And on top of that, Bugle Beak is a TERRIBLE interviewer. Rogan, Maron, even Jim and Sam are all WAY better than Howie is. He always starts with the bizarre daddy issues, he constantly interrupts and he asks the most moronic questions imaginable. He had Robert Plant on last year (I think it was 2021) and he actually asked him what writing "Stairway" was like, it was ultra-cringe.
It's Gary the Conqueror, bigot.
He's one of the worst. You'll hear a celebrity's guard start to come down and they'll pause to answer and just as they're opening their mouths Wiggy will blather over them with crap like, "Do you do third input?" Way to ruin the show, stupid.
I was the first guy in my high school to be a YUGE fan of Howard Stern. It was by accident that I discovered him, on WWOR on a Saturday night back in 1990. I was telling everyone, and no one was really interested until this new student from Delaware moved to my school (I'm originally from the northern Midwest). He used to get cassettes mailed to him from his friends back in Delaware, and we'd listen to them. This guy told me all about Don Imus, and how Howard destroyed him.
100% this (channeling my inner reddit fag)
It didn't work when he did it with celebrities but when he did it to nobodies like management it was funny, forget who it was Howard had their little kid on the phone asking him "do you ever see daddy wearing mommies clothes" and "does daddy cry when mommy hits him"
That interview was so bad it defied belief. Plant was clearly annoyed, too. The thing that used to make his celebrity interviews interesting was the anarchic nature of his old show. They'd come in expecting a typical interview, then Howard would start goofing around, asking them if they did anal, who they banged and etc. Sometimes it'd lead to fun interactions. Then, in a pitiful attempt to repair his "raunchy shock-jock" legacy, he began promoting the idea that he's some kind of gifted insightful interviewer, like the therapist to the stars. But he's awful at it.
Stern did Seinfeld's cars and coffee show a few years back and he came across like a complete lunatic. He was terrified over being out in public, he was badgering Jerry about going to therapy, he wouldn't order anything other than hot water and when Jerry offered to split a brownie with Howie he was mortified, like it'd kill him if he ate it. Then they walked down the street to a small grocery store and Stern was marveling over how nothing "bad" happened. He's clearly mentally unbalanced, and a giant faggot too.
I was in a hotel van going to the airport, when I met an optometrist from NYC. He said that Howard was his patient, and that he was painfully shy. Also, I remember Opie pointing out that Howard was at least bisexual from all the times he's gone out in drag.
Some of the best interviews Howard did, was when he'd have Hip-Hop Artists, Black Athletes, or Angry Blacks in general. Part of the humor was when Howard would utter something like "Word!" when they'd be spouting nonsense about Whites. I can remember a gameshow he had featuring real American Brothers and African Immigrants, and he'd play them off each other. He said something like "You brothers are keepin' real, not like those Oreo Immigrants" to the American Brothers. Then, he'd tell the African Immigrants "You guys are so much less violent and angry compared to those brothers".
