Howard Stern Celebrates Letterman’s Anniversary — Keeps Jay Leno Feud Alive

Howard Stern appeared on Letterman last night for Letterman’s thirtieth anniversary, and he did not disappoint. He kept the Leno/Letterman feud alive, and he even got Dave to utter the words, “If Jay Leno wins the People’s Choice Award it’s as if Charles Manson got paroled.” Stern also reminded the world of Jay Leno’s infamous choice to hide in a closet during an NBC business meeting to find out whether he was Johnny Carson’s replacement. Letterman laughed in confirmation, and Stern told Dave that despite his new judging role on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, he won’t appear on The Tonight Show because of his loyalty to Letterman.

Spelling Bee Contestant Can’t Spell “Heron” — Cheater?

Howard Stern played this clip, and it was so funny I had to post it. When a spelling bee contestant didn’t know how to spell heron, he asked the moderator to repeat it numerous times. He repeated it back incorrectly, which forced her to continue. My guess is that he was secretly trying to turn her pronunciation into spelling hints, which ultimately worked. She basically gave it away. Watch below.

While doing some serious research about whether Gene Simmons wears a wig, I discovered rumors about Howard Stern’s hair . . . or lack thereof? When in doubt, go straight to the horse’s mouth. Click the link below to find out.

Quote of the Day — Howard Stern on Abortion

“These f*cking people won’t lighten up with that abortion. It’s legal. Get over it. Don’t have one if you’re not into it. And Rick Santorum is another genius with that sweater vest. They should take that vest and him and throw him right out of this country!” Howard Stern’s take on abortion protesters and his opposition to Rick Santorum.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Quote of the Day — Joan Rivers v. Chelsea Handler

“The girl made it laying on her back fucking the President.” Joan Rivers on Chelsea Handler, referring to Chelsea’s former relationship with the then head of E!, Ted Harbart. To be fair, Joan said this to Howard Stern in response to Chelsea Handler’s attack on Joan Rivers from the day prior. The lesson? — Don’t piss off Joan Rivers.

Howard Stern Drunk Dials Twitter Fans on New Years

The art of Howard Stern’s genius is that his ideas are simple yet brilliant.  His latest ground-breaking adventure involved calling his twitter fans on New Years, telling them he and his wife are drunk-dialing and asking for phone numbers.  And according to some tweets, Stern followed through. Too bad I was out of the country and missed the opportunity. Here’s hoping he makes house calls next.

Howard Stern Will Judge America’s Got Talent! — HOORAY!

Howard Stern fans everywhere have something to celebrate today. We finally will see more of him — and this time he’ll be on mainstream television. NBC confirmed today that he’s officially signed on to judge America’s Got Talent, and they are even moving production to New York to accommodate him (everyone knows Stern hates to fly). Stern has famously complained for years that he wants to judge a talent show, calling the format “easy money,” and saying that he’d lecture the contestants on the ability to make money off their craft. In fact, he recently told Sharon Osbourne that last year’s America’s Got Talent winner was a mistake, as “no one needs a Frank Sinatra impersonator.” Since Stern and Simon Cowell (the show’s creator) are friends, it only makes sense that he’d be courted. I must admit I’m shocked he took the job. He doesn’t need the money, and at this stage in his career I figured he’d want less work — not more. But the man always surprises me.

‘The Talk’ Panel Tells Howard Stern Why Leah Remini & Holly Robinson Peete Were Fired

Howard Stern is the only man who could get to the bottom of why Leah Remini and Holly Robinson Peete were fired from The Talk. Sara Gilbert, Julie Chen, and Sharon Osbourne appeared on Howard Stern’s radio show to promote The Talk, and Stern grilled them for an explanation. Though Stern implied that Chen was to blame because of her marriage to CBS honcho Les Moonves, Gilbert quickly came to her defense and explained that the studio and the network made the final decision, and Chen didn’t have a say. Stern then pressed Osbourne, who is always honest. She quickly said that the chemistry was clearly off with the prior panel, and she therefore had a feeling they’d get the boot. Stern also asked Chen to confirm whether she insisted on being present when hot-button subjects were discussed, and she admitted that because of her journalist background, she was the only one who knew how to avoid a lawsuit. So what have we learned from all of this? We learned that the television industry is very similar to high-school, so you better make nice with the popular girls, especially when one such popular girl is dating the captain of the football team.

Barbara Walters Discusses the ’10 Most Fascinating People’ — ‘The View’ Ladies Disagree

If you read The Dishmaster regularly, then you know my two biggest idols are Howard Stern and Barbara Walters. In the clip below, you’ll understand my love for Walters, who unveiled her ’10 Most Fascinating People’ on ‘The View’, which resulted in a backlash from her fellow co-hosts. My favorite line of the clip comes from Walters, when she says, “Why do I do this show, I could have a happy life on ABC News.” Watch below.
