This was literally the purpose of inviting any celebrity onto the show. They come to the show to use your show and name to promote their stupid movies or TV shows. That is it. None of them are your friends. They do not care about you. You only get access to them to plug their trash media. They just are booked by their agents to do 100 talk shows in a month promote Iron Man 4 or whatever garbage is coming out. Your show is simply being used as a platform to plug another vapid soulless corporate mediocre movie.
Yet the guys loyal to Howard for years or even decades are forbidden from mentioning that they are appearing at a bar or club that weekend to try to make ends meet to support their families. Scott the Engineer can't mention he is doing an appearance at a bowling alley because it might somehow collapse Sirius and the Stern channels and send Howard into hysterics. Yet some D-list celebrity can plug another reality TV show during an interview endlessly. Or Beth can promote another cat or dog book she is 'writing'.
I love how Howard had that sibian sex machine thing in the studio. Literally debasing his entire show and studio to have prostitutes and porn 'stars' act like whores. But if Sal plugged a standup gig on the air it would be devastating to the Stern brand and no one would ever be able to recover.
I agree. But Stern called himself "The King of All Media" and took out a Super Bowl commercial for Private Parts. As if he was going to launch into superstardom and become a world famous actor. He had all these bizarre far out plans for movies and shows from the Porky's remakes to Howard Stern the High School Years and so on. Ivan Reitman had him convinced he would be the next Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Dammit, excellent breakdown homie. This is a great thread, glad you and the others posted on here.
I wonder what happened to make him turn down the Scarecrow part ? He has been out of touch for so long, how about the "rock band" he was in. If Fred was such a musician, why the fuck would you play with that walking stereotype of a Jew?
Gary called him out on his terrible taste in music;
That band was straight garbage
Gary is an audiophile, and Fred had the nerve to make fun of him for his top list of songs, his movie theater set up. Scott as well.
That would have been great to listen to his collection and watch a movie. Making fun of a guy for having barstools?
Robin is a black parrot The only ones who have stayed with him are the ass kissers and yes men.
Irrelevant for a long time.
Private Parts was an 80s ripoff. So many things to pick apart. Anyone post a link with him talking up the movie?
