Everybody Hates Chris started in 2005 and Howard claimed it made his show seem like a knockoff and that’s one of the reasons he pulled the plug on it.
That was one of things that got my nerves over the years, especially on Sirius when he kept talking about these major projects he was “in talks for” that were obviously bullshit.
Speaking of Larry Sanders, Howard had the worst cameo on there because his entire scene was just a commercial for Private Parts.
He always brags about how good he was playing himself and how hard it was yet sucked at playing an exaggerated version of himself - just like everyone else that did the show - meaning he’s a shit actor.
Always bragged about being some great guest too, but had this nervous energy whenever he would do one of the talk shows and usually had some stupid gimmick like trying to bring strippers out. You’re so crazy, Howard!
HE INVENTED SYNDICATION. HOO HOO
HE INVENTED THE MERGER. HOO HOO
I can’t remember who said it but it’s a really good point. Howard traded being the biggest radio personality in for being the lowest Hollywood celebrity. I quite literally don’t understand what he, or the company, was thinking. Moving to SiriusXM when both companies merged pretty much coincided with him stopping the radio show, going on shit shows like the View, and being on AGT. He is being paid millions upon millions of dollars for a show he doesn’t do anymore. Howard doesn’t have fans anymore. His “fans” are housewives tuning in to the Springsteen interviews and not giving a fuck who the jerry curled negro asking Bruce questions is.
It’s such an unbelievably stupid move. Anthony does the exact same shit. Watching O&A clips I can’t tell you how many comments describe finding O&A from youtube, usually years after they were off the air. Howard doesn’t need new listeners but it’s such a bad business move it’s insane. All the archives are locked in some vault at SiriusXM with the ones they choose to play being the same ones over and over, usually chopped and censored. It kills any legacy Howard has or exposure to younger people who weren’t around for when he was easily accessible.
Howie needed the gimmicks. Having Jackie hunched down behind the guest couch tossing pieces of paper at him would have looked weird on TV.
Or, If the NBA players recognized Howard maybe they wouldn’t want to shake his hand because he spent 20 years on air going NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER OH LAWDY LAWD I GOT MES SUM WATEYMELON in blackface and acts like he NEVER did that. I can’t imagine why a bunch of niggers wouldn’t want to shake hands with a disingenuous jew who hates them.
Marvel called me, Robin. They want me to play Dr Doom but I can’t talk about it.
Stern really stood out, though. He was just terrible.
So sad the Porkys remake was never made
American Pie basically beat Stern to the punch.
Better Call Saul ripped Stern off by having 50-year-olds play 20-year-olds! Hoo hoo!!
In all fairness, Howard went to Sirius in 2004. The merger wasn't until 2008. O&A ended up at K-Rock right after David Lee Roth ate shit for a short time and that was right after Howard left.
He went on that gay morning TV talk show and claimed he never said "nigger", which was totally hilarious, as in reality he said "nigger" at every possible opportunity for at least ten solid years. He'd get Billy West all revved up and it was nigger nigger nigger for hours on end.
Vince's WWE has a bunch of movies and he owns the TAPOUT shirt brand. But other than that his business ventures are hilarious. He owned a minor league hockey team one season before it imploded. Is still wasting time with the XFL. Spent tens of millions on his wife's failed political career (which was probably just hush money for her). His WWE streaming service was a disaster and a major money loser that folded to NBC.
They're remarkably similar in some ways. They're both essentially carnies, who pander to the lowest of white trash humanity, and they hate themselves for it, and desperately want to be remembered as "more". But they never will be. Vince will always be remembered as the musclebound wrestling guy, and Howie will always be remembered as the foul-mouthed, ugly Jewish shock-jock.
Holy fucking Christ, the WBF was like every gay Vince McMahon fantasy come to life. Once of those bizarre fruitcakes would flex and pose, and Vince would start orgasmically screeching in delight. No exaggeration, he'd practically swoon, and his eyes would roll back in his head. Those bodybuilder weirdos could barely move, and they were all dumb as shit too. They did a PPV show where they all dressed in costumes and posed, and it was maybe the gayest thing that ever happened, at least up to that point.
