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 Dressed as Fartman with Jessica Hahn at the MTV Music Video Awards in 1992
“It’s a bird… it’s a plane… it’s a really bad smell! Ladies and gentlemen… Fartman!” Yes, dear reader, that is 90210′s Luke Perry introducing Howard Stern, who is indeed dressed as Fartman on MTV in 1992. Wow. The photo is of Stern and Jessica Hahn, whose disclosure of her affair with televangelist Jim Bakker brought scandal to Bakker’s PTL religious organization. Hahn was a regular on Stern’s radio show for many years.
