I love Stern. I pay $10 a month to get Stern ON Demand.

Re: Anyone here listen to Howard Stern?

I gave Stern a shot when he was briefly on the Toronto market. As I remember there was a 2 minute tape delay because the CRTC was freaking out over him going over the line. Anywho, I listened to the show and while it was funny at times he just seem to sound tired and spent. I'm sure he's rejuvenated a bit now that he's on sirius but at the time I was listening to him he definitely had David Letterman Syndrome*.



* Meaning he'd have his good days and bad days, coast on his past reputation and more or less be a shadow of his former self. (at least dave is still a great interviewer)

I watched when he was on E!.

I don't really listen to the radio much and I don't have Sirius.

The guy is classless, and not funny (IMO). I couldn't believe it when he was making odds on whether the late Morton Downey would survive a lung cancer operation. He is scum.

Re: Anyone here listen to Howard Stern?

I listen to it, and love it. I started to grow tired of his show on free radio. It was basically a bitch session about the FCC. The show is much better on Sirius. Richard and Sal's prank calls are hilarious, and it's nice hearing the real Artie Lange.

the prank calls that are prerecorded from the studio's side has got to be comedy at it's finest. My favorite one was when the had Artie call in sick to a deli-remember that one?

No Downy wasn't a class act, but that doesn't change the fact that Howard was willing to go to "maggot level" to appear more "edgy" for his fans. I guess he was joking, but there are actually things you don't joke about. I saw the TV version of his show a handful of times on E, and found it to be 1% irreverent, 99% brainless.That being said, I have never listened to him on Sirius.

I never listened to Opie and Anthony, but what makes them so much better then Stern?

Re: Anyone here listen to Howard Stern?

i was just listening to him and i just started wondering if anyone here at OS listens to him... personally i think his show is unbelievebly funny and i enjoy listening to it everday..

I listen every day. Majority of the time it's great, but even as devoted as I am to him, sometimes I turn it off. He has gone too far at times, I'll never deny that. But you just can't take him seriously or you can't be easily offended. The best part about him though is what he's able to get out of celebrities. I don't know what it is, but he's got a way to get some of these people to really open up about things you would never hear anywhere else. And it's not just Sirius, but he had that ability back in the "free FM" days as well.

Anyway, between Crazy Alice, Riley Martin, the new guy Bigfoot, Richard and Sal, Fred's sound effects, Robin's eletist, know-it-all attitude, Baba-Booey being Baba-Booey, and Howard being the insecure leader of them all just adds up to some harmless entertainment. But I again admit to shutting it off at times. Too much of a good thing isn't always good.

And for those of you that listen now - I really don't listen on Fridays anymore when they just replay those classic shows. We've heard all that stuff already, it was funny at the time but it's just not interesting anymore, at least not to me and some of my buddies who listen. I'd like to have the Friday Show back with John Hein and Ralph and the rest, that was decent.

Re: Anyone here listen to Howard Stern?

I love it. I listen a few times a week, but not quite everyday. And I don't feel sorry for Eric the Midget, Beetlejuice, etc etc. They appear on the show on their own free will and they know what they are getting themselves into.
