After 12 years of listening to Stern on terrestrial radio, today is the last broadcast. I am a huge fan and I am kinda sad about it. Thankfully I will be moving on to Sirius Satellite radio to continue listening to him and his crew after the new year. Anyone here listening? Will any of you be there for the move to Sirius? I am sad and excited at the same time. The next 5 years should be really funny. =) |

I love radio phone-ins! There's a great one in Liverpool, with a fella called Pete Price, he gets crank called all the time and it's funny as fuck. Howard Stern? He's sort of played himself out. A lot of mainstream entertainment seems to revolve around his brand of "offensive" antics. The right-wing crank guys are much more entertaining now. |

Howard didn't play himself out; he paved the way for everybody to do his type of humor. I understand what you're saying, though. You hear "lesbian this" and "midget that" everywhere nowadays and it gets kind of old. Still, there's something that Howard brings to the table that makes his brand of humor more enjoyable than any other version. I don't know, it's like any trend. One guy creates some original piece of art or music or whatever that becomes popular, mass producers get into the game, and people eventually get sick of it. After 15 years of listening, I still go back to the source. Can't wait for January. [d] |

he isn't "wacky," which is a huge advantage over anyone else who has adopted that shtick |

he is a likeable person. That's what makes him different than the copy cats. He isn't like a used car salesman. He has a nice voice, too. I like stern. I like to listen to them most when they are doing the news, actually. I could do without the toilet humor for the most part. |

His whole cast works well together. Him and Robin especially work great together. Everything runs so natural. Emulating that is near impossible. One can try and rip off his brand of humor sure but what occurs in that show chemisrty wise is unique. _D_ is right. He paved the way. He is a pioneer of his style . I used to watch the program on E! because it wasnt broadcast here. |

i've been a huge fan since 97'. i've met up with almost everyone from that show. they're all very nice friendly people esp bababoey. i was very sad on friday. It was a great show despite all the constant bitching and self promoting during the last few years. i won't be going to sirius unless someone gets me a radio for christmas, which i doubt. i really love the show, but paying for radio is just rediculous. But come monday morning when they put on the two stupid retard clones doing the monday morning fart song...i'll probably change my mind. but honestly stern was the only thing other than NPR & news that i'd listen to on radio....other than that i just listen to cd's. yes you can say what the guy did is no different from whichever two local idiots they throw on after him, but the group of people that made up that show is what made the show. you can't copy or recreate that. |
