I agree with this, a lot of why he stopped being entertaining was he was accepted by Hollywood and could finally sit at the cool table. He built his career goofing on celebrities for being stupid, arrogant, egomaniacs, etc but eventually became one of them so no more goofing. He went from trashing Ellen for being an untalented hack who wishes she had a dick to praising her and even telling his audience he just loves to watch her dance. Now the man famous for being “un-pc” and outrageous has a long list of staff and guests that can’t be mentioned, fake callers so nobody calls him out, pretends his old funny shows never happened due to content, lame over rehearsed bits, has lots of heavy gay antics for some reason (no women allowed!) , kisses every guests ass, and avoids anything controversial. He’s so “in” with Hollywood and their politics he can’t even goof on anyone that isn’t an approved target. He’s down to only goofing on Trump, OJ, and anyone at Fox News.I don't disagree with anything you say here, but I think the flashpoint of his descent into weak faggotry was the Private Parts movie. After that movie came out Stern was suddenly being praised and accepted by the elites of the entertainment industry who he'd built his career on mocking, and he went from bad-boy radio shock jock who didn't care who got pissed off at what he said to full-on Hollywood celebrity. From what I've heard of the Sirius years there was still some entertaining stuff happening but it was less Howard then the other people on the show, Artie, Richard and Sal's masterful prank calls, etc. (Richard and Sal's calls are hands-down the best part of the Sirius era if you ask me.) Howard lost his teeth on satellite, and going on to host that stupid talent show was the last nail in the coffin.
He became everything he told his audience he hated but deep down wanted to be. Now he’s just a miserable old man in a wig (not fooling anyone there) with a young gold digger wife (Talk about hypocrite, he shit on any celeb who left their wife to marry much younger women) who still won’t shut up about how great he was in Private Parts (came out almost 25 years ago) and hates seeing anyone happy.
