Howard Stern straightened his hair for his 1996 Birthday Show

[JoeCumiawearsDIAPERS]

Sounded pretty fawkin' good to me.

Also @LingerLonger i just realized ... Did Howie start the whole narcissistic "Birthday" show bit? It was always presented like the radio station was doing it for him, but did Imus or any of the prior big radio guys get "Birthday" shows? I bet Howard requested they start doing that for him

It's odd how Howard has been having his special boy birthday shows for decades now...as if the listener is supposed to care about a grown man's birthday

This is literally what I thought when I first stumbled across the video, although I assumed Howard threw his own birthday show right off the bat since that seems to be on brand for Howie

He would also pretend to be teenage boys and girls when engaging in cyber sex.

He did an entire chapter about this in "Miss America". Boy, that one sure didn't age very well.

MY IMMIGRATION POLICY
Wherever I'm born, I stay, that's my rule of thumb. I don't try to go anywhere else. I'm happy where I am. The problem is, nobody else feels the same. Take the Mexicans. They're nice people. I got nothing against Mexicans, but if they're Mexicans, they should be in Mexico. And the ones that come here are so angry. Of course, I'd be confused and angry, too, if I had dark skin and "white people's hair. Speaking of hair, how do you like those Hispanic chicks who dye their hair blond? That's an attractive look. No wonder some Spanish guys are ready to rape any white woman who comes along.

Look, if it was up to me I would open the world's borders to everyone so they could go anywhere. The only problem is that the United States is the only good country in the world. I don't see the Japanese opening their borders. The Germans try to rout anyone else out. Even Australia, a nation of criminals, keeps immigrants out. We take everybody's trash. We used to have an immigration policy in this country. During WWII a boat of nine hundred Jews tried to get into this country and we turned them away. Now no one's turned away. We used to get lawyers and professors coming here, fleeing intolerance. We got German rocket scientists, the crème de la crème. Now we get guys who aren't fit to be janitors.We're bankrupt because it costs a fortune to assimilate all these immigrants. We're spending a fortune on social programs for people who come here with no skills, no jobs, and nothing to do. They have to be put on welfare. And we have to hire special bilingual teachers.Then they want signs in Spanish. Excuse me, this is America. We speak English here.

You think you got secrets Howie? I got my guys on the inside.

Jackie has always said he didn’t know it was a wig and it had been so long ago that it probably wasn’t. Jackie also isn’t as angry as John who probably would have said it if it was true when he worked there. Having jet black hair and a graying beard is bizarre. I believe there’s a photo of him with cops when he was out jogging where he’s not wearing it and has a hat on. Maybe @LingerLonger has it.

 

[BonnieMcFarlaneMe2]

My ribs still get tickled when I think about how when Stern first introduced his new gf/wife Beth to the show he let Sal Governale interview her and his very first question was "Do you find Joey Ramone sexually attractive?" and she was like " Ummm...yes?". Stern is one ugly muthafucka.

Artie being really fucked up and laughing so hard at this is funny because when they address it on the show he’s acting like Sal was being a dickhead.

Stern fans actually found the company that does Howard's hair. It's a custom hair system where they glue and weave an entire series of wigs to your scalp that will stay on for a couple of months before needing to be replaced. They also dye your hair to match the wig as well. And do things like treat your scalp and measure your balding rate to adjust for the next series of wigs. It's a very complicated system. And probably costs a small fortune to maintain and requires a team of workers to visit your home every few months.

Anthony got these cheap hair plugs that looked horrible. And almost immediately started falling out anyways. Where he has the hairline of a chemo patient merely months after getting his supposedly expensive 'hair follicle transplants'. Stern gets a team of stylists to design and glue a wig to his head and has had this system since the late 80s. He likely has had this same system since WNBC and definitely during the KROCK years.

You have to give Sam roberts credit for rolling with what he had (as awful as that was) and then just saying fuck it and shaving it off. Way more dignity than having technicians come out and glue a wig to your bald ass head.

Even funnier is Stern LOVED to goof on Burt Reynolds when it came out in his bankruptcy that he spent over 1k a week on his hair pieces. Mind you that 1k a week was back in the 80s which would probably be around 10k today. Howard makes a lot of money and a good part of it goes to his hair as he still claims is 100% real all because he says his one grandfather had jet black hair into his 90s.

So like a rich socialite lady’s extensions, back when they were still in fashion.

We have the technology to synthesise or accelerate regrowth now, and Stern can afford it, so why doesn’t he try? Too old? Afraid of chemicals? Or is it just a sunk cost thing into his wig system?

I agree, I don't think it was a wig in the Jackie days, but he's 90 years old now, that's definitely a wig or some sort of individually placed follacales

Sam is a lot of things but he's not gay. Stern is 100% a homo but too afraid to come out.

It was a hair system in the 80s most likely. We have tapes of Robin busting Howard's balls for having a bald spot at WNBC. He was refusing Leno and Letterman's people from touching his hair back during the Jackie years. And he was certainly wearing some type of wig during Private Parts as you can see his fake hair in high definition. There might even be tape during his WDCC years of Robin mocking his bald patch. No one goes bald then magically regrows their hair in their 50s.

It's technically some expensive advanced hair system that is custom made for Howard by a team. That probably costs half a million per year because he has to appear on camera possibly hundreds of times per year and might get snapped out in public as well. It's absolutely one of the main contributors to his extreme paranoia and anxiety about appearing in public. And one of those things that he keeps absolutely secret from everyone except probably Ralph and Beth.

I still laugh when I think of hair baldness fear and remember that Joe Buck the NFL announcer almost died of hair plug addiction.

Artie once made a remark about Howard and his “hair” situation when Howard was complaining about how he hates to go into swimming pools. Stern didn’t say anything - Artie said like it was something Stern has to worry about - like his hair piece not being pool friendly.

Even funnier is looking back on how much he goofed on Burt Reynolds for having a hair piece. I think it was Loni Anderson or someone close said Burt never let Loni see him bald / putting on his hair piece and Stern loved to laugh at that. I guess Burt got the last laugh since that describes Stern for at least the last 20 years.

John Popper also once did Letterman and wrote in his book that one of the models on the show talked to him before his set and said "I'm currently dating Howard Stern". Problem was that this was over a year before Howard's public separation in 1999. Meaning that Beth, who is rumored to have been an escort in NYC, was 'dating' Howard in 1998. And also dating him before Howard allegedly went on what he called "a tear" of women that he had sex with (who coincidentally were all also Don Buchwald clients).

So this guy was responsible for exposing that Howard's dating history was a lie inadvertently. Leading to people into digging up Howard's supposed celebrity dating spree and finding out that 100% of women Howard dated after his separation were arranged dates with Don Buchwald clients to make them more famous. As Don Buchwald was Howard's radio agent. And also digging into how Beth had met Howard which was that she was escorting with some dude and approached Howard. And he started using her services, likely as a beard, to recover his public image after his movie bombed and his wife dumped him for a wealthier jew.

They were almost certainly dating earlier than Howard said, but Popper's 1998 Letterman claim has been pretty thoroughly debunked (it happened in 2001, not 1998) and shouldn't be cited as proof of that.

Popper was on Letterman in August of 1998. And Beth was dating Howard some time in 1998. But Howard's separation wasn't announced until October of 1999. He was openly dating Beth in 2001. So her keeping their relationship a secret in 2001 makes zero sense. But it makes sense if she was already contracted to Howard through some escort service in 1998.
