WWAW Wigward's address to his troops in 2013? (perhaps the most embarrassing thing ever filmed)

[UnPRePared]

Back in the day, wasn’t the rumor the leaker was a HowieTV grunt? Also, isn’t there a second part that’s never been released?

That's the story.

C&D, legal threat, whatever it was stopped the second part of this from seeing the light of day.

I think it was rumoured that whatever the second video even was, it actually was worse than this one.

Shame we missed out. Hoo hoo.

 

[The Talking Dead]

Can anyone give me some context? He seems pissed off, is this an internal staff meeting?

This is a few years after Artie left the show, which left a massive gap they could never fill. I think Howie got frustrated that the show wasn't as relevant anymore and decided that to try and make up for Artie's absence, he going to turn the show into the number one destination for A listers. This entire talk was pretty much about how they could got about attracting bigger name guests and more often, a lot of it horribly cringe ideas like creating fake Twitter accounts and writing them letters.

Apparently this video was leaked by Howard TV staff after they found out they were losing their jobs. Why it was filmed in the first place, I have no idea. Anyway, this was the beginning of the end for Stern's show and resulted in the hollow husk it is nowadays.

They should have just filled the Artie chair and fired Fred. Howard interviews Post Malone a lot. They can’t possibly have anything to talk to each other about.

Something that stuck with me about this video, that I got from random comments about it, is that Howard just sucks as a leader. This is supposed to be one of those rally the troops corporate meetings but Howie is so autistic and selfish he turns it into a perfect example of what not to do. For example he says everyones metrics on tweeting / getting celebrities will be tracked. The only measure however is fired or not fired. What is stopping someone from just doing the bare minimum if the rewards are the same for someone who goes over that? Calling his employees out as a bunch of fucking slobs who embarrass him, etc. It’s embarassing.

“Ronnie, clear the hallways for me!” I can’t believe that guy is an asshole.

It's clear to me that he'd watched Steve Jobs keynote speeches and thought "I can do that", but it was just horrible. Half the stuff on his slides were misspelt or just amateurish little clipart illustrations and it was all just veiled threats instead of anything actually inspiring.

I like how he told them all to dress smarter but they also had to have the show logo plastered all over them. The whole thing was just nonsensical.

When people bring up that Howard would not allow people to be in the same hallways as him. Or that Howard would not allow people to make eye contact with him. Stern fags always deny it and say that it isn't true. Why? Because the person who broke that news to the public was Opie.

He’d bring it up when he was yelling at Ronnie to stop being an asshole and do his job. “Stand out there and then if I want the hallways cleared then do that.” The eye contact thing was never brought up though. He always acted like doing the show zapped him of every ounce of energy.

 

[JohnnyDoh]

That was insane. "I stayed up until 2 am furious over this shit" diddya? Stayed up thinking "why isn't Richard tweeting at Brad Pitt to come on the show". That video was comedy gold.

“Hayyyy Braaad Pitt it’s Richard’s daaad. I saw you in that casino movie with the cards and I think you’d be perfect for the Howard Stern Show. You could go halfway then stay with us for the night. I’ll take you to Taco Tico.”

This made me laugh because it explained why all these dumpy dudes on staff started randomly wearing sport jackets along with their dad jeans and sneakers, as if that's actually dressed up

 

[NigelCumia]

My favorite bit is his collage of the show's "friends" and goes one by one about what fucking losers they are and how theyd be nothing without him. This list included Jerry Seinfeld and David Letterman.

Jay Leno stole his entire show from Howard. Hoo hoo. I liked when they were mad at John for leaving to go there. “You could have said something and we could have tried to match the offer.”

This is making me fucking brood. WOULD JA HOWARD?

Fucking phony cocksucker.

Meanwhile Howard either dresses like a closeted 80s rocker or a jewish woman in a 1940s ghetto. When he's not crossdressing like a faggot for all of his book covers or Letterman appearances.

I’m sorry you’re too stupid to see this is a perfectly natural evolution. He’s just a rocker maaahn.

The rumor was that they had offered Stuttering John a 3 year deal worth a few million. It was enough for him to justify taking his whole family to live in LA. Artie even said on the air that he told him “as a comic and friend” you can’t not take the deal but you have to tell Howard. His house was beautiful in Artie’s words. Howard and Tom Chiausanno wouldn’t let it go on air while John was still there that he didn’t ask them to match a ridiculously high offer before the official announcement. Howard then went scorched earth on Leno which probably lead to Norton being a frequent guest.
Edit: the Milkcrate Marauder channel on YouTube has a bunch of great John compilations and the last two or so include all the shows where this happens. Douchebag needs to keep his “funny” skits to a minimum though.

 

[DMAN]

Telling his staff to make fake accounts and spam celebrities his name was consistent with his behavior all along.

Stuttering John is a boob, but there's 2 things I will always defend him on, he was right about Howard's cheap gift of popcorn for Christmas. It should have been an envelope. The other thing is that he was 100% right in leaving for the tonight show. It was a better move for him, money wise and career wise. You'd have to be a moron not to do this. Howard would never ever pay him what Jay was giving him and Howard fake loyalty speeches are bullshit, there's no loyalty back from Howard he'd step over Gary or Robin right now for a few more bucks. Howard was just pissed that he took an L from Jay is all

I took it as dress smart at work and be a billboard on your own time while you're creating fake Twitter accounts which I assumed would be expected on off hours as well.
