Artie was talking about Jeff Ross, Nick just hates him and was ragging on him big time, making fun of him for being uhh... funny and moderately successful. It sounded very sour grapes and was strange. Even Artie was like, "Uhh, okay... if you say so" about it. If you can get past some stuff (blatant woman hating and sport jock homophobia) it's a good show. Artie owns.

Also as far as Nick and Artie go, the six and seventeenth of August shows were good. Yeah Nick and Artie can be a little misogynistic and homophobic but that is the demographic.

Maybe they should change it up though for the internet demographic. Maybe they should change their images, I'm thinking two atheist, transexual, vegan, anti-capitalist, anti-american, brony, pokemon playing Redditors.

To be fair, Scott was responsible for one of the top show pranks - the Stuttering John Tonight Show audition tape. (Ronnie on the other hand...)

I am honestly stumped as to whether or not Ronnie is in on the joke. Does he know the reason they gently caress with him is because of his over-the-top reactions? Or, does he really have no clue that he sounds like he sounds like he might be mentally ill when he strikes back at people?

This morning when he was striking back at John Leibermen, "HAHAH YEAH RIGHT JOHN YOU IDIOT" he was like, screaming at John - his volume was so much higher than everyone else he sounded mentally ill.

But then other times it seems like he has NO idea why he is being ridiculed.

Ronnie always gets on my nerves whenever someone tries to criticize him and all he does is parrot back what they say in a sarcastic tone of voice "Yeah I'm an rear end in a top hat", "Yeah I'm a jerk", "OK, whatever."

Nothing else on the show compared to Fred working the Gary puppet and Billy working the Jackie puppet

Maybe one of the best segments ever was when Mike Judge did the news as Bevis and Butthead while Fred did the Gary Puppet and Billy worked the Jackie Puppet

Just to clarify this, he recently pissed in a cup in the studio and demanded an intern or one of the twins clean it up.

DirectTV wanted to suspend him for this so he rage quit instead.
