HOT GALLERY: Happy Birthday, Howard Stern! Snakkle Looks Back on the Reign of the King of All Media
Everyone has a theory about why Howard Stern has been so successful. Some say it's because of his honesty, his willingness to court controversy, to say just about anything. But the bottom line is that Howard knows how to entertain an audience. Whether he is hosting his daily radio show, which currently airs semi-daily on SiriusXM Satellite Radio, or judging up-and-comers on America's Got Talent, Howard is indeed honest and certainly says what he thinks. But he's not simply spitting out opinions or platitudes. He's funny, doesn't take crap from anyone, and puts on a show like nobody else can. On January 12, Howard Stern turns 61 years old, and if anything, he's even funnier now than he was on K-Rock or WNBC. Happy birthday, Howard! By Brett Singer
Howard Stern on Late Night with David Letterman in 1984
Watch this clip of Howard Stern on Late Night with David Letterman in 1984, when both funnymen were employed by NBC. Before you say, “OMG, what’s up with the mustache, cowboy boots, and leather pants?” remember—it was 1984. The appearance is one of many that Stern has made on Letterman’s show; this time he manages to complain about his four-page feature in People magazine, saying, “It seems like everyone wants to take Jews and put them in devil costumes.” He was happy for the exposure, though.
