Trump mocks ex friend Howard Stern for softball interview

[JebJoh]

His advertisers really dropped off a cliff when he went to Sirius, he went from being able to have big contests where people won a good amount of money / vacations / etc to top prize being 500 bucks thanks to stuff like “cougar” dating websites.

That 10 million claim doesn’t seem accurate at all, especially since you have to pay extra just to hear him. Howard 101 at least was at one time good for the die hard fans since it played “classic” stern replays but now it only plays the recent tame stuff to avoid any “offensive” content that Stern was famous for since the 80s.

He also doesnt get comics anymore so I guess he’s not filling clubs for them.

I always liked that story of Gary telling Gilbert Gottfried they don’t have comics on anymore and they had Chelsea Handler on that day.

Artie Lange just being on the show was able to tour and fill big venues thanks to just being on the show even though he hadn’t updated his set since the early 2000s. Even Norton was playing big venues just being third mic on OnA.

Even in LA, which was not huge in O&A...Norton once showed up as a surprise at a show I was at in the Improv, and the crowd went wild for him.

I doubt that happens at all today. Except maybe the North Hollywood faggots swooning because of Norton's "wife".

He was also doing the tonight show often back when people actually watched the tonight show. Now? He played a small comedy club near me and they were advertising buy one get one tickets for him.

 

[Agent Smith]

He should retire. Simple as that.

He should have died while he was still funny.

If you count every subscriber who listens to any stern channel or replay during the week the number might be 10 million per week. The quality of his advertisers drops every year so I assume his regular listeners are steadily leaving.

Stern has under 100K daily listeners even with Sirius padding the numbers. This was leaked from one of the advertisers. It's a fact. Stern never had O&A numbers on satellite. His biggest years was his first year then it went down and plummeted when Artie was fired. Stern also only works three days a week so his cumulative hours are paltry compared to any five day a week show.

They barely even use him in ads for the service compared to how they used him years ago since you have to pay extra for him. They advertise special channels, celebrity hosted shows, etc. but Stern barely gets the coverage they gave him back in 2005 when they signed him to be “uncensored” after being so restricted on FM radio. Plus he sued them over a bonus he felt he was owed over bringing in subscribers and lost which shows he doesn’t get the numbers he claims he does. Stern wants people to think every single Sirius subscriber gets it for him which is far from true.

You start to understand why it drove Opie crazy. Suing your employer and being treated like royalty by the company.

I saw someone on the Howie sub speculate that Howard is legitimately trying to kill Sirius before he jumps ship. This is so he can claim he was carrying Sirius on his back and they’re fucked without him, just like how “terrestrial radio died when I left”.

Because the sad fact is is that when Howie leaves SXM the company will instantly become more profitable. Speaking that they no longer have to pay a 9 figure salary to some bum who gives them 0 ROI.

I guess they feel they owe it to him since he was the first big thing they had to offer that made them stand out compared to XM which was the bigger one at the time. They pay him WAAAY too much now and are kinda stuck with him. I remember he used to bitch about people like Oprah and Eminem having channels but never did shows at first - now he’s barely there and usually on vacation while mailing it in while on the air.

 

[satanssockpuppet]

Stern, like the various late night hosts, exists purely for propaganda. They've got all of old media sewn up. He has been uncool for a quarter century. His hair fell out. He has to wear a wig and no one listens to him. He lives in hell.

He's fabulously wealthy, and lives in a cavernous mansion, with his strangely sexless wife. His kids hate him, he's afraid of literally everything, and his main pursuit in life is crying to his therapist about his daddy not giving him enough attention in 1966. His gay show is a crumbling facade, his audience is mostly gone, he shamelessly panders to a crowd that doesn't give a fuck about him, and when he dies, no one will remember him as anything more than a crude shock-jock. It really is quite hellish when you think about it.

I can see that, he will spend the rest of his life telling anyone that will listen he was the one that built Sirius and they’re nothing without him when yes he got them attention in the mid 2000s for going to a pay service but that was a long time ago. I bet they even listened to him at first about how podcasts would never take off and never make any money and now they dominate while satellite radio is starting to seem ancient compared to other listening options for younger people.

It makes me happy that he’s got so much money yet it will never make him happy. His staff is nothing but kiss ass types afraid to upset the old pelican and tell him he’s the greatest interviewer and the show is better than ever. He will never be able to retire because it means he will go back to being nobody and his ego can’t take it.

He’s done everything he mocked others for doing - wearing a wig, leaving his wife for a “super model” (she wasn’t, she did Sears catalog type work) and not knowing when to retire, and selling out.

might be 10 million per week

No chance.

Yeah, he wanted the total XM subscribers from the merger to count towards his bonus after the merger. During this he would say how they were breaking his contract and he WAS TOTALLY FAWKIN LEAVING THIS TIME!

 

[BrotherMan1488]

That rumor was started on O&A about Aniston having a bad smell.

Lol remember when they were bashing Sarah "foot face" Jessica Parker so she called in....they rolled over

How much for Hanna Gatsby tickets?

It did except for Conservative talk radio and Sports there in the dumps

 

[Chive Turkey]

I think he’s trying to learn how to sing as well.

That's shit you might try to do in your twenties, not when you're well over retirement age.

I doubt that happens at all today. Except maybe the North Hollywood faggots swooning because of Norton's "wife".

Nobody fucking knows who Norton or his womandingo are except types like us.

Nothing would be better than Stern releasing a music cd. “I think it seems like a good idea, boff. You could easily sell a million cds. I wouldn’t put it on Spotify either.” Edit: “exactly, boff? Why would you put it on Sirius so they can make even more money off you? Okay then, I’m off to buy Mary another Tahoe and then babysit the grandkids by myself while the rest of the family goes to dinner.”

I remember he said he liked the show “Girls” but didn’t like Lena Dunham being naked so much on it and said something like she looked like Jonah Hill and he was forced into apologizing to her over the air when she called in. What a pussy.
