While Howard Stern is frank about issues he discusses, one might question his claim that his goal is not to try to shock people.

Take for example the stunt where he arranged for several male listeners to compete for an opportunity to have sex with a pornstar who frequents his show. Hard to imagine that as a means for expressing honest opinion, much easier to understand that as a shock stunt.

Nothing against what he does -- sometimes its funny, but he should be honest about his intent, or else he's just like Fox News pretending to be fair and balanced when they're nothing of the sort. He does a lot of opinion. But he does a lot just to shock people. Why not just cop to it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.89.118.161 (talk) 17:13, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I notice several instances of "it's" where "its" should be used. It's = it is and does not connote possession. A very common error. Can somebody correct these? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.228.129.212 (talk) 08:33, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's as a possessive is very old English; modern preference is its possessive and it's as a contraction of it is as standard usage. Still, folks who read old authors pick up archaic usages and repeat them. Naaman Brown (talk) 15:04, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of his PPV specials/tapes. Negligee and Underpants Party, U.S. Open Sores, Butt Bongo Fiesta and New Year's Rotten Eve.Satanico (talk) 06:32, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They will be mentioned here as the article begins to develop, but there is a separate article for the PPV specials. Hopefully we can get this to a Good Article!(92.10.2.131 (talk) 03:22, 9 January 2010 (UTC))[reply]

I think it was like Moondog or something like that. Not Robin Givens, but a different name, male. Had the impression that guy did not go with him to NYC and syndication.

The only sidekicks he had in DC were Robin Quivers and Fred Norris who was nicknamed "Earth Dog". MrBlondNYC (talk) 02:00, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. Well how come they stopped calling him Earthdog? And how come you never heard him after Howard left DC? 52.129.8.51 (talk) 18:27, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fred has been on the show every single day to this day. You can click on his name, you know? "Earth Dog" was the radio nickname he gave himself. But because of his quirky personality they started calling him "Fred the Martian" and "Frightening Fred". MrBlondNYC (talk) 01:01, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think you guys mean Earth Dog Brent, who was with Howard and Robin at DC-101 for a short while, until Fred replaced him and became "Earth Dog Fred." Fred was given the name, and did not work on WCCC as Earth Dog.(92.3.45.71 (talk) 18:51, 16 October 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Don't forget there was also the Think Tank at Washington, with Steve Chaconas, who left the show in early 1986 due to commuting schedules. This was when Jackie began working full time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.10.2.131 (talk) 03:25, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"In the 1990s show Animaniacs episode Morning Malaise, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot enter the studio of "Howie Tern," a clear parody of Howard Stern." If it's a clear parody, wouldn't that make it unneccesary to say "a clear parody." If it's clear (which I agree it is), then the name CLEARLY speaks for itself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.139.1.68 (talk) 14:20, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

if everything that is clearly something makes it unnecessary to say so why would the term even exist? in fact, why say anything for that matter. 24.144.8.92 (talk) 02:32, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That picture is not Howard Stern.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.32.75.130 (talk) 01:19, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can anyone else verify if File:HowardSternJuly09.jpg is or is not Stern? I looked at recent images of him and it looks like similar face shape, it just looks like he is without makeup/hair products. I'm not a fan and don't keep up with him, so if anyone can verify it or not, that would be great. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 01:03, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, a new picture has been uploaded (well, from 2000). --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 01:45, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It takes someone who is a fan to know what someone looks like? it wasnt him, it didnt look anything like him. thanks for correcting it. 24.144.8.92 (talk) 02:06, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bit of a weird claim. If for instance, I don't know, Matt LeBlanc decided to call himself the greatest and most witty actor ever would that deserve such a prominant place in his Wikipedia page. Except perhaps Matt LeBlanc is actually famous worldwide, ask someone in India, Japan, South Africa, Norway, UK and if they are the right age they'd of heard of him. This guy is a virtual no-body in the UK, i'd never heard of him. Seems a weird claim that's all! Cls14 (talk) 00:41, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"King of All Media" is not a claim. It is what Stern began to describe himself in the early 1990s following his success across the media. It is a play on words with the association of Michael Jackson and "The King of Pop", although Jackson himself didn't call himself that.(92.10.2.131 (talk) 03:23, 9 January 2010 (UTC))[reply]

This article states that in 2004, he signed a 5 year contract with Sirius. So is his contract now over or has he extended it? Is he retired? 24.188.207.20 (talk) 03:22, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The contract expires on 31 December, 2010. According to Mel Karmazin's recent interview on Charlie Rose, contract discussions have not begun yet.
