The Official Howard Stern Show Thread
- Thread starter gdt
- Start date
I'd be really sad if Artie left. I was waiting to see if he'd be in the next day after each day he turned out now to be in, and every time Howard said he wasn't back I got a little bummed and enjoyed the show less.
I can understand the Artie haters or the people that can't care either way if he's on the show, but I feel like he rounds out the cast of characters. It may just be an act but Artie is that "everyman" he makes good scratch but it doesn't help him with his personal issues and he doesn't try to make himself seem better than he is because he has money. He does all those charities for unfortunate people and you can hear it in his voice when he can identify other people's classy moves as he genuinely seems to understand right and wrong moves. He just falls victim to some mental issues in his personal life.
Most, if not all of Artie's stories (on the show at least, I never saw him live) make me crack up. It's in the way he can set up and tell a story. The coke-pig MadTV story clinched it for me when I got back into listening to Stern a couple years back.
I hope he's alright and maybe he just has the swine flu or another bad flu. I really want to feel like that's it and he'll be back in a day and really laugh it off that people thought he was gone. But if his self esteem and confidence is low because of his father/birthday thing, being doubted by everyone is not going to help.

I like Artie, but yeah the show had a different vibe last week and sometimes Artie interrupts the show way to much which gets on my nerves....
I do enjoy when Takei is on, he always makes the show better. I wish he would do it full time..

For the most part, especially the recent ones (do something for your plugs with all those girls and the wheel of sex, sanders the chicken picking football games against Artie, jay walking, that intern with the high/funny voice, and now flying that woman with balloons) I mean, how can anyone really deny it. The part that really is annoying is that while all those bits were implemented in an organic and funny way on the Stern show, they are forced and stupid of Leno's show. It makes it seem lame, and ruins it.
Tourrettes/Medicated/Karaoke Pete a good addition to the wack pack?
His Purple Rain rendition from yesterday killed me

Finally caught Artie's explanation on the compilation show today. Assuming it's true I actually feel bad for the guy. I knew he had a fucked-up relationship with his dad but didn't know he was a quadriplegic who asked him to help him die on a regular basis so I can understand why recent events sent him into his "mini nervous breakdown".

Is it weird that I totally loved the Purple Rain karaoke? It was funny and cool at the same time.

Yes, I enjoyed it too.johnsenclan said:
I'd really rather see Howard retire than go through this whole sham of renegotiating again. It just gets ugly and it drags down the show everytime he does it.
I'd still like him to be on the air somewhere, but only for an hour a day (or week). His first hour is still great. He just doesn't have the energy to carry that through for an entire show.

I think the man still has it. When he's interviewing someone he's genuinely interested in, it's like magic. I can't pull myself away from the radio. They usually schedule big guests toward the middle of the show and he manages to inform and entertain when he has something interesting to discuss.
I think what's killing Stern is more controlled PR and managers who are worried about their talent getting bad press. Unless there's someone in the studio who doesn't give a shit about anything, it's really hard to keep up that dynamic energy level Stern was known for.

I'm tired of the Man who Laughs at Everything.
Is it a mash up of DeNiro laughing in Cape Fear http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm81LSKJC2k
and the fact that JD laughs at everything?

You can even tell that the rest of the crew gets bored of it. Their laughter seems to just fade in intensity.
And yes, Artie mentioned that it is inspired by JD laughing at everything.
And damn, when Ronnie was talking about the chain of events with his mom I started welling up thinking about the time my mom was in the emergency room.

I wonder if the whole thing was rigged like SFN thinks. The wheelchair chick way cute i don't see how it could be THAT hard to get a decent bf. The ex con and midget just wanted to be on the show. Can't find any of them on facebook, could be actresses.
Started listening to the show through umm... nefarious means a few months ago, loved it so much I got a Sirius sub. I have no idea how I lived without the show before, totally wasted 24 years :lol
The man who laughs at everything is my favorite bit, a dog who's also a district attorney? Absurd!
