Stern is about 75 years old. The only reason to listen to that show is for Artie. When I found out that Stern didn't even go to Gary's Fathers wake I was floored. His producer of over 25 years and he didn't go. Gary said that he has hung out with Howard less than 10 times in those 25 yrs. He's a self absorbed prick.
did u know why he didnt go to his wake??? it was because his girlfriend fell down the steps when they were getting ready to go and injured herself and he was in the the hospital with her... as for artie, im a fan of his, however, i saw him in pitt and rev bob levy was 3 times as funny as he was... artie can and will be replaced very easily when he finally leaves... trust me if it wasnt for howard, artie would be nothing and artie even admits that... as long as howard, robin, and fred are there that show will be fine... and by the way he isnt anywhere near 75...
I don't hate the Stern show but it has become somewhat stale. Artie is a star. Even if your GF breaks her leg I think you still got to make that wake. Unless it's a life or death thing. Favorite Howard show was when they had that professional tickler on there. Artie was all over him talking about get the ropes and the sulfiric acid. He was claiming the guy was a psycho serial killer.
