Eh. That is too uncomfortable of a setting for Howard. You can see how much he is hating every second of it on the episodes he is on. I could see either a traditional talk show in the vein of Carson, etc or a Larry King type of one on one style. Something that Howard can control the environment and conversation like on the radio show.

I'm not saying it wouldn't be a success, but-

1) Do we really need another television format interview show?

2) If he goes that route, will he be relevant enough to convince non-Stern fans to watch?

3) If he has an interview focused show/podcast, will classic Stern fans care enough to watch/listen?

It's easy for social networks and forums like SA, Reddit, and SFN to shape your perception of what fans think of the show, but I can't help but feel like classic stern fans don't want to listen to Howard suck up to celebrities like Ellen for an hour. Maybe I'm wrong.

Rup what is the kind of porn whose popularity makes you lose faith in humanity the most?

Aside from the downright illegal and horrible poo poo I've seen that made me take a long walk away from my computer?

The overwhelming amount of solo male vids. Look, if you're hot, in shape, toned, muscle-y, whatever, jack off for the ladies and the gay men (or just so you can watch it later). That right there would account for about 5% of solo male stuff we get.

The rest of it? Overweight, heavy-breathing, hairy, wet-with-cheesy-sweat, small-dicked weirdos who just feel the need to pretend that they're the hottest thing ever. There was this chubby asian guy who, week after week, would upload videos of him jacking off, but the whole time, he's got this angry 'gently caress YOU' grimace on his face, constantly murmuring poo poo like "you like my huge cock? Huh? You like that big thing inside you?! Yeah? YEAH?!? Mmmmmmmm, yeah, take it allllll, gently caress yeah'.

Then there was the photo album account of some whiter-than-white ginger 'bear' (fat, hairy gay guy) who would just upload pics of his rear end in a top hat. Some were WAY too close up, but most had his face visible in the background, and he always had this crazy, super happy-go-lucky smile going on while he was spreading his buttcheeks. Seriously, hundreds of photos of ol' Smiley Red.

And of course, the one we all laugh at at work is some middle aged, pudgy accountant-looking motherfucker who only uploads one type of video; him, completely naked, in his living room, 'dancing' to European (German? Austrian?) polka music, but in a way that makes his dick flop up and down, up and down, over and over. Usually for like 4 minutes at a time.

Part of his typical Yankee Italian misogyny was suggesting how women pale in comparison to him in sports. To this end there were two trips to Vegas and on each there were games played against women.

I believe the first was actually Artie claiming he could hit a baseball thrown from any woman on the planet, a fair assumption since I would say even back then there was probably 20 women on the earth who could throw a baseball overhand at anything over 50mph which is a joke speed for anyone who's ever played baseball beyond putting the bat on the tee. So they found a woman and he gets a hit off her in like 3 pitches(not a great hit but a hit).

The following year they upped it to him being able to beat a woman in basketball. I think this was partially a bit on his part because he really never played basketball and it was just being done so they could add something else to the Vegas trip. They found a girl that was a backup(I believe) at Penn State. Artie jumped out to a huge like 10-2 lead and then managed to lose 15-14 in hilarious fashion since the game lasted more than 5 minutes and he was winded. I should point out that this was pre-Sirius Artie so it was fairly healthy Artie not morbidly obese Artie.

They should be out there on Youtube if you look for them including the videos if you're lucky. The basketball one is a real treat although surprisingly little harassment followed on the show which lends credence to the notion of it being more of a bit than something he hardcore bought into like being able to get a hit off any woman.

Yeah you pretty much have the timeline down.

Robin reads a news story about the first professional female baseball player. She pitched for a minor league team.
Artie says he can get a hit off any "broad" pitching overhand.

People like "us" aren't the demographic that they would be wanting. Look at how popular Ellen and before her Rosie shows are. Super safe, non offensive interview shows where you get all the big stars and throw them softball questions are big business. You would be insane to think that Netflix or Amazon wouldn't like a daily program like it.

The Larry King type of program would be more interesting. But you wouldn't be able to get the same clientele. Also with how Howard has been positioned I don't see them going that route either.

Honestly it is pretty evident that Howard doesn't give a poo poo about the radio show fans anymore. He is now positioned for the average Middle America housewife. I don't know anyone who isn't in the demographic who watched AGT nor does Howard's old audience watch AGT. With the transition in the radio show they have abandoned the old audience and feel they have enough of a new audience to move to a different world.

Howard is on Jimmy Kimmel sometime this week according to a commercial tonight. I would imagine a announcement could come there.

There's no possible chance anything he does after radio lasts more than a year or so before he "retires" from it. No network is giving him a show because their demographic has absolutely no idea he's not the stripper-loving fart master from 20 years ago any longer so his best shot is going to be on some 3rd rate cable channel and nobody's going to tune in to watch an ancient DJ interview B list celebs. His fans will flock to watch for like a week or two before they get bored, realize there's nobody around for Howard to bounce things off of and tune back out.

He tried this once before and it failed for essentially the same reasons and that was when he was ultra-popular in the late 90s. He doesn't have the ability to carry a show by himself, he's at his best with others around him.

The demographic they want either has no idea what Howard used to be or has seen him on AGT for the last several years. Again you have to realize something like this is not designed for us. Have you ever tried to watch a episode of Ellen? It is absolute fluff garbage but people, especially women, eat it up. As a plus he can still keep a 3 day work week as they pretape at least 1 episode a week so moving it to 2 wouldn't be a stretch especially for something that isn't super topical in humor like a show as this.

It is a step up in work from doing a game show but still much less work than doing the radio show every day.

I'm just not convinced Howard's interview qualities would translate well to a 30/60 minute network tv show. It's hard to compare him to Ellen, because Ellen is light hearted and goofy, it's no wonder she's popular. Middle America eats up celebrities dancing and acting goofy. Howard's strength is his long form interviews, and we all know where people go for that type of content - podcasts.

What do I know, maybe he'll be successful on Hulu or Netflix or something. I just don't think the current version of Stern would be very popular. Maybe he'll surprise us with a new show that's completely different.

Does he think that people won't stumble upon his 30 years history of strippers, lesbians, retards and midgets?

You can watch the old Dean Martin roasts and chalk the racism and sexism to the times, but I have a hard time believing that middle America would do that. Throwing lunch meat at the rear end of a stripper isn't something that people causally did in the 90s.

Has it ever come out how much Marci Turk is being paid? Whatever Howard's next move is, I'm sure she'll come out on top financially when it eventually fails. This just sounds like another person or group that knows how to get Howard to open his wallet. Like his shrink that wants him to have sessions 4 times a week and the guy that charges $300 to install a DVD player.
