Is Howard Stern still worth listening to...

Is Howard Stern still worth listening to? I hear that on Monday he's having George Takei over for an 80th birthday party. Sounds like it will be the most depraved thing ever recorded.

George Takei will probably grab another guy by the cock then go back on Twitter and complain about Drumpf.

>rat faced jew that was never funny

He's turned the show into The View by all reports. He hired a redhead self-help charlatan with a SJW agenda, and she has neutered the show of any adult themes. You can't even call Gary the Retard, a retard anymore etc. Stern himself is just fixed on being radio's Barbara Walters.

So yeah, the show in 2017 is just a ghost of its former self. It's been gutted and replaced with other shit.

>no artie
>no beetlejuice
>no gary the retard
>worth listening to

Have you listened to it recently? It's still pretty funny. It's just not the only depraved talk show anymore. I think he is one of the best Interviewers of the last 20 years. His Trump interviews before the elections are pretty good.

>tfw sterngeek is gone and nowhere to get the recording of the previous days show

I bet this guy isn't on the show anymore either.

No. Not now.

He's become everything he once railed against. What an asshole too. Still, good interviewer, deserves some respect for making waves in media too.

Stern is the most embarrassing sell out of probably all time. He is repulsive, everything he pretended not to be.

How does a man in his mid sixties have jet black hair?

Well for one thing, he's said the move to satellite radio basically required a change in the shows format. Anyone can be shocking when there's no barrier but to really interview someone to find their real self is more interesting. Stern even talked about how therapy sessions helped him connect with people on a personal level

What waves? Calling Lena denham brave?

He ended his career making Imus look good

DUDE I INVENTED EVERYTHING LMAO

Ever see Private Parts?

Bullshit.
First year was fine, then he realized he had 1/10 the audience. He gave y up year two and began creating safe place for celebs like Rosie and chevy chase. Christ that fuck.

He the saw kimmel get exactly what he wanted and went all out to reform show to be friendly and pc. This fake shit pretty much destroyed Artie.


Hearing stories now how he treats Gary and old staff gives me tremendous douche chills.

That was old stern, when he was proud to be an outcast.

>Hearing stories now how he treats Gary and old staff gives me tremendous douche chills.
What do you mean?

Chalk mate............

Right. That's the only Stern that deserves any respect imo.

I think Gary will be the one to write a tellall book once the show ends. You can't be treated like shit on and off camera for 30 years and not be disgruntled as fuck.

shoo shoo slow adult flu

I don't know what the fuck is up with him anymore?

He shuts down hallways whenever he's leaving his show
He fired and won't acknowledge the majority of his former staff
He does a 180 on most of his former stuff and now would kiss the asses of celebrities rather than doing skits

Here's a prime example of what Howard used to be before all this shit happened
>youtube.com/watch?v=mV0CjpvgJQo

Wrong. He has mellowed with age but is still really funny and does good interviews. Not an SJW or preachy, but is pretty buddy buddy with his liberal guests

>He shuts down hallways whenever he's leaving his show
That's the kind of shit Sinatra would pull.

He's still worth listening too if you want to hear four hours of someone choking on celebrity dick.

artie describes it pretty well in recent interviews

the red headed cunt has pretty much ruined the show. came in because she was a part of some self help book cult that howard was into and suddenly she was higher up than gary.

people used to think howard was calling celebs out for their shit but in reality he just wanted to be one of them. once he got into celeb circles he dumped all his old friends and only hangs out with famous people. i don't think beth helped things either.

he's a great interviewer, but the rest of the show is total shit and a joke compared to what it once was. not filling the artie chair was a huge mistake because nobody wants to hear robin talk for 2+ hours a show.

Hi, this is Sal Governale, and unfortunately, yesterday on the Wrap-Up Show, I made a few comments that some considered to be racist and offensive. If I did offend you, I deeply apologize from the bottom of my heart. What I was simply trying to do was make a joke over the fact that white women generally don't have sex with black men. It was simply a joke, and the joke got out of hand, because in this situation it was true. People were offended. It doesn't matter what type of baby you have whether it be white, black, or Italian, the important thing here, that we can learn from this, is a) you shouldn't drink and do drugs, because you might end up in a situation that you regret, whether it be a white child or a black child, and b) I have personally learned that when I address things, I should address them in a much better way, in a specific way, as not to offend people. Black people, white people, Spanish, Italian, or whatever, whatever the case may be. I sincerely mean this. I sincerely stand behind the fact that I was joking, and I sincerely apologize over the fact that people were offended. I am not a racist. Thank you for your time.

George Takei is a fucking degenerate it's because of people like him that the gays are often so hated.

This old queen fears Opie.

oh i forgot to mention that howard is completely checked out as well. remember how much energy he had when he went to satellite and how he talked about how he was going to fill 2 channels full of content?

i got rid of my subscription a couple years ago but does he have any thing on his channels now besides repeats? he took his entire budget for the channels and just decided to take even more money for himself because those channels were a fucking ghost town by the time i cancelled.

also he treats his staff and his former staff like shit. they all get paid poorly while he gets 99.9% of the show's budget. i'm not a poltard so i don't want to say he's just a greedy jew or anything but he doesn't exactly make jews look generous.

>First year was fine, then he realized he had 1/10 the audience.

Literally who wants to pay for fucking radio? Especially because if you want Howard Stern, it costs more than HBO.

...

the worst part is howard stern doesn't even come with a regular xm subscription, and you can't pay for just howard stern alone and nothing else.

if you want a subscription WITH howard stern it's over $20 a month. give me a fucking break.

He's not a worm who despite his friends all being successful, has no legit film credits and so he takes it out of a 60 year old blond man?

sorry to see artie got busted with H and coke a few weeks ago.

can't say it was shocking i suspected he'd been using again for quite a while but still it's always sad to hear that shit. i'm really surprised he hasn't OD'ed or killed himself yet.

Exactly. $20 dollars a month. HBO is only $15 a month if you don't get a discount from your cable provider or something. And that's already expensive because Netflix is only $10 a month. Howard Stern is twice as expensive as Netflix. It's insane.

Wasn't he on that one HBO show?

He said in an interview he almost jumped off a building to his death a few years ago, but didn't because he didn't want to land on someone below and have that person be "the guy artie lange landed on"

just listen to some of artie's recent interviews where he talks about howard.

howard hired this 30something redheaded cunt named marci turk solely because of the fact that she was part of this cult that was into this self-help book called "getting things done"

he immediately placed her in a position higher than gary, gave her gary's office and even made it bigger (something gary had requested for years).

he also won't even take phone calls from old staff members and basically treats the rest of his staff like shit. they all walk around on eggshells now because they're afraid marci turk will decide they're not "getting things done" and give them the axe.

...

Oh yeah, Crashing. Haven't watched it. I hear it's okay.

Don't you mean ...gregshells?

>implying they all hated opie because he was moody and would play hardball to get cash

What a fucking mess he is, stabbing his own guts out didn't change a thing.

I miss old Howard Stern, his show was some of the raunchiest, dirtiest shit I had ever seen, everything a growing boy needed.

>never funny
Let's not say things we can't take back

yeah he was on crashing season 1. i know right before he got arrested they were talking about expanding his role for season 2. not sure if that's still the plan or not. haven't really been following it too closely.

Someone post a video of Howard being funny. I've literally never seen it.

When did this change take place? What's the cutoff point for when his content was worthwhile?

Does he still have pornstars and shit on there?

I don't understand why you people are acting as a de facto Howard Stern Internet Defense Force. Are you that in denial? It's not even some crackpot theory/rumblings from a disgruntled ex-fan. A chorus of people who have worked on the show have said the same things and worse. Howard fired his HowardTV crew without so much as a mention or send-off.

He won't take Artie's calls, despite collabrating in his situation, and using his drug abuse saga as material for the show. Artie just wanted a friendship with the guy, especially with the history with the dad, and Stern was like 'Now that I don't need you, you basically don't exist.' Nice.

He has no respect for Gary dell'abate. His hiring of Marci Turk meant him taking a back seat to this 'shadow producer'. You listen to this show now, and even as late as the Satalite era ('06-10) and it's just a marked drop in games/fun bits/sex talk etc. I'm not even an old time listener, pre satalite, and I can't even imagine how those guys feel - back when it was the true golden age.

I stopped being a regular, every day, listener when Artie's departure happened. I moved to a once-twice a week 'skimming' listening. I would hunt down for good material, and there just wasn't any. The straw that broke the camel's back for me were, what I would like to call, 'the North shore Animal League' episodes. Episodes where he would dedicate inordinate amount of time to talking about animal welfare shit that his stupid wife is brainwashing him into plugging. The shit that really brought everything in perspective for me, about HS's change, were when his pets died, the bulldog and the cat. Listening to him cry and mourn for fucking 2-3 hours about his stupid fucking cat was too much. This guy wasn't ever going to be edgy again, told myself. So that was it for me.

So now I'm just tuning in whenever I see a famous celebrity interview. All that Stern is for me, is a Barbara Walters or Larry King now.

he hasn't had pornstars on in years.

once they switched over to satellite it was still raunchy for a while with the sybian and whatnot but then at one point they just stopped and never looked back. the show is pretty much notable now only for his celebrity interviews, which are good but certainly not worth the $20 a month it costs for a siriusXM subscription.

don't have any exact date on when they went from rated X to pg-13 though.

I still can't believe Artie choke-slammed Robin last week.

my shoo shoo slow adult flu was a joke about how shitty the show has gotten since they won't even say retarded anymore.

i'm definitely not part of the howard stern IDF

youtube.com/watch?v=fboXaOSY9LY

A legitimate KKK member used to be a regular guest.

I want to say this happened somewhere between '13-'15. I believe Marci Turk was brought on officially around '13, but who knows how long she had been a secret confidant of Howards. It was a steady transition after Artie's departure, that just picked up speed once the redhead got official duties.

It's OK, granny-user. I get it, you don't think he's funny.

but he is

He really does not want to do the show. He should have stopped renewing his contract at least two renewals ago. He does the 3 day a week celebrity cock suck because he gets paid for it. The show stopped mattering to him long ago. The show will end with a whimper and being the opposite of what it was about, so called shock entertainment.

WOW, this is totally shocking, no porn stars? I mean what's even the point of his show without the raunchy elements?

He's got a gay orgy planned out for George on Monday.

Stern was never really a funny guy, and youtube/pornhub eliminated the need for anyone to do "shock jock" type radio stuff with porn stars/stunts/pranks and such. The show is ok when they have an interesting celebrity guest on, but other than that it is a boring relic of the past.

I like the tasteless segments where they take advantage of retards.

it used to be such kino

What an amazing man.

nigga just do the gmail period trick and scam the kike out of this monthly 20$ lmao

this.
he gambled and lost and then scrambled to rebuild and remain relevant in the internet age. what a shame.

I don't know why he doesn't just make his show a podcast now. I think he just has nostalgia for radio, like how some people just have to own all their records on vinyl.

because he looks down on podcasts. a while ago he got into a gay spat with ari shaffir, and said that ari should go do terrestial radio, build a following, then go to sirius, not realizing that shaffirs podcast get 1 million + downloads every week.

also i think hes scared. hes number 1 in radio, but if he went to podcasts, he would fail. he wouldnt be able to compete with rogan

Is Rogan the biggest podcast on the internet?

good for celeb interviews but the magic is gone these days

he has to be

I actually still listen to the show because I didn't start listening until 2010, the year after artie left. I have gone back and listened to a few hundred older DC/NBC/Jackie/krock/billywest/artie all the eras. I think the show is funnier than 90 percent of anything else you are going to hear and i listen to over 100 podcasts and Im just a big fan of comedy in general. The thing with stern is he makes anything and everything entertaining to listen to. Yes he has changed alot, but hes always been a nutcase and he has so many issues that he'll never fully solve and get over, but he is a genius. His contract is up at sirius after 2020 but i sadly predict the show will end before that because robin's health has been not so good and she is not in the studio so much any more and does it from her house or something. And if she dies Howard would stop the show because she is the heart. If you wanna get a full retrospective of the show that is well done listen to the history of howard stern that siruis did a few years ago thats in 5 acts and each act has like 10 parts that are like 5 to 7 hours each. It covers everything up until the move to sirius in 2006

He also talks about enjoying having sex with old men when he was a minor and so is thought is pedophilia is OK, but of course no one wants to talk about that. He's a progressive hero!
