I think it's funny when he is "scrapping" with his fellow employees.

P.S. He just signed another 5 year deal with Sirius.
The first 5 year deal was worth $500 million.

I'm indifferent.

I listened to him a few times back when I lived in CA, wasn't impressed but didn't hate him either.

Saw his movie at a friends house - didn't care for it, but then I imagine you'd probably have to be a fan to really "get it".

edit: With numbers like that, I won't argue that he must be doing something right.

I listen everyday
great stuff - but certainly not what he used to be - but - who is....?

When I was 14, I thought he was funny and cool, and all his talk about sex, boobs, and bathroom stuff totally matched my maturity level.

I'm guessing I've matured, because I can't stand listening to middle-aged men talk to prostitutes, **** -stars, and homeless people... it's lame.

Now I listen to Radio 610 WIOD and listen to Todd Schnitt, Mark Levin, Finance Hour, and Fox News Radio.


Yup... it's happened...

Vulgar, immature, I can't stand him. But Bob & Tom is too immature too. I can't stand most dj's/radio personalities and their banter.

He's an entertainer, a clown.

Dealing with failure is easy: work hard to improve. Success is also easy to handle: you've solved the wrong problem, work hard to improve.

I think he is great .............for 13 year olds.
That isn't to say I have not laughed also.

The few times I listened I laughed at him NOT with him.

I used to listen all the time but I'm not in my car enough to have satellite radio anymore.

The last "morning show" that I listened to on a regular basis was Alex Bennett on KITS in San Francisco. That was in 1989.

Damn, I got old.

Anyway, Alex used to always complain that Howard stole his act. Apparently, Alex should have stolen Towards agent.

watched a few of the show when they were on tv. Hes just too rude and crude for even me. Those that like him....enjoy. To me hes just an annoyance...I dont have to listen to him.

No wonder China is taking over the planet.

I'd rather listen to paint dry than have his verbal filth come over my radio speaker.

I never liked him, and have no intention of watching his movie.

Al Sharpton wants to have all conservatives chased from public air ways. I'd support removing Howard from paid airways. I just won't pay for crap radio.

Thought he was "ok" when I was a teenager, would listen to him sometimes as I was getting ready to go to school. Don't really find him too funny anymore. Opie and Anthony were almost as bad, but I found them a bit funnier...

What do I think of Howard Stern?

I don't.

quote Originally posted by Doni Hagan: What do I think of Howard Stern? I don't.

Ditto.

I listen to the radio for music or news. I'm not interested in pointless blah-blah. And Stern is all about the blah-blah.

Listening to Howard Stern is like looking at P**n, you don't share it with your friends and you try to clean up before the wife comes home.

What do I think? That H.L. Mencken was right.

I guess i'm on my own.
Pretty strange.
Where is his audience?
Why is he paid so much if everyone dislikes him?

What do I think of Howard Stern?

As little as possible.

Definitely not my cup of tea and never was--radio or TV. Too rude, vulgar, and just comes off as a jerk--and boring as heck.
I have "heard" however, that his real life is 180 out from his on air personna, and that he helps a great # of people in dire need..

I think he can be funny.. I have not been able to listen to him for years since XM or whatever carries him. Better than Bob and Tom, anyhow.

+1. I listen to Opie and Anthony on the way into work, and then listen to the replay on the way home. There are a lot of times I find them just plain vulgar...especially Anthony and Jim Norton. But then there are other times, when they're interviewing people, and it becomes interesting.

Chapin rocks-his was the best concert that I ever attended(OK until I saw the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac recently). Oh, Howard Stern. There's a reason he wears sun glasses; that's one UGLY dude! His show isn't any better looking either.

About going broke, you mean?

Sho' you right!

quote Originally posted by Doni Hagan: About going broke, you mean?

... or not going broke.

I think he's disgusting

Not interested in listening to him. I have seen him on TV a few times and I wasn't worth watching.

I'm with you Boonie, I enjoy listening to Howard in the morning. I'm bummed when he goes on vacation, I prefer the "fresh" shows. I've been listining since 94, intitially I didn't like him but was "forced" to listen and grew to like him. I only bought Sirius so that I could listen to his show and am glad he signed another contract.
BABA-BOOEY to ya all! -Jason

quote Originally posted by Old Lar: I just won't pay for crap radio.

While I will admit that Stearns has become a financial success with his show, his common denominator is selling sex and sexually explicit language. He's a shock jock. I don't find much entertainment value in what he has to offer, I don't find any social value in his show and I find absolutely no value in paying for the privelige to listen to his crap. So, I guess you could say I'm not really a fan. I can hear the same thing down on the dock or out behind the highschool if I care to make that journey and it's free.

Yeah, but how do you feel about Howard?

quote Originally posted by Boondawg: I guess i'm on my own. Pretty strange. Where is his audience? Why is he paid so much if everyone dislikes him?

gotta remember where you are
this is a place that prefers management over talent

He has NO conection to my life. Why would I even care who or what he is.

Never mind, it's just not worth it.

Lesson: Never hit that button before you think.
