I used to love listening to Stern - the Eric the Midget (actor) skits had me having to pull over, I was laughing so hard. Later years weren't as funny, but were still entertaining. After COVID hit, the man lost his mind and half his show is about politics, ranting and stupidity. I stopped listening at that point.
As a former huge fan the fact he has basically become Don Imus is one of the most pathetic things I have ever seen in my life.
I come out with this and seems the media is right behind. Wildchild trailblazing once again. https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/howard-stern-germaphobe-retirement/ Howard Stern Didn’t Learn John Hughes’ Lesson Shock jock's stunning decline to germaphobic recluse stains his legacy Hughes reportedly wanted a life outside of Hollywood, thus his decision to quit a legendary, lucrative career. It’s possible he realized he had lost his creative fastball. Better to go out on top than drag his legacy through the mud. Someone forgot to share that lesson with the King of All Germaphobes, Howard Stern. The iconic talker ruled radio for decades. His sharp wit, eagerness to offend and unchecked Id made “The Howard Stern Show” a must-listen in a sea of generic shock jocks. As Stern’s autobiographical 1997 movie “Private Parts” famously shared:
Every car in the world manufactured today still has radios. And some of those car radios have Sirius XM built-in. (Which by the way, was named after the merger of Sirius and XM.)
I seriously haven't listened in 5 years so just checked out what they had up on youtube. From a month ago...even more pathetic than I could possibly have imagined. Unbelievable I honestly can't think of an entertainer or artist who has gone to that level of lame and shit like Stern relative to what they were in their prime.
